Old Timers, How's your Re-action ?
« on: September 30, 2010, 09:57:23 AM »
The driving manual says the average driver's
reaction time is:  
   .75 seconds.... or 1 car length for every 10 mph...

Test your average reaction time.   My score was a 0.1905 rocketing rabbit

Be very careful this can be addictive.

I know 20 years ago I could have hung with the cheetahs, but now, all I can muster is Bobby Bobcat. :(

I guess I should slow down my driving. I still like to go a bit over posted speed limit. So I got a speeding ticket yesterday. Kind of ruins your day when you have to shell out $109 for a speeding ticket. I had excuses, but I just shut my yap. I'm sure the lady cop didn't care to hear them.
 Maybe with my Bobby Bobcat reaction time, its time to slow down. Although speeding tickets kind of make you do that.

 i don t ever leave the house driving without saying my drivers prayer..

out there somewhere is an accident waitin to happen..my wife taught me the wisdom of just driveing the speed limit.. this unless condition,, call for driveing slower..
 may god help me to see that kid running after his pet or a ball.i may make some driver mad as i slow while driving past a person on a bike or walking on the side of the road..this, an also the impaired driver or just one in too much of a hurry..following too close causes more wrecks than any other thing ,i know of..

Richard, you are suppose to take the average of all 5 sheep.
Not just the one hit the fastest!!!  :D
Good reactions.


Me, .187
There are 5 reasons why I didn't do better.

1-my mouse is to slow
2-I always said that factory ammo was underloaded, let me handload them darts and see what happens
3-I was useing a single shot Handi with an extractor, ejectors are faster
4-My eyes are getting older so I needed a scope
5-All my hits were behind the shoulder, I was hitting them faster but they still ran a ways, should have taken head shots

 :D :D :D

Bobbing Bobcat first try, Turbo Charged Cheeta second time.  Not bad for an old man who don't play video games, and an arthritic thumb.  I use a roller ball instead of a mouse.  I use my thumb to click instead of my index finger.

After I "The Bobbing Bobcat, then, The Turbo Charged Cheetah" had my go at it I called in the wife.  She is a senoir as well.  She made Ambling Armadillo both tries, then called in Sky.  Now here comes the 21yr old gaming addict.  First two tries he made Sluggish Snail.  He threw up his hands on disgust and refused to try any more.  He kept antisipating the sheep and being penalized.

I really that I was bad off at first.  First 3-4 games I though you actually had to hit the sheep as it ran rather than just the dart button.  I was all set to declare some of ya'll super-human :).

I got Rocketing Rabbit twice and Bouncing Bobcat about 10 times before I figured enough is enough :).

That's funny, I did the same thing the first time I tried it.  I though holy crap, 0 for 5,  I struck out big time!  :o ???  Then I went back and reread the directions.  :-[
