Who needs brakes :dunno:
Probably helps when your built like a ogre

Not to derail the thread, but how do you like the results of that GoPro Adapter?  I've used every adapter kit PhoneSkope has ever made over the years (except for the GoPro) and always feel like my blood pressure skyrockets trying to get the damn things to get installed, stable, focused on an animal, and stay focused without a some weird vignetting.

im using nova grade, I removed the phone holder part and my GoPro fits right in the hole.  So no lining up.  Slip it in and link to gopro on my phone.  It’s awesome! Shoot me a pm if you have any questions

I’m all for it.   Just didn’t hear much takers of people listing where they live so we
Could find a central location.  I’ll be in Deep Creek range in Mt. next month and will be testing (3) rifles at 1k on paper cold bore.  I have a real switch windy spot on Snoqualmie pass that I can shoot rocks at around 950 and 1200.

Really I think it’s too late in the season for a shoot like this. Bear starts in 3 weeks and other  seasons go till winter.  If anything this should be a spring planning thing or should have been in June.  Too many folks got hunting trips to plann ect.  All that said Im always down for a shoot if it’s close enough and dosent interfere with a hunt.   Most know I’m in deer park just north of Spokane.  Prefer to spend money on components and not traveling.

I'm in. Will travel, have talked about "dope party" with a few members. Safety is paramount,  call some shots, help others dope their gun etc.

Yeah my summer weekends were filled up about 2 months ago :chuckle:

But honestly if its gonna be a shoot for money or "pink slips" pe*%er measuring contest count me out. I'm all about teaching, learning, having fun, but I'm not into "bring your hunting rifle and we can shoot for $20's" and then guys show up with 12+ pound 338's well then yeah I'm out :twocents:

Only a 12# gun? I was thinking the 23# SnipeTac pistol.

With a little time to plan, I’ll see if I can convince former forum members Jay.sharkbait and Biggerhammer to make an appearance. That could make for a really interesting day!
