  1. I've run some 168 gr hollow point thru my Remington 700 police model over the years. Not as accurate as Federal Gold Medal Match but it's pretty decent stuff.
  2. He does change his grip significantly on the second malfunction to where his thumbs are almost pointing straight up toward the sky. Odd that he would go from a strong, thumbs forward grip through the first mag and then change it up through the second mag. If you're a believer in "limp wristing" causing malfunctions there could be some of that involved as well (seems so to my very untrained eye). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Got a pit/boxer mix named Bailey and a border collie named Sarge. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  4. Just had an expensive trip to the emergency pet hospital myself on Tuesday night, but Bailey would still want me to help so of course I chipped in! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  5. He still has his ears on, what's unsafe about it? :hiding: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Ordered my copy from Amazon today... They said delivery by Friday. I can see me watching it a few times this weekend! :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. I've used Value Vet since I got my pitty over 5 years ago. Since then I've started taking my new border collie mix there as well and they treat them both with care and love. Prices are very reasonable and they've always done right by me. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

[quote name="Troutburger" post="1132580" timestamp="1396310768"]Carols .38 stubbie and tyresse and his m1 carbine just don't seem like much of a threat to the terminus..[/quote] I'd venture bet that they stumble upon the buried cache that Rick hid outside the fence in the woods. Probable in real life? Nope. Neither is a lot of other stuff in this show. Meh. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. [quote name="quickbiscuit" post="1123930" timestamp="1394681357"]Midway stopped at the first of this year but Brownell's still discounts for C&R. Make sure you have an account already set up and email a signed copy to Rebecca.osterloh@brownells.com. Include your contact info and username, and that should get you set up. Most parts are discounted, but some speciality items are not - like a Geissele trigger that I just bought, regular price on that. Brownells almost always has a $10 off $150 coupon that you can use too. I didn't know about Graf's. I'll look into that since I need to order some Dillon parts.[/quote] Google Brian Enos as well... http://www.brianenos.com/store/home.html His prices are sometimes better, but I can often save money on his shipping method vs Dillon's shipping.

