10-Ring

Rarely do I believe what I hear from the guy standing behind the sporting goods counter at Wal-Mart, he's probably right this time though.

What's really cool about it is that a guy can't just go our and get one just like it, beautiful gun!

Carp, Cordell Hull is always good for carp!

Just get her a point and shoot unless she has a serious interest in learning photography. It doesn't matter how good a camera is, it will still require a skilled person behind it to take good pictures.

Mine will have a motor, gotta save that energy for hand to hand combat.

Glad you are still with us, best wishes in your recovery.

Tell him that you don't think your black buddies at the range would appreciate that, that should blow his mind.

If I've learned one thing from liberals it's when you are losing a fight just start calling your opponent names.

I'd hardly call it the fight of the century.  Mayweather is a talented fighter but he is a thug.  The other guy most people had never heard of. 

BTW I'm leaning more towards a Chipmunk because I can't seem to find an air rifle that is small enough for her and will accept a sighting device.  She's pretty small for her age and I don't want to give her an adult sized rifle that she will struggle with and have issues cocking.  It worked for me but I wanted a rifle at that age more than anything. 

Thanks for the input.  Honestly I don;'t think that she has ever worn her glasses correctly.  They are often times low on her nose and she looks over the top of them.  She doesn't have much interest in learning to wear them the right way.  She's really good at adapting to the things that she has to but often gives up very easily if something is difficult.  Therefore I'm trying to make this as easy and fun for her as possible because if she doesn't like it or has to put in extra effort to overcome the sight situation she will likely no longer be interested.   

I need some advice here from the bifocal wearing crowd. My daughter will soon be turning six which is the age that my wife had agreed to let me get her a BB gun. I could see my daughter's interest going either way on this do I want to make sure that she doesn't get frustrated and had lots of fun. The catch is that she had cataracts as a toddler and as a result she has to wear bifocals. I've never worn bifocals so I can't relate first hand to what it is like to look at iron sites, but I've heard that they can present a challenge and she just doesn't need that. Now I'm considering some type of airgun that I could mount a red dot site on, do you bifocal wearers think that would be easier for her to use? As for the rifle the search is on for something I can mount the site to, is easy to cock as she is very small for her age, oh yeah and it needs to be pink...

As much as I enjoy deer season I don't spend a lot of time thinking about it the test of the year. I'd rather spend that time thinking about whatever happens to be in season or just enjoying the weather. Currently I'm trying to find time to have my bow restrung so I can start slinging some arrows. I also need to get my muzzle loader back to the range and decide if it will do or if I need to find another.

Maybe, but God carries a .45, in 1911 of course.

Falls right in line with the old saying "trust in God but lock your car."

Great gun and well worth $200, but friends don't let friends move to New York.

I have a Tundra and was shopping for a Tacoma when I bought it. I actually bought it over the Tacoma because there isn't as much demand for them as there is the Tacoma so they tend to be cheaper. BTW I am referencing the first generation Tundra, the newer ones that probably doesn't apply to.

Same guy I used to use, went by the other day and it didn't look like he was still in business.

I don't mean to be so hard on the domestic auto makers but this is the truth.  Say you finance a new truck for 7 years which is the norm nowadays(which I never recommend doing but that's another discussion.)  Figure you drive about 20,000 miles per year, when the truck is paid off would you rather have a Toyota with a 140K on it  or a Ford, Chevy, or Dodge with 140K?  Having owned Fords, Chevy's, Dodges, and Toyotas in this mileage range I would hands down choose the Toyota.  If you are the kind of guy that wears a truck out especially, you can't go wrong with the Toyota, and if you trade every couple of years then you probably don't mind loosing your ass anyway.  IMO opinion Toyota just makes better quality stuff I've driven a few (well cared for) Toyotas that still feel new with upwards of 200K on the clock.  I'm not saying the domestics won't reach that mileage but with few exceptions they feel like old trucks at that mileage.

      Just in case there was any doubt this post was written in humor.  Ironically I donated by Uncle Mike's nylon holster to the Benefactor Box, and I swear that it wasn't me that took the badge out. 

I'd send it back to S&W or sell it really cheap to that 10-Ring guy on the TGO forum.

Here are a few thoughts and observations from a guy that shoots quite a few deer and honestly prefers a doe over a buck.  I did limit out on bucks last year, none were nice, one had the potential to have been nice one day and I honestly should have let it walk and regret not doing so.  The other two I killed were scrubby spikes that were not formed well.   -   I'm all for this.  Heck I might even be in favor of a one buck per year limit. -  Tennessee has two drastically different regions when it comes to deer this is pretty much divided at the Western edge of the Cumberland Plateau.  IMO these two distinct areas should be managed completely differently from one another.  When I lived in East Tennessee I didn't even bother deer hunting there because of the super conservative limits on does so I can understand the frustration of people in that area.  Again, IMO, the solution is not to keep the buck limit at 3 in this part of the state but to raise the doe limit, maybe not to what it is in Unit L but raise it some, where I lived in Blount County I could kill 2 does IIRC over a period of 5 days last season.  Ironically I saw plenty of does, even in the portions of the county that did not allow the harvest of does at all during rifle season.  -  Kentucky has had the 1 buck per year limit for years and they have some very nice buck coming out of there.  -  This past season I observed several bucks, I saw one with a decent rack but there were tons of 4 pointers and spikes running around.  Too many scrawny bucks IMO, perhaps a lower limit would help this, I'm not a biologist so I can't say that with any certainty.  This was the first year that I've ever tagged out on bucks and I didn't set out to do so, the bucks were just the opportunities that I had.  It leads me to believe the population may be out of balance.  I'll note that none of the deer were taken closer than 5 miles from each other and none further than 20 miles.  They were all taken in Wilson County.   -  Instead of flat out having a two buck limit I'd like to see  something like 1 buck then another tag issued after harvesting a doe.  Or one with a rifle but a hunter can harvest another with a muzzleloader or bow. -  As a meat hunter hunting in Unit L I'm not going to care that much what they do to the buck limit as long as I can continue to harvest my 3 does per day.  I don't care that much about taking a deer with a big rack but I'd enjoy seeing some bigger deer wander around out there. 

Yes me! But I've only been here for a couple of months this time. If anyone wants to get out done night and take some shots let me know. I can't concentrate on what I'm doing and keep track of what is doing on around me at the same time, which is a recipe for disaster. I wonder if Gecko45 is into photography? He'd be the perfect guy to take along.

I've gotten home after a shoot before and convinced myself that I didn't get a single good picture.  Then I'll go back later and find a few good ones.  I have to be in the right mood to sort and edit.

I wouldn't take part in this thread with a fake account and a proxy server.
