Yeah, those little rural schools definitely have their perks. I did everything I could to get out of that school early, it was declining rapidly. There was a lot of corruption on the school board and all of them were related somehow and related to most of the community, so no one ever got voted off. 2 years after I graduated, the state condemned 3 of the buildings on campus. They then stepped in and renovated the whole campus. There were a rough couple years while the state there. But a few of my classmates are teachers there now. And according to them, it's running the best they've ever seen it.

A lot of wisdom in that post. I carried a Buck 110 from 6th-11th(2007, when I graduated) Then at college I carried a Case Blue Bone Med. Stockman 3-blade. Which I still carry everyday.

That's a pretty awesome situation.

I'm probably a bit younger than most of y'all, ripe old 26 years young. My school closed the first Monday of deer season. It was listed as 'deer day'. Not a real big school, K-12 was about 300-400 students. Half the trucks in the school parking had guns in them. Some hidden, some open. No one cared. One time I was picked out of class by the principal and local deputy, who just happened to be my cousin. He asked me if I would unlock my truck. They had reports of someone in the parking lot shooting traffic with Paintball Guns. I opened my truck and there was a loaded shotgun in the passenger seat. Along with 2 boxes of shells, dove decoys, vest, etc. We all laughed and he said "you're not supposed to have that here. Don't bring it back." I went back to class. The principal knew I wasn't going to shoot up the school. It was only dangerous to them tasty doves.

We got my mother a single shot .243 last year. She absolutely loves it. Killed 2 deer with it last fall.

Thanks for the info. That's unfortunate. I owned a small business for a long time. If there's one thing that is against the rules, it's being rude to a customer. Even if they deserve it. You've got to learn to let things go. Enforce policies, but be polite about it. Not everyone is cut out for it. I'll keep looking. Does anyone know of a range on the Arkansas side of the river?

This is a good idea. I cycle the first 10 or so anytime I change a variable. I also chamber-seat the first couple bullets when I change styles to check COAL.

Anyone been to this range recently? I work on Brooks Road just west of the airport so it's pretty close, if it's proven to be a friendly atmosphere.

I like it. I'm not a fan of the AR-style guns. But I like the build of that one. What was the price on that? if you don't mind.

But dam they're cool.

And that's done. Next up is a .45Colt SAA. Will get a Pietta I have a line on one for a good price.

I just closed an auction for a SBH .44mag 7.5" blued/walnut. And I have everything to reload .45Colt. Now I just need something to shoot them out of. Should have the .45C SAA in a week or 2.

Same here...what are they about $5k-$10k? My next purchase is a Super Blackhawk.44Mag.

.45Colt dies, 3 sizes of bullets, 300 empty casings, 300 primers, 1 box of .45Colt factory loads. And 3 100rnd .45Colt ammo boxes. And some more 9mm bullets.

5x100rnd 9mm ammo boxes. And 1000 cleaned once-fired empty casings. Not bad for $30
