Oh yeah? Well, I should be retired, with a place in the mountains and a place on the coast!

RIO7, That's some mighty fine shooting! Oh yeah? Well, I should be retired, with a place in the mountains and a place on the coast! You are the winner! I am retired but live in a studio apartment I built. It is a whopping 360 square feet. But it's in the flat land near I-5 freeway. And when I go to the coast I have to pay someone who has a boat. I guess one out of three is not a total looser.

Rare for these parts, just not the terrain or farm size for it around here. Friend of a friend bought an adjoining farm & tore out some fences. The wind was a bit crazy for rookies, 15-25 & switching, but we were able to connect on 1/2 size IPSC targets @1000. Fun, lots o fun.

Not at all Ringman, but you're looking at it all wrong. We're not talking about the world as it really is, we're talking about the world as it should be, according to each of our individual preferences. I'm sure in that world you'd have not only a place on the coast but your own seaworthy vessel, a captain to drive it, and a first mate to cut bait. But if you had all that, sure as tomorrow someone would come along and say "that's not really fishing, to be a real fisherman you have to drive your own boat and cut your own bait. Because that's how I do it."

Awesome, just awesome shooting! Those A-tips seem to be worth their price.
I totally admire your shooting range. No, I'm jealous as hell of your shooting range. Love it.

"should" is a useless word used to describe the world bein a way that you would like it to be - but it ain't that way.
