Vectracide

So, by the jist of the replies, it looks like there isn't much of a benefit for me for where I'm currently at. Perhaps, its more of a liability with the potenital tension knots and attention to stowing needed. I'll stick with Vectran. Besides, its my call here anyways..,. Thanks. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

I am not that far from a lineset change and I am considering using a HMA set. Can a guy get a HMA lineset for a Crossfire 2 or a Katana? Other than the fact that they last longer than Vectran and present less wind resistance, whats the other benefits? Edit to add: After posting I did a search.........and found that it has been done. I guess my question should be now...is it worth it for the Katana that will be a competiton canopy? Or even the Xfire2 for shits and giggles? ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

Smart 120 at 1.55 One low speed ride from line twist cutaway. Still spinning when dumped reserve and perfect heading opening. Flew great. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

Buwahahahah....funny as hell dude. Good for you! On a side note, you will not be recieving your 4 month coin now. Good idea is to either hold onto your gear, or sell it and hold onto the money in a coffee jar for the next year or so.....that way you'll have it for NEW gear! WHEEEE!!!!!!! ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

Hey, just a thought.....doesn't Lodi have alot cheaper jump prices in bulk like that? And its alot closer to me. Dont you jump in the Pacific NW? ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

Whoops! Did that hurt the rifling lans? When I reload for my 7mm-08, I usually press the bullet just 2 thousands off the lans. I loaded a box one day and headed for the range. I was loading to cross the 3k fps barrier, and after the first round, I knew someting was wrong. I pulled the fired shell out and boy howdy, did I have some serious primer flow. It actually transferred the machining marks from the back of the bolt to the face of the shell case, erasing all the factory stampings. Needless to say, i stopped shooting and rechecked everything. The bullets were not seated all the way for some reason. I didn't check the setting before seating, as I didn't every change that. I should have, as the increased load mixed with that oops coulda killed my gun. I did however load a round that did cross the 3k mark, but it lost its accuracy. I actually blew up a couple of those ballistic tip 120 Varmit bullets with the really thin jacket and soft core. It was like little holes all over the target. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

Yeah, i don't tout to know much about those 2 guns. I showed them to a shop owner that had a firing pin for one of them, and he told me the calibers. Glad i didn't try to shoot it. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

***so besides HS who else have they invested in? I mean I know that NHL contract was a much better bet then XM and their crazy MLB and college sports packages*** You said it.....sports packages sell shitloads.....as gay as it may seem. *** That is not what I said. XM was first. ***but they still have 3 million plus subscribers vs sirius's like 300,000... I think they said they needed some 1.5 million new customer in the next 5 years to cover HS contract.. u can bet XM will own sirius unless HS REALLY boosts their sales*** Dude, I dont know where you get your info, but perhaps you need a new source. You have some things backwards. According to insiderwatch.com Sirius has just passed the 3 million subscriber mark. JP Morgan has it listed at 2.2 million in Sept. That's 800,000 subscriptions in just 4 months. I'd say HS has some serious pull, like him or not. The CEO is projecting 6 million subs by the end of 2006. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

ROFLMAO.....its been along time since I read/heard that. CS is evil. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

Well, yeah.....water can be hard if ya hit it hard enough. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

The only reason that XM has more subscribers is because they were the first sat. radio company. It has been in business longer. That, by no means makes it a better company. If we were to apply your model, that would make AOL the best internet ISP. Yeah, not so true. The fact that you have not been able to get recievers for Sirius very readily lately, is proof how many people are buying the service, and perhaps that is because HS is joining Sirius. You and I share the same opinion of HS, but its just that, only an opinion of ours. The truth is that he is the biggest shock jock of all time, and makes his advertisers millions and millions. Sirius also comes with an internet subscription. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

You are doing it the hard way. You just put the camcorder upside down on the table when you are watching it. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

Good goin ding dong. At least the dirt out there can be soft and fluffy....well at least the top inch or 2. Be glad you didn't hit one of those bushes that are like wrought iron. beer and narcotics kick ass..... ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

Wow, that is cool. Definitely a good attribute for private pilots, but I dont really see the application for vehicles. That would be perfect for ultralights. Weather and tunes. Cool. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

I have never known anyone that had that done to them. I am curious, what if at any time did you feel different? What do you remember if anything? Did your boyfriend say you did anything out of the ordinary, like be uninhibited or more talkative, or is it the opposite. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

Kallend, Not that I know of. I do not believe that either XM, or SIRIUS offers any visual displays of weather. Perhaps the satellite they broadcast from is a shared sat. I would find it hard to believe that the company would have the capitol to build and launch its privately owned sat. But then again, private companies are launching sat's for pennies compared to the big government firms. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

Well whooopideeeedooooooo....skye Kim, Yeah, I've got some big goals myself. Go back to taking docks in a sit with formations, and the CPC. I think I will be busy. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

