I do hope you find remedy for your headaches.

Thank you, I am sure that it will get solved.

It is interesting though, the headaches come when storms come in (READ: Low Pressure Events). If I go shooting, the overpressure events from rounds being fired help to eliminate some or all of the headaches. The doctors do not have an answer to that yet, but I know it works (as long as I catch it in time). I went and got a simple mini weather station that tracks the pressure over the past 12 hours, along with indoor/outdoor temp and humidity. It seems fairly accurate compared to wunderground.com local sites, which I have been using to track info in what is called a "headache journal" (which showed me it was related to weather changes).

Interesting... if you need more pressure, stand next to someone shooting a big rifle instead of actually firing it yourself. My cousin used to have a professional ordinance carbon 15... and for wahtever reason, the concussion from that thing was unbelievable for a .223... (I think that's what you mean by "high pressure is the concussion, no?)

Precisely. Shooting my Saiga .308 Winchester 16.2" Barrel provides plenty of pressure wave/overpressure events!

Well then, perhaps you can get your ammo prescribed, and covered by insurance? :D



I also like!!! Great idea.. haha... Take 10 .50BMG and call me in the morning... ;)




Q doesn't have the hair for it, but it seems like this may be enough over-pressure...

Getting back on track someone should put together a new sticky on the basics of Michigan OC for the MGO site when it's up again. They may have lost all posts. The MSP updates, rinse wash repeat, a few other applicable statues, the advantages of OC, etc., would be a good start. Have some good info ready and posted then close the thread would be good. A chance to start anew and with good info.

Also an OC experience thread would benefit the MGO OC page.

Well, whatever the reason for the outage, their hosting definitely sucks. I agree with what others have said on here, they need some new hosting. I've had hosting with lots of companies but the best experiences I've had have been through LiquidWeb (but expensive for what we host), Dreamhost (decent value), and iPower (shared servers, but great value).

I didn't realize how much I was on that website until it went down. I'm not sure about all of you, but I'll be looking for a donate button next ime their website is up so they can hopefully get better hosting. I've heard other people say their website goes down a lot, so they should probably look in to it before someone else creates a website for the same purposes that are more reliable.

Just a side note, is the MGO website a for-profit or a non-profit deal? Anyone know?
