  2. GUN FOR SALE

    in Other Sales

    Posted

    hi LG

     

    i don;t think the stock has been altered but not 100% not since i have had it anyway. it is a nice gun but since i got my beretta i just don't use it so i thought i would sell it. i am in no rush as i cannot be bothered to advertise it else where.

  4. cross eye Dominance

    in Guns & Equipment

    Posted

    After the discussion we had about this last week I had a look at the site and found that Sporting Targets are one of the retailers so I went down on Sunday.

     

    I have been having real trouble shooting straight recently. I can never remember to close my left eye at the last minute and as a result I miss the target more often than not. I had a lesson at sporting targets a few months ago where the coach identified the problem I have of central vision and suggested the eye close thing or changing my left hand position on the gun. Neither have really worked, like I say, so I was interested to see what this bead was like.

     

    I spoke to the guy in sporting targets again as he is reluctant to sell these to you unless you will benefit from it. Anyway got it home and fitted it in about 2 minutes. I haven't been out with the gun since but just mounting it in the garden and closing my left eye afterwards I now find that the sight picture stays the same. If you don't have an eye domininance issue it probably sounds daft but it really does change what you are looking at if you close your left eye which means you weren't aiming correctly with both eyes open.

     

    Anyway I will let you know if I actually hit any more at the weekend but thanks very much for the link Pavman. :rolleyes:

    all i have done is delete the cookies from the internet options from the tools menu as instructed to do by another forum i visit as i was having difficulty with staying logged in on that site.

     

    now the other site keeps me logged in but this one chucks me out each time (feels like the time i went home with my ears pierced and my mum threw me out :( :thumbs: ) then she let me back in but charged me an extra £10.00 board for each earing ;)

    Does this treatment need to be re-done in the future...? I heard that it was only good for 5-10 years......

    the doctor says it will last ages but she may need reading glasses i 15 - 20 years from now.

     

    still cheaper than god nows how many pairs of glasses over 15 years though

     

    it cost me £850 off ebay yes thats right off ebay should have been £1250

    Oh, and buy all the new guns etc c`amo and hang them on the wall before she takes the dressings off.

    Those? Oh they've been there for years, Your couldn't see them before :lol:

    quality nildes great minds think alike but then i thought better keeping what i have got than risk having it all put in the bin when i am at work one day :lol::lol::D

     

    she may have been a little blind but she is far from daft, thinking about it i don't know why she has had it done because she always seemed to know exactly what i was up to all the time i presume my days are numbered now she can also see what i am up to :lol:

    hi all

     

    my wife has had laser eye surgery today, she has had the treatment where they do not cut the eye they scratch away the surface, or some thing like that.

     

    she is in bed now doped up to the EYE BALLS with sleeping tablets, she is in severe discomfort and has asked me to ask if any of you have had this treatment and how long will the bad pain last before it becomes tollerant.
