When I get six shots with only two within measureing distance and they want to measure the group off of those two shots, I call BS. This too has happened at other shots. Of course the guys came back and originally said it had done great trying to get to me, but all I care about is getting a good piece of equipment in the hands of the shooter, I don't care who lmakes it. My problem is when junk is bought because someone has an unholy relationship with the manufacturer or it "appears to be" that way.

I was there for that demo, as was Peregrino.
I told the shooter (let's call him DM for short) that he should call it a day after he couldn't get it to hold 6" at the 200 yard line.
He refused, and Ed rode him like a borrowed pony. I do not believe that DM is with them any more.
