[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 44867, member: 25"] Somewhere there is a post where I suggested a bunch of basics and spare parts to order when buying an Oehler. The laser trick is simple. Just use a laser pointer (or one of those bore sighters if you have one). Measure your rear Skyscreen location at 10' from your muzzle. Then get a buddy to hold a piece of paper or cardboard at the rear skyscreen and place the laser at the muzzle, so it points parallel to the bore. The bottom of the cardboard is in line with the top of the skyscreen. When you fire the laser you will see exactly where the bullet's path will be, just move the screen-holders over, up down or whatever to ensure the bullet will be centered and a few inched over the screen. Works faster than it takes to type it. Then go to the front screen and repeat, and you are ready to start shooting. The 35P is as reliable as an anvil, I am confident you will enjoy yours. Get the printer, get some spare skyscreen bodies (I carry one complete skysceen assembly in each chrono kit). Get a 5$ level, a pair of plyers, a tape measure, spare batteries, spare pens and paper or notebook. I use big tool boxes with a closed cell liner to keep everything in place. Also get three spare diffusers and side brackets when you order, they get shot every so often. I use an elaborate system to hold and space my skyscreens - uses two Bogan camera tripods and a machined 1/2" rod that holds the skyscreens at exact intervals, never have to measure that. The rig is great, very adjustable, very expensive when you shoot it tho. [ 04-07-2004: Message edited by: Ian M ] [/QUOTE]
