The Gruden and Manning rumors are just wishful thinking. Gruden already gets paid more than UT can afford for doing very little actual work. On what planet would he want to quit his cushy day job to take on the 20/7 job of cleaning up a decade of disaster? Manning already has more money than he knows what to do with. His aspirations are far bigger than trying to coaching a team out of the dumpster. UT has got to stop looking for instant glory and find someone who can rebuild the program by motivating the kids to perform to a high moral standard both on and off the field. That's gonna take a few years and the fan base is gonna have to accept that.

It'll make good gangsta sights.

I found my low-left problem to be anticipating recoil with my support hand. So I practiced shooting one handed (really slowly) a bit and my accuracy/consistency improved. Then I added my support hand back with a light grip and slowly added tension to improve recoil control. Basically, I learned that the "crush the gun" idea doesn't work for me, or takes more practice.

I agree with respect to the attitudes. They are still kids, but at the same time, they've got to grasp the idea that they have to be responsible for their own actions. As for the booting them from the team causing recruiting difficulty... the last decade of poor performance has taken care of that. I'd say that contributes significantly to the issues (such as the photo above) they have with the kids on the team now.

Stay classy. It'll be years before they contend. They've got a decade of damage to undo.

Nice try, but I don't believe for a second that humor was your initial intent. You may be used to other forums where it's common for members to give each other a hard time, drop f-bombs, and the like. We don't do that here. The idea is to keep this family friendly. Read the code of conduct. I'll reiterate my suggestion to dial back the rhetoric and agree that stopping here is a good idea.

Dial back the rhetoric a notch or three and don't be so quick to judge. More than a few of us have met dolomite, heard the stories, and understand why he does what he does. You'll be hard pressed to find a more respected member of this community.

Neato! We've got 2 small plastic printers at work and another big metal capable printer at another location.

Same as several... I have kids so I rarely have more than $50 in cash on me. I use my cc most of the time, but will use cash for small stuff or at specific businesses. I only use my debit card at the ATM. Never use a debit card anywhere else. If it gets stolen, you have to deal with an empty or overdrawn bank account, and worse if you've got things like utilities or mortgage on auto-pay. If a credit card gets stolen, you just have charges to dispute and you haven't actually lost anything.

Depends on the person and the gun. Do what works for you.

The x-ring is a 2x3 inch oval. Cut out a template and you can spray paint several of them on a single sheet of paper, paper plate, etc...

The Russian bear personified.

A little sandpaper will knock the sharp edges off.

I'm glad they spent the enormous resources building nearly useless crap like these rail guns instead of more tanks and airplanes.

Note that ATV's are only allowed at Turkey Bay. Vehicles must be plated for most of the roads. And yes, it's a really nice place.

I was there not long ago. It's not a happy place to be. Prayers for you during this difficult time.

You need to sand/grind/blend away all the pitting down to smooth bare metal, then paint/blue/coat the surface to prevent further corrosion. The pits trap the salts and corrosion products on a microscopic level, so no amount of oiling will stop the corrosion from continuing unless it's fully removed.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Had a great time Saturday with some friends at a farm owned by some of my wife's family. First there was skeet.... ... and we even managed to break a few of them. Before they hit the ground. Then after lunch it was pistols and rifles.... Got to shoot lots of good stuff. I finally got to shoot the FAL I built and it worked pretty well. I was very happy that it didn't require much sight adjustment at all. I got irons sighted in on both AR's but unfortunately one of them was plagued with light strikes, so I'll have to sort that out. One of my friends is somewhat new to guns and I managed to dispel some myths about .380's being innaccurate by hitting a spinning gopher target a handful of times from about 25 yds with my P3AT. Surprised myself a little too. A bit warm for my tastes but a great time for sure.

Miles and miles of great off road trails. Vehicles must be plated everywhere but Turkey Bay.

Mine had that done a couple years ago. The worst part was the recovery from the anesthesia. Some kids have unexpected reactions to it, but mine had ear tubes at the same time and they told us some kids freak out a bit because everything suddenly sounds very different. Otherwise it all went fine. Kids recover fast. You'll get to see how long he'll try to milk the ice cream and jello...

If anyone near knoxville hunts and doesn't want the meat, let me know. The hawks and owls love squirrels.

Exactly.... it's too humid here most of the year to hang dry it without crusting it over with salt. In which case the salt is dehydrating it, not the weather. If you've got a sunny place, set up a fan, and get dry weather for a couple weeks, it might work.

Nice. Is the rear sight reasonably robust on the dust cover?
