Michael Soon to be Back in Real World...

[Michael Bane]

...or as much in the Real World as I ever am!

One more day of filming — the Steel Challenge "Fastest Man Alive" competition — today, then I'm home for THREE WHOLE DAYS!

I'll be a lot more visible when I get home.

Handicappers are now evenly split over whether we give away the money in the OUTDOOR CHANNEL/Sigarms $30,000 80-Second Challenge. Hey, I got a big check...I'm good to go...

Sounds like you gained some weight out there in CA land.   

[Michael Bane]

You know, given that I ate every meal out, I probably DID gain weight! Back to the bike! And the rowing machine in my office.

Pretty cool at the Steel Challenge (although this AM I have to inform my employers that we gave away $20K! over the weekend!). My color commentary Mickey Fowler, certainly one of the greatest competition shooters ever, said that Max Michel's performance on Five To Go was the single most flawless stage he had ever seen in his years of competition. It was art.

Had new Aimpoints — including a Micro — waiting for me when I got home...cool! I'm mounting the M-4 on the impending Stag carbine I'm going to be using in a couple of classes. The Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T is moving to the J.P. Enterprises super rifle. I'm halfway thinking of building an Open gun using the Micro...depends on how much "spare" money I have lying around (which right now doesn't look promising)...

Anyway, GREAT to be home!

I will be doing a public appearance at the DUCKS UNLIMITED FESTIVAL in Oshkosh, WI, this Friday..so COME BY if you can!

Darn, I was hoping you'd swing buy my area (only an 8 hour drive from OhGosh) and film me taking my defensive shotgun class.

Michael,

I'll be curious to see how that M-4 holds up. I had a class with Pat Rogers about a week a ago and he was shooting a M-4 on his carbine and the integrated mount came loose. Pat made a comment that sometimes it really is the equipment that's the problem and that Freddie Blish was going to be getting a call later that day.

For what it's worth, I think LaRue Tactical is already working on a replacement mount.

[Michael Bane]

I'm interested in the durability of that mount as well...we'll see. I've got a La Rue QD on the M2 on my S&W, and it is a workhorse.

BTW, did I mention how blown away I was shooting a Micro Galil? MUCH nicer gun to shoot than an Uzi in a similar-sized package.

Great little buzz gun!

Something else I can't have...
