And to avoid embarrassment, the athletes were all given a dose of bromide. When the daughter of one of the Greek senators saw them she cried “Oh, limp pricks”. Over time, this morphed into the name we know today.
I can't wait to use that in my High School history class!

I know the Air Rifle event is scheduled and USA Shooting said they would soon have an announcement for Air Pistol. Does anyone have a clue as to possible dates/location under consideration? A private message would work if necessary.

Re: Morini162e trigger compared to Morini mechanical trigger
Thank you for the replies. I am curious if the trigger pull itself feels the same with the mechanical vs. electric trigger on the Morini. It is suggested that the electric trigger feel is superb.

Re: Shooting Glasses
At least call Mr Stepp. He can describe to you what he can have made and sent to you at a VERY reasonable price. You will need to have your prescription with you so you can read the numbers off to Neal. I guarantee he can be of tremendous help to you.

Re: beware ISS
Why does it have to be an argument. Pick up the phone and call Neal at 817-595-2090. He is an honest man. Speak with him. Leave a message and your phone number if it goes to the answering machine.
