    Movie Theater Swamp People

    Re: Swamp People We just completed our annual gator hunt today. This morning a guy caught a 9'4" gator that went 180lbs. The gator had 3 gun shots in the head and it was still very much alive. He said, "We shot him 3 times." Yes, but it was in the skull. A nail with a hammer driven in...

    A-5 rail for atlas bipod help

    Re: A-5 rail for atlas bipod help I have an A5 Edge with a front stud and flush cup behind it. A very crude measurement with my daughter's ruler reads 2 7/8" from center to center. If you need a more precise measurement I'll get you one tomorrow.

    Shreveport Match Date Set

    Re: Shreveport Match Date Set What Boltripper said... Get some boxes of Winchester pistol ammo from Wallyworld (white box) and you'll be fine. The rule applies to rifle ammo so that it doesn't tear up the steel targets. Same reason velocity is limited to 3100fps.

    Re: Will be in Dallas, TX for 4-6 months!!! Meet up? I'm about 4 hours from Dallas, but I'll be up that way for work in January. I'd be glad to meet you and do some shooting. If you want to hog hunt, you can drive this way and I'll put you on 4000 acres plum full of hogs.
