  1. Kahrman is right on!! you want to bolt to pass through while doing as much damage as it can. My friend I spoke ofuse to send a supply of Bolts with his bows and also one new string replacement. He has one broadhead he recomends very highly to use with his bows. I just hope he is still making bows. Been about 5 years like I said since i spoke with him.
  2. I use to know a guy that made Crossbows and was very good at it and made some great bows. I will check and see if he is still making them. He was actually well know back years ago for introducing crossbows with Aluminum Bows that you never had to worry about cracking. They would sent an arrow down range really fast and were a lot quieter than the wooden version. Have not spoke with him in about 5 years but I do know where he lives so might just pay him a visit.
  3. I still think they are a long ways frrom being caught up with most orther states like Tennessee and other states. They will be another 10 years before actually being ready if they began today...............I still have a few friends that live in the middle of the state and they have been preparing for about last 5 years and they have all told me that many of the people in bigger towns and cities around them have no clue where to begin to get ready. All my friends have old Cold war air raid shelters that they have stocked with about everything they would need to survive and they are also ready and prepared to defend what they have from those who don't prepare. That is where things will get ugly. My friends all know each other and they have all worked as a team to get prepared and they will work as team to defend what they have. They almost make me think they are a bunch of Yankee Red Necks every time I talk to any of them..........
  4. I have that stored on every one of my computers and I won't lie, when I listen to it and watch it I have to fight back tears. I have always thought of my self as a rough and rugged tough man but that one shows me I am not all that tough any longer......................
  5. I have two 22 Semi auto's and I like both of them equally. If I'm out in the yard or going to the mailbox out by the road I carry 1 that holds 6 rounds and if I am going to grocery store I might carry my Phoenix cause it is 10 + 1 in the tube and back up magazine. If I go anyplace else I have one of my Bersa's with a back up mag or 2 . The 22 is an awesome round that many folks don't give any where near enough credit to...........jmho
  6. I trust a 22lr a lot of the time when I am out and not going to be in a hood but just someplace like Grocery store and I trust my 380's a lot when I am going to be other places. People can say what they want about 380's but I have full faith in them. If a person with a 380 puts the first 1 or 2 rounds where they need to be it will do it's job just fine IMHO.
  7. With the way the world is on edge about attacks They are very lucky someone including the police didn't open up on them both. I hope they are both charged with a Felony and loose their 2nd Amendment priviledges because they have proven the are not mentally stable enough to own a gun..................JMHO
  8. Back when I lived in Mt. Juliet I did a lot of business with them. I didn't know if they were still in business any longer. Might have to make a trip over that way............
  9. Besides me how many more Falcon fans are in this crowd?...............................
  10. I had to quit buying bacon because of price verses what was left after cooking. I ahd tried about every brand on shelves and it all shrunk up to a 1/3 it's size per slice. Then a buddy of mine told me to not buy the pre packaged stuff but go the meat counter at krogers and have the meat man slice you some of their bacon. I did and got 1 pound and paid $3.29 for it and to my surprise it had about 20% loss per slice so now I buy my bacon from the meat department.................
  11. The catalytic Converter light can be triggered by several different sensors in the Computer system. It does not necessarily mean your converter is bad. The Oxygen Sensor in many cases is the real culprit and replacing it will in many cases turn the light off. Believe it or not, on many auto brands a Coolant Sensor that turns your cooling fans on can trip the light if they are delayed by a few seconds allowing the engine temperature to be as little as 10 degrees to high before the fans come on. A sensor on the fuel system can be reading a rich mixture when it is not rich and also trigger the same light. Normally when your Converter is really bad your car will lose power na dyou can tell by having a flow test ran by a repair center that can tell you if your converter is really bad. The auto makers make these new vehicles almost a requirement to be repaired at the dealership. Look at how VW manipulated their Diesels computers to skirt the emmissons test when they were actually emitting twice or 3 times the legal limit of emmissions and most recently Chrysler was caught doing the same thing. I made myself a promise back when I was working on vehicles that when they had crossed over a certain line on cars I would quit working on them and in 1992 I gave my employer my notice that in January 1993 I would be gone but had to leave a little early because of doctors orders. My son still works on cars in his shop to this day and it's funny when he gets a carburator vehicle in his shop that is having a carburator issue and he calls me and asks me if I can come down to the shop and help him out. Went down there about a month ago and rebuilt a Quadra-jet 4 barrel on an old Cadillac he was working on......
