Yes, that's right! It's Thanksgiving in the USA, so have a happy one all you American members!!! We celebrated back in October, but I still use this one as my official Christmas season kickoff date!
Eat lots of turkey and stuffing for me!!

I won a backpack today.

Our school held a fair today, presenting all the different departments, student organizations and such. Well, my old brigade had its own corner where they presented the different military branches. There they had set up this shooting training system / "laser" simulator that you could play with. The one with the best results was supposed to win the backpack. A friend (hunter) had already shot a perfect 100 point score before I (target shooter) gave it a try. Shot a perfect score. Three times.

So, long story short:
1. It's fun to win, especially if it requires skill.
2. I have to get myself one of those training systems, it beats any video game. In fact, I'm comparing different systems right now.

Congratulations Mr Stefan! Good shooting.

That's awesome Stefan! Congrats. We shall now call you "The Great Shooting Googler". :-)

Yes, for someone who's not thankful for anything, you've certainly got a wealth of talent, Stefan!

It was too easy. The groups I shot with the simulator were nowhere near what I would demand of myself on a real shooting range.

It's not talent, it's practice. I could teach anyone to shoot better than me in about 10 minutes.

edit: yeah, now all I have to do, is pull $3000 out of my *** to get that simulator. Funny, it's almost exactly the sum I expected..

Myself, I've had a less than perfect day. I had to sack a guy this morning, then spent the rest of the day tortured by guilt...I mean, it's only a few weeks until Christmas....
So, in my 'deflated' mood I got to thinking about my big sister who died unexpectedly this Spring, she was only 52. She was my life-guide and mentor in my early years and I miss her.
It made me think of this;
"If there's something you want to do, do it now. There are only so many tomorrows".

Sorry to hear that, James.
