A lot of advice is given on this forum. Some good, some bad. Most importantly everone is trying to help and/or learn.
It would be nice/helpfull if feedback was given by those using the advice. Did they try advice A or B, what was the outcome, what can others learn from this???
Please note, this is not directed at any-one in particular, just a general comment.
I often see a lot of suggestions being made, but never a word back from the original poster, which leaves a person wondering how it all turned out. Edited by 8shots - May/07/2008 at 04:51 |

Nice Idea 8shots, some of the best advise I recieved so far was to try kahles scopes, up until this forum, I normaly used nikon or leupold scopes because I assumed they were the best in the $500.00 class. By the suggestions of other I've I tried kahles and and I can "clearly" see the difference. Thanks again to this forum.

thats a good idea, I know I've asked alot of questions and gotten good feedback, I have not been able to actually use or see how it works but rest assured that once I get back in the field and get to it I'll let y'all know how it goes.

Still working on the advice I have recieved. Just trying to get the time to finish up at the loading bench and get to the range to test for results. I plan on posting my results as soon as I have them.
Good idea 8, helps sort fact from friction.
Hey merc, when did you get the second star?

I know where you are coming from, 8-shots. It is kind of frustrating to type up a long answer, especially for a slow typist like me, and never hear a word in reply. You don't even know if the Original Poster even bothered to read your advice!
I think that if you ask specific questions, espicially when starting a new topic, it 's a matter of common courtesy to check back daily for at least a week and at least acknowledge the advice given. I hope that I haven't been guilty of failing to do that too often here, and if so I apologise...

I think you've done great! Example: http://www.opticstalk.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9949 I loved Mark's reply when you didn't choose the Glock. |

I think the feedback that I've gotten from guys like Mike, mojo and ghost are great. I really appreciate that.
I haven't received any hate mail, yet. I work on it, though. Thanks for the positive remarks, Mike. Edited by tahqua - May/07/2008 at 20:09 |

That was absolutely classic, wasn't it? I still laugh out loud every time I think about that kid!
Actually that entire thread is one of very few that I originally posted as a new topic since I've been here, and I am very proud of it, and humbly grateful for all the great advice I received from so many helpful folks!
