    I'm not on any "side", nor asking anyone else to be, I only posted a facetious poll to poke a little fun at all of us. It's good to see that there are at least three or four others left on this site who don't take themselves too seriously, but the rest, oh my. Things get very tense around here every single year in February, and if this thread didn't make light of that, I don't know what will.

    I forsee WILCO polling to see if Gear is permitted any further sarcastic polls.
    You will learn far more at the casting, loading, and shooting bench than you ever will at a computer bench.

    I think you actually get my whole point....except that I intended you be rewarded by a chuckle over the the irony instead of it making you grumpy.

    Seems like people are punchy across the board lately, must be the weather!

    I was starting to wonder if I was wasting time reading this thread, but I just found out how to change the color for text.

    Shoulder is doing well, saw surgeon Friday & am OK'd to start therapy tomorrow so am right on track so far, hoping to be back in action before summer. Thanks for asking!

    I assume that shooting .22 rimfire is a planned part of the PT?

    Oh yeah, have stashed plenty of .22 CMP ammo saved up for just such an occasion!
    I know a lot of people aren't crazy about the "lead sled" but I've used it before when I had a partial tear in this shoulder before, and it's great for that, I'll be able to work with that before I shoot without it.
