I had a cheap digital caliper once that seemed to give slightly inconsistent measurements. How is your measuring equipment?

I'm in for a regular blade. I'd like the same number as my Godfather if possible #23. Thanks! -
Is the tide turning in our favor ?
Wingshooter replied to 94user's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
I guess the difference between the people of those liberal states and the women in Afghanistan is the people of NY, NJ and MA, etc. continue to vote their oppressors into office -

We're only gaining ground by one Supreme Court Justice in most cases. If the 5-4 split swings to the libs' side look out. -
Probably just a Sasquatch...

I shot my old-school and my inline yesterday. Fun! :up: I love shooting them, but the cleanup reminded me why I don't do it more often. Ready for Saturday!

Unloading a Muzzleloader without firing it
Wingshooter replied to rugerla1's topic in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
Not really relevant now since you got it out, but one of these comes in very handy if you ever get one stuck thats hanging on for dear life and can't be pulled. I had to use one on a rifle couple of years ago. The puller attachment broke off in the conical bullet way down near the breach, so I couldn't get another to thread in. This little gadget did the trick. http://www.cabelas.com/product/CO2-Load-Discharger-Kit-and-Replacement-Cartridges/706432.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3DUnload%2Bmuzzleloader%2Bco2%26x%3D-726%26y%3D-52%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts&Ntt=Unload+muzzleloader+co2&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products -
I have been looking forward to shooting 3-gun this sat morning for a long time, but now I am torn. I've got a lot of activity (including the tall 7pt) on my land, and I have witnessed some rutting behavior. Historically, muzzleloader season is the most productive time of year for me, so now I'm faced with a tough decision: 3-gun in the morning (usually lasted till 3p) followed by a late afternoon ML hunt, or blow off 3gun completely this month and chase whitetails all day :confused: I'm leaning in the direction of backstraps. I have a lot of fun at 3-gun though, so it's a tough choice...

Harry Reid has been covering for Obama because he is the senate leader. He pretty much gets to pick and choose which Bills he wants to send to Obama and which ones he wants to table. With this turnover, the republicans now control the schedule of the Senate and the House, so they can put Bills on obama's desk for signature or veto. IF they do this, Obama will not enjoy the cover he has had from Harry Reid and bunch. It also will put the brakes on obama's progressive agenda for the rest of his term because they are not likely to back him on his pipe dreams. The biggest problem though, is it now puts the repulicans in the spotlight to get things done. The dems have done a lot of blaming the repubs for gridlock, but the reality is that the democrats have had the most control. We'll see how the repubs handle their new power because they have an opportunity to step up or waste it. I honestly believe last night was a major victory for our country because we've been on a runaway train. I just hope the momentum builds against the progressives. I don't believe for a second that the repubs aren't crooked politicians either, but they're head and shoulders above the likes of Harry Reid and Nancy Peloci in my book. I'd love to see true Constitution-loving conservatives in every seat, but then there is reality. We have to take baby steps to get our country back, and last night was one.

Yep, wow. Couldn't believe it.

Early numbers in Alaska looking good. I hope it holds. Picked up seats in Senate, House and Govs. Great night! I hope they show some good leadership over the next 2 years.

My newer 55lb-draw compound shoots an arrow faster than my really old compound set at 75lbs-draw because of newer technology in limbs and cam design. The good news is you don't have to break your shoulder to get a fast bow anymore. A simple arrow rest (Whisker Biscuit or other "full-capture" type) and a good fiber optic pin sight will serve you well. You can buy the bow alone and add components (get what you want), or buy a combo with everything already installed (maybe cheaper and easier). Either way, I would also recommend visiting a good archery shop that has knowledgable staff willing to set you up. Once you get your bow setup properly, then you can match an arrow to it.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with Piers Morgan

Wingshooter replied to Motasyco's topic in General Chat
He's mad that the GOP might take the senate today, and since he can't blame Bush... he'll blame obama. Either that or he finally woke up :shrug: -

:up: Looks like a good one. What scope are you going to put on it? I love bow hunting, but I'm looking forward to ML season!
