Helping hands on this forum

[Topwater]

As I get older and become more and more fascinated by this precision shooting, I’ve reflected on a lot of folks who have gone above and beyond standard assistance. It seems as if we’re all anxious to complain about things. I’d like to turn the corner and give a “ BIG SHOUT OUT “ to several members here who have been mentors and aided me in my pursuit of long range accuracy. Until five years ago, I was pretty cocky about my shooting and reloading abilities. BOY ! did I get a reality check ! I hadn’t a clue as to how “ignorant” I truly was. Well, these folks have been an immense help to me. I would like to mention some and extend my most sincere thanks for all their help.

Nomad47, Dave Way, Attrum, thekriebles, lancexxx, PatMiles, Jepp2, Dragman, and Jimmymac. I know there are plenty more that I’ve not mentioned. A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to ALL !

I think it's the same for a few of us. We didn't know how much we didn't know until we got here!

Professor I once had said: There is that which you don't know, and that which you don't know that you think is so.

You are a good guy Stitch. Thank you for the kind words.

I am a hack as far as I’m concerned, but I try to be helpful when I can, just like the guys who have helped me. When we provide time and assistance to fellow shooters, we all end up winners. These guys have helped me immensely.

@Jack Neary
@AlNyhus

There are others, but the guys above took an interest in helping me at different times along my journey from total beginner to registered hack. You never know where, when and who that gold nugget of wisdom may come from. Thanks go out to all who have helped me.

I could say the same for Alex Wheeler, Lance, & the urbanrifleman. All these have helped me & others whose names have left me at the moment. Thanks to all of you who post your knowledge here.

Many here have certainly helped me turn the corner to some degree with my hand loading and shooting.
Zack Donovant
Smokin Joe
Al Nyhus
Bart Sauter
Jack Neary
And the list goes on.

 

[6ShotsOr5?]

I can at least add @KMart, @JTEX, @snert, and @joshb to the list above, and probably several more if I thought about it a little longer

and @RegionRat, @gunsandgunsmithing.

 

[gambleone]

Don't forget about Guffy. He did his best to try & explain things.

 

[PatMiles]

Stitch,
Good folks, obviously yourself included, are a joy to help!
I am truly honored to be mentioned with the fine folks mentioned above!
Thank you sir.

It’s great community, I’ve made a lot of friends here and been aided with help many times. Good post.

and @RegionRat, @gunsandgunsmithing along with several other members that have not been posting recently

Still posting. Just been very busy catching up and trying to get ahead to where I can shoot more this season. Thank you

Some of the guys on here started helping me on the benchrest central site years ago. Doug

Dave Tooley, Boyd Allen, Billy Stevens, Dusty Stevens, Randy Robinett, Jackie Schmidt, Alex Wheeler, George Ulrich, and a bunch more that have been mentioned and a bunch that have not. You can look up look up anything you want on snap GPT, tik tok, you can use a load from on face book and get a bunch of data, some may even not blow up your gun. But why when there ae people here that have done it and won it for decades, and they are willing to help all of us. Just don't ask the congress woman that wants to ban barrel shrouds and that shoulder thing that goes up. b\But in all fairness some of the internet gun wisdom is about the same value as hers is.

Donovan Moran, Laurie, Ned Ludd ,Jim O'Hara , James Mock, Erik Cortina, and the list goes on.

i believe i was ambiguous with my wording. i should have said 'and several other' rather than 'along with several other'.
