will be nice to be in a hardtop jeep with full doors, good heat, and no soft top draft...

Great shots and narrative about Molokai David!

Access to the leper colony has not been open to the public since the pandemic, I'm hoping it opens and we can go see that area in a month or so!

I started learning to shoot after Christmas. I'm doing what they call "instinctive" right now, no sight or anything (gap, stringwalking, etc...) just pointing and thinking "I want to hit the bullseye."

I'm only shooting from about 12 yds. Once I improve and get more consistent, I'll move back to 15 and eventually 20yds.

I've been shooting "split" (one finger above the arrow on the string, and 2 below the arrow) which is what felt the most natural.
Between cold and/or rainy weather and a cold, I ended up taking off 2 weeks. When I got back to it, I was shooting better than ever.

For this one, I switched to "three under" so all three fingers are under the arrow. The arrows didn't go where I wanted, but that's to be expected. Changing your fingers on the strings changes where the arrows go (should only be up/down). But I was very happy with the grouping.

While ^that day^ (first day back after the break) was mostly very good, it was also a bit of a fluke.

I'm switching to 3 under because I like some aspects of it better. It's tough going from shooting reasonably well to shooting much worse and trying to get into a new groove.

From today, not bad. I'm seeing consistent improvement after switching to 3 under.

Yep, I I felt the same way and a couple of my musicians and friends keep telling me how great their brisket is, problem is, if I am out that far, it is only about 15 minutes, if I take the back way home, to Woodpeckers BBQ and that is some really good BBQ. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1676257928.jpg

Spectacular!

I know folks that say that if they pass one, they have to stop. I don't get it. I have been inside once. Nothing that I got there was so amazing that I feel the need to go back. I guess if the choice was a regular gas station with a bag of chips and a candy bar or Buc-EEs I might stop at Buc-EEs. But I'm certainly not going to go out of my way to stop at one and would have to be really hungry to go inside.

I've heard local folks rave about the fact that you can get ethanol-free gas there.

Hmm, 93octane with ethanol for $3/gal or 91octane ethanol free gas for $3.75 or $4 a gallon. Again, I don't see the point.

I'd take this sort of shooting all day long. 1.5" group except for the flyer. It would be relatively easy to move the group to the bullseye.

Not technically bad. I did just change from split finger to 3 under, and that's caused a hit on my accuracy/grouping. But in the long run, I think it'll be an improvement.

I stopped at the local convenience store to get some beer, and when I came out this great looking 67 SS396 was next to my El Camino. His 396 is long gone, and replaced with a 454 and with a mild cam, and fuel injection.

We chatted for 10 minutes.

Your Elky is cool with a lot of that being due to its/your history. His is far, far cooler.

Cooler
