Spoilers! Obviously! I’m going to address the largest flaw in the sequel trilogy – Rey’s origin. Although her being a descendant of Palpatine is a good twist, it fails to tie into any of the previous movies and just burdens the viewer with unseen exposition. At no point was there ever any mention of or […]

Dubai World Record – Week 2
December 16th, 2013 · No Comments · Grucci, Personal
Post by Drew Sikora. So this past week I finally moved out from the staging area on The Palm crescent to the World Islands, where we’ve been putting together the massive amounts of product we have over there. We get there via a boat, which we dub “the mothership” that is a speedboat usually around […]

Finally got back to the range yesterday since last month and acquiring several new pieces of kit for the AR, shown in the image above. To start, I got a very basic sling from Dick’s for like $15 because I kept trying to find one online and couldn’t figure out what kind of sling to […]

Been a while since the last time I visited the shooting range – I was digging out of my pack ammo I had bought back at the beginning of July! Weather was cool but muggy out with tropical moisture moving in from the south, the wind was barely a breeze and the sun stayed behind […]

The library at the time of this picture and post numbers 334 pieces of literature (all in chronological order) I was a young reader, so although I was only 10 years old when Timothy Zahn’s “Heir to the Empire” came out it was only a few years later that I picked it up and started […]

Outdoor Archery Range
August 26th, 2013 · No Comments · Personal
Well I finally got around to setting up the range outside. It only took me all summer, but given my penchant for procrastination it’s not very surprising. At all. Anyways, I deviated some from my original plan since it turned out to be more of a hassle to gather up tires than I figured it […]

Biking to work (with my legs)
August 1st, 2013 · No Comments · Personal
Lost my drivers license for the third time in July, but I don’t really care to go there. Long story short, I managed to delay the suspension so it took effect during the warmer time of the year for a change and thus instead of having to bother my father, mother or sister for a […]

We had a massive heatwave this past week and it broke on Saturday. I got my license back on Friday so decided to celebrate with a trip to the range. I was accompanied by my stunt buddy Bobby and his wife Ewelina (both pictured above). While the heat was only in the 80’s there was […]
Range Report

As planned, I hit the range early Saturday morning and spent 3 hours shooting. I did some more prone, sitting and standing drills at 50 yards with the 1-6x scope. As usual I was dead-on while prone but still have trouble with sitting and standing because it’s hard to support the rifle properly. I think […]
