Louie,
You could always borrow Andrew's and try it, he has 1.
Also the 6th August sounds good for me, I will check with Andrew to see if he can make it. Gary Kopff won't be there, he will be checking out Houghy's new 9mm Nagler at Astrofest

no he wont. I asked the guy in the States not to send it until next week because I won't be here to get it. So I will have it when I get back from QA. But my nice Newly aquired 20mm Nagler will be getting a workout!
