    Maggie’s Snipe Hunting...

    Yeah, back in the day, when we were young and dumb (or so they thought) we would be subjected to that. We learned fast......and maintained our memory. Unfortunately, as I close in on 70, my daughters-in-law would have a shit fit! Hell, when I taught my her sons (my 3 grandsons) how to reload...

    Maggie’s Snipe Hunting...

    OH, I am aware of that now, but at the time had no idea. Never hunted them specifically, but did encounter them when pheasant hunting when I still lived back in PA. Fast little suckers!

    Maggie’s Snipe Hunting...

    Yeah, as a rookie in my scout troop and the first time at summer camp. I was paired with my tent mate while the older guys had the flashlights and the stick with the hankerchief (the snipe) tied to the end. They set us up in the woods along a trail and were chasing this thing around. We had...

    The Archer and the Arrow - A Discussion

    There are a number of things that I have been taught over the years, and I, for the most part, have taken them to heart; Beware of the man who only owns one gun. He probably knows how to use it. Buy the best that you can, even if you cannot afford it at this time. By the time you can afford...

    Congratulations Mall Ninja! You should be very glad that your wife realized that "something was wrong". I can relate directly..... In a former life, I was a firefighter/EMT with wife number one in labor. In the hospital they had her hooked up to fetal monitor that the frickin' nurses...

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    Hey Steve, glad to see that you are headed over to LD's for the Temecula match. I cannot make that, plus, I have to run the local one here at BASF. I would love to get over there again. Like you said, the camaraderie is what makes it all worthwhile. I am assuming that you and Bobby are...

    Hard Hats

    Got a plain brimmed white one with one difference; it is a level II with the side impact rating. We looked at several but these have a hard foam insert similar to what you find on a cyclist helmet. The weight is negligible but after wearing one in the Arizona sun, I am sold on these. That...

    Maggie’s Colonoscopy Journal

    Colonoscopy I have had two of them. The first about age 50. i also had the nervousness due to some "well meaning" buddies giving me the lowdown. They were just busting my balls....as usual. The night before with the prep was the worst. When the Doc said I would have to go the bathroom...

    He has no idea how lucky he is. If she clubbed him in the head in public, imagine what she would do behind closed doors at home. Luckily he only knew her for three months!

    Anschutz 1827 Fortner Biathlon ???

    Took a while to figure out how to post with this format. Seemed as if anything that did in the past did not work until you walked me through it. Thanks Steve.

    Anschutz 1827 Fortner Biathlon ???

    Steve, you know you are going to buy one anyway, so just do it! You might have to give up your USFT and Panther for it, but you can always borrow my Marauder for FT matches in the future. Whatever makes you happy.....LOL! BTW, I hope the info you gave on Saturday will allow me to finally...
