    Hunting & Fishing Brute of a bear I shot 8-22-13

    Nice bear! Any idea what he weighed/squares? I was up in the woods, high up, last weekend. Found lots of berries but no bear sign. Obviously the wrong place. Did you keep the wiener bone? 1911fan

    Oregon Sniper Challenge

    Steve, the one time I got to shoot your match I had a great time. I'm just bummed I can't shoot it again, since I'm neither .mil or LE. As has been pointed out though, it's your match. Do as you see fit. That said, if you have another match open to civvies, save me a spot. 1911fan

    Best Electronic Hearing Protection

    Well, it's nice to be able to hear range commands, timers, and such. You can also talk to fellow shooters comfortably, without shouting. FWIW, I've got a pair of Remington electronic muffs I bought at Wally World years ago. They work fine. I will usually double up (plugs under muffs) if I or...

    Toyota crew max upgrades

    Jeez guys, he's buying a Tundra. Not looking for info on Fords, Dodges, Yugos, what kind of cleaning solvent to use, or why mermaids don't have algae in their hair. OP, I'd stick with the front end leveling kit and I'd add wheel well flares to help keep it clean. The supercharger is indeed...

    Dual Sport/Enduro Motorcycle-Need Advice

    Money.... My KTM 990 was $15K well spent. Yup, it was a big bike, and heavy, but I could run Forest Service gravel roads at 70mph, and did. There was one section near my house I always tried to break 100mph on. (Sugarloaf through Maverick Saddle, for you locals.) I ran singletrack with it...

    Probably the worst times to use them due to the higher volume of gunfire. If you wear foam plugs under them you get way better protection and can still hear range commands. 1911fan

    Best Electronic Hearing Protection

    Which is why I've never bought a pair. Unless you NEED coms, there are much better-rated muffs out there. For that matter, the cheapo disposable foam earplugs have a NRR of 30 and don't interfere with your cheekweld. 1911fan

    Dual Sport/Enduro Motorcycle-Need Advice

    Yeah, all true. The KLR650 is carbed, easy to work on, heavy, and underpowered. Cheap, widely available, and spares aren't expensive. If you get one, there are a few performance mods to the engine- damn few. Definitely replace the doohickey (you'll see what I mean). Don't buy into the big...

    Hey guys, I need some quick cash..... Got a couple things to unload. First up, old school BR Pivot shooting bench. This is the original version, made by Rick himself before he sold out to Caldwell, who cheaped out on the materials. Butcher block top, powder coated aluminum structure...

    Maggie’s Socially UNacceptable Humor

    I've heard a similar one, but they go to her apartment. She goes into the bedroom to slip into something sexy, and when she comes out he is leaving. She says, "I thought we were going to get sick together!" and he replies, "I shit in you purse and fucked your dog- I'm all done!" Anyway- What...

    Hunting & Fishing What do you see?

    Agree. Not unusual around here. Probably pretty uncommon in Virginia, but they're tasty and look good on the wall. That's a little one. 1911fan
