Little Housekeeping:
-At 37661 miles, the moto went in for a new set of tires. This time they were Michelin Pilot Power 2CT. They feel pretty good, and on the curves it feels like it wants to drop to the side even more! The 2nd set of diablos lasted less then 10k!?! The first held for 12k!
Now if i have the time to do a brake fluid flush and rear brake pad replacement. Soon..
-The shifter cable broke at the shifter on the FSR. A week or so ago i was experiencing wierd shifter play. I'd shift but nothing would happen and then all of a sudden a gear change. Today while riding up i shifted and heard a snap. i thought it was the shifter being old, but it was the cable instead. 3$ replacement, 5minutes, lets see how it holds.
Smallbore:
Prone: 100-7x
Kneeling: 92-0x
Standing: 83-0x
Total: 275-7x

I think i went too fast shooting. I did reset a few times and saved a few points that way. But i also had 2 duds that eventually went off. Silly Eley ammo!

I'm using eley sport. a mexican made Eley, with the same weed powder, but at a way lower price. It's comparable with other rounds, shoots well for me. I did have one round that sounded out of whack, but then i scored pretty well. The funny part is another guy bought the same stuff but wasn't impressed with it. He went with Federal Automatch, which is what i used last year. Good stuff, either way. Automatch is 1200fps, the Eley 1085fps.
Zen shooting was enabled again, how funny it's been a year and it comes back just like that.
