Interest in a reloading class/workshop?

Recommended Posts

This is a great idea. Learning in person from those who are experienced

would chop the learning curve down 100%. I learned off youtube videos

and Google fu. I did have a friend of mine via forum who helped me a lot

and that was the most help of all. But still, it's hard to learn just by

e-mail and not being able to see or visually explain.

 

If someone had just explained it to me in person with the press I would have

learned in one day what took me several weeks and several wasted bullets, primers,

powders, and hair lost from stress!

 

Here's what happens when you learn on your own and don't have a clue (yes these are mine):

Zoid, mind if I use that picture?

 

Go ahead. I'm sure the community needs a what NOT to do picture, LOL!

 

Zoid needs to go to that workshop ASAP! ell oh ell

 

Yeah, I would not mind learning even more. I pick up bits and pieces

via forums, range members, reading, etc. It all helps. But when someone

shows you in person or answers a question in person it makes things

1 million times easier to understand.

 

For the record my rounds don't look like that now. I'd have blown all

my handguns/hands up. Haha.

I hear ya. Just last week I had to stop shooting USPSA because I had some messed up loads. Approx a half charge in some. Couldn't figure out why. Turns out a screw was loose on my powder measure. I also had about 10 squibs in my first 1000 rounds.

 

 

That's why I want to attend, to pick up some tips and tricks.

I'm up for a class. I can teach and learn at the same time. Why waste my mistakes when others can learn from them.

 

Teaching is good, I have my daughter teach me her homework as if I was a student and she was the teacher, it's a win win, I learn again what I forgot a lifetime ago, and she learns more she is doing this and doesn't just have book smarts, she actually learns the subject.

Hey Mike- I'd enjoy partnering with ya. 6 days with out power so I'm a little behind. I'll copy both you and Maks with an outline when I get it together.

    • What's the crime for riding a dirt bike on the street? Most likely a fine, misdemeanor at most. That justifies causing severe bodily injury through use of lethal force by auto?  There is no way to predict that he would have hit anyone, it's more like a 99.9% he wouldn't have hit anyone.  And that was a 2 lane road, not a pedestrian walkway. Hopefully he hires a good lawyer and everyone is held accountable for their actions.
    • Seriously? “Sounds Fishy”? You can’t think of a reason why the cop thought that was going to happen after watching the video? The cops are there after multiple reports/complaints of vehicles in the pedestrian walkway and reports of near misses. The ATV is on a pedestrian walkway where there are not supposed to be any vehicles and is moving at very fast pace. If he couldn’t stop for the police car, what makes you think he could stop in time for a pedestrian. He dynamited the breaks to avoid hitting the car and lost complete control of the ATV. Luckily the mass of the car prevented it from continuing to tumble down the walkway and take out pedestrians like bowling pins. If he had hit the brakes like that to avoid hitting a pedestrian instead of the car, would the ATV not have flipped? What would the now out of control ATV have done to any people in the walkway? Would the first person be hit have enough mass to stop the ATV in its proverbial tracks? I have seen plenty of pedestrians stuck. It is never like the movies. They don’t parkour out of the way of a speeding car - especially when pushing a baby carriage and the vehicle is approaching from the rear in a place where you think you are safe because vehicles are it permitted.

    • Why would he think the ATV rider was going to run over the pedestrians? Were the pedestrians laying in the road? Sounds fishy. A good lawyer will have a field day with this one.
    • If I lived in the hills, (or the burbs with a tall tree) I'd invest in at least one dedicated repeater and a solar based system to power it.  I don't think you need a tremendous amount of battery capacity, as the repeater will be on standby most of the time.  It will only draw serious current when it transmits. I think one could set up a reliable, self sustaining private node for around $1,500, maybe less.   Agree 100%
