The CZickness XLIV Girding our loins for 2022

[wtburnette]

Glad to see WT on here. You doing "ok"?

Still having a lot of problems breathing and concentrating. Seem to be slowly improving after 2 weeks otherwise, thanks.

Well member how i stepped in poop this morning? Now Mrs BRC tested positive for covid. Said she felt like crap last night, felt like crap this morning. I swung by cvs, got a test along with a day/nyquill pack, some vitamin supplements, and an assortment of gatorade. Shes felling much better now, i guess thats one perk to being 25.

Good luck to you both. Good thing is youth aren't nearly as badly affected...

WT, it's good to see you here. Giving the we have all been dealing with, we were all worrying.

Thanks. More than a little worried myself. 2 weeks flat on my back, in and out of the hospital and just recently able to eat and drink well, though it all tastes badly off. If only I could take a deep breath, but I'm working on it.

Holy crap, glad to hear your starting to come out of it.

Hang in there friend! We're praying for you!
Adding Mrs BRC to the list as well.

We're looking for details from CM when he's ready to share about his lists.

Nice to see you back among us WT. Hopefully you can make to the meeting of the brain trust next Saturday morning. I think Pennie misses you.

Nice to see WT chime in here. Albeit, still way sick and fighting like Mike Tyson in the late rounds. Keep fightin' Iron Mike.!! We are all in your corner.!

THAT was a game!

No kidding !

Better this evening. If I could get a breath and get free of COVID brain things would look amazing.

Alma, Petoskey, and Cheboygan, MI on my schedule today.

Hope you skate thru without dealing with bad roads. Crazy drivers is enough to deal with.

Morning all!
P10s for sale in the classies. I really like mine.
Snowing here.

 

[88E30M50]

Morning folks!

It just started snowing here in GW too. I really liked my P10S and wish I had kept it.

I did a range trip down to HHRP yesterday to run a couple ARs. The DD M4A1 with the Leupold Mk AR and offset RMR combo was really good yesterday. I was jumping back and forth on targets, from the 50yd steel, then 100yd steel, then 200yd steel, then 100yd slow fire on paper with switching to the RMR for the 50 and 100 yard steel. I really like that combination.

Given that I had no rest and 30 round mags getting in the way, I’m quite happy with this group at 100 yards

The other AR I shot was the short 10.5” Loudenboomer. That was easy to plink steel with even out to 200 yards but I didn’t put it on paper with irons. Later, I brought the target in to about 5 yards to practice at CQB quick shots and the DD M4 continued to shine where as the little AR was a major fail for me.

I can do one eye slow fire with irons just fine but when I’m running both eyes open with the messed up right eye, I couldn’t pick up the sights with both eyes open. With partial vision in the right eye, I think I’ve become left eye dominant. I’ve never practiced point shooting with an AR but that was the only thing that worked for me on the little gun yesterday but I sucked at it. So, when I got home, the carry handle sight came off and the Eotech went back on.

 

[88E30M50]

The other thing that I noticed yesterday was that the stock GI style trigger on the DD worked better for me when shooting fast and close. I failed to reset the LaRue MB2S a couple of times with the little AR. I had really expected that gun to shine up close and personal and am amazed at how poor I performed with it in that situation.

Love it 88. That sounds like a fun range trip and good practice too.

Morning folks

Finally started feeling pretty decent yesterday and closer to full strength today. Managed to get some 308 rounds loaded for a bullet seating depth test. I think I'll get some 223 loaded today for the same test. Hoping for a range trip tomorrow, though it looks to be cold and snowy.

I've never been fast with irons on a rifle, especially ones with a rear peep sight. I do like and appreciate them, but IMO, fast target acquisition is not their strong suit. I'd rather have a red dot style optic or a LPVO scope.
