    techy guys, please read. looking for summer internship in tech field for sophomore college student.

    thanks goodrich, I also thought between jr and senior years was the more important time,, yet as I have been talking to a lot of folks in the industry, (recruiters, managers, etc) so many have been telling me that resume-wise, this summer was pretty important. to be honest, as a retired...

    and in retrospect, i shouldn't have done it that way. boomer mistake. son is just in last 3 weeks with finals looming, with one particularly tough class, so i was just figuring if the person liked the resume, then son could take it from there. i was just trying to save a step for him. oops.

    thanks,, I am going to have jason reach out! that is what is good about a internship, they are designed to make you more hirable for that company later on after you graduate. however, the smaller companies can't afford to take the initial risk of wasting time with a newbie sometimes.

    thanks for the kind words, sounds like my second "real" w2 job in my late teens, i was, among other things, a "hub hopper" , i would run in front of the blade and shoot grade with a hand level. sometimes the blade would hit a hidden manhole cover and i would have to go down into the live...

    Yes they do have a small department that does that supposedly however the reality is that they are not quite as dedicated and available as you might think

    this is just a last ditch effort after helping my 20 Y/O look for a summer internship this summer. apparently, 90% of getting one is who you know. I am a long time member on this forum, as well as accurate shooter, ARF, and long Range hunting. I am 60 y/o retired fire captain, NRA member...

    kestrel elite 5700 ab problems, what am i doing wrong

    update: i believe i have figured out why the kestrels were giving different solutions. now i am back to trying to figure out why all kestrel solutions are too low. i am going to play with some of the inputs again and see what happens,

    i have discovered that you are correct. i changed the wind and the kestrels are alike now.

    kestrel elite 5700 ab problems, what am i doing wrong

    i looked and it seems to have coriolis set on each rifle profile, so when i transferred them, it would have to be the same

    kestrel elite 5700 ab problems, what am i doing wrong

    i have a kestrel 5700 elite ab, sn#2160498. i have down loaded the latest firmware. i have had it for years, i used to be really into the precision rifle stuff. i bought the weather vane for it, etc. but it has always given me problems. but i think i am onto something finally. i've been getting...

    So who has done actual groups at 200 with a tavor?

    exactly. stock barrel might be a decently accurate barrel if it weren't for that weirdness. but,,, i still like it. i also looked into ways to make it float better and it became just too much of a project and i moved on

    So who has done actual groups at 200 with a tavor?

    that and suppressor blowback on them are my 2 biggest negatives,,otherwise, i really like my tavors. very stable to shoot off hand. i kept hoping someone would make a nice replacement match barrel for them but never found one. why they wouldn't put an adjustable gas block in them defies...

    So who has done actual groups at 200 with a tavor?

    i should have mentioned that most of all the 223 match ammo i tried in the tavors did very very well in my "precision" ar with a nice JP match barrel, the corbon and old ruag prime would shoot in that .5 ish moa range in a good barrel. the prvi 75 grain shot crappy in everything. however...

    So who has done actual groups at 200 with a tavor?

    ironically, i have had different results with the 556 tavor platform than your 308 version. i have 2 x 95's and the older version. i have tried many different ammo in mine, all 3 of them, trying to shoot "precision style" (bipod and rear bag) some with quality 5-25 scopes and lately...
