He does, nothing wrong with teaching kids the right way to draw from concealment.

Hardest part is to get them to hold the gun in a vertical not horizontal position.

These days, you have to wonder if it's better to teach your kids about guns rather then let them find out the hard way.

Yep, best way to get rid of the "no kids left behind" program!

That's easily compensated with the correct sights.

Funnily, I'm not a gun guy so I was thinking of the vertical position such as shooting straight up.

In class we call that the "homie-9" position.

Dragging this back on topic, (kind of,) today we received a set of Airaya 5.8 gHz point to point bridges. Unlike the D-STINK stuff, these worked right the first time I powered them up. They were even pre-configured to talk to each other! The management interface was flawless, and at an rx level of -60 dBm, they were still passing an actual 30 mbits/second of traffic, with a drop to about 20 mbits/sec at -70 dBm.

Cost was around $1000 - $1200 per pair complete with 23dbi flat panel external antennas and a connectorized 25' of LMR-400 for each. (With NORMAL N connectors! NO RP crap!)

Now on to install and see how they hold up.

It's another nail in the D-Link coffin as far as I am concerned.

To drag it back off... Mount those puppies in the back windows of your stumbling rig! They're only what, 2.5 feet square?

What, stumble for 802.11a?

I suppose...

Crap, missed the 5Ghz part. My bad.

The antennas should still work for 2.4 wouldn't they?

No problem, Barry. I have a pair (actually 3 of them) in 2.4. But you better hurry, the snow is melting fast and the dogs will have a tough pull to get down here and back.

Forecast is for 80 degrees this weekend.

I guess I could mount a couple of them to the roll bar in the Jeep, drive along I-10, and stumble all of north Fla at one shot. They would not do much to the fantastic aerodynamics of a CJ. A brick with a sail is still a brick.

Been there, done that. JAX to Tallahassee. Granted, was with my travel kit, not the supersucker.

Well they would be side scanning, so as long as you didn't have a strong breeze from the gulf you'd probably be okay. Just don't do it in a hurricane.
