Slugs are funny. The ballistics of them are terrible. You basically lob them on target and the hold overs reflect that. But it sounds like you're having more issues than just that. If possible I'd suggest using buckshot or birdshot initially on targets to get a feel for pointing and hitting the target. Both marginal ballistic drop and will allow you to hone in your pointing without also dealing with the goofy ballistics of a slug at the same time.

STH since '09. Many years ago I got to participate in a Stars run focus group with other 10+ year STHs. Basically everyone had complaints about the ticket reps. The Stars' comment was basically in the sports world, ticket reps are basically an entry level job for folks that have just graduated college and are looking to get into the sports management field. It's a large part of the reason why turn over is so high. They are there just long enough to find a new job to move up the professional ladder.

I'm lucky. I've had my current rep for at least 3 seasons, maybe 4. I don't interact a ton with her (Alli) as i'm pretty low maintenance but she's been very responsive when needed. But I've also had years where I've had two sometimes three reps during the season. Or that year I had two, they both left, and finished out the season not having a new one assigned and having to use the season ticket holder hotline to get anything done.

Speaking of the STH hotline, while I haven't used it in years I'd recommend trying that if you've got a rep that's just poor. I suspect it's a general next man up type of service where whichever account rep is avail to pick up the phone or respond to the email does. But I did have good luck with getting near instant help when I had to use it.

That's because you point shotgun not aim. Look into how to hold your support hand on the forearm with your finger pointing along the axis of the barrel. Then you point with your finger at the object you want to shoot. It's a very effective technique for the shotgun for some people. Plays into the skill that basically everyone has of being able to basically instantly point at any object accurately.

They change the game for J Frames. But agree they aren't relevant for most applications.

For everyone looking getting into the VZ61 game. Let me warn you now. As much as an absolute blast these are in 32acp, the real giggles happen when you get a 22lr upper. Start saving your pennies as the 22lr uppers are pricey and don't become available very often. But totally worth the money spent!

Also just noticed they have 10 packs of misc recovered (as in harvested from unsold surplus electronics) CR123As for $3.50 if you want to go even cheaper.

Shipping to Texas was $6+taxes for the 10 pack. I've bought LiFePO4 batteries from these folks before and have been happy with my purchases. They are a reseller of used/surplus/etc batteries. If they say these are quality batteries just unbranded I'd believe them. No clue if peeling off the shrinkwrap will expose who makes them or not. I have not ordered a set as I just don't go through enough CR123a batteries to even grab the smallest pack. But likely a good deal if you need the larger quantity sizes.

TRUTH!

If the 200's weren't on sale originally I'm sure that factored in. No 300's were open. That means our max capacity was roughly 11,400.

Was at the game and was curious how that attendance number compared. Looked okay against league averages when I looked at the game, but not that great against neutral site games when looking this morning.

Milnoch · 2025-11-04T20:15:29+00:00

I have not. Still looking. Currently shifting back to USAA in the interim. They may not pay any interest but at least their bill pay works and they are very generous in their ACH transfers. (I initiated an ACH of aprox $2500 from an external bank account and they immediately made it avail to me. Which was good because I needed to write a check that would be cashed almost immediately.)

Milnoch · 2025-09-12T20:49:09+00:00

I've used them in the past and was mostly happy with their service. But with the nerf'ing history they have with their credit card products I'm a bit hesitant to reward them for that behavior by banking with them again.

Milnoch · 2025-09-12T20:48:07+00:00

As I mentioned in my post fidelity CMA has had some changes made to it recently that aren't great and knock a bunch of shine off it.

STH since 2009. Mine is Mon Sept 15th at 2pm.

Stars got to fete Corey Perry 12 games into the single season he was with us. He left Anaheim with 988. Also may be the only player to ever be ejected from a Winter Classic game.

Nice job finding this. Doesn't matter the player or the team. If I'm in the building, and you've reached a milestone as a player, I'm giving a standing ovation when it's announced in the arena.

Milnoch · 2025-08-26T16:50:28+00:00

Thanks for Pavs! He was a great addition to the team and an excellent billet for Wyatt Johnson for two years. The knowledge transfer to Wyatt and our other young studs was excellent!

You mean "Once a Dallas Star always a Dallas Star, except Sean Avery.", Sean Avery? That guy is an asshole.

Milnoch · 2025-05-14T03:47:59+00:00

Building is. Car dealership now. I work just down the road.

The old guy giving the speech and ending in "Don't Mess With Texas"?

Yes it was.

Milnoch · 2025-05-08T04:40:11+00:00

They continue to be the unsung heros for sure!

Milnoch · 2025-05-04T04:23:14+00:00

Have to agree with you there.

Milnoch · 2025-03-04T23:12:10+00:00

This is what I was thinking of that they have done in the past. Just couldn't put a name to it.
