That would have been the smart play. Instead I'm getting the truck inspection done; tomorrow I'll still go to the range. I moved my ticket to April.
I picked up a revolver after work, too, so that's some consolation.

You really need to see a Eye Dr who understands shooters needs. Im not up on what the numbers mean. Arms length in everything is blurred. i need +1.50 for work and reading.
Shooting. The rear notch and front post dont come into focus with out help. I use from +.25 to +.75 depending on target distance.
At 600 if i use +.75 i get a little seasick/headache feeling trying to see down range. The bull is getting harder to see all together.
I use Dr. Ginsberg of Natick Eye Associates. Hes here on nes and a shooter.

I'm sorry we had to do that. We stretch to every possible extreme to make sure events go through as planned. But the situation here was unavoidable.
Whichever one we do next will be my first in NH. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.
Question for all y' all who have women in your family - What would be your womenfolks' interest in a Ladyseed?

You could mock up a length of rod and glue a .050-075" wide " post" on front and your best to do a rear aperture make it the distance between sights as same as or average of your rifles. Bring it with you and explain (if he does not shoot ) with your props what your trying to do.
You and Dr need to find a balance. Between focus on the front sights and seeing well enough down range. He should be placing corrective test lens inbetween your eye and apperture ?

Who's running the show up here in NH these days? I have been out of the loop for so long I am not sure I even know anyone anymore, but I have a 4 year old who loves her fancy 10/22, so I am be looking at digging out my patched up coat and coming back around.

Idk who runs NH but the only event scheduled is sold out.
Pelham, NH Appleseed April 27-28, 2019 – Project Appleseed
I requested NH contact info, let's see if anyone responds.
Based on his replies in this thread, I thought it was Firemanbob.
I'll be at the April Pelham event; I bumped my registration from the canceled Winterseed.
I'll be there with my sons. I've never been to the club and have no idea where we are supposed to meet up.
You'll want to go in the main gate (there's two parts of the club, one has the utility range and indoor pistol range and cannot access the rest of the club, it has a separate entrance off of the public street).
From the main entrance (I assume someone will be there to let in people that don't have the code), if you keep driving, you'll pass the archery field and trap on your left, and you'll come to the main clubhouse with a parking lot. If you bear right, onto the dirt road, you'll reach the pistol action bays and then then action ranges.
I'm assuming we'll be going to the action range since that's what's listed on the online calendar, but I didn't know if things would start at the clubhouse for paperwork or whatever (this is my first Appleseed).
Calendar says 8:00, my registration email says 8:30, but to arrive a little early.
Looks like there's 2 slots open, someone must've canceled.

Good time. Twice I had 12/13 on the road coats, missed one at 300 (but hit 400 and the shingle) both times.
Elbows raw (padding shooting jacket would have helped), back sore; but I learned a lot and enjoyed it.

I was in the bay to your left this morning.
Nothing as enjoyable as a volley of fire at the beginning of a string

From what I hear so far, this weekend's shoot seems to have gone well. I wanted to be there but had to be at work both days. The wife was there to instruct on Saturday. Congratulations to the new Riflemen!
We are working on getting more events scheduled for this year, at various venues. I'm meeting with someone at a new-to-AS club this week.
A shortage of instructors has been an obstacle. I understand that three new Orange Hats stepped up on Saturday - many thanks and I look forward to working with you.
