    I got my first shot of the Pfizer vax on Wednesday. Wondering who else has gotten a shot, and did you have any side effects.

     

     

    A family friend got vaccinated, not sure which vaccine. He has all the symptoms of COVID two days after getting the vaccine but tested negative for COVID.. This is complicated with long term effects of Diabetes. He went to urgent care, they admitted him to an ICU, the transferred him to a specialized ICU. He was intubated and on TPN for nutrition, they put down an NG tube to try to start tube feedings and got it into his lungs. Because of the effects of long term Diabetes, he went into end stage renal failure. He checked himself out AMA and has gone home to die and is refusing dialysis..

    Best Friend called last night, he farms 4,500 acres, between 7.5 and 8 square miles and also owns a 400,000 chicken egg farm amongst several other buisenesses, so he is in the middle of planting and this is probably dependent on the weather but we are taking his convertible Viper 1.5 hours to columbus, Ohio on either Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, don't know yet but we are going to the Lamborghini dealership and he has set up a test drive for both him and myself, he wants me to drive it also and know what I think... "F" Corona virus, life is good !

    Roger....  I've never really been a shooter.  I did not know any of the above, that was interesting, thanks!

     

    Heck, when I was in high school, we had a class that spent the day with some cops (probably to try to scare us straight)

    We went to their shooting range....  turns out I was a decent shooter with his pistol....  I don't recall the specifics other than I might have had say, five bullets (or was it six?) and like your picture above, they were clustered.  They weren't necessarily in the bulls eye, I think they were on the edge of it.  (was my first time ever shooting a pistol) BUT they WERE in the inner-range of the target.

     

    Except....  I had say, six shots....BUT only FIVE were registered.  He only gave me credit for five hits  but, when you looked at the actual holes, one of them was torn up a bit like the lower cluster.  The implication was I nearly put a shot through the previous hole....  and he was refusing to believe that.  Or, the bullet went through sideways making a larger tear in the paper.

     

    I'm not saying I did it out of any skill....  I'm all for beginners luck....  but you don't cluster 5 shots (or how ever many it was) and they're all in a decent group....  and then have one totally miss the target.  Especially when I knew I had the sights on the bullseye...

     

    I digress....  matters not that I got one "off the page" according to him.....I knew that if I ever needed to shoot that I can evidently repeat the same shot (or same mistake!!) with decent accuracy.

     

    (when I was younger, went to a boys camp which was the first time I'd ever shot a rifle....and I got the most improved award of the bunch)  Probably meant I want from missing the target to finally clipping the outer edge of it by the time camp was done!!  Heh.

     

     

    No problem Richard,

     

    Our shooting sport is a dying thing and if we want it to continue, we need to encourage every single question instead of making fun at others expense. I think it is Awesome that PWK holds this patent, just shows once more what a multifaceted genius the man was !!!

    For us dummies....  what is a barrel tuner and what does it do?

     

    (no, I've not clicked on the link(s), getting ready for work....besides now that I have your attension, I love to pick on your spelling!  HA!)

     

    :emotion-21:

     

     

    Richard,

     

    The barrel of a rifle has Harmonics, just like a car engine. Things that change these harmonics are things like barrel diameter, barrel length, weight of the projectile being spun, speed of the projectile being spun, the amount of interface between the bearing surface of the projectile and the lands of the barrel.

     

    If you have spent any time shooting, I am sure you know to try different loaded rounds to see what shoots best in your rifle or pistol. What in affect you are doing by trying different factory loads or hand loading is trying to match the speed of the projectile, match the frequency node of the barrel. It was1939 that PWK invented the barrel tuner by adding a very simple weight to his barrel and the patent was granted in 1942 . Modern day Tuners are weights that you cut threads on your barrel to screw them on. As you might imagine, the harmonic frequencies involved are very high and thus change frequency in a very short amount of space. When you change the position of the weight, you change the frequency of the barrel, just like changing the length of the strings with the frets on a guitar. The harmonics of a gun barrel change and repeat themselves over and over with position changes to the weight. In only one revolution of the barrel Tuner on my Rifle, the whole thing starts over, just like the full musical scale with multiple "F" notes like F minor, etc. As you change the frequency of the Tuner, the group size will start to change and to find the node frequency of your barrel, you will shoot either 3 or five shot groups at each setting on the Tuner, till you get two or three settings where the groups stay the smallest and you split the difference and set the Tuner in the middle setting. Of course you will have to change the setting and re find the node, every single time that you change your ammo load. A different brand of ammo, you will have to change the tuner setting. A different weight projectile or different amount of powder or even a different lot of ammo and you will probably have to reset the tuner. but as long as the load stays the same, you do not change the tuner setting unless it starts shooting worse from say a big temperature change. This is a very finite adjustment such as for very long distance shooting but it does shrink your guns group sizes. I will attach some videos to watch.

    Sorry to hear about your buddy, but it's a shame to let your bike and his work sit. Sounds like a monster of a machine, those were pretty cool bikes even stock. I love V4 motorcycles, they have a wonderful sound. Soichiro Honda sure loved V-4s.

     

     

     

    With that custom polished stainless exhaust he bent up for me, she's loud as hell.   :D

     

    He sold custom exhausts for the V-Max but mine is only one of two systems he did in thin wall polished stainless, just for me...
