Some consider 13 an unlucky number. You best contact Willis ASAP and add another to this already impressive collection just to be safe!

I will be there in time for the fish fry!

For those that are not aware of the size and history of the Grand American here are some more information and pictures for you. I will start with an aerial view to to show the length that shotgunshooter drove while taking the rotated 90 degree video. Debuting in 1900 at the Interstate Park in Queens, New York, the Grand American was originally a four-day tournament contested in June. For the next 20 plus years the Grand American was staged in cities such as Chicago, St. Louis and Columbus until it made its home in Vandalia, Ohio from 1923 until 2005. In 2006, the Grand American moved to its new home at the World Shooting and Recreational Complex in Sparta, IL. This state of the art facility features 120 trap fields extending for 3.5 miles making it the worlds largest trap line. To find out more about the WSRC please visit their website. Since its inception, the Grand American has grown from a mere 20 competitors in 1900 to more than 5,800 participants in 2006. Over the years, the likes of Annie Oakley, Roy Rogers and John Philip Sousa have participated in the Grand American. In its current format, the Grand American consists of 24 events spanning over an 11 day period. The first 5 days of the tournament are referred to as "Preliminary Days" in which competitors may fine-tune their skills prior to competing in the championship events of "Grand Week." Not only is the Grand American the largest shooting tournament in the world, but it also offers competitors the opportunity to explore the most advanced products and services in the shooting industry. The WSRC is a spectacular site in itself. With more than 1,000 camping sites, 100+ exhibitors, and thousands of competitors, the Grand is more than a championship. It's a celebration of the sport. The hub for all this activity is located in the Events Center. This location provides competitors with a sophisticated entry system, which incorporates computerized classification, handicapping, entry processing/cashiering and score reporting. A closed-circuit television network conveys event leaders, event results, squads on deck and messages to better inform individuals during their stay on the grounds. Camp sites offering hook-ups and onsite shower facilities offer the thrill of camping on-site during the 11 day event. Many competitors end the day by joining friends at various campsites to share the day's shooting stories or to enjoy a cookout. More than 100 exhibitors are on-site to provide products and services ranging from gun sales and services, to shooting accessories and apparel. Conveniently located near the trap line, these exhibitors offer a shopping-mall type atmosphere to shop for that special item.

Can you give us more details on the knives you are offering. Lots of variations with Randalls.

I think you meant to say you're "Gonna build you're first one". I think several in this group will agree that once you build one there will be another and another and.......

I don't mean to side track the thread but looks untaxed and dyed gas has already splintered it a little. I remember years ago in my flying days when Avgas went north of $2.00 / gallon and it was popular to apply for a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) so we could run $1.00 / gallon car gas in our planes. Has ethanol gas put an end to this or have STC's been revised to still allow providing pure gas is used? I always thought it was kind of ironic back then because us aviation guys were were looking for cheap car gas to run in our planes and the street rod and racing guys were hauling cans to the airport for their cars.

My boy and I will be there Friday in time for the fish fry. The plan is for one of our crew to win or make the shoot offs in the Krieghoff 100 handicaps Saturday. If that doesn't happen I still want my rib eye steak rare. See you soon and wish you good shooting!

That makes 4 of us that I know of. I hope there is a fix to it because I use my Ipad quite often to visit TGO and since this started I find myself getting frustrated and ending my session much quicker than I used to.

Like this?

I get the same thing but only on sign in.

I will admit I was not familiar with it either until smokin45 put up this little challenge, which I must admit that I'm a sucker for these sort of things. I did have to do a web search after the obvious choices were incorrect. I do have a collection of odd and uncommon cartridges stashed away that I hope to run across someday when I'm looking for something else. When I do, I will post a similar guessing game.

Well with that tid bit of information now this is my last and final guess. .220 Russian

Obviously I'm just throwing out every possibility in that size. I will give it one last chance before I throw in the towel. .20 Lapua, .20 Dasher or .22 BR

.224 McDonald

.223 WSM?

#6 - 25 WSM #7 - 25 Remington

I found a post on the Smith & Wesson forum about a similar thing. Does it look like this?

Merry Christmas and thank you!!!

So am I the only one with this issue since the latest updat?

Well I don't know if it's the update or what but I have something really strange going on. Earlier today when I logged in on my desk top everthing was okay but not so on my Ipad. When I view unread content in condensed or expanded view the thread titles run vertical down the page all stacked and slammed together. I attached what it looks like on my IPad but shure how it will look to you. Software Updates 7/7/2016 Started by TGO David, 12 hours ago

Does anybody know the story on this photo?

That first burst had a little more recoil than somebody was prepared for!

You mean the people that believe Trump is an Alien?

If you going for zombie dinosaurs ditch the whimpy 375 H&H and go the the .358-.378RG or the .416. Of course the realm of ridiculousness can go on to dang near artillery shells. Left to Right:7mm Remington Magnum, .358-378 RG, .375 H&H Magnum, .416 Weatherby Magnum

Okay then for the practical answer to a hypothetical Sci-Fi situation. It would be something light weight, semi-compact, quiet and have the ability to carry large amounts of ammunition. I'm thinking an integrally suppressed Ruger 10-22. I would add a folding stock, a couple of BX-50's and pair with a substantial machete type blade on my side.
