We have been there around the same time if you're referring to the same Bill. There was a dustup about a dozen years ago just before a regional match and the club cancelled at the last minute. Neither of us shot there after that. Last I heard the matches had faded away.

Yep, same time frame. There was a resurgence of sanctioned matches there for awhile after all that ,and I went back and shot a few matches. There were some good guys there, but the tremendous depth of knowledge and experience that used to show up was lost. Good ol MSgt loaned me gear for my first XTC match, paused a match to go bring me the target from my first clean, gave me a nice little souvenir the first (and only) time I beat him offhand. All the FL crew were super people.

Yeah, I really enjoyed HP. Spine injury put me on the sidelines.

Calling the line for a Garand match Bill is hosting tomorrow. That's as close as I get anymore.

You got "Australian Elk" ? ........ :unsure: :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: :rolleyes::sneaky::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Water Valley Game Reserve, South Australia, Australia


Situated in the South East of South Australia approximately four hours from Adelaide. This unique private property has a hunting area of over 400 square kilometres, making it one of the biggest in the southern hemisphere.

All Deer species in Australia are to be found in very good numbers, these being Chital, Fallow, Hog, Red, Rusa and Sambar Deer. The quality of trophy animals available is second to none, and clients have collected many world-class trophies. The high population of trophy animals combined with extensive areas of scrubland ensures that many trophy class animals survive each year - and just get bigger. It is not uncommon to find trophies having died of old age!

$6k for a sambar stag. Fuck that. Go for a good walk in the bush anywhere in northern vic and you’ll bump one.

Saying that, these are from the last sambar stag we shot, was about 9 years old and something like 220kg. Had one functioning tooth left. Clearly shot him when he was running across the open from the sambar retirement village.

I can honestly say that I too had a prescription for alcohol for when I lived at the Veterans Hospital here in Winnipeg. There's a bar in there, that is open every Friday. The only patients who CAN order a drink are those who've been given a prescription from their attending doctor/specialist allowing such. That way there is no interaction/conflict with their prescribed meds. True Story.
 

PC by the libtards and emasculated parenting has created a nation of whining, lazy, self indulgent, entitled snowflakes!

To Those of Us Born
1925 - 1955:


~~~~~~~~~
TO ALL THE
KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE

1930’s, 40’s, and
50’s !!



First, we survived being born to mothers who may have smoked and/or drank
While they were pregnant.


They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.


Then, after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs
Covered
with bright colored
Lead-based paints.



We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets,
And, when we rode our bikes,
We had baseball caps,
Not helmets, on our heads.


As infants and children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts, no air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes..



Riding in the back of a pick- up truck on a warm day was always a special treat.


We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.


We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and no one actually died from this.




We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter, and bacon. We drank Kool-Aid made with real white sugar.
And we weren't overweight.

WHY?


Because we were always outside playing...that's why!


We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day...
And, we were OKAY.





We would spend hours building
Our go-carts out of scraps and
then ride them down the hill,
Only to find out
We forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned To Solve the problem.




We did not
Have Play Stations, Nintendo

and
X-boxes. There were
No video games,
No 150 channels on cable,

No video movies
Or DVDs,

No surround-sound or
CDs,

No cell phones,

No personal computers,
No Internet and
No chat rooms





WE HAD FRIENDS
And we went
Outside and found them!



We fell out of
trees, got cut,

Broke bones and
Teeth,

And there were
No lawsuits

From those accidents.

We would get
Spankings with wooden spoons, switches, ping-pong paddles, or just a bare hand,
And no one would call child services to report abuse.




We ate worms,
And mud pies

Made from dirt,
And

The worms did
Not live in us forever.




We were given
BB guns for our 10th birthdays,
22
rifles for our 12th, rode horses,
made up games with sticks and
tennis balls, and
-although we were
Told it would happen- we did not put out very many eyes.



We rode bikes
Or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell,
or
just Walked in and talked to them.

Little League had
tryouts

And not everyone
Made the team.

Those who didn't
Had to learn

To deal with
Disappointment.


Imagine that!!




The idea of a parent
Bailing us out
If we broke the law
was unheard of ...
They actually sided with the law!




These generations have
Produced some of the best risk-takers,

Problem solvers, and
Inventors ever.



The past 60 to 85 years
Have seen an explosion
of innovation and new ideas.



We had freedom,
Failure, success and responsibility,
and
we learned
How to deal with it all.




If YOU are
One of those born

Between 1925-1955, CONGRATULATIONS!


You might want
to share this with others who have had the

luck to grow up as kids before the lawyers
and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good.



While you are at it,
forward it to your kids,
so they will know
how brave and lucky
their parents were.


Kind of makes
you want to run through the house
with scissors, doesn't it ?

An actual prescription I received from my doctor at the VA.

I was having an issue with my feet - swelling, pain, etc. My doctor told me to stay off my feet. When I informed him that would be very difficult for me to do giving my duties and obligations, he told me that was his best advice - stay off my feet.

I asked him how I was supposed to mow my yard - for instance.

He looked at his nurse and asked her for a prescription pad. She produced one. He wrote a prescription to my wife. She had to mow the yard for the next 30 days.

The three of us (the doctor, the nurse, and I) headed back out to the waiting room to see my wife. The doctor got stopped about half-way there so the nurse and I continued to the waiting room. When I got to my wife, she asked what the deal was. I showed her the prescription. Of course, the nurse was standing right by my side. My wife read the prescription and started to ask the nurse for clarification (I suppose). Nope, wasn't going to happen. The nurse couldn't hold it and started laughing. By this time the doctor had caught up with us. He started laughing too.

Yep, fun times for all.

I really like the treatment I get from the VA.

No, my wife did not mow the yard.

Yes, my feet still hurt.
