If you are serious, I can send you my jacket, sling and gloves as I don't recall when I last used them. The jacket should fit you as it was stitched for me when I only resembled a juvenile whale.

Hi Mack The Knife,

I 've just begun with the anschutz and the problem is that my back and my elbows kill me. I haven't had more than 40 or so bullets practice till now and have shot such a group only twice. So there's no chance of not fitting the motorcycle helmet anymore ;-).
I would love to buy your jacket if possible just hang on till I figure out whether my back will allow me to shoot a box of ammo from this posture.
Really sad the shape that I'm in can't ever recall having such a bad back but its creeping up. Well the tourney is on next week and we have no ammo to practice with. So I'll prolly have to shoot with my finger on match day.

Regards,

Dev

I very much doubt that I could shoot 1/2" groups with iron sights `off the shoulder` any more.........In fact I`m certain I couldn`t !
Well done Dev.
Thank you Sensei.

"Hmmm....LST will shoot one inch group". How close to the target will you have to be for that that, Grumpy?
