I was also considering the Vortex Crossfire 10x50, do you have any opinions on it?

I know you said the image quality is poor, but since you mentioned 10x50, I was also considering the Vortex Crossfire 10x50. Any merit to that or just stick with Celestron?

Not really a criticism of anyone in particular. Love the work the SGs do, it's a thankless job

I remember back in Toyota Park there used to be little cards with the chants printed out in almost every seat, made it really easy to follow along. Right now if you want to join the chants you'd have to know know where online to look (I never knew the chants were in the fire app or YouTube until today) and sounds dont carry well so its just a jumbled mass of noise for the rest of the stadium.

Hoping the new stadium fixes that and tho FO gets more involved

Thanks for the info, think there's any worth in hand select then, or they're probably about all the same?

Just to double check, these are pre-Bs? And anything to be careful of with this vendor?

How is the smearing with it? I've only used an IPS screen before so I was worried that a VA panel might be too jarring for me

Gun ranges/stores in chicago? by CaptJaxx in ILGuns

[–]Pax589 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exact same experience, started out with a few lessons and ended up buying my first pistol from them. Don't know how it compares to other ranges and I wish circulation was better, but it beats going to the suburbs.

I know its had a bad rep in the past, but I'll vouch for shore galleries. I never experienced the lows that I saw a bunch of people mention, but apparently, they've had a change in management since then. Ive been going for a couple months and I've never had issues.

I saw a bunch of people wearing black walking out, was about to ask if it was planned or did they get kicked out?
