    Greetings Ftx325, Perhaps Ftx325, for our enjoyment, you could explain how a basic 3 - 9 scope of reasonable quality morphed into a Leupold VX3i 4.5 - 14 with all the widgets. I have settled into my...

    Greetings Everybody, We are supposed to be getting crap weather in HB tomorrow so headed up Kuri Hill this morning. Reasonably cool with some light misty drizzle at times. Ideal. Huffing and puffing...

    Thanks for that Bumblefoot, I seem to be doing some of the same stuff but less of it for now. One pool walk for 30 minutes or a bit more. This includes the reverse thrust paddling. One Kuri hill...
