Welcome to E D Skinner's Website

I am a Christian Open Theist. That means I have a powerful belief in the example, message and role of Christ, and that I believe God gave us true Free Will, that the future is not pre-ordained, that to a very large extent, what happens is up to us.

I travel for a living. My job often sends me out on a Monday and home again on Friday but sometimes there’s a Sunday “out” or a Saturday “back” day.

The Learning Process takes place in a couple of radically different phases.

I’ve made some good progress this year. In my 2006 New Year’s resolution I said that “it will be nice to climb out of the Marksman ranks this year” and, effective 05/23/2006, I formally started competing in the Sharpshooter classification as per the NRA.

The Problem After loading several hundred rounds of ammunition not too long ago, I then discovered that two primers had been seated sideways and one upside down.

I tested my two 1911s, the ball gun and the wadder, on a Ransom Rest today.
