Yes, very nice. That should raise a lot of money. I would buy a chance. Tom

If there had been a range master they probably would not have done it. This is a public do it yourself range. It was definitely bad behavior but.....I don't get pissed about much. I have an ex that kept me pissed for so long I used it all up. The only places there are staffed public ranges...

Had a guy blow one off over my head at the local public range last November. I was shooting my 50cal muzzle loader. I was lying down on the ground shooting prone between the benches cause they were both taken. The wave passed over me. I had ear plugs in. It fired right after I fired. The...

You are right, I was thinking about a taper just as I was writing that last message. I have an old Montgomery Wards 20ga that my dad cut off for me when I was a kid. I saved the piece he cut off and glued it back on when I got bigger. The straight cut is not too elegant. The curved butt of...

Islandpiper, Share your thoughts here for all to learn.

I am shocked at the lack of sardine appreciation here amongst us. I have enjoyed many a can while outdoor adventuring. Sad day for me. I always though I would like to get together with some of you guys now I have my doubts. Tom

I have a 22 Benji I need to make the stock longer. The but stock is so short it is uncomfortable. Probably no elegant way to do that without making or getting a whole new stock. For what it is to me I think gluing a extender on the back end would do the job. Tom

I can see how that would work. All in all hitting something moving with a rifle is something that takes more practice than I have given it. I once had a 50 yard target in the back yard 10 inch mettle disc....dings when you hit it. When I started shooting at it off hand I would hit maybe 4 of...

"Easier to drop a running deer on 9 power" I have always thought the opposite. I have always lowered my power setting when I am walking and might get a quick shot at a moving deer. Easier to find them in the scope with the wider field of view. I crank up the power when I get on stand. I...

Just got the Missouri Conservation press release today. The season is all over up here. Killed 239 thousand in the state this year with a gun, the bow numbers have not come in yet. Makes for a lot of beef steaks that don't get sold to guys like me with two in the freezer.

I guess I never did give a final report on this boat and how it did in the MR 340 race and how I did in the race. My stretched TV although built as a tandem paddler it was adapted to be a solo at the last minute. It was a lot of boat for one person and was not particularly fast...or at least...

Don't know if I have told this story on this forum before. (we retell stories a lot as we age) About 200 miles into the race last fall a young man caught up to me and we started talking as we paddled. He told me he just decided to do the race a few weeks before. He said he thought it would be...

One more recommendation from the racing world. http://www.rei.com/product/810392/therm-a-rest-trail-seat I bought one of these for the race from the recommendation of a couple older paddle racers. seat padding is a big issue for the 340. This item is truly great. I put it in my hunting pack...

I shopped around for the lightest weight paddle I could find. The racing community I am/was attached to do not mind spending big money on wing paddles and the like. (The wing design is probably not the best for recreational paddlers) I settled on this one...

That's the way to go. 870? Buckshot? I have heard about you southern boys and your buck shot. Can't use it up here for deer. Nothing like a WTBD to hold the bow of yur canoe down. Tom
