Yeah, I've played Ice Hockey since I was 8yrs old. Since I live in Colo I'm also big into Snowboarding/Skiing in the winter and backpacking in the summer. I used to be a long distance runner, but gave that up. It's pretty much the Bike, Snowboard and Skates for me now. I wonder why I still have skinny legs then...? Dave |

Cool, I love Rally Races.
Wanted to build a Rally Car (from an 1988 Nissan 200sx) but my financial situation changed.......for the worse.....getting better now tho. As far as other sports, not going to happen, have a bad knee, and cycling is the only thing I can do that won't tear it back open. (Had a fight with a skill saw - it won..lol) I am however a gamer - aka I play computer games - not into the newer games but I have Tomb Raider 2, Nascar Racing 2, Age of Empires, AOE 2 Kings, AOE 2 Conquerors, 4x4 Evo 2, and Rainbow6(which has stopped working for some reason) I also rebuild older computers (mostly P2 and AMD K6-2)

RL, before "Rainbow 6" packed up, how did you find it? I'm a great Tom Clancy fan (read all of his books) and was looking at getting the game but wasn't sure. Would you recomend it? I'm also into pc games, enjoy Screamer 4x4, Colin McRae (old but still working for me). Get's me into trouble with the missus though!

Played Football through college (US football) tried to go further with it, but didn't have what it takes apparently. I love snowboarding and mountain bikes. Tried hockey when I lived in CO, but ended up face down slightly more than when I ride so I moved on. Love the game though! I'm a Penguins fan, don't laugh. Super Mario will show us the way. He just won't have any help doing it. I lift a little still, but don't feel like I need to play atlas or anything. I am on a pistol shooting team and getting pretty good at that. The others on the team are really helping me come along.
Bjorn, this will show some of my ignorance, but Rally? That is the racing that is on mostly dirt roads at amazing speeds around and up and down? If so: much, much repsect to you for being able to perform at that high a level at anything let alone something that can be that demanding of mental concentration. I bet it's a hell of an adreneline rush. I would love to be able to try and drive a car like that! I'd probably fly off a cliff and pull a much less dramatic "Thelma and Louise." Take care. K.

AL, I haven't got CMR3, but love CMR2. Got all th ecars and love looking for new shortcuts. Don't know how 2 & 3 compare to each other but I still play it quite often. ireman_1, what kind of pistol shooting do you do? I used to shoot manny moons ago, but it got to expensive for me to cary on.

I started just doing a "regular" league type thing. You know, a certain number of rounds at each target, varying distances, varied stances, etc. I have recently started doing IDPA matches and some other "reality" based matches that focus on real world situations and skills with real world guns. Those $4000 specialty guns with optics are not allowed since not too many people walk around with them when they carry. I, typically, shoot a kimber Pro tactical or CDP. I've been thinking of saving for a Wilson CQB, but it is not a priority since my kimbers are sub 2" (about 1.5" when viced) guns already. Most of that is similar to the certifications I have to do for work once a year while the league is similar to the quarterly certifications. So I started out sort of familiar with the formats. It is expensive and I will have to decide, soon, if I want to continue or not. I will likely keep doing the reality based matches and none of the other. I have not won any matches yet, but I did get most improved the first year and last time I made it to third place in my division. Take care.

I used to do the straight forward "boring" target shooting, like they do at the Olympics. Used small caliber .22, one discipline with a centre fire .32 or .35 and air pistol. Everything was shot with one hand over distances ranging from 10m for the air pistol to 25-50m for the 22, and 25m for the centre fire. At that stage I was still working for the Dept. of Correctional Services (Prison Warden) and was issued with all the guns. They are damn expensive, in 1990 the Dept bought new air pistols and after a lot of negotiations and placing an order for 20 guns they paid about R12 500.00 a piece.  Fortunately the ammo for a .22 is not to expensive but we went through about 1500 rounds per month, that is for practice only. I started shooting in 1990 and got my provincial colors and National colors in 1994. In 1996 I bought a house, my wife and I started a family and in 1998 I decided to rather spend the money on my house and family and handed my guns back to the Dept. I would like to do it again but have left the Dept. in the meantime so unless I win the Lotto there is no way I'll be able to buy the guns to start again.

Lazy,
That's a level of straight shooting I don't know I will ever reach. I am certainly NOT that good, but good enough (you know?). We have something else in common. You said you worked at a prison, well I used to and am now a parole officer for the state. Hard work, but good work and I know you understand! I understand the whole family priority thing. I can respect you for making the correct decision! Too many people don't put their family first. I hope you find a way to get back to shooting since it sounds like you really enjoy it. Take care and be safe. K. |