  12. I was a Certified Master Mechanic for 35 years before retiring and as for U-joints, I have always considered them a maintainance part and should periodically be replaced just like brake pads and other parts that moved. That is by far the best way to be sure you never have an issue. As far as U-Joints when your warranty ends it's time for u joints. Then when the milage get close to that number again look at replacing them again...............jmho
  13. I have the utmost respect for what Starbucks is doing to help our Vets for sure. As for hiring an equal amount of refugees, with what Trump is doing to block the refugees coming into the country until they are totally vetted, that will probably slow down the numbers Starbucks will be hiring any time soon. Like many have said which I do agree, I would much rather see the Refugees working and paying taxes and becoming a part of what is right with the community rather than sitting home collecting tax money being paid by the working people of this great country...........jmho
  14. Back when I was youngster before we moved south in 67 we lived in a small town with 1 grocery store family owned. They would have beef hearts sometimes in the meat case and most folks didn't buy it but my Mother bought about all that was in the case every time. She would make killer Hearts and dressing. The hearts were always cleaned up and ready to cook so since she was feeding 4 growing boys and my father a big roaster of Heart slices on a bed of dressing more than fed all of us. We all loved it. We all ate Beef Liver and Onions while growing up and we all loved that also. As far as deer Hearts and Liver, when we moved down here and I began hunting deer I always save both and when I brought the deer home cut up in sections and my mother would bone the meat and make meat cut portions of what she could and then grind the rest into burger. She would freeze the hearts and Livers till we had about 3 and then she would make the Hearts and dressing or Liver and Onions from the deer parts and it also tasted great. While growing up in middle Illinois we did eat a lot of wild game also cause I hunted Squirrels, Doves, Pheasants, Quail, Ducks and Rabbits and would always limit. My hunting buddy had great bird dogs and I had great Beagles and we had 2 huge farms we were allowed to hunt. My buddy still lives up there but because of all the gun regulations up that way hunting has even become a major gun issue that it never use to be when I lived up there but then it is Illinois..........
  15. If the price of meat keeps going up I will be forced to either hunt my own again or become a vegeitaritian. Iabout the only time I buy meat these days is if I catch it in a mark down butcher sale at Krogers and then have to take what is offered between Pork or Beef or do without. The only up side is I do have almost 3 deer in the freezer thanks to my son and grandsons. Made some deer chili the other night................
  16. I drink 2/3 cups of coffee when I first wake up. Then I switch the Nestles fruit Flavored bottled water and that is all I drink until I get ready for bed. I also keep a bottle of water on the night stand. I buy it at Sam's by the case and buy 5 cases a month.
  17. I know there are some of ya'll that know I make hand poured Soft Plastic Baits. If anyone would be interested in seeing what I make I will post some pictures. Thanks!!
  18. +1 I have not seen a real price increase for milk I buy in so long I don't remember the last one. I normally pay about $2.59 a gallon which is what I have been paying for it in last 4 or 5 years. They can keep their 5 bucks as far as I'm concerned.........JMHO
  19. I think I can say chalk up another one up for the good guys and I do agree with Chuck on the issue of giving a person a second chance as long as they don't have a wrap sheet that reads like the classifieds in a news paper. Evidently this man made 1 mistake so yea. He deserved a second chance to be a fully productive person in society.............jmho
  20. I lived on Shacklett drive in Donelson for about 10 years and the first 2 years sleeping was very much an issue since I was the last house on a dead end street and the north runway glidepath and take of path was exactly 70 yards from my house. In my 3rd year they passed an ordinance that required the Airport to soundproof every house in my neighborhood. They did a good job. After that you could not hear any planes coming or going. Eventually the airport purchased every house in that whole neighborhood and I think they tore most of them down. Have not been back there since I moved.
  21. If you know of anyone that has a model 85 that might be looking for an extra mag it is easy enough to get. The new Double stack 380 magazines they are making work great with a little tweaking. Just buy one andtake it to about any local gunsmith and they can alter the notch just enough that they will work just great in the model 85's. I have tried about 200 rounds through the 3 I had altered and they work just as good as the factory mag that came with the 85 originally.
  22. And all this time I thought elephants were on the protected species list and not allow to be hunted................ Nice looking table decoration for sure. So when do you go to a the range with your new toy?
  23. I knew when I trimmed my big motor up and then stood up and tried to rock the boat that it would require more than me pushing when the boat never moved when I tried to rock it.............lol
  24. Don't feel bad buddy, I have fished Old Hickory for about 30 years and can pretty much go anyhwere I want to but about 6 years ago I was running up stream just past the warm water discharge channel and not paying enough attention in the fog that morning and I drove my Skeeter about 30 feet up on a mud flat betwen those 2 islands. Lucky it was all mud cause I was clicking about 60MPH when I went mudding. I called a buddy of mine and it took him and another buddy with both boats both sporting 250 hp motors and 5 broken ropes to pull me off that flat. I still think about that day every time I run past that flat and remember how stupid I was cause I knew better and just got careless 1 time and 1 time is all it takes...........lol As far as not knowing how to get into the steam plant channel even as well and I know it there use to be a small island on the down stream point of the mouth of that channel as you turned into the channel. With all the high water the earth part of the island is gone but the rock part of it is only about 1.5 feet below the surface. Even like I said, as well as I know that area I shut down on main channel and go it on trolling motor now so I don't tear something up.
  25. Yea, the model 85 was the first one that went to the 15 round magazines. I got the gun on a fluke deal. I had a S&W 380 Body Guard that a buddy of mine wanted so bad it hurt. He had the 85 that I wanted so bad it hurt. So he showed up on day and had it with him and the swap was made. Believe me finding a back up magazine for it was vertually impossible. I finally got 3 but had to get a little inventive. I really think you will like the gun after you have put some rounds down range with it. if you decide it is not for you let me know and I will take it off your hands if the price is right.
