…at the Larue Range Day;
Got him to sign my knife too after he told me not to kill anybody with it after he signed it! :lol:
In case you read this Chris, it was a pleasure meeting you today!
I was down there.
It was fun but I threw up in my mouth just a little when they announced the winner of the Predatar…
wow. I just realized you live in Virginia Beach.
i’m confused… is he some kind of celebrity or something?
was it mark larue himself? :lol:
james yeager?
The winner was a 13 year old kid.
ugh… you mean the winner was a 13 year old kid’s father?
yeah, fly out monday. Gonna try and get RB1 down to Austin for training
YEah, they didn’t give it to the kid - but it’s still sickening.
That’s awesome!
My apologies for the thread hijack, but it would be terrific to see RB1 come to Texas.
ColdDeadHands, it looks you had a very fun weekend! Did you do any shooting while you were there? And did Larue demo any new products?
They had the Trijicon SRS there…not released yet so a lot of people got to test it out.
Next year they need a larger vendor tent. It was so packed in there I stood in place for 5 minutes without moving, and had to get out. I don’t like crowds or feeling trapped. That was both at the same time…:suicide2: I didn’t see anything new at the LT table though.

I didn’t pay for the shooter admission as it took forever to shoot 5 rounds last year. The lines where crazy back then so I thought I’d save myself the trouble. Surprisingly tho the lines didn’t look bad this year.
I didn’t get to check out the trijicon but had a chance to look thru the Leupold Mark 8 CQBSS and the Leupold VX-R Patrol 1.25-4, The CQBSS looks like it could be run over by a tank and still work but I really liked the VX-R, the Illuminated Firedot was very bright even in sunlight against bright backgrounds. Nice optic for $529.
Why pray tell?
CDH - thanks very much for the info. I have been looking at that Firedot system. I’m glad to hear about the the visibility of the daylight illumination.
No problem, I was planing on the Viper PST 1-4 or SWFA 1-4 for my next rifle but daylight illumination remains questionable. The Firedot is ‘almost’ like the S&B
Steve Fisher was running one in the Magpul Course in Tucson. It was pretty interesting. I think he has had it for a while and it seemed as if he had some positive things to say about it.
Did he let you comb some of his beard into a zip lock baggie? I hear it can cure all kinds of aliments if you boil them down into a tea…:haha::jester:
