    my pet peeve...

    Im one of those guys who starts twitching when people call magazines "clips."

    Its gotten so bad that today in class (pre law student) my professor said

    "Today we are going to look at some youtube clips.."

    and before she could finish speaking I shouted across the room, "MAGAZINE!"

    boy did I get some odd looks

    I just pretend all the gang bangers are riding around with M1 Garands, with a trunk full of "assault clips". It makes it easier...

      The older you get, the less pet peeves you have.

      At my age, zero.

      Don't sweat the small stuff

                      I have a bigger problem with people who talk about "accuracy" in terms of moa or group size. Every inteligent shooter should understand that "accuracy" has NOTHING to do with group size or moa.

                        People also get too much way involved with their damn groups. I like shooting well as much as the next guy, but I am a fan of the concept of combat accuracy.

                          I just want to hit what I am aiming at... I could not care less what you call it. In the end it makes no difference.

                            +1, but if I dot hit where I'm aiming at I at least wantto see I'm consistent about it and not all over the paper

                              From what you said, you could either be talking about "accuracy" or "precision". Do you know which one you mean?