Billy, if you read my previous post, you will see where my allegiance is. But I will describe further why. Both companies have sattelites that are in the same orbit as far as latitude goes. Sirius has 3 satelites, and XM only has 2. So being where we are in the US, the furthest northern state besides Maine, we benefit from the extra coverage of the 3rd satellite that Sirius has. Other than that, you have read about XM's customer service already on this thread. Sounds pretty crappy. XM has not been picking up all the big names in broadcasting like Sirius has. That means more money and security to Sirius's company. XM used to be the leader, only because they were the first. Not anymore. I predict XM's fall from grace, no pun intended with thier last sat. falling into the Atlantic Ocean. Hows that? ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

You can solve all your problems by using a Sirius Sat radio instead. More satellites (XM's 3rd sat. fell into the Atlantic ocean), better CS, more selection and i just activated 2 radio's last night. Both work great. If you can cancel your subscription, I would. But then again, I'm biased with years of Sirius service. Check out their website and get a free 3 day preview of what they offer. You can listen to all the channels on the net. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

Ok, since no one can ID me, profile at least, here it goes: Rifles: Browning 30'06 Limited Edition Safari Mauser with a Beulher Action (factory restored pro bono due to its heritage) Don't shoot it much cause its worth more than all my other guns put together. Remington 700 7mm-08 wildcat cartriage bull barrel. Cryo and fluted barrel with a Leopold Vari X-III Scope (coyotes dont stand a chance) Winchester 25-35 Lever action (the quintisential coyboy gun, low 5 serial #) Model 98 8mm German Sniper (has the nazi stamps on it, showing that when the Nazi's invaded the country of origin, they enslaved the workers and forced them to continue making the weapon for the German Army) Grandfather handmedown. Freaks me to think of how many allies this gun has killed. Part of ugly history. Springfield 30'06. Yeah that big ugly one with wood all the way to the muzzle. Dime a dozen. 2 Arasaka's Japanese bolt action rifles from WWII. One the infantry issue 7.62 x 54 and the other the paratrooper model 7.62 x 39 (much shorter) Very beat up. Grandfather hand me down again, and he hated the guns so much (product of the WWII Pearl Harbor attack) that he let the sit out in his shop in the ambient air. They got pretty wrecked, but I managed to restore the infantry model, but have yet to shoot it. New England Firearms 45-70 Handi-rifle. Single shot break open cheapo gun. But fun as hell to blast the ever livin hell outta stuff. Too bad the rounds are like 2 bucks a piece. Savage .22 plinker. Geeze this gun has seen some serious kid abuse. It was my first rifle and I have probably put over 100k rounds thru it. Its so worn out that every once in a while it will double or 3 round burst on its own. Heh, safety switch fell off about 10 years ago. 22. air rifle. Shotguns: 2 Browning BPS 12 guages. Duck hunting guns. One for me and one for anyone that wants to visit me and go shoot some dinner. 20 guage no name single shot. No idea who makes it, but I refinished the stock due to it being almost black with finish. To my surprise, their was English walnut beneath. Its quite pretty now. It resides at my moms house and has accounted for many moles. One day I will own a very nice O/U. Pistols: Sig Sauer P229 .40 My first pistol. Fits my hand nicely and is made by the Germans, so you know it is made right. For Sale. CZ Pistole Modell 27 Kal. 7.65 This was another one of the weapons that the Germans took possession of when invading Chek. It was taken off a dead German Officer in WWII by my grandfather when he was out of ammo. That pistol saved his life. And finally, my latest pride and joy that I am currently shooting IPSC with is the CZ Standard IPSC .40 competition race gun. This has got to be one of the prettiest, smoothest shooting gun I have ever beheld. Its large and has a 6" barrel with a full dust cover. Its extremely fast and has almost no barrel rise. This is one of those guns that does make you a better shooter. No kidding, in the classifier rounds, you have to shoot 3 targets, 2 shots each. They ususally have a no shoot hostage covering most of them and I can hit the "A" zone in all targets in less than 3 seconds. Its fun as hell. If anyone has a pistol and would like to shoot in a very controlled, safe atmosphere, and have the opportunity to shoot it in situations that will never find in real life unless you are actually fighting for your life, PM me and I will send you info on an IPSC club in your area. Disclaimer: No, I'm not a redneck gun toting freak. I had the opportunity to grow up hunting with my father and grandfather, so the natural expectation is that I would continue the tradition, as I have. I feel fortunate to have inherited pieces of history, as evil as what they stand for in some cases. This by no means makes me dangerous, as much as states like CA and NY would like you to think. Owning a gun or any weapon for that matter is a huge responsibility not to be taken lightly. I am reguarly appaled at the carelessness that people take with guns. The truth is, is that you only hear about the idiots that own them, and unfortunately there are too many of them. Sorry for so long. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....
