Edm Clinic Was Awesome!!!

Ditto.
Thanks to Hungry who makes these trips to pass on his knowledge. And to Sosa for being what amounted to the "Right hand man". (Pizza was awesome as well)
I came away from that with a pile of info. I have your DVDs Hungry, but being there live is sooo much better. You can't ask questions for a clarification to a DVD.
Best $45 I spent in a while.
When I went out today to test fire after the tweaks, I was honestly not looking forward to firing my M-14 as I was brutalized by the last experience which barely got the 5 initial bench rested shots I took onto a 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper at 25 yards. Today, at 50 yards standing freehand my first 5 were within 5 to 6 inches with my first shot being a massive flinch. After the first shot it was, "HEYYY!!!!...this is WAYYYY better!"
And I immediately relaxed and enjoyed the shooting.
....Back inside to get a second box of ammo, and the s#!t eating grin only got bigger.
Now I can concentrate on getting better by relaxing and getting rid of the slight flinch.
Thanks again to all who helped set this up.

I need to buy another m14 and mod it quick before I forget everything I learned.
I got a few good tweaks out of the session.
It was fun lapping the trigger group while walking around talking with everyone and watching all the action. It was great, drill press, chop saw, welders all going at the same time. Changed out barrels, tightened op-rod guides (I got quite a bit of experience in that today), tightened gas actions, shimming and the list keeps going.

Once again, an outstanding time!! good to see some old friends and make some new ones. The whole way home I was rehashing all the tweaks and twists. I will as promised send those who asked the pics from today. Later!

Massive props to Hungry and Sosa from my wife and I. looks like my rifle is shooting better already (I'll know once I get some proper sights on it, or better still a SCOPE) and I'm already looking for a new Op-rod spring guide. Looking forward to the next one already.
Many thanks to Hungry, for another great clinic.
And special thanks to Sosa, who really went above and beyond, meaning he spent some money and allot of time and resources to make sure we had a great day.
He even had his wife deliver lunch, thanks Sosa's wife!!.
And last but not least, thanks to all the attendees!!!
The best part about these clinics is meeting the guys; seeing what they are doing, how they solve problems we all tackle, and lots of times you say to yourself, why didn't I think of that??
If our sport is to survive and hopefully flourish!!!!!!
These get togethers are a must in my onion!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was well worth the drive from Fort St. John. Got to meet some great guys and learned an amazing amount about my 'Rinco.
If you own an M14/M1A//M305 guy and haven't been to one of Hungry's clinics, you're missing out.
Not to mention, your #### will probably fall off!

Everyone that has a m14s should go at least once.With so many different levels of knowledge and build ups it great.Lots of hands on and you get to see what others have added to make it their Norc and try it out. All age groups were there as well which is nice.Later.Neighbor lady has french toast on this morning.MMMMM good
To all the attendees of the clinic. I have a few pics of the welfare tools Hungry showed us. If anyone wants copies of them PM me with your email addy and I will send the whole folder to you. It may include a quick vid of some crazy guy rapid firing his norc?!?!? Don't know who that could be?
Once again, an outstanding clinic and a HUGE thanks to Sosa, Hey You, Mrs. Sosa for the za. Let's not forget Big Tex who graciously gave up his time to weld and tweak for others before doing his own tweaking.
