Real Time Targets

To hum it may concern; (“Rough draft” new video)
We have developed a product (target) and (shooting) system that works like nothing the world has ever seen. Have a look; it is something that can be offered to beginners to quickly become proficient and a way for advanced shooters to get some inexpensive quality trigger time; food for thought. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-WozXb2qaM
Thank you for your time

My brother and I will be at the Billings, MT - Gun Show - Fri-Sat-Sun at Metra Park come by and say Hi.

This is my brother Doug's last hunter of the year as a guide. Tomorrow is the last day of the season so he's going after the big one as a hunter. Reportedly a 7X7 (white tail) with a huge rack of black horns. Seriously or at least as serious as my brother gets!!!! He has had a couple of his hunters get a shot at this (to this point) mythical deer but reportedly only shot a hole in the ground in front of them and where unable to talk for the rest of the day after the encounter. I may drive over tonight and bird dog for him tomorrow, if he doesn't get him this evening.
Happy Holidays
--Rocky--

Its cold outside this morning, the ground is white with snow and some days I need something to put a little pep in my step. So I went to my documents file and pulled up my favorite read, this only take a few minutes. It doesn’t have anything to do with shooting but if it does for you what it does for me I think you will enjoy it.
Have a good day

God vs Science

"Let me explain the problem science has with religion."
The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand.

'You're a Christian, aren't you, son?'

'Yes sir,' the student says.

'So you believe in God?'

'Absolutely '

'Is God good?'

'Sure! God's good.'

'Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?'

'Yes'

'Are you good or evil?'

'The Bible says I'm evil.'

The professor grins knowingly. 'Aha! The Bible! He considers for a moment. 'Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?'

'Yes sir, I would.'

'So you're good...!'

'I wouldn't say that.'

'But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't.'

The student does not answer, so the professor continues. 'He doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Can you answer that one?'

The student remains silent. 'No, you can't, can you?' the professor says. He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax. 'Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?'

'Er..yes,' the student says.

'Is Satan good?'

The student doesn't hesitate on this one.. 'No.'

'Then where does Satan come from?'

The student falters. 'From God'

'That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?'

'Yes, sir.'

'Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything, correct?'

'Yes'

'So who created evil?' The professor continued, 'If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil.'

Again, the student has no answer. 'Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, do they exist in this world?'

The student squirms on his feet. 'Yes.'

'So who created them ?'

The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his question. 'Who created them?' There is still no answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is mesmerized. 'Tell me,' he continues onto another student. 'Do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?'

The student's voice betrays him and cracks. 'Yes, professor, I do.'

The old man stops pacing. 'Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?'

'No sir. I've never seen Him.'

'Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?'

'No, sir, I have not.'

'Have you ever felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ, or God for that matter?'

'No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't.'

'Yet you still believe in him?'

'Yes'

'According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn't exist... What do you say to that, son?'

'Nothing,' the student replies.. 'I only have my faith.'

'Yes, faith,' the professor repeats. 'And that is the problem science has with God. There is no evidence, only faith.'

The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a question of His own. 'Professor, is there such thing as heat? '

' Yes.

'And is there such a thing as cold?'

'Yes, son, there's cold too.'

'No sir, there isn't.'

The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested. The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to explain. 'You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit down to 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees. Everybody or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat. You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.'

Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom, sounding like a hammer.

'What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as darkness?'

'Yes,' the professor replies without hesitation. 'What is night if it isn't darkness?'

'You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light, but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use to define the word. In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?'

The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him. This will be a good semester. 'So what point are you making, young man?'

'Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed.'

The professor's face cannot hide his surprise this time. 'Flawed? Can you explain how?'

'You are working on the premise of duality,' the student explains. 'You argue that there is life and then there's death; a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought.' 'It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it.' 'Now tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?'

'If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes, of course I do.'

'Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?'

The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he realizes where the argument is going. A very good semester, indeed.

'Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a preacher?'

The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the commotion has subsided. 'To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, let me give you an example of what I mean.' The student looks around the room. 'Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor's brain?' The class breaks out into laughter. 'Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's brain, felt the professor's brain, touched or smelt the professor's brain? No one appears to have done so... So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, with all due respect, sir.' 'So if science says you have no brain, how can we trust your lectures, sir?'

Now the room is silent. The professor just stares at the student, his face unreadable. Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers. 'I Guess you'll have to take them on faith.'

'Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists with life,' the student continues. 'Now, sir, is there such a thing as evil?' Now uncertain, the professor responds, 'Of course, there is. We see it Everyday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in The multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil.'

To this the student replied, 'Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.'

The professor sat down.

If you read it all the way through and had a smile on your face when you finished, mail to your friends and family with the title 'God vs. Science'

P.S: The student was Albert Einstein .

Albert Einstein wrote a book titled
' God vs. Science ' in 1921....

Simply explained another way!
I was set up at my booth during the gun show in Sheridan, Wyoming Friday afternoon when this middle aged gentleman walked up and wanted to know “What a Huckleberry Target was”? I said let me show you and proceeded with my usual description of how the target works, and all the ways that you can use the target to practice different shots. Pointing out the value of the instant feedback from the miss indicator lights as well as the ways and value of training/practicing with the built in timer/clock feature. As I finished talking about the value of having the auto resetting timer/clock on the target the gentleman kind of got a glazed over look on his face and was obviously in deep thought so I stop talking for a moment and let him work on his thoughts. Then he told me his interpretation of how he saw the value of our Target. He said “you know, all my life, I have gone to the range to practice my shooting skills and all my life I have walked out, set up cans or clipped a paper target on a track, pushed a button to send the paper target down range. Then, when I get everything just right I take a shot, but I always decide when to take the shot. In real life the target; buck deer jumps up in front of me, pheasant flies up, gopher pops his head out, a bad guy comes through the door…… in real life the target determines when to take the shot, and I either miss or don’t get a shot off because I’m not ready and I’m not ready because I haven’t practiced shooting at a target that determines when I need to shoot.” He got the concept and the value of training/practicing with our system; he sold himself on our system. He bought a Pro Kit and was so excited to go home and practice with his new shooting system I barely had time to thank him for his purchase. So, to all of you I meet this weekend,
Thank you for your time

As indicated from a couple of phone calls generated from yesterday post there is still some confusion out there as to how our system works. More specifically how our targets work. In short our “Huckleberry” Target works with impact sensors. The 7 inch octagon, target shooting surface is a 3/16 hardened steel surface, on the backside of this steel octagon are impact sensors. (Similar to the impact sensor in your automobile that set off the air bags) As the lead pellet from an air gun slams into this hardened steel shooting surface a shockwave travels through the steel and triggers the sensor and a computer circuit board receives the signal from the impact sensor and turns on the corresponding LED indicator light. This all happens more or less at the speed of light. As the inventor of this target it is all very simple to me but MANY TIMES in doing live demonstration we have had people call “bull sh*t” they cannot believe what they are seeing and think that we are somehow bushing a button under the table or some were to turn the lights on. It’s pretty funny but they are totally convinced. So I will ask them to sit down and take a shot, I ask them to place a shot in some direction a few inches from the bulls-eye and I will tell them which direction they missed. They will take a shot and obviously a light will instantly come on in the direction they missed. I have no way of knowing where they are going to hit the target. They shoot, I see the light come on and call the shot; high, low, left, right….. Like I said it’s pretty funny because about 80% of the time they walk away thinking they just saw a REALLY GOOD magic show. I love it because laughter is good for you.
Have a good day,

