Trent, first off excellent job!
Thank you!
Second: I hope you will forgive my curiosity but I am in an area where guys usually carry their wallets in their hip pocket of their "working" hand. With the method of carry you were using do you ever have problems pulling out your wallet and revealing your weapon?
No, when I reach for my wallet the shirt bunches under the grip. I tend to wear baggy shirts (casual dress code at work). That NRA shirt was printing pretty good. Since the material is a bit stretchy, and it's only a large, it's tighter than I usually like to wear when carrying. (I usually wear XL).
It's *real* comfortable to wear in the hollow of the hip while standing or sitting. Just get the slide right behind the hipbone. It only digs in when I kick back in the recliner at night, but that's my cue to take it off and put it in the windowsill next to me.
Item last: I sent the youtube address to my Dad knowing he would enjoy it. Word of warning though, Dad often visits Moline (IL) and usually goes on 24 to I-75. If a guy with a prosthetic leg from Indiana shows up don't let him argue about the range fees and don't let him talk you into a 50 yard shooting match for said fees left handed "just to make it 'fair.'"
LOL I've learned when an old guy challenges a young guy to a shooting match, to say yes, BUT, only to watch, and learn (keep the money in the wallet!)
There's a LOT of "60-to-70-somethings" out there who spent a LOT of time shooting Bullseye matches (one handed), who still know how to handle a piece of iron just fine. I know my limits on accuracy, and I know there are PLENTY of guys out there who are better marksmen.
Very cool; must be neat to actually see a project like this come to fruition, even if you aren't the one doing the editing. Not a bad audition at all (you do plan on parlaying this into a TV crime drama at some point, don't you?).
Well, I've done martial arts for 30 years now (taught for 22 of that), so you might be on to something. It'd sure be fun to have a change of pace from the network engineer/programming gig.
I think when I retire from the IT world I'll start doing teaching full time. I enjoy the instructor side job, more than what I do now. I mean, what other job lets you teach people how to shoot bad guys, plus gets you on the range all the time? (OK, I can think of a few.. drill sergeant.... etc, but I"m too old to enlist.)
I have to say; right now I'm outside in Texas, 95 degree heat, and I shivered when I saw those artic adventure pictures at the top of the page!
EDIT: Hit the wrong pics last night; here's the ones.
Finger numbing pulling those out of the snow. But I can't let THOSE cases go to waste.
Long walk to the targets when the truck can't make it through the snow.
