@JonKramer yea point sources of light or small bright things can usually show it easily... if your eyes are night adjusted you will often see it when looking at your monitor if you look closely. I have stigmatism and only notice it once in a while.
@JonKramer yes a stigmatism is where your lens is deformed in an oval, rather than round, shape. It causes double vision (though you may not always notice you have double vision)
@LouisIngenthron Oh you are supposed to use solvent? Ok that was my problem then!
@JonKramer I have to wear prescription glasses. I certainly wouldnt be able to see the target well enough otherwise.
@LouisIngenthron At the moment I only have the cleaning kit for my AR-15, which i never could figure out how to use (it was very hard pushing the brush in and would get stuck)... but im ready to buy a cleaning kit now for the handguns
@JonKramer I did watch it... after hitting 7 out of 24 shots at 50 yards I cant imagine how its even possible to hit a target at 1000 yards in only 2 shots...
@LouisIngenthron I need to learn how to properly maintain this thing before i do much more shooting...
@JonKramer Being better with a pistol than someone with a rifle is saying a lot :)
Im not sure how the Baretta is performing in terms of accuracy, but I did get 2 jams out of about 350 rounds or so...
@JonKramer I shot at 50 yards earlier today too... hit about 7 out of 24 rounds at that distance.
@JonKramer Good to know! I was worried it was a poor job but people are telling me its not bad.
@freemo , trust me when I say that for 20 yards, you did far better than many, and probably most. I know for a fact you just shot better than my kid, who is a cop. :)
@lucifargundam I'd be down for that... but honestly most companies cant afford me. I tend to operate as a specialty short-term consultant... expensive, but I fix the hard shit.
That said I may be starting a new company soon, if so we may hire in the forseeable future.
@lucifargundam RUN!!!
@JonKramer Im too new at shooting to really have a strong opinion. All I know is I asked two very expiernced shooters (one of them being hte owner of the range) and they all said something between 7 and 15 yards. When I told them i shot at 20yards they pointed out thats farther than most people shoot handguns.
@freemo , wanna see where you can go from there? :)
@icedquinn If the broad side of a barn happens to mug me it will be damn sorry!
@JonKramer most people shoot handguns somewqhere between 7 yards and 15 yards, so 20 yards is already quite far for a pistol from what I'm told.
@AmpBenzScientist I was using a scope, standing without any tripod (though my gun does have a bipod on it, I wasnt using it)
