    Chance Encounter, Great Story of a Gunfight

    I think so too. I have tried to research the Penn State Railroad Police but can't find any historical pages or info other than the line of duty deaths. He said it was a .38 special, I'm guessing though it was too early for S&W Model 10s? Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    Chance Encounter, Great Story of a Gunfight

    Tldr: Met an old guy who told me how his dad, a 1930's Penn. State railroad cop had a 4 on 1 gun fight and shot 35 rounds with his .38 reloading five times in between moving trains, killing one, wounding one, arresting one, and one got away. Gave me a book, pics attached. So my mother asked me...

    Shooting mats

    I use my drag bag as a mat. It carries at least a half gallon of dirt. I like to think of it as biodegradable insulation! I just shake it out on occasion to relieve it, and make sure my scope caps are tight. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    Generational Gun Dislay

    So with the recent passing of another family patriarch, I inherited another gun. I have reviewed some of my non-work guns and realized over time I've grown a collection of patriarch owned then inherited guns. I'd like to have a way to display them that makes sense for their significance, in...

    Show me your pelican!!!

    I'm absolutely engaged in this thread. When I was younger and dumber I messed up a foam job. Case is fine, but I need new foam for the inside. Where are good sources for replacement foam? Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    Shooting mats

    We joke, but I bought one and use it for work and have beat mine senseless as a drag bag and shooting mat for three years with no damage showing yet! Filled with dirt, but no splitting. Great for the price. My next will be an eberlestock though. Becoming more legit over time :-P Sent from my...

    How old when you first broke 1000 yds?

    26 at a school. Had the best spotter I ever had that day. Definite bucket list moment. Spotter helped me have first three shots group 10". Perfect conditions, negligible winds. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    Holy ####. I just researched the crowd sourcing of Captcha and Duolingo... I.HAD.NO.IDEA... I mean seriously no idea, not a single clue that was going on. Mind blown. So learning is I suppose a byproduct of sweat shop microtranslating. Thanks for that info. SH has a lot of SME's beyond the...

    I'm guessing not because of some ad hominem argument towards the owl Duo. What's your preferred poison for programs? Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    French

    Hey Veer, I'm using a program called DuoLingo ( https://www.duolingo.com/ ) When I hear "ils" it sounds the same as "Elle". And I feel like there are a lot more silent S's on the end of every word that is giving me trust issues. Phonic value... New term for the tool box! Sent from my XT1650...

    French

    While not trying to be a Victorian era Renaissance Man, I thought learning French would be a rewarding endeavor. I feel like the reward is diminishing. German I like (lots of consonants and sweet letters like ß and ö) but other than publishing 10% of the worlds books and the #3 economy in the...

    French

    Yes, I get that with some of the other romance languages. French just seems to be like a square peg for a round hole in my brain when listening to it spoken or reading it out loud!

    Absolutely no. Mrs. Clarke would be a lot better than my teacher... Some ###ing green owl named Duo in the Duolingo program. Giving me moral support... No Duo I need consonants. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk
