I used to have problems posting messages to the website if I was logged in for a while but that seems to have stopped. I haven't had to compose messages using Wordpad and then copy/paste and transfer them to the text box on the website. I was never actually logged out by the website but it refused to post any messages on the forums or PMs if I was logged into the website for a while. It's been really nice being able to click "reply topic" and actually be able to compose the post within the text box. Thanks for fixing whatever it was that was broken. :woohoo:

Re: I fired a gun for the first time in my life ....

The grip doesn't rub my hand raw, it's that the LCP is such a tiny little gun and very very narrow. Every shot forces it back into your palm. With a bigger gun that isn't too much of a problem (until you start getting into things like .454s and .50s) because the broader face presses back more evenly on your palm.
Even dry firing the little thing gets a little painful.

Session Time

May 21 2012
A few months ago, I changed the session time to 1 day. This means that a user's login session doesn't expire and force them to log back in for 1 day. Now that we've been using that for awhile, how is it working for everyone? Has it decreased the number of time's you've been disconnected or logged out of the site when making a post or sending a message?

Episode 617 - Voyager - "Shattered" - 01/17/2001

http://www.allstepisodes.com/megvid.php?n=4711

Voyager is fractured into several time periods by an accident, and only Chakotay is able to move between them, in the process meeting old friends and old foes from the previous six seasons.


Enjoy!

I fired my first gun last year while taking my conceal and carry permit and gun safety class. :3 Was a .40 and my very first shot was a bulls eye :D. My next few shots were just left of the bulls eye and then I started pulling down before firing in anticipation of the recoil.

My first gun is a Ruger LCP .380 but it's not as loud as the .40 or the 9mm I fired. The kick is more noticeable because the gun is so tiny and I have to wear weight lifting gloves because after a few shots it starts to hurt. xD

I can't wait til I have a little more disposable income so I can buy a baby eagle. :)


yeah after the first shot on the 380 and 9mm my dad noticed me pointing down .. I just need to get over the fear on that .. but gonna stick with the 22 for now then 38 and teach myself to get used to each type ... and now it seems there are like maybe up to 7 of us women willing to go shoot, today just 3 could make the same time but the guys in the gun shop loved it ... they were like so nice to see all you ladies smiling and happy after shooting ... (we of course then went for wings to look at scantily clad women far too young for us ROFL!)

my ex has the same problem as you described with the grip rubbing her hand a bit sore or raw ... not the thingie that comes back on firing hitting her (which I know could ruin your day and am super careful of) but just the butt of the gun rubbing her kinda raw. I may suggest a soft golf glove for her when practicing ... you might like the feel of that as well less padding and more natural feel with a golf glove perhaps.

Here is my first of my .22 targets today doing a rapid fire like 1-2 to sight then burst of 3-4 .. rinse and repeat through 2 clips of 10 each.



(and reason I am saying how I am shooting ... I figure I should only need to shoot in basically a panic mode since I am not a cop .. so its shoot see if they run if they don't fire away ... and that may not be the best philosophy havent taken any classes but it seems natural to me - but I am not aiming full bore on each shot .. I get a gauge on the center and fire rapidly -- even made my target swing a bit today to see if I could adjust to a tiny bit of movement - cause a live target isnt gonna present themselves to me lol) would love comments if I am learning to fire incorrectly based on personal experiences or expertise.

yes those lower shots of mine I think would be effective but I tend to hestitate alot with the larger caliber guns .. I think its the sound getting to me being a newbie and all (not so much the kickback)..

I went shooting again today and went back to that trusty .22 not my fathers this time just a rental ruger with a very long barrel (aka more accurate no kick less sound and I can fire off a clip of 10 very accurately and quickly but loadint the clips on the 22 hurt my wittle thumb LOL, did learn a cool way to load say a 38 revovler or a 22 revolver that is making like the rock symbol with your fingers - pinkie and thumb out fingers in the barrel to push it out - hard to type but it made me like revovlers more lol)

Forgot to take a picture of the gun this time but I got my targets will post tomorrow I am very good at 21 feet on the 22, a bit less at about 35 feet.. I am feeling more confident in the 22 .. gonna try a 38 next .. keep going up then do my cwp perhaps ... at least that is the plan.

Glad I don't feel so dorky posting about shooting in a gaming forum thanks folks!

I figured that there are enough things going on at set times. Such as Sixu's Wednesday sessions. I was wondering about the interest into flexible time sessions where I could be requested to join a mission in advance or right away if I am currently in the game.

STF space elite tutorials

:cube: :cube: :cube: Are you tired of being pushed around at school by the big BORG bully? Here's your chance to payback! Join my self defence class!!! :cube:

Alright on a more serious note, I am currently thinking of possibly hosting STF Space Elite (infected, KA and Cure) tutorial runs with those who are thinking of transitioning from Normal to Elite or anyone looking for tips and what not.
At this point, I am simply looking at the interest level and obviously input. reply to thread and let me know what you think... and BTW if you see me online and need help running an STF and are looking for better feedback than you'd get from the standard PUG, let me know :)

:cube: Until next time: keep your lunch money in your shoe and drones should leave you alone :cube: :cube: :cube:

Fired a real laser pistol for a police training class was cool, the computer said I used 'excessive force'(shot him six or seven times) but the S.O.B wouldn't die, the internal affairs guy that ran the test cleared me.

Voyager's hologram technology, which Janeway had previously donated to the Hirogen, has been modified to make the holographic "prey" more cunning, enabling the hologram characters to rebel against their new masters.
