Widder, SASS #59054 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Google says that it takes approx .10 of a second to blink your eye. BUT..... if you really try to blink your eye about 5 to 7 times in a row, that's about all the blinks you can do in a second. Basically, I can blink my eyes in about .12 to .14 hundredths of a second. Thats only about 6 times. I got slow eyeballs. ..........Widder 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Coroner Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 And here I thought you were going to be talking about you and Red Knee going at it again at speed shotgun. :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 You're not counting reaction time. A single blink may take 0.10 seconds, but there is a tiny pause between blinks to activate the next blink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of this month, the TN State will be once again the place to be. BUT, this year, Red Knee ain't coming. But TWO other wiz kids will be there: Gut C Gunman and his younger brother, Skrap P. Gut C owns the 97 speed records for both the 4 shot and 6 shot runs. Skrap P is a tad faster with the 4 shots. BOTH of them are gunning for me. And since I retired from speed SG events about 4 years ago (before my heart surgery), I've lost a measurable amount of speed with my 97. And if Red Knee were to show up, he would probably beat me. He's as fast as 'A Blink of an Eye'. ..........Widder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His younger brother, Skrap P, beat him at speed shotgun at EOT recently. They are a formidable pair. But there are a handful of others that will be at the TN State that can turn a 97 into an automatic on any given day. To say the least, it could be very interesting at the Side Match Speed SG stage. ..........Widder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I might think the eye blink rate might increase when one is receiving Roadside Counseling from a LEO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
