    Hunting & Fishing Annealing bullets?

    The founder of "ballistic studies" needs a basic course in metal working. There is no way on this earth that the heat of that candle, applied for a few seconds on that bullet is annealing the copper jacket.

    Hunting & Fishing Annealing bullets?

    That ass-hat in the video doesn't know what annealing is. All he is doing is warming up his bullets. Those bullets almost certainly become hotter traveling down the barrel. The copper needs to start glowing dull red to be annealed. As someone else said, the lead and plastic would melt before...

    Maggie’s Pretty Hilarious chick fight. I love Southern women.

    A shovel to the head would have been less painful than having to watch that video.

    Hunting & Fishing Genetics or injury?

    Skin out the skull and have it bleached. You will be able to see breaks and injuries that have healed.

    Work and my vacation rights?

    Just to put it into perspective, my dad died in 2007. I'd give a hell of a lot to be able to hunt with him again. There are memories I will carry with me for the rest of my life, most didn't happen on a civilian job.

    Need a gun safe. suggestions please

    Unless you buy used. Used tool rated safes can be had for under $1000. Watch auctions and businesses that have gone out of business. Also call locksmiths and see if they have any. You never know where you might find a good used safe. I've moved a couple from offices for free. I also picked...

    Better entry level safe? Liberty Revolution or Cannon Scout

    If you aren't in a hurry look out for a used tool rated safe. Jewelry stores that go out of business are often happy to get rid of them for under $1000. You just have to move them.

    Movie Theater The Road (I know this is a bit older, just saw it)

    Didn't like the book, didn't like the movie.

    Watch your playgrounds fellas!

    I'd like to see whoever did this get caught and hammered too. However East Moline doesn't have a reputation for solving crimes.

    Back issues, any advice?

    First I'd try getting a good massage a couple of times a week for a month. An MRI will be needed to see if it is a damaged disc. If it is a damaged disc you'll be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedic spine specialist. Also if you have a slightly herniated disc a chiropractor can make it...

    Hunting & Fishing Is this possible; broke my hand calls?

    If what Shankster suggests doesn't work.... It's probably just the reed freezing up. They get slobber in them and in cold weather sometimes freeze up. Switch to an open reed and it won't be a problem.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns knife sharpening info from the guru's out there

    Sadly this is one of the "things that every man should know" that has fallen by the wayside. It is a skill that has been lost to machines and gizmos. Every man should know how to sharpen a knife on a stone and maintain the edge with a steel, ceramic, Arkansas stone or other strop. I use a...

    D.I.Y. Rear Bags

    I've made bags out of old jeans. 1. Cut off a section of leg. 2. turn inside out and stitch both ends. Leave enough of one end open to turn "right side out". 3. Fill with sand or whatever you want to use. 4. Stitch shut. Not as nice as what the OP has done here but cheap and easy. Plus...

    Way to make it.

    Every small farmer I know has a full time job plus farming. The successful ones are work-a-holics. They know where to cut corners and where to spend good money. They know how to fix their own equipment and buildings. They are more than willing to lend a hand to their neighbors, and their...

    Savage now and then AKA why people hate Savage

    You guys who shoot Remington because you just can't bring yourselves to shoot something as ugly as a Savage crack me up. Its like closing time at a bar and you're taking home the second ugliest skank left. Neither Savage nor Remington have any great looking guns in their current catalog when...

    San Antonio trip

    There was a "Safari Park" Northeast (if I remember right) of SA. The kind you drive through and animals come up to the car for a hand out. Lots of African animals, if you have kids under about 12 years old it would be worth the trip.

    Hunting & Fishing How do you feel about crossbows

    Sportsmen challenge themselves, and it is up to them to decide how hard they want the hunt to be regardless of the tool used in the hunt. One of the ways we add to the challenge is to use tools that handicap us. Some use a long bow vs a compound, some use a compound vs a crossbow. Some people...
