I never did get over my ND. It ruined shooting for me. I used to shoot three or four times a week. After that I have been to the range maybe 5 times in two years. Its just not fun any more. I hope this does not happen to you. Do a seach for my story here on THR. Mine was worse than...

Not me! Getting sent right to a Gunsmith. I will never even lay hands on it. Not even my project!! Not taking any chances with federal pound me in the A** prison. Thank you very much.
