Seems kind of odd to me that the top barrel is Magna ported -- or some other type of porting. I suppose you could port the bottom barrel, but it seems to me it would make an big mess on the outside of the top barrel. I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

I think it's at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3hX2bfOloY I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

So perhaps the college simply thought its program was redundant, given the local environment and opportunities. ALL college sports programs except football and basketball are money losers. Lots of tinfoil hatters around here nowadays. You may be right about why ENMU dropped its shooting program, but I'm not too sure about your tinfoil hat statement. MY hats are all made of straw or beaver fur. I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

Standard gratuitous, sound-byte brush-off of all college-level academia. Anyhow, I look forward to your solid information. I have searched for a good while today, and can't find anything about it. The NCAA page for ENMU formerly had a shooting team listed, as shown in cached pages, but the current one does not. Honestly, the thing that bothered me most wasn't the loss of the shooting team at ENMU, it was the suddenness they went about it, and the total lack of any venue for discussion. It was presented as a "done deal". About 2/3 through one semester, the announcement was made that the team would not exist the next semester. I spoke to several students that were on shooting scholarships, and they were really in an awful position, trying to find another school to get a shooting scholarship from, on such short notice. I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

Not intended to say anything other than the university doesn't match up with the local population. I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

Not sure why ENMU dropped the program, but I'll see if I can find out. ENMU seems to be a VERY liberal institution, so I've always suspected their motives. Honestly, I don't know how they stay in business in this part of the country with such a liberal slant. One of the mysteries of life, I suppose. "Magic bullet"! I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

I haven't really noticed anybody "riled up" about anything in this thread, just a few people asking questions -- so why your statement re: anger management? I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

I know this thread is about Cornell, but let me state this -- as I understand it, a nearby university (Eastern New Mexico University) completely killed their shooting program a few years ago. No warning, no thought it was going to happen, just a sudden message that the program was over and students on a shooting scholarship had less than one semester to find a school willing to award them a scholarship to continue with their college career. This is NOT a private school, BTW. I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

I think I was there at one time, using -- uh -- was it MRC??? I quit even reading that page when some chick from Texas A&M went off on me and I figured she was totally insane. I didn't want any part of it after that. I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

You know, Andy -- I lurk here from time to time, and I usually dislike your opinions. But you're correct on this point -- the United States Constitution doesn't say anything about citizens, it refers to persons, men, people, etc. I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

Well, you seem to be going on the "nice" route. If that doesn't work, you could always try a couple of Cibie Oscars. I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

Or a bumper sticker. I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

Somehow I can't see him flapping his arms to gain altitude, so that leaves -- landing "out", and possibly even in the lake. Are LEO's not responsible for knowing all aspects of whatever "law" (or not a law?) they are going to "enforce"? This whole thing sounds like "they went off half-cocked". I would have been happier with him going through a trial, being found "not guilty", and then suing this group out of existence. I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

I haven't explored this much, but you might try http://web.archive.org/web/20070707182248/http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=3454 I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

My perfect DZ would be that little grass strop where I learned to skydive in 1978. It was called Big Daddy's, was just outside of Goldsboro, NC, had a seafood restaurant -- a GOOD one -- on the field! Two Cessna 182's. Of course, it would also have 1978 prices! And, the only change I would make is that the DZ would own the airport and the land around it. Am I mistaken, or did I just describe the Lincoln SPC, except with Twotters???? I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

Better yet -- Can anyone explain to me if any of the new gun laws being discussed are expected to prevent mass shootings or simply make the liberals feel better over restricting my rights? I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

Forget 911, 1911 is a much better option in the face of an immediate threat. 0311 trumps it! I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

Well, there really isn't a selection for what I want to express -- Wear it, or not, any way you like. If somebody asks about it, tell them anything you wish. I would suggest you not lie to someone you care about, though. It's YOUR life, so live it YOUR way. I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

If someone is coming at you with a firearm, your life is already changed, their is no way around it. The only question after that is "What are my options now?" Me personally, I like the options that will most allow me to come out of the situation alive. I agree with you, I want that option, too! But that isn't what I'm talking about. Look at what she says -- "If we should ever face a shooter like the one in Connecticut, I'm fully prepared to respond with my firearm." She has NO idea what it's like to look at another person through the sights. I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

"Hansen" is taking this too lightly. Any time you have to respond with a firearm, know that your life is about to change forever. It isn't necessarily a good thing. I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

If you get the right container, a Para Commander will fit nicely. Thirty years ago, I had a Wonderhog with a PC and a 24' flat reserve. Worked good -- even the "little" reserve let me down OK. I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

Thank you Mr. Cole and crew -- I'd like to second that motion. At this time of year, let's try to forget all the bad and live in all the good! Merry Christmas! I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

Dunno, but if there's NO chance of getting out, then perhaps we need to keep safety belts on, even up through 10K or higher. I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

Thanks, all. I didn't mean to "rehash old arguments", it just struck me odd and I decided to ask. What's interesting to me, is that -- even though the JM/Coach will refuse to let somebody make an emergency exit at a thousand feet, we still call out "THOUSAND FEET" when we climb through that altitude. I got a chuckle from putting that all together! I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

Paradactyls & PZ-81 parachutes are a lot of fun, but be prepared... I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.
