  1. Yea, not the same but that is the one I have and it works great.  The one in the OP allows the front rest to move forward and aft to better position it on the stock of shorter rifles and maybe even handguns.  I got a separate pistol rest to use for my .44, but since I just needed something cheap, I got this one: http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/00094574662/Handy-Shooting-Rest-NXT-
  2. Lead sleds are nice,and this one is a good price. I do have a tip on the bags for them though, if you use lead shot, which I suggest, put it in a nylon bag first, then seal the bag. I sewed mine shut, the inside bag. I had originally just put the shot in there and the zipper failed. Still finding shot on our concrete floor.
  3. Which still makes him a Muslim terrorist, making the event an act of terrorism.  What's so hard to understand?
  4. Sure, but instead of putting a better seal on the canister we make a disposable version which only has a one time use.
  5. That is ingenious, and they say our predecessors were technologically impaired.  It always amazes me to see some of the gadgets of our past generations, which we then made into throwaway versions.
  6. So, this broker, how does that work?  Who do they work for and who pays them?
  7. I only use it to post pics, I use Chrome's tab feature  and favorites to view my different forums on.
  8. I hate Fox online, 137 second commercial before I get to see a news story?  Don't they know we have short attention spans online!
  9. Yup, that is why it showed up twice.
  10. Yea, just found out my sig line in Tapatalk (same as here) both posted in my post so showed up twice.  There is a check box to suppress it, I just keep missing it.  You can also turn off sig lines (viewing) here on TGO, I turned them off because someone had long sig lines which were irritating.  That is why I didn't realize mine posted twice.
  11. Them being local means someone knows them and probably have an idea of what they are up to.  As for the pics, I don't know why people need to post everything... Just give them to LEO and let them try and find out who they are.
  12. So far so good, I defleshed the head taking off as much soft tissue as I could get out. Lesson learned, make sure the pot is hot enough. I wasted a few hours bathing it instead of simmering, but it went faster when the heat was turned up. The most difficult area was in the nose cavity, at first I tried to save as much bone as I could but there is so much tissue in there that I finally just pulled out a few of the thinner rollpin looking bones. I was worried about the nose ridge and the roof of his mouth because of how thin they are but they it came out OK. Here is a pic of after the defleshing and one with the peroxide cream doing its thing. Edit: Figured I would add the completed mount
  13. Sort of, deer notice movement and its easier to pickup on solid colors moving than broken up patterns.  They do have orange clothing that has some camo mixed in so it still has 500 square inches of orange.  But I agree, many a deer have been harvested in jeans and t-shirts.  But I think you need to be more still without camo, or at least subdued colors. I painted the inside of my stand black, so wear dark clothing to not contrast against the background.  In blinds, I think odor control is more important than camo, a few times I have been busted when the wind shifts.  I use a buck bomb to occasionally spray in the air outside to bring in the curious ones.
  14. Oh, I don't know, maybe because theirs look like this?
  15. I used a fillet knife through then brain stem and scrambled them out. Started using my burn barrel since I am still tryin to burn up that fallen tree but it could not generate enough heat, trying to simmer not boil but it was just bath warm.
  16. It's the CommsNBombs .40 conspiracy all over again.  Would of been funnier if you were originally getting a 10mm  :rofl:
  17. I think you meant yes?  Even less than I thought, and posted, of 5 weapons within a few days triggers a reporting event.  A bank will also report large deposits of over 10k, but I have heard 5k as well.  It's to the IRS I believe, but other agencies pay attention to that as well.  And now apparently cell phones get reported, though I don't know if there is a requirement to do so, as of now.  I don't really have a problem with that as long as they don't go confiscating cash like in TN traffic stops.  If you are not doing anything nefarious, you should be able to explain your actions if need be.
  18. Thanks guys, yes Montgomery County.   I have everything ready for the process, had to go to a beauty supply store for some peroxide but they didn't ask any questions... Probably waited until I left  :rofl:   I'll post some pics when I get done.
  19. Went out this afternoon not really expecting to see anything but I got a new chair for my stand so went to drop it off in it and try the sage smoke in my trailer for those darn Asian beetles. Nothing moved, no squirrels, not many birds until late in the afternoon. Had about 15 minutes of light when two does stepped out but I couldn't get a good sight of them through the brush. When this guy stepped right into the dirt path and presented a great shot. I tried to weigh him but I could not raise him all the way up so his head was still on the ground, but he registered 130lbs so I guess he's about 140 or 150 lbs. I plan on trying a european mount with him, hope it comes out ok. "Freedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it." ~Pericles~
  20. Well sure, it's always what "could" happen.  Otherwise I, like many here, just wouldn't go anywhere where it "will" happen.  I am not saying don't deploy it, I am saying don't bet your life on it.  I have enough training to where I would feel comfortable dealing with an unarmed assailant, but the problem is, you just don't know for certain if they are armed or not.  And once you get into a wrestling match with an unarmed assailant and you are armed, he can become armed by taking yours.     If my choice is between lethal and non lethal equipment, I choose lethal.  I base my choice on the fact that I don't get into situations that only require non lethal engagement, or lethal for that matter.  I have no problem walking away from a belligerent individuals, and I don't present an easy target, yet.  And in case you are wondering, yes I have been pepper sprayed, been in CS gas and even tasered as part of my army training and it's not a pleasant experience.  I have also been hit with sim munitions and had one of my plates hit with 7.62.  So I know what certain things will do and not do and I certainly would not do anything to get pepper sprayed.  But there are many out there that do not know how it feels, and if you care to; look up how many spray themselves, taser themselves and yes, even get shot with ballistic vests on because, well they are stupid.  
  21. Yea, that day stunk, but look on the bright side; you have the makings for a good dinner :yum: ...too soon? 
  22. What i meant by ineffective are multifold; First, in this circumstance I consider an item to be effective if it prevents a crime and or injury.  The ineffectiveness of an item is directly proportional to the fear of the perpetrator, or victim, of that item.  Many people that have not been sprayed, or even seen someone sprayed, don't fear pepperspray.  And while that product may be the best; it's not so much better that a criminal would say " its kimber brand, I better stop".  If a criminal is bound and determined to hurt you, pepperspray may not do it, hell at 10 feet a gun may not do it so that too may not be effective.   He makes some good points, and in this case he may be correct, but my problem with this is that it puts more people in jeopardy by making them think they have to tell a criminal they are too close before defending themselves.  I do think everyone needs to be more situationally aware, but in parking lots its difficult to know when someone is trying to get to their vehicle or to you.  When my course has someone loading their vehicle I go around, unless they are right next to my vehicle, and in that case I wait behind my truck.  I still find that situation a bit suspect, why would you approach a little old lady loading her groceries for a light?  Why would you not get a lighter, or have one already as a smoker?  
  23. Yea, being a new dad is time consuming.  I can't wait until she is old enough to ask her dad for a .40 of her own  :stir:
  24. From: http://www.knoxnews.com/news/watchful-eye/knox-da-law-on-side-of-homeowner-who-killed-burglar_55373802 Emphasis mine.  Ok, Comms, when are you getting another .40?   :up:  
  25. I don't usually hang them, the ones I keep I place them in a fridge I gutted all the shelves out of at under 40 deg, usually between 36 and 38 degrees.  The large doe I got last week had two bags of ice in the cavity because the processor had closed, but she did quite well overnight which was in the 50s.
