I've got Coopers on my blazer and they've been fine. Lots of guys at work have their ATR's and like them.

Man blows off leg shooting Tannerite rifle targets
peejman replied to Pete123's topic in General Chat
Tannerite salesman of the year. I bet you won't be able to find it in stock next week. -
Welcome!

They used to be the cheaper option, but I'm at the point where I'd pay extra for a manual over an automatic.

I turned mine about a week ago so it'll hopefully dry out enough to till effectively. When I tilled it last year it just turned into baseball sized clods of dirt. I'm thinking about putting some sand on one part of it to help with the drainage/clay. I'd like to have already planted the cooler weather stuff like spinach and broccoli, but life keeps getting the way.

From when F1 cars sounded like F1 cars. ;)

The license isn't for the aircraft, it's for the pilot. If you fly it outside, you're required to have a license. My 8 yr old has a helicopter that's listed as for indoor use only. The only time he flew it outside, I had to retrieve it from the roof. It doesn't have enough power to deal with any sort of breeze. That said, it's pretty easy to fly around the house though a gym or other large room would be best. The controls on the quad rotors and the helicopters are basically the same. We had the same problems as the OP at first with it, and a trip back to the store found that it had been assembled incorrectly at the factory. Seems the blades are different and if they're in the wrong place, it won't fly at all. Once we got that sorted, it was still waaaaay too touchy and the battery life was a joke (like 90 seconds). So we traded that for a helicopter and he was much happier. This is what he has: https://www.hobbytown.com/Shop/AZSH1350-Ares-Chronos-CX100-Ultra-Micro-RTF-Heli-w-Camera/ The bigger single rotor helicopters are a whole different animal from the twin rotor type.

Know your target, and what's beyond.

I resemble that remark... :) Ever seen the EspaceF1? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGUyIOGVa0M

Interesting. It's like "the clapper" for the 21st century. :D My kids would have a blast with it.

Unarmed, knife and improvised weapons self defense class
peejman replied to Spots's topic in Training Discussions
Cool. Hopefully I'll make this one. :up: -
Cool, enjoy the show! Have you followed their newer stuff? I have a few earlier albums but kinda lost interest with drama and lineup changes.
-
A full teardown every time it's fired.
-
Far more guns get worn out due to excessive cleaning than excessive shooting.
-
I look at mine periodically and blow it out with compressed air when I see significant lint. I'll add that minimal lubrication helps in that regard. Grease/oil mixed with lint turns to goo.

I first heard Gary Clark on a Crossroads festival album. I picked up his live album and really like it. And speaking of Crossroads.... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yTu9tujtTcs

Dealing with "Todd", an opinion piece on self defense training
peejman replied to Spots's topic in Training Discussions
There's always gonna be somebody better. That's just how it is. Befriend or avoid, those are the only options. -
That's awesome. I want an AK pistol.

So they were riding like douches and the officer succeeded at being a dick. I figured as much. It would at least keep from being directly sprayed in the eyes. Some mist would certainly get in your face, but hopefully wouldn't be so debilitating as to make you unable to operate the bike. If I'd been sprayed, I'd file assault charges. Same as the douches who like to "roll coal" in their "I'm compensating for something" trucks.
-
Odd. Add this to the list of reasons why I wear a full face helmet. If the cop didn't feel safe stopping on the side of the interstate, why didn't he direct the truck to proceed to the nearest exit? The bikes weren't that close nor do they appear to be going particularly fast.

What he said. Welcome to the joys of TN hunting/fishing licenses. The easiest (and most expensive) solution is to get the Sportsmans license. But if you don't want to spend that much, the small game / fishing combo is the best route for now. From there you can add the big game gun, muzzleloader, archery, water fowl, trout, WMA, ....

I try the flip it in the air thing. Sometimes I catch it, sometimes not. When I miss, I pick it up.

I read another article that said Jared's in solitary for his own safety. He gets out of his cell 1 hr/day and during that time they screwed up with the gates between areas that allowed the other inmate a shot at him. The inmate that beat him up had to be pulled off him and said afterward that whatever they do to punish me doesn't matter, it was worth it, and there's 100 other guys itching for the chance to do the same thing. Apparently they transferred Jared to another prison, again for his own safety, and didn't publish where he was for security reasons, which apparently is a violation of a freedom of information act.
-
Seems to be luck of the draw. If you get a good one, it'll be fine long after the kid outgrows it. If you get a bad one.... Stuff I've read suggests their quality is much better than it used to be, so I'd opt for a new one over one several years old unless you know the seller and trust that it was trouble free.

As far as weapons go, form follows function. If it works beautifully, it's beautiful. During the original design of the F-117, they called it the "Hopeless Diamond" because the idea of making that shape fly was hopeless. When the aerodynamicist saw how well the stealth technology worked, he said "I'll make it fly."
