Spoken like an engineer (and that is a compliment). To paraphrase Drew Hause's tag line "More data, less talk."

He may have a certain perspective on this issue, but Jim Eyster is extremely knowledgeable about target gun performance and is very generous with his time if you call with questions. His approach is data-driven and does not simply rely on standard modifications like lengthening forcing cones.

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
