I'm still trying to make the 2nd. I'll be there on the 23rd barring anything unforeseen. Turns out the USF Crew team Parents rowing event is on the 8th rather than the 1st so I won't have to worry about sinking a $30,000.00 rowing shell until next weekend! :D My daughter is a hard ass and I...- Queequeg

Kaboom at Manatee today!
Great idea on the mirror! I keep alight over my left shoulder to look down to see if the case is charged but distractions occur, brain farts happen, phone rings, Mrs. Q needs me for something, dogs start barking, etc., etc. I'll look into where and how to place a mirror that will ease the view...- Queequeg

Kaboom at Manatee today!
I load on a Dillon 550 and have loaded a empty before on three occasions over the last 15 years. The rounds had the primer fire but the bullet remained seated. I left them chambered and counted to 10 in the event of a hang fire, finding only the full cartridge ejected, leaving nothing in the...- Queequeg

Ren, I'd love to get there on the 2nd but I may not be able to make it as my parents are in the state visiting for the next three weeks and my Dad had been Jonesing to hit the links with my Brother, His nephew, Myself, and my oldest daughter! They live in Massachusetts and he hasn't played...- Queequeg

Greg, If you can squeeze in a vacay to the southlands, let me know. I'd be proud to be your host and you would love the place. Especially now that several of us are now going to be the hardest ass safety hawks on the line!- Queequeg

Oh don't be a baby! I've been working in construction here since 1978 and every year, around mid April, I start psyching myself up for what is coming: An unrelenting, monotonous, sultry, humidity that varies only in intensity when the sun is on you or the clouds build up for the huge (And often...- Queequeg

Kaboom at Manatee today!
300 Winny, I was at bench 13 and Ren was at 12. We're both right handed so he was shooting behind me. As his AI has a brake on it, I was getting a good deal of blast from his rifle that was considerably more loud and direct than a typical .308. When the .338 guy's rifle blew, I heard an unusual...- Queequeg

He says the loads were not hot but that some were sticking. He's been out there every time I go there and has a lot of different rifles with him every time I see him there. He loads for all of them and seems pretty knowledgeable. I believe the range had just gone back hot when this happened...- Queequeg

He's OK. Humbled, has a nice ding on his left arm above the elbow and probably a profound memory that won't soon fade!- Queequeg

Except for shit blowing up behind us, it was a fantastic day! I put a free float fore end on my AR-10 and frankly, was worried I might blow up good with the first live round I put through it! So this morning, I warned Ren (On my left) and the European dude on my right, that I was going to...- Queequeg

Kaboom at Manatee today!
This happened at around 1:45 pm. The injured shooter was still shooting his other rifles when I left at 3:30. He fucked up, pure and simple and he never said a word to the contrary. I offered to put a bandage on his arm wound but he decline several times. After about an hour he asked me if I...- Queequeg

Kaboom at Manatee today!
Happened this afternoon at the Manatee Gun and Archery Club. Al, Ren and Myself were there with a couple other folks. Ren was at bench 12, I was at 13. The fellow at 11 is the guy who had the Kaboom. He was running a Savage .338 Lapua. After the boom, I heard Ren ask "Are you alright" and...- Queequeg

Today's excitement was punctuated with some more excitement! Our Brother Ren wcould have been badly hurt when the fellow immediately next to him, shooting at bench 11, had a monumental KABOOM!- Queequeg

The fellow 2 benches west of me, right next to Ren, had a very bad day! Damn sure could have killed him and quite likely Ren as well. Something blew clean through the roof in two locations! Kaboom1_zpsbaeb8117.jpg (68.5 KB) Kaboom2_zps03c4ff88.jpg (82.2 KB) Kaboom3_zps0ec90044.jpg...- Queequeg
