I just had an eccentric old Aussie bloke drop me off a couple
of well used and abused dosing rods to test and review_
He emphatically told me that "they work really well & I would be

its a hard one_I have a local guy that swears by them, however I have only seen
some subtle hints of one of his 'possibly working' on planted targets_
If memory serves me correctly, Makro used to advertise these (LRL's) with their

I don't know whether it is a natural progr

Does First Texas have a Marketing Manager Rick?
Please try to stay focused_I have simply stated that someone from ANY manufacturer
could put a lot of speculation to rest if they were pro-active in promoting their products
