Thank you for changing your type face, it was good of you to do so. The reason more or less for my asking was that even though the only thing I can do with a long gun is stand around holding it. I used to reload but never long gun ammo, only side arm. I have always wondered about Long guns and shooting and have read up here and there about them and and how to use them and watch the Shooting Teams,
My problem is that for a couple reasons I was never anywhere that had someone I could learn to shot with, and even though I love to read, when it come to technical reading I pretty much never understand a thing they say. But I am very very good at learning hands on. No one to teach me hands on so I still feel like a kid when folks start talking Angles of degree, Minute of Angle, I do get the shoot high to hit where you want from distance, and and I sort of learn thing by having read them and when some was talking about it later on I put the pieces together, I still Really have no idea the Mechanics or how scopes and rifle word, but they do fascinate me.
I digress, I asked about a chronograph because I have one I use to test various mass produced Side arm ammunition in my CZ's. Sort of a extended test to see what ammo works best out of each type/model of Pistol and post it here. However, it's been some months since I have been to the range for anything. I think I mentined I don't see so well out of my right eye, on the 17th I'll have an Operation that will implant a permanent contact in the eye after they remove the cataract. Which mean that my Chronograph is sitting in its case collection a lot of dust and will continue to do so for at least a moth or two longer, Depends on when the Doc says I get to lean over and or pick stuff up. You have been very good to share your research with us an since you live close enough to me that it won't be prohibitive to ship, I will be more than happy to loan you my Chronograph for the next two or 3 months if you would like to use it, That way you won't have to depend on anyone to borrow theirs from and simply go to the range on your schedule instead of someone else's.
Granted it will only be for a couple or 3 months, but you are sharing with us what I'm going to guess is some more than average out of pocket expenses, and then telling us how it went. If I can help you and say thank you at the same time then I see no reason not to offer you my chronograph. Not that I still will ever understand most of what you do, I think more than a couple members here will or do, and this forum is for and about the Members, not any one person, Not about ego's and do as I say. It's a place where I wanted to learn new things and sometimes teach things to and with others. I am doing what I can to help folks, especially newcomers to our sport, find what they need in one place as much as possible. Which is why this forum is set up the way it is. People still need to do their own research but here they can at least have a reference point from which to start.
So, though I as always, I managed to phrase my question poorly, (Honest no matter how hard I try to be nice about things, I still mange to upset most people without ever trying) that's why I asked. If you would like the use of the thing then just PM me and we can swap information, and I can get the Chrono to you. Hey if you want you can also be our first victum ummm I mean Guest test subject so we can try out our Moderated chat room and folks can ask you questions about what you have posted. And the question will have to go through the Moderator to decide if the question even makes it to you. But that part is up to you and has nothing to do with my offer. Besides you think you guys up there have problems with wild hogs and boars, pop down here to Orlando sometime. We have a standing bounty on them and no season, but I do think you need some sort of special License that's how bad it is here. I know at least one company runs back to back 24/7 (yep Day and Night Hunts using night vision and suppressors for the night hunts) $500.00 a person guaranteed hog.)
