Lane Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) I'm not saying it's going to be easy. And you don't have any indication beforehand on what the swing is built like? You've not ridden it daily? That's going to be a significant learning experience from day one. But over time; you might find a rhythm of leg moves. Edited July 26, 2021 by Lane 2/3 IPSC WTF are you talking about... I know. But That's nasty on a swing you've not fucked on before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But over time; you might find a rhythm of leg moves. First time rodeo was yesterday... Never seen ANYTHING like that in a shooting match before, so there was no imagination in building something like that for traning for it. Show up, shoot it, and do your best. The only advance-notification was the email of the stage info late Friday afternoon, and looking at the stages, Stg 1 was the "wobble platform." Same as I posted above, the stage info - is what we got. You show up, and look at this sex-swing, and your mind is going WTF!!! I immediately thought about those poor 3 SEALS that had to shoot from ship-decks to save Captain Phillips... Had to be even worse for them, in rolling seas, from the back of a ship...

That's why I was thinking about options here... But you'd be grinding on the skanky carpet. You might need a special "outfit" to ride the swing and zero motion for every shot. But every swing is special. You're going to have to learn how to move with it. Building a frame of shite pine wood might be even more challenging since it could flex is unexpected ways.

98Z5V Posted July 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Oh, make NO MISTAKE. Some variation of this bastard WILL BE at the Fall Shoot. The timed 90-second course of fire is Tic-TACT-Toe at 450 yards. Off this thing. It's already decided. THAT is happening. Jump right up on that thing ANY time during the day to try to improve your previous best-score... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're all over the place. You need to have your whole body on a swivel like an owl head; or a chicken's. This is a "CRAZY" shooting problem that I've not had to deal with. But. I guess It's time to build the swing at this place. Who thought this was an awesome idea? .... I agree. It needs to be done...

It would also make sounds if build shoddily enough. The only thing missing is the smell. Do we need some freshly killed scorpions that have started to get mildew pushed under the nose of the shooter? Or some kimchi? Etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new ones have color, and the same physical size, but more pixels. Shot timing is a hair different though between them, and I'm still working on qualifications. The labradar helps. But there are still audio recordings that I work against. The software is solid one all hardware with some version; but I'm trying to merge it all into a multi-hardware compatible blob. Sadly; bluetooth seems to be locked out in the short term due to flash memory limits. I'm ready though; it works better than all the commercial products on the market already. Just trying to get it ready for anyone and everyone that wants one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, we (I) have to store this once it's built, and move it to the shooting location all the time... Wood, once it's together, will probably have to stay together, and that's a big bastard to move, store, keep. 2x2 steel square - main bottom frame, some uprights that can be removed... I can manage that, and store it. And move it. And erect it quickly when we shoot. It'll work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Yeah; you do you Sir. I have the same problem. You made me need to build a giant swing to make sure I know how to operate.

They're either gonna go into this project for the Sex Swing, or they're gonna be "surveyed stakes" at out shooting positions for the long distance stuff - pound ''em in, survey them, leave them there...
