    I posted about a week ago saying I needed help with zeroing my scope, and E.Shell offered to come and help.

    He drove an HOUR on a Sunday to come and watch me shoot, give me pointers and advice. He didn't accept any money, just a firm handshake. It felt really cool having someone as experienced as him giving me shooting advice. I learned a lot from my couple hours with him!

    Thanks a bunch E!

    I don’t even reload and love his posts about reloading because if the depth of knowledge he has.
    I asked him about shooting a long range match in cold weather and the effects of temperature on my ammo and dope. Not only did he respond, it was a full page of technical information that I printed out and keep in my long range bag.
    Ed is top notch.

    It's a rare individual that can combine truly extensive knowledge, with both the genuine desire and the elusive ability to communicate and teach what they know.

    A number of folks possess one such trait. Some fewer number of others will possess two.

    Read his posts here, and you'll come to realize that E. Shell possesses all three traits.

    Sounds like a good day OP! We're all the better for his presence on this board.

    I attended one of his long range workshops several years ago. He's very knowledgeable, able, & above all, a good man.

    So what was the issue with zeroing? Don't leave me (us?) hanging please.

    What range were you guys shooting at today? I was working at Cresap today, and there was an older gentleman there giving lots of pointers. He was insanely knowledgeable and I learned a good bit today just from listening to him talk to the younger shooter.
