    Small Shooting Platform Ideas

    Re: Small Shooting Platform Ideas What about a small utility trailer with a platform at the height you want. You could attach trailer jacks at each corner to level and stabilize the platform. If you have a pickup, maybe some 2x6 on top of the bed rails with 3/4" OSB/plywood for a platform.

    Gunsmithing recoil management

    Re: recoil management I have an 8 1/2 pound .375 H&H and 9 1/2 pound .416 Rigby. I'm not real sensitive to recoil but both hit pretty hard. I had mercury filled recoil reducers installed, and put shotgun recoil pads on. The recoil reducers seem to slow down and spread the recoil impulse...

    Tax experst or accountants

    Re: Tax experst or accountants Half of my business is tax work. Profits from the sale of personal property are taxable at current rates and are reported on Form 1040 as Other Income. To correctly determine your profit, you will need to determine the cost basis in the item. Take the...

    Range Report Howitzers, Field Guns, and Autocannons

    Re: Howitzers, Field Guns, and Autocannons I think the big advantage to the sub caliber discarding sabot rounds like those used in M1A2 Abrams and others is the high muzzle velocity that can be achieved. I think the muzzle velocity is over 4500 fps. The sub caliber penetrator is essentially...

    Range Report Howitzers, Field Guns, and Autocannons

    Re: Howitzers, Field Guns, and Autocannons My last up close and personal experience with a M198 was almost 30 years ago so I am sure that things have changed somewhat. In my notebook I found the following: 155mm M107 HE Weight in firing condition is 96.75 lbs ( 677,100 grains) Length is...

    Grand Jury Report on Jerry Sandusky/ Penn State

    Re: Grand Jury Report on Jerry Sandusky/ Penn State I don't know about Pennsylvania, but here in Texas the penal code imposes a legal duty on certain classes of people to report actual or suspected child abuse. Included in that are teachers, coaches and school administrators. Wife is a high...

    Hunting & Fishing Single shot rifles and muzzleloaders

    Re: Single shot rifles and muzzleloaders I currently have three Ruger # 1's in the safe and have used all three for hunting. A .220 Swift, a 7X57 Mauser, and a .375 H&H. I have used the 7mm on a lot of deer and have killed two elk with the .375 H&H. I really like them, but they can at...

    MLB Predictions

    Re: MLB Predictions Rangers over Yankees in 4 games. Texas has too much left handed pitching for the Yankees to handle. Tigers over Rays in 5. Boston is leaking oil badly and of all the play off contenders have the worst pitching going in to the playoffs and will drop out by the first of...

    MLB Predictions

    Re: MLB Predictions That's the one, but I don't remember what their record was. Most Texans are football crazy, but for me there is baseball season and then just the rest of the year. I thought then and still think that Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker were the best double play combination...

    MLB Predictions

    Re: MLB Predictions I think you might be right, but I would like to see a Tigers Diamond Backs series. With Gibson and Trammel calling the shots for the D-backs against the team they played for and won a championship with, that would be nice.

    Anyone in the Texas Panhandle??

    Re: Anyone in the Texas Panhandle?? I am in the northeastern portion of Armstrong County. If you are looking for less than 100 acres, it can be a challenge. When we moved here 11 years ago, it was very, very difficult to find something of less than 100 acres. We finally found a quarter...

    NE1 Live in the Oklahoma Panhandle?

    Re: NE1 Live in the Oklahoma Panhandle? No offense intended. I did not think my post implied or stated that Oklahoma was not gun and shooting friendly, only that Texas was.

    NE1 Live in the Oklahoma Panhandle?

    Re: NE1 Live in the Oklahoma Panhandle? That is a nice area, I have ridden my mules in and around Black Mesa and Kenton a number of times. The reference to bad water I think, refers to high concentrations of gypsum in some locations or perhaps just the fact that the water in the Texas and...
