RE: A day in the country with Faith

in Outdoors and more4 years ago

I'm actually familiar with DA. We used it when I was Drag Racing. We had a beautiful wood box with a precision thermometer and humidity gauge in it. We KNEW our altitude (every track is posted) so had a DA to run on a chart for clutch settings and fuel settings. We kept our own chart very secret. We had an incredibly weird guy that was our fuel genius-it gave us an advantage.

I've done a lot of 'cold bore' shooting. Some days hunting you get 1 shot. Some days you don't get any.

Snow is fun for a couple of minutes :) Actually, if the wind wasn't blowing and it was just a gentle snow I sort of liked it. There was a heat bubble around your barrel and the sizzle was another distraction to deal with. You wanted to make sure your hat was pulled down to keep the snowflakes off your glasses....

Ah yeah, I think we spoke about DA and drag racing a while back actually...My memory must be fading. Still, maybe the explanation helps someone that isn't quite as knowledgeable as out out huh? I need to think that otherwise it was a waste of time typing it. :)

I love the cold bore thing...But I'd not want to make a precision shot without knowing what the bullet may do first, not an attempted kill on an animal anyway. Centre-mass POA doesn't always mean it'll go there.

Here's me in the snow...

Ahahahaha. I just read a post from a woman that finds herself in New Hampshire from the Deep South. Her 10 year old had never seen snow so when they got it they were really excited to go out and play. It was a hilarious recitation of how little fun they had :) She's going to open a Cajun restaurant in a New Hampshire ski town. Should be interesting to follow along.

I really like snow. On Christmas cards. :)

Sounds like a good story. That's on hive? Tag her for me and I'll have a look.

Yeah, we went to The Remarkables ski fields in NZ last year.. Was great but...Snow is cold. Just saying. 🙂
