10-Ring

Sorry I just don't get the concept of telling your kids that an airgun doesn't require the same amount of discipline as a firearm.

I've seen some really good deals on laptops through Groupon, fyi.

This is nothing but a round about way to ban the eating of meat by people that don't want to eat meat and don't want you to either.

This will be my first year to turkey hunt. I'm a total newb. How can I best learn how to effectively call? What are the easiest calls to learn to use? Do I need decoys? If I'm successful, what's the best way to clean one? I could write encyclopedia volumes about deer behavior and deer hunting. I would be lucky to fill out a business card with what I know about turkey hunting.

I haven't fired a M44 but never thought that the 91/30 had any significant recoil seeing as it weights about 27 pounds.  Of course the most important thing to ask yourself when shopping for a recoil pad is "does this match my purse?" :P

Wonder how it stacks up against the Hornady Critical Defense?

      I disagree.  I was taught that an airgun was to be treated with the same respect as a "real gun" I was trained using an air rifle on how to shoot and how to safely handle a weapon.  But, I had an upbringing in which I was also taught the value of life and treating other life, both two legged and four, as I wanted to be treated.  That didn't include shooting at animals just to see them get shot or shooting people that didn't have the same skin color as myself as a past time.    

That is asinine, I don't want to live here anymore!

Please forgive me if this has been covered, I did a quick search but didn't find an answer.  I'm hopefully going to sigh my black powder rifle in tomorrow.  I've heard of swabbing the barrel every few shots with hot water.  Is this necessary?  If so how do I go about drying it out so I can reload it?  How do I get hot water to the range? 

I've had very good luck with Toshiba.  I'm running a Toshiba Satellite as my back up laptop.  It is 4 years old and I've put it through hell.  I did have to replace the hard drive because I dropped the laptop and ruined the old one but that's my fault.  I did replace it with a solid state drive which is about all you are going to get these days anyway.  I'm currently running an Asus, which I have not been impressed with.  It is cheaply made, I returned it to the manufacturer right before it was a year old and they replaced the motherboard because the charging outlet was not functioning properly, my USB 3.0 port was not reading and one of my USB 2.0 ports were not reading.  Within a week of getting it back the 3.0 port stopped working again.  All of these cheaper lap tops are the same they are made very cheaply with little quality control.     On another note I bought a Sony laptop in 2007 and that was a very well built machine, still one of my favorites that I've ever owned.  used it for about 4 years before the hard drive bit the dust but never had another issue out of it.

I don't see this is a big win.  The potential savings are nominal at best.  I guess that you would be paying for the convenience of not having to renew.  Not my cup of tea, I'd rather buy more guns.  Although it is my belief that I shouldn't have to pay for a carry permit it is what it is and $10 a year after the initial $115 just isn't worth arguing over, spend that energy trying to change issues that really matter.  

Awe man how are they going to dis the Battle Mug?  That just ain't right.  Also, even though the bottle opener is about the most useful thing on there the guy that wold use it would probably be the same one that accidentl kills you.

Can't have a thread in this subforum without some wiseguy telling us how he is more primitive... Rob should be along soon to show us how he kills carpenter bees by smacking them with a willow switch or some other method that I could only dream of being able to do.

I had to do chores at David's house for a weekend.

Gun hidden close to front door and a gun hidden in the living room where most of our time is spent, in addition to the house gun on the night stand.  Out in the yard sometimes it's a Glock 23 in a OWB holster but in the summer time when it's hot and I want to wear nylon shorts it's the TCP in the pocket.  A .44mag it is not, but with me it is.

I have a certain dislike for public ranges period but sometimes it's necessary for some folks to shoot at them.  I've shot at the Stones River TWRA range more than any other.  There was one RSO out there that I didn't really care fr but haven't seen that one in a while.  Most of the guys out there have a wealth of knowledge and share it only when asked.  There are a couple I've encountered out there that I didn't care for but nothing bad enough to let it ruin my day.  Sorry to hear that some of the TWRA ranges are not run as well. 

If they hate us so bad then why do they keep moving here?

I guess it depends on what you want to do.  My grandparents used to have a pump and they pumped water out of the lake to water their lawn and their garden.  I wouldn't drink anything from a stream if I didn't have to without proper filtration, you just never know what has encountered the water upstream.  Even in remote areas where the water is pure a dead animal in the water can make you sick if you drink the water.    So...  If your goal is to save some money by watering a garden or something I'd look at pulling from the creek.  Otherwise I wouldn't bother with it.  If the goal is to be prepared in an emergency situation then I would just stock several cases of bottled water along with several gallon jugs of water as well.  I can't really think of a scenario where your city water would be unsafe to use and the well would be okay, if one is contaminated the other most likely would be as well.  Even something like the floods of 2010, a few cases of water would have gotten most folks by just fine when the tap water was unusable.  

Came across this television show on Amazon Prime.  The show is about a small town that mysteriously has a dome placed over it and no one can get in or out.  Although it is fictional a lot of the scenarios that play out in the show are realistic.  The situations in the show remind me a lot of the book "One Second After."  I know a lot of people here enjoy that kind of thing so I just thought that I'd share.

  Wonder if he needed help spelling it?

Find a local credit union with shared branching and join it.  I've had accounts with Suntrust, BOA, and Regions and I wouldn't go back to any of them.  I just made a 200 mile move and the credit union that I'm a member of doesn't have any branches here but it's no big deal I can do my business with any credit union in their network.

Sure they do.  My grandmother and her neighbor both have wells, they live in Lebanon.  Her well is aweful, water smells bad and stains everything even after going through a complex filtration system.  The neighbors well is about 200 yards away and comes out of the ground nice and clean and just goes through a water softener.  I'm not sure of why you want a well, I assume that you are already on city water.  It's nice to not have a water bill but depending on the condition of the well water you have you could easily spend more on water treatment than your water bills is.  I've lived in 3 houses in my life that were on well, two were great and the water came out of the ground and didn't require anything else and the other was a constant pain in the butt. Be prepared to spend a considerable amount of money to drill and keep in mind that you may or may not hit water and the water may or may not be good.  If you are wanting a well for SHTF purposes I would stick to city water and a few 55 gallon drums that collect rain water. 

Is Browning in the .357/.38 lever game?  I have a BL-22 and love it.  I never could appreciate a Henry after having this gun, they just don't feel good to me.

My ex-wife had a mood ring, it would leave a red mark on my face whenever she was mad.
