Looks pretty cool. Can't wait to see the finished product.

My club has some new equipment called ShotMarker that electronically tracks your shots and displays them on your device. This makes running a rifle match much quicker and easier since you don't need to manually check targets.

So while I already do a lot of pistol shooting, I may finally learn to shoot a rifle and maybe read the wind a little bit. This 5-shot group at 300 yards comes in at roughly 3.25". While I was pretty happy with it, it is pretty much crap for the guys who know what they are doing and would be putting all these shots inside a half dollar.

Cost and how do I get one?

Edit: I see one for $800. Sound right?

Here are a few updated pictures of the flag. The hard part begins with etching out the Union. Fingers crossed it comes out ok.

Well, I've actually finished a chapter of some of my Pokemon fanfiction!

That looks amazing.

Instead if getting work done I worked on the flag. And yes I have @Mojo Ram hanging on my wall.

$800 sounds about right. Tons of vids if you search for Shotmarker.

It looks amazing. I could nitpick a bit and say that since it is supposed to look like it is rippling in the wind that maybe it shouldn't be perfectly rectangular.

Great job. As the husband and son of professional artists, my only suggestion is that it shouldn't be framed. I would instead suggest blacking the edges and leave it unframed. It appears that not only is the frame unnecessary, but it IMO takes away from your craftsmanship and makes it look a little too formal. Take this with a grain of salt. Eye of the beholder and all. Bottom line though. I love the work.

Appreciate the feedback, you too @CeeZar .

Sent the photo to a buddy. A soldier he works with purchased it today. I took $250.00 for it. Most fun I’ve had working for minimum wage. Totally worth it.

Made another flag this weekend. They go for 400-500 on line. So I’m upping my price to 350.00. Have this one sold already. May be my mini business over the winter.

Nice. How long does it take you to make one of those? Are you selling them on Etsy? https://www.etsy.com/

About 8-10 hours with the waves. No waves it’s about 5. I haven’t tried on Etsy , is that easy to do?

Made a new flag this week. Stained all the perimeter ends. No frame on this one.

 

[Neil039]

Last flag photo…sold two more and 2 chairs. Gotta find new things to make.

Made some Red Oak, Walnut, and Maple cutting boards. Takes longer to glue/dry than the rest of the work.
