Hi to everybody, I am an ex Israeli IDF soldier I participated in the Six Day War and the Yom Kippur War. I am living here in the Pacific NW for the last 35 years.

I am a life member of the NRA and the Seattle Police Athletic Association and I am a US Citizen.

Also I am very Conservative and a Republican. I lean Libertarian in some ways and Republican conservative in other ways.

I used to compete in IPSC, IDPA, Trap and Skeet competitions and used to hunt a lot but I do not compete or hunt anymore, instead i shoot a lot of pistol and rifle and also ski and ride bicycles as often as my time and weather permits.

I do not currently belong to any other forums and have no intention of joining any others as of now, BTW I have followed Doc GKR's posts in other forums and I have great respect for his opinions on ballistics.

Thanks

Dragon Slayer:D

Welcome to the madness. Still kicking myself for not joining the IDF back when I was 18 many years ago.

Shalom,

Hello and welcome DS, my brother is a Israeli citizen, he played "pro"basketball in Israel for many years. His Wife lost her first Husband during one of the wars,(I apologize for not knowing which one). They have two Sons together and he loves it there. I plan to travel there someday, but promised the Wife we would go to Australia first.

I used to ride the trails off of the MSR (main service road) and ended at the bridge, right before you enter Officer Country. Are those trails still there?

Great respect to all who have fought in the IDF. My father is Brooklynese, BTW.
Yes, Dr. Roberts is an outstanding source for terminal ballistics.
Have you tried getting Dr. Fackler's articles? I highly recommend them.
Welcome aboard, Sir.

Yes I am very familiar with all the ballistic studies and also some done by David Di Fabio. 34 years of deep interest in all firearms and ballistics is what I had an interest in and it has evolved greatly listening to the right people.;)

Thank you for your compliment I was just a private in both wars and very young and believe me it was my pleasure that we prevailed if not it would have been our own lives on the line.

If not for men like you, Israel would not be here today. G-d bless you. :)