Real time Targets LLC, in the first couple of years of our new company, my brother and I have done hundreds of presentations and demonstrations (closing in on 200K rounds) with our product and have gotten product feed back at every turn. It has become quite obvious that the vast majority of people that have seen our product, even tried and in some cases bought our product, don’t get it, or understand what it’s all about. Most people think we’re selling toy guns and a carnival target. “AN ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM” So in an effort to help folks with a better understanding of what we’re all about let me try a KISS. (Keep It Stupid Simple) It’s all about the PRACTICE.
First of all, everyone wants a target that they can shoot with their 300 magnum, or their .22. I have come to believe that the reason for this is that we are critters of habit. The average person goes out to a range or someplace safe to shoot several times a year. They will burn through a couple hundred rounds of .22 and a half a box of 300 Magnums (about 10) maybe a few more if they remembered to bring their lead sled. (It hurts) Most of these shots, if not all, are taken from a bench or a supported position. This is what they call practice.
As a baseball coach of some 13 years I can tell you that going to the batting cage (baseball) or driving range (golf) several times a year is not practice it is simply entertainment with a light workout involved. Even several times a month is not going to get it done, you need to practice several times a week and obviously (KISS) every day or several times a day is better.
But who has the time or money to practice their shooting skills every day or even several times a week? That’s where Real Time Targets comes in. It can be set up quickly and in a lot of places; car garages, basements, workshops, back yards….. And cost about 1/5th the cost of shooting a .22 at today’s prices. (If you can find ammo to buy) KISS so you can have better practice, more places, more often, much safer and for much less. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGmZ9_P72bs&feature=c4-overview&list=UUdOySH60qCvKkH_Y_gzJi5Q
So, while we’re talking about PRACTICE let me ask you; does your baseball bat need practice, how about your golf clubs? Then the KISS question would be, does your 300 Magnum need practice? I have never seen a baseball bat, golf club, shot gun, pistol or rifle of any kind that NEEDED PRACTICE! Practice is for the person that wants to become proficient with one of these tools. Further more you will not become proficient, with any of these tools and or stay that way, without practice.
As a baseball coach I did not like my players to practice without me being present, because if they were doing something wrong they were only practicing bad habits. If they wanted to go to the hitting cage they were to call me and if I was not available they were to practice their hitting with a wood bat. Now, for those of you that do not know this, hitting with a wood bat is a lot harder than hitting with an aluminum bat. If you are doing something wrong with your swing, (In most cases, if you didn’t hit the ball with close to the proper swing, it hurts) that wood bat will let you know instantly. Well the Huckleberry Target, with the instant feedback from the target does the same thing, it just doesn’t hurt. It’s like practicing with a shooting coach there with you on every shot. KISS can you think of a better way to practice?
With shooting practice, what exactly are you practicing? Well there are four basics that I believe need to be practiced during ever practice session with every shot. Those are: Safe gun handling, site picture, trigger control and follow through. Safe gun handling cannot be over practiced and if you don’t know how, please, get someone to show you. Site picture is the same for a .22, 223 or 308 and yes even an air gun. If your gun is sited in, the site picture is where the bullet is going to hit. Trigger control is the art of pulling the trigger when the site picture is right or without changing or moving the site picture. (Yes, I do mean PULL the trigger. Once you learn to PULL the trigger you will never squeeze a trigger again) see; stopping the clock on our web site, “Training” video at www.realtimetargets.com The Huckleberry Target will teach you to PULL the trigger. Follow through is nothing more than proper trigger control and staying with the shot or shooting with a purpose. (Baseball talk: don’t swing at the ball, swing through the ball.) KISS don’t shoot at the bulls-eye shoot through the bulls-eye.
Oh, sure you can go to golf pro and take lessons and you can go to a fire arms instructor or even a two or three day training camp but you still need to practice. While putting a baseball on a tee and taking a swing has its place, you still need to learn to hit live pitching and a curve ball. Same with shooting, bench and supported shooting positions are better than nothing but the shot that is probably going to save your life when that bad guy comes through the door or that bear charges down the trail is “shoulder, aim and fire”. With the built in clock or “timer” lights on the Huckleberry Target this shot can be practiced over and over and with regular practice and a “shooting coach with you on every shot” (instant results) you will get faster and faster, quicker than you ever thought possible. The reason for this is simple; KISS because the brain gets the information “instantly” it needs to make adjustments.
We have been told you can’t practice with a toy gun “pellet gun”! Fact: a lot of competitive .22 shooters have an exact replica of their competition gun made in a pellet gun, because practicing with NO recoil and LESS noise is well known to be the best practice. KISS ever heard of dry fire practice? Well the only thing that would make dry fire practice better would be if you could instantly see the results of your shot. See a “Huckleberry Target in action” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reBt05xIzQQ&feature=c4-overview&list=UUdOySH60qCvKkH_Y_gzJi5Q
Real Time Targets has researched the air gun industry and found one rifle and one pistol that for feel, function and accuracy are what we believe the best practice guns on the market. Combine either or both of these guns with a “Huckleberry” interactive target that gives you instant on target display on every shot and an auto resetting timer and they will give you the best shooting PRACTICE the shooting world has to offer. Oh and yes, it is fun.
Taking batting practice is about practicing your swing because it’s your swing, not the bat. Shooting practice is for the shooter to work on site picture, trigger control and follow through, not the gun, loud noises, flinching and spending lots of money.
Thank you for your time

The Quote of the Decade:

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt
limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US
Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend
on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our
Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt
weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that,
'the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of
bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren.
America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans
deserve better."

~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006
