Re: 61 Minute of Angle Zero Shift with Vortex Viper Red Dot Sight

Well, it turns out that the glass had actually shifted a little bit within the housing of the Viper RDS, which in turn pushed the red dot askew resulting in the drastic shift in POI. I'm glad the Vortex Rep who called me actually took the time to look it over while we were on the phone, because the ...

Ballistic Gel vs Texas Summer.jpg
Someone left a block of ballistic gel on the picnic table at the range a couple months ago. I policed it up last week by peeling it off the table. It had literally melted & was dripping on the ground...

Re: 2023 Instructor Renewals

Anyone who has completed the test and paperwork received their recertification yet? I did min almost 2 weeks ago and nothing. I haven't received the link to the test yet. I submitted the application & supporting documents on 7/14, and other than the automated confirmations of receipt haven't he...

Re: Chris Cypert?

I wasn't in 5th Group, but reached out to a peer who was. He didn't recognize Cypert's name, but reached out to some of his peers from 5th GRP. He said the feedback he received, within minutes of me asking, was that Cypert is a solid guy. "I'm hearing nothing but great things about him", t...

Re: 2023 Instructor Renewals

I'm thinking we won't get the link to the online class & test until after Sept 1st, since that's when most of new legislation tends to go into effect. If I recall correctly, when we have to go in-person for the renewal class, the dates are crammed between Sept to Dec. Just got my email for the ...

Re: 61 Minute of Angle Zero Shift with Vortex Viper Red Dot Sight

Thanks for the feedback! The G-19 is the only pistol I currently have that the Viper RDS fits on so I didn't swap it out, but I'm confident it was the optic & not the gun. I could look at the dot through the optic, and then refocus on the front sight & see how far off it was from the point o...

61 Minute of Angle Zero Shift with Vortex Viper Red Dot Sight

I decided to get a RDS for my Glock 19 a couple years ago, but didn't really put many rounds through it since it wasn't my every day carry gun. Other than using it for the DPS' First Responders Course, it was basically just used to familiarize myself with RDS'. Last October I began training with it ...

Re: Restaurant with bar section

It likely depends on what part of the premises are included in the TABC license. If you have ever noticed signs at a place that sells alcohol for on-premises consumption to the effect of "No Alcoholic Beverages Beyond This Point", that likely is the demarcation line for the area included i...

Re: Accuracy 1st’s Todd Hodnett Shares Long-Range Shooting Secrets

Todd Hodnett is the real deal. He is humble, but when he starts a block of instruction about how he uses "simple Cowboy Math" for his formulas, then starts talking about cosine of this, & cosine of that, you realize that his mind is going about as fast as he speaks! And the way he has ...
