I do, but I can get paid for my content, and don't usually post it for free ;)


That good, huh?


Work stuff. Nothing flashy, but i am slowly getting better!

And you would be amazed what a guy can get paid doing freelance work, when you can string one or two sentences together, and take a couple halfazz pictures.

Interesting. I actually strung 4 sentences together once, maybe I should look into this!

Terrible with a camera though... :(

Have to be good with pics these days. My generation (millenials) need info presented at a third-graders pace. Lots of pics, little content. And most of the content revolves around product placement, rather than actual info. The real problem with freelance work is you have to do a lot of it to actually make money.

All that said, you have some tremendously insightful posts and some excellent technical attention to detail.

Thanks, that's nice of you to say. I like to think I can write well enough to keep my thoughts moving in the right direction, but never really learned how to do it properly. Finishing high school probably would've been a good start.

My ADD/HD is such that I have great ideas and thoughts but for anything that goes beyond my immediate circle, I have to have my wife edit as she is a whiz at it.

How about a link or three to your work? Perhaps we can push some traffic and $$ to you... ;)

Not how it works. I get everything up from. I have quite a bit in some regional stuff that never gets online as well.

And I kinda like my anonymity here. It means I can really up the ante on my jackassery :D

I think this explains the decline of this forum! We are all selling our brilliant writing elsewhere.

Here's my group from yesterday. Didn't think it deserved a new thread. I also gathered some DOPE at 360 and 225 yds.
Sammichman, I borrowed a range finder (Bushnell) and got 495 yds to the target.

I shot 2 Screamers and 4 Yellers.
Screamers were 6", Yellers were 9"
2nd place Score and Group, 3rd in 2-gun.
Beat by 1 point for score.

Pics above were shot by my driver using my highly modified State Arms rifle. He's learning - slowly.
