This Post seems to have been a long time coming. The 1000 th. Post landmark.
When you start out as a Newby, the 100 th. Post looks a long ways off, but it seems almost no time you are there, and are looking toward Post # 1000.
Of course, there are those on this Forum who seem to have lots of time on their hands, and the desire to post as many things as they can, just to see the total rise. Probably the most used one of these is "Check the headspace." (This is one of the things that gets SMELLIE's blood pressure rising, as most of the people who put in a "check the headspace" post have little idea of the proper way or methods of checking the headspace. But, it does give them another number of their posts.)
And, where do you want to put Post # 1000? Because I am mostly interested in Milsurps, then this seem an appropriate place. And, because this is a milestone Post, what should the subject be?
Because both SMELLIE and I are in the "after 65 and retired" age group, and grew up during the heyday of cheaper surplus weapons, and have a lot of experience and knowledge of the weapons and period, we came to the conclusion that it should be in the Milsurps section. Also, the long range shooting experience we gained on Military target ranges was a factor.
As the Post # 1000 should be serious and instructional, not to mention motivational, we came to the conclusion that a picture was worth 1000 words, and would be appropriate.
So, here is a picture of BUFFDOG, SMELLIE and PETERDRAGON2 waiting for the Pigeons that crapped all over their vehicles.
