In my experience it's hard to find a head-banger who knows anything about Zen.

Google Mas Oyama sometime.
If I can stay in a good Zen state at the range, I know I am gonna shoot well.


That's funny. My "Zen state" at the range is sometimes skewed by Dunkin Donuts Ice Coffee with turbo shots... :laugh:

Could be worse. I know a guy who swears that his shooting gets better when he has some alcohol before hand. :unsure:

Thankfully he only does that at his own private range.

I would ask him what he would like on his ice cream - and then share a cone with him as we sat beside the ocean and shared a view...

I have never been able to think of a single thing I would enjoy more if I was afforded the opportunity.

I am a firm believer in the fact that the only Zen you will find on the tops of mountains, is the Zen you bring up there with you - sometimes you just have to suffer a bit to find that the answers you needed were inside you all along.

The Dalai Lama does not have the answers I need to enjoy my life and appreciate my surroundings, I have found them and I can say he, among others, have played a role - and an ice cream enjoyed with such a man, would be an ice cream that would never truly melt and would be enjoyed and remembered forever.


I really like this notion..... He plays golf you know.... That's the only thing wrong with him..... I have a feeling he's a really nice guy.....

You are so right...... To shoot well you need to be very Muga Mushin.. For sure...... It's the zone...it's just a state of being.... Very calm.. Focused..... Performance motorcycle riding is the same thing........ No sense of mind or body.... You are just doing it......
