I had CMT lenses at one point and found they worked great in very very bright conditions with some back rounds. South Texas with green grass and no trees they were great but add in some clouds or trees mixed with dead grass and I did not like them. I went to a medium orange color for everything...

I am glad I found MacWet Winter gloves. They are the best option when it is colder.

Okay here we are  psca.com  go to the "watch" page season one episode 3 Cory Kruse is shooting and Dan Carlisle Talks about it at 25:25.  My best guess it serves the same purpose as the "waggle" in golf. 

I saw this on our PSCA TV broadcast in the first season and Dan Carlisle explained it was to keep the front hand loose and nimble rather than clamping down into a death grip. At least that is what I think I remember I will try to find a video clip. 

 In all fairness I think that it is important to note I have seen a few K80s double repeatedly and need work. I had a SxS Merkel that doubled and after a few visits back they determined it was my fault. So it is not just the MX8 that have this quirk, I was told that the Mx12 and therefore the...

I have shot a Kolar for the last 4 years, a Max not a Max light but I weighed 8 lb. 12oz. I between the hands it is a lovely thing, feels a lot like a Perazzi. Any comparisons to a K80 should stop at the barrel hanger. The action owes a little to the Bifurcated lump guns but also has big locking...

can Norte Americanos enter? 

Thanks for all the input this is a very good start. I now wish I took better advantage when English coaches like Ben H and Nutbeam came to Houston. That would have been less elaborate! 

At this juncture we are just trying to get an idea of where to go and whom to consider. I have found that, for me, the secret to a relaxing vacation is to do you homework, do not over commit yourself so as to have time to savor the experiences that you were looking forward to, and to leave time...

The competitions are a secondary concern really. Over here if it is a week or even a month or two before the Nationals, or the Open any big competition any Coach that you want to take a lesson with is booked. So realistically we could be there for two weeks at the most. I would rather take a...

A friend and I were talking about taking a trip from the U.S. to the UK to visit shooting grounds and taking one or two lessons while there.  So I realize that I am opening the discussion to the standard ration of p#$$ taking/anti-yank sentiment that accompanies any U.S./U.K shooting discussion...

For that kind of prize I think that all the targets should count. I saw a state shoot where there was "final" on Saturday afternoon (while the shooting went into Sunday) to increase viewers, and one shooter won the final and one broke more targets, I thought it was BS, frankly. A good example is...

I know that Team USA does lots of fundraising with raffles e.g. carts (because we are fat americans who cannot calculate odds, myself included) guns (because we are gun nuts) and entries into big shoots like the US Open or our Nationals (because we like to shoot s#*t). Also some, not everyone...

Okay that's, it I am done with Dubai Sports 

I have seen them first hand and I have to agree that they are good if if you need to know where a weighted wad ends up. Buy 2 extra boxes of shells and shoot those. Or invest in coaching,  good coaching.  Orange or Black wad makes no difference.
