    Do you believe in dreams or premonitions?

    “There are more things in heaven and earth Horacio; then dreamt of in your philosophy.” Shakespeare anyone? Short answer, yes. Seen a few things come to fruition that seemed more than coincidence and beyond just a gut feeling.

    .33 Nosler or .338wm. for ELR?

    im not the expert but the 338 lapua based magazines seemed a little short for the ultra mags true potential. Looking online at people running hogged out internal mags and loading to 4.0 coal with 30 inch barrels and it’s mighty impressive for that standard mag bolt face. On the topic of big...

    Hunting & Fishing How do you clean a hog skull?

    Here’s what not to do. Don’t put hogs head in a black cow feed molasses tub with holes drilled in it for the bugs to come, with lid taped on so scavengers can’t steal it. Let it sit way out in the pasture for 3 months. The bugs did thier work. But, sealed up with poor air flow in the dark the...

    Fireworks on 4July 20

    I see no illegal fireworks. Every firework I saw is a solute to every American and anyone that ever stood or sacrificed for what is right and good. Got something in my eye trying to watch that all the way through. I never thought I’d see what I have at this point in my life. These last several...

    .33 Nosler or .338wm. for ELR?

    Top Load, single feed, or detachable mag? Ultra Mag case family for max powder capacity on that bolt head. ADG brass. What about 340 Weatherby as another option?

    Hunting & Fishing How do you clean a hog skull?

    I quit burying heads or using anthills because the hide and hair still remained some. And the ants carry all that dirt up into the cracks and crevices and never could quite get it all out. Blackland clay so there was tiny black specks all in it. I just sawzall the bottom jaw off behind the...

    Fireworks on 4July 20

    Booo! The city cancelled thier celebration and fireworks out of fear of the Rona. Every business ordered to wear masks employees and customers. Not long ago people bled red white and blue and around here it seemed. Now those same people make it feel like I’m surrounded by Neville Chamberlains...

    Night Vision Clip on NVD considerations?

    If you don’t have the side rails for auxiliary stuff there’s all kinds of stuff to mount to a scope or scope rings. Badger makes a nice scope ring set up with a rail. Similar to Nightforce RAP. I put a quick detach on my illum. Having it closer to reach on the scope is nice if it’s...

    Night Vision NV (thermal) bad for the eyes?

    Luck of the draw. Everybody knows someone young who dropped way to soon and the 90 year old guy who helped keep the whiskey, beer and tobacco companies going through the hard times. If you want bad for the eyes just look at some of the stuff posted in “The Pit”. I won’t name names. But forget...

    "9 inch neck"

    The "Shit Train", just keeps roll'n on! Choo-Choo! Mac According to the periodic table that train’s tracks are forged from a combination of A: people’s hope that the future can be made better, and B: oxygen exchange rates. Where as A decreases to an unknown point it reaches critical mass...

    Night Vision NV (thermal) bad for the eyes?

    Yes it is bad for your eyes. As in, you’ll be up all night playing around seeing green (or white if your a fancy person) instead of home in bed getting sleep. And having tired eyes that don’t work as well from being open to long.

    Boy This Will Piss Em Off

    💪!! Let’em cry. If it is that upsetting then maybe a long walk off a short pier into riptide infested waters and choking on cold salt water while contemplating if returning to the shores of our great nation is the right place for them, is in order. And in case there was room for doubt about...

    RollingStone article on US Guns and their effect on poor little Mexico

    I didn’t read the bs article. But it brings something to mind. Seems like if you asked a large portion of Americans about people rolling around with rpg’s and belt feds on the back of a little truck in some far off shitty place nobody would bat an eye. That’s just how it is there. But if...

    Made in the USA

    There was a thread mentioning others a while back. I’ll add Hanks belts. I believe it’s all American. Throw in the gun leather makers that also do belts. El Paso saddlery, Galco etc. Buck knives, Silver Stag knives. The S.A.S.S. forums and groups know some home grown leather artisans, gun...

    What is Retro in Shooting

    Compared to today’s gadgets, retro kind of brings to mind some of the things mentioned by Ed Kugler’s book in the school practice part. Ranging/ zero setting with a plain reticle. Using maps to help in that area. “Tumbling those football fields” to guesstimate range. Something young shooters...

    We lost a good man today...

    I’m sad to here this. I never even knew the man personally other than his posts I read. He was truly a part of the landscape of this site and will be missed. May he Rest In Peace.
