Fleabay 8.50$ to the door.Willner brand,assuming it has battery's?

It's going to be used as a training tool for my dry fire rifle practice.Comes with an earbud but functions without as well.

One thousand one........one thousand two....
Beep.

One thousand one........one thousand two....
Beep.

That's an aimed dryfire every 3 seconds.The metro gnome is working because;Trying to get 20 shots/bolt cycles a minute,is hard.It forces you to stay on pace.

I can do 20,quality reps and that's it,haha.It is getting easier.The instrument can be set so that it "tocks" at my heart beat rate which is good @56-58 per minute.The "beep" is also adj.Running 20 reps without lowering my rig sees about a 6? beat/minute increase in pulse.Which it also reinforces,gotta work the doo doo out of the bolt at the same time you're trying to calm out.

The aiming part,interestingly is the easy part because I was dry firing so much before being on the clock.I've read that 25 shots a minute was the WWI/II std for British infantry....or something like that.20,with practice and I'll say anyone reading this could keep'm in a coke can @50 at 20 per minute....with CB's,moderate recoil(7-08),maybe lose a bit of time on recharging mag?

Yeah, I knew what it was. It has been a couple of days since I was in band.
Anyone interested in a couple of trombones?

No. Last time I held a trombone I was marching the theme from Hawaii Five-0 at halftime, only time I ever played it. Now if you had a nice Buescher tenor sax we might talk.

You know,have seen it on the enterweeb that some folks have "issues" with 700 bolt checkering....."it hurts my fingers" or some such?

Well,yeah if you got baby skin....like playing a guitar,you got to toughen them fingers up.Run 20 reps a minute against a gnome,and practice a cpl times a day....shoot,bolt checkering ain't even on the radar.

The last time I picked up "my" tenor sax was about 5/1/84 ....not much need for a Sr to perfect Pomp and Recession .
Marching band was good times . I hated parades , but the games and field performances were fun .

Borra High Shool from Borra Id wrecked everyone present at the UNR Homecoming highschool field trials , a jaw dropper performance . 200+ in the band and 160+ color guard made it pretty impressive ...... We were 86 , no flags , but we had an amazing bass line ! It was the only award that Bora didn't get .
Yep good times !
We were all AA school my sophomore year AAA my Jr and AAAA my Sr . The band got smaller each yr . Funny all that and not many life friends out of it .

Wifey calls my EDC 700,7-08 a "Zom..." gun.

Where the freakin heck she picked that up,I'd really like to know?The woman is so adverse to anything louder than a ripped fart,it ain't funny.The only reason I get "away with" buying equipment is that she's terrified to even get close to our shop?Drop a pce of lumber on the floor and she's running for cover?

So,somewhere in her travels she hears about the "Z" word,WRT to certain firearms.

ITS, they need tacticool operator gloves, the pink ones. I think the Brits were using the .303 and boy do those little rifles cycle FAST.

One of my dearest "strays"...boys.He and his younger bros lived here for 6 months or so whilst their dumba.. parents go through a nasty big D.

So anyway,the local HS is dbl AA or sumthin.I'm pumping his foosball game up while he's here.He's a starter lineman...I think that's the position?Wonderful relationship during his tenure here.A year goes by,finally gets hooked back up with his "new" family in Chicago.Try's out for the foosball team there,badaboom...little chit becomes a starter....at a six A school.

Probably due to us warping his brains,shooting bows and guns?He's now a police officer.He comes and visits us several times a year.

Ian,that notion sails right over my head.Yeah I know folks are into the Z thing but....

Imagine some 60 y.o. goober redneck,and someone starts talking this or that "fad"?What can I say?"Uuuuh,yeah that's pretty neat".
