Can't agree more with that sentiment. You guys are doing a great job.

Thank you Zaltys

I was born and raised in Germany and moved to England when I was only 10 years old, growing up in Europe I never really felt presence of gun ownership. That is until I moved to Canada where I started seriously getting interested in short range carbine drills and long range precision shooting. Time to get an RPAL! For the folks that don't live in Canada, in this country you are required to apply for a firearms license called a PAL or RPAL (Possession and Acquisition License and Restricted Possession and Acquisition License for two class of firearms, in short PAL covers rifles and shotguns and RPAL covers handguns and certain semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15). The process of attaining my RPAL took roughly one year, including two written exams and two practical exams. Once you have proof of completion of your PAL/RPAL course you are required to fill out a lengthy form that discusses your history in terms of spouses/alcohol and drug use/crimes you may have been charged for in the past and so on. Once this has been completed you may purchase firearms! But wait! You said you want to actually discharge your handgun? Not so fast. Now it's time to find a range you like and take the ATT course (Authorization to Transport course) which is essentially the RPAL all over again, once you pass their exam you are also required to go on 4 probationary shoots with the ROs at that particular range to demonstrate proficiency. I'm happy to report that I've almost jumped through all the hoops as I've successfully completed my 9mm accuracy test this past Friday. Once all probationary shoots are completed you will receive your ATT which is your permission to bring your restricted firearms to your range. Once I received my PAL I immediately purchased two rifles. One Savage bolt-action and one Daniel Defense M4 Carbine (No regrets ;)). Here they are: http://www32.speedyshare.com/RdXdU/download/IMG-0871s.JPG I finally had a change to get some practice at the range, on my first day I put around 75 rounds through the Savage and I loved every minute of it! So without further adieu here is the first grouping I ever shot after the RO helped me zero the Savage. http://www32.speedyshare.com/GVeVH/download/IMG-0864s.JPG It's somewhat hard to read but I ended up shooting just under 2MOA (1 3/4). It's safe to say that I'm officially hooked for life on long range shooting. I'd love to hear from others who are also interested in shooting and long range shooting in particular. Also if you're Canadian and are interested in shooting and you DON'T have your PAL please don't get discouraged, that is the entire idea behind all of this useless legislation, I guarantee you will not regret it and maybe even learn a few things on the way. ;)

I love how you made this video, and even a promo picture for the thread! A neat little package! Good stuff :)

Love this thing!

Bartender here :)

Yes, it will work fine :)

Can't agree with you more, After! The perfect combination indeed! :)

You're welcome, KillerSam! Welcome to the forums, I'm sure others will chime in with some more suggestions :)

I'm certainly no expert at air-to-air refueling so take this with a grain of salt. Looking at your track two things are obvious to me: One, you are in a hurry to get it done! Impatient And two, your stick inputs seem to be too aggressive. Try staying behind the tanker with the entire aircraft in your view, and trimming to level flight, then crawling up with about 1-3% throttle increase keeping your eyes always on the tanker. Once you are in position, try to keep a mental image of what the tanker should look like in your window and try to keep that. I would also suggest turning your curves to to 25-30, it makes a huge difference for the first time, as you get better you can turn it down. Some other things to think about: Always be very precise and use small amounts of input, keep in mind there is 'lag' on the throttle. Try to 'think ahead', if it feels like you're falling behind, immediately add power, but again we're talking about small amounts (1-3% as mentioned before). Also don't "chase the boom", try to keep in flight with the tanker

Thanks Wags! :)

Hey, thanks for the reply Mastiff. I know I need the FC3 module but I'm wondering if I can use the digital download in my link since the original Lock On is required to play FC3.

I want to buy FC3 to support ED, can I use this digital download instead of using a physical CD to install? http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubina/en_CA/pd/ThemeID.8605600/productID.225065800 Thanks :)

Great interview, Matt! I think I'm dreaming, though... Su-27SM, F/A-18C and an F-15C? Insanity! :megalol:

Great video!
