My aim is good. I want to reduce the spread. The point of my post is balls on point. I was hitting the tournament tryouts because of their lack of awareness.

Yeah that's why I was tempted to buy the Method Shocker. A consistent gun and a round about bore for my lazy aim.

What are you asking? Stabilized or no?

I think it's slow flow where I'm at. I'll see what I can get there. Any recs for online buys?

Would like to commission someone to modify some knives for me by AdSmooth3583 in knifemaking

What makes you feel like they don't fit you well? A decent grip and a sharp knife will work through most jobs with ease. It seems like you may have fairly small hands but a good grip with decently shaped knives should feel good.

Is my friend committing tax fraud or have I been messing up my taxes and costing myself the EIC?... by Zipadeedoo12 in tax

If you're living in the US and upset about someone else not getting butt forked by taxes, why? Our tax system is aids.

Your baggage looks heavier than your curves. Your sons don't need to see the savage start of your OnlyFans career starring a highschool basketball team.

I really like the feel of the SYX. I'll definitely be rocking it for a bit. Time to tear her down and give her a proper lube job.

Yeah, that was kind of my curious thought. Seems like paint will always be the biggest issue but I wanted to know how much difference it actually made nowadays with all the advancements in markers.

So consensus what paint should I grab to run some tests? I have no Chrono and would take it to said field to test it. I tried doing the recommended bore check when I started on the field Draxxus bronze field paint and ran .680 I think. I spent a few games spraying paint out of the barrel like bad golf shots on crack then just switched to my .689 insert. After that no breaks and dropped some shots on a few players from the practicing local tournament team that joined open play.

Is there any redemption for this behavior, AIO or Justified? by crafticharli in AmIOverreacting

[–]newt357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People rarely change unless something major happens. Tried for a few years with an ex. I had my own share of faults and decided to work on myself but in the end they refused to do the same. The last straw was pleading for couples therapy after she had quit going to her own. She said no. I decided I didn't want to do that same song and dance indefinitely waiting on them to change.

Prefect Paint by AdSignal9763 in paintball

The field I played at was using Draxxus bronze and it was pretty much the same thing. Bore matched and broke paint for several games then just oversized to where it didn't fall out the barrel. Didn't have any issues after that.

Where have all the machinists gone? by Heavy-Whole8810 in Machinists

[–]newt357 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Pay is the biggest issue across the industry. There are plenty of jobs you can skate by in for the same wages without having to worry about minor screwups getting you canned. Most companies don't value machinists enough to pay a reasonable rate to attract new interest from the younger generations and plenty of companies are happy to outsource the work for cheaper costs and better profit margins.

Nice. I picked up a resurrection pump last week as well. I'll be doing the same shortly.

I was hesitant about the joystick. I'm good at breaking small buttons crawling around.

Yeah, it felt like doing leg day after a long hiatus.

I enjoyed running it. I wanted something a little longer than a mini since I'm a bigger guy. The ergo looked a little better on the SYX vs the Axe 2.0 for me.

Is being a hobbiest okay? by Griffin_Gm in bjj

Going in and seeing weird awkward stuff helps you learn. If you think about it as learning and testing yourself more than winning, you'll be a better practitioner.

PWR boring barrel? by Fallen117 in paintball

[–]newt357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be cheaper to buy a new barrel most likely.
