    i did one or two with mine, a 170^2, the openings were "clear and pulls" with no more than a 3 second delay, this eliminated the "2 stage opening" but i had line twists each time. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    i was in saudi arabia the day we attacked baghdad on the 17th. i predicted more terrorrists strikes, here and abroad, but everybody told me i was full of it. the next few weeks and months will be interesting at best. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    LOL! no, i'm not suggesting that at all. this is about muslim/arab hatred for westerner's...period. remember Al-Khobar towers 11 years ago? no, i believe it is al-queda sponsored as well. funny thing with saudi arabia being osama-bin-laden's homeland, would the sob really stretch this far to retaliate? i remember back pre-gulf war (Bush Sr. Era) osama-bin-ladin proclaimed that if saudia arabia allowed the americans into the country, they would never leave by themselves. now, with the military retraction of our troops and equipment we have retaliation on ordinary american citizens living in the country. these people are loaded. an sha allah i guess? --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    long before the ATF starts this type of campaign ie: coming to your house and seizeing your weapons, my guess is they will go for the "big tunas" first. in the state of texas it is illegal to be in possession of, or to buy/sell hang grenades without the proper liscensing. funny thing is, you can go to the local army surplus stores and buy all of the components to build as many as you want, and that's legal. is it me, or is something wrong here? for a sportsman to have his personal weapons, no matter what type they are i say what the heck? i think it's the fear of some that these weapons are being stolen and utilized in crimes that scares them. you cannot control the actions of a non law abiding citizen until you bust them. but how much can they get done before you catch them? next thing you know, we'll be patrolling our jet fuel tanks, and fertilizer plants? paranoia costs a ton of money. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    the whole key to whether they come or not depends on a lot of things. on another note, will you know before they come? that depends on who you are, and who you know. personally, i'm not going to alter my lifestyle for fear of invasion at the ATF's behest. more than likely if your in good standing in your community, and a law abiding citizen, you need not worry, they're worried about folks they know are in possession of a mile long rap sheet and a closet full of H-Bar Match Sporters with "HellFires" on them. agreed. but nonetheless, there are some individuals that will go down with this mentality, i've met some folks that trapse through the woods dressed up in full battle gear practicing war games, i quit hanging around these individuals when they started this nonsensical behaviour. gunrange, fine, training for the onslaught of the ATF....no thanks. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    that logic is not only flawed, it's plumb fu*ked up. but he's from the UK. take a hang gun course and obtain your CCL and buying a handgun is no problem at all. yeah, the theiving MF's steal our's from our cars and houses. exactly. this is where the whole concept is really FU. criminals could care less about gettin' busted, honest citizens truely do care about their reputations and freedom. a criminal may think twice before comitting a crime with a handgun in an environment where he/she may not be sure who is/is not "heeled" simply because they don't want to get a cap busted off in that ass. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    ain't that a trip? anyone who want's to declare to be an american should have no problem with others who are americans exercising their rights as americans, or what do we really stand for? i'm against drugs, and legalizing them, BUT if they were ever legalized, i still wouldn't do them, that said i wouldn't think any less of someone who chose to exercise their rights under the laws, whether it be politics, religion, drugs or guns. i'm certainly not going to lists my weapons here, but if my house caught on fire, i wouldn't go near the scene for at least 2 weeks, or a good rain. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    if your not heeled, you need to get heeled. it may save your life one day, or provide you assisstance in saving someone else's life. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    well, we still have that constitutional right to deal with. any such action by any entity would be unconstitutional. i agree with your theory, and i also agree with the strategy you seem to think they will employ. but they will never pull it off. the gov't can't fight but so many battles at once. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    what's "funny" about it? i was making reference to the unlikely event that they would be foolish enough to go door to door and dissarm each and every gunowner, i can think of about 500 redknecks where i live who won't go for it. some groups in this area are training for just this type of scenario. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    this was not a "blanket statement" i merely said the primaries had broken various laws, i DID NOT say i agreed with the FBI/ATF/CIA's actions, in fact, i think their actions were hurendous, foolish and unlawful. in the waco situation, the ATF knew in advance that the Branch Davidians were aware of their arrival, and they also knew one of the UCA's was known by David Koresh, when they continued down that road that fateful day, they had to know they were fixing to get that ass shot off, they knowingly carried 9 mm's into a .223 semi automatic fight...foolish is an understatement. ruby ridge, much the same scenario, different actors, i agree the primary broke the law, i don't agree with the ensuing tenacious onslaught that followed. should the gov't ever intend to enforce any orders to dissarm americans it will most certainly lead to many bloody battles, there's more of us than there is of them, and they know it. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    if we allow the gov't to oulaw guns, only outlaws will have guns. this will pass, don't worry, we've been here before. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    in both of these cases, the "primaries" broke various laws. they deserved to be dissarmed. if you a law abiding citizen, even if the order does come to visit your house and collect your arms, it more than likely won't happen. the "good ol' boy" system still exists in some parts of the world. i'm not afraid to disclose, display or use the arms that i have, the gov't is well aware of all of my weapons, i'm also in possession of a CCL, this is just not a big deal, unless of course you've a mind to be paranoid. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    my guess is line dump. i'm assuming you packed it the same way you always have been. our rubber bands, tube stows are the most overlooked item on our d-bags, we only replace them when they break, at least this has been my observation. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    i didn't vote because the scenario i think will happen isn't there, the gov't isn't planning on now, or ever to come and dissarm law abiding americans. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    what does the container manufacturer reccomend? i'd be inclined to go along with their reccomendation. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    have you entertained the option of obtaing some shorter risers? i don't know what your utilizing, but i'm assuming they are 18" risers, assumation, nothing else, if this is the case, get a new set of risers. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    Rob: i know this is a stupid question, but your brake lines are the prorer length...right? i like the 180 snap, double front approach, since that is what i learned from the beginning. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    pillow cut-away handle, and steel reserve deployment handle. the main reason for this (for me anyway) is because when i cutaway and deploy reserve (no RSL) is because i use my left thumb and hand to pull the reserve deployment handle. this gives me some mental comfort that i will be able to pull the SOAB in case i need it. it's worked so far! --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    he should have been flying a canopy that provided a 1.0:1 wingload, this surely would've prevented the whole scenario. hope your friend heals quickly. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"