  16. [quote name="OKelly" post="1116260" timestamp="1393299111"its fun to speculate on this stuff.. [/quote] Yes it is! And it's always fun to discuss all the possibilities, that's the best part! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  17. [quote name="OKelly" post="1116221" timestamp="1393295259"]this is something Ive thought abourt alot and its where TWD face plants by refusing to discuss how it started (as in did it start in one place or world wide simultaniously) and and refusing to give a time line. so my though process is something like this. assume five percent of the us population is still alive at this point, five percent of 360 million people is 18,000,000 spread across 3.797 million square miles (United States). the current population of NYC is around 8 million if that helps to invision just how empty the country would be from coast to coast border to border. . just taking the first episode, they gave a time line whether they meant to or not, Rick was in the hosptial for a week at the most, three days of that was after the dead had risen and overrun the hospital. thats how long he could have laid there with out water and not died or been so dehydrated he couldnt move, trust me Ive been that dehydrated you dont move you just lay there and try to cry it hurts so bad, your muscles lock, you cant cry no water for tears and the only thing that will save you is a Saline IV, or in my case three. Got to love the sandbox and MOP gear. Non critical wound, sedated and on an IV, a week in the shop tops. just the sedated part tells you he had only been out of surgery a few hours when Shane stopped by with the flowers. by that time line it was the next day or the day after when Shane showed up and pushed the gurney in front of the door as the dead poured through the hospital. so the world died hard and fast, and there would be alot of supplies scattered around waiting to be picked up. if it only took three days to a week for the world to die, then you will still have fully stocked stores in some areas because people died before they could strip them. in other places people would have emptied the stores and died before they could use all the stuff they bough or stole, gas, fuel, food, ammo stuff like that. now figure that most of the interstates and roads will be packed with cars for about five to ten miles out of every major city and town, in that mess will be grocery store supply trucks, fuel supply trucks, and everthing else you could want. if it took three days or so and hundreds of thousands were dead by the second day, how many people would have shown up to work at say the Walmart distribution center, or at the warehouses on the docks etc.. how many stores never opened for business because the guard or the military locked down towns and roads trying to stop the spread. how many places did survivors want to check out that might have had thousands of undead on the streets around it so the band of survivors just moved on leaving a fully stocked store. eventually something draws the attention of the dead and they wander off leaving the store now free and clear to scavenge in. how far can you travel per day on foot or in vehicles while dodging herds and large groups. and a motor can be heard for miles around and draw in the zeds. on average I suspect they dont cover more than ten miles out from where ever they hole up, just because of having to be cuatious when moving around. anyway thats my thought process on the matter... oh and as far as fuel.. check into where gas stations get their fuel. you might be surprised to find out how close you are to a tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel you didnt even know about. and how many of those fuel delivery drivers would have shown up for work after a day or two of seeing the dead eating people on TV and the Zeds wandering their neighborhoods and towns. sorry its so long.. I really need a secretary LOL.[/quote] I can agree to a point, I still think there are more survivors out there than what they've indicated. Again, the show revolves around a small handful of people only. At the point that they're at now (a year and a half after it all starts) there's been enough time for the small towns to be fairly cleaned out of the bare necessities. I think about the small town I grew up in, if out of the 3k that lived there 150 or so (5%) survived to go house to house and hit the grocery stores for supplies, I'd opine that you'd clean out a town in less than a year. So then you move on to the next closest town (that's already been looted and potentially more hostile) how many supplies are you really gonna find? Of course the farther you get from the big cities, the more sparse the interstate traffic is the fewer supplies you're gonna find there as well. I did read a piece on survivalblog.com about distribution centers and how much more frequent they are than what you would think. One of the tips they gave on there was to simply take notice of the delivery trucks and the like that you see on a daily basis. Those trucks have to shuttle supplies from a warehouse somewhere close by to get them to stores quickly (perishables, etc). Once you locate those warehouses make notes of how far they are from you and keep them in mind. The general population won't think to loot them if it comes down to it, and there probably won't be too much left of security left to protect them after the first few weeks (all those security folks have families too). In a SHTFS senario, warehouse like that could prolong existence for a good long while. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  18. [quote name="Glenn" post="1116114" timestamp="1393284903"]seems like at least some zombies are partially decomposed. Their faces are rotting off[/quote] Could have to do with how long it's been since they've "turned." I'd imagine that with time the zeds would start to disintegrate to some degree, especially with the lack of "food" that some might be missing. In the past you've seen some zeds that have been tied up to trees and other things that are really thin. I would guess that would mean that the zeds get some sort nutrition from eating humans.

  19. [quote name="OKelly" post="1115790" timestamp="1393222403"]why should it be harder now.. if there arent alot of people moving around and looking in an area all the supplies left from the last days of civilization are still sitting there. and its a myth that canned food goes bad after a few months, if the can is intact, no rust no dings, the interior coating is intact, stuff like that it can last for years. on the other hand if there are thousands of people out scavenging in a small area, then yeah supplies would be thinning out. two hundred people couldnt even begin to pick NYC clean in a year, forty people wandering around a sixty mile area of Georgia wouldnt be able to hit a third of the homes or business's. [/quote] The show makes it seem like there's not a lot of people out scavenging, but on the other hand the show is focused on this group only. There have been other groups of survivors introduced throughout the four seasons. Those people have to be scavenging as well. It's not likely that those are the only groups that there are either. So it stands to reason there are more people still alive than just 40 or so. Supply lines stopped running a LONG time ago, so why would shelves be fully stocked? Why wouldn't cupboards be bare a year and a half after the outbreak? If supply lines stop during a weather incident (which I'm sure would be similar to what would happen shortly after a zombie outbreak... Hypothetically of course) and people can nearly clear out the bread and milk from a grocery store in a matter of hours, why would there still be stock in the majority of the homes/stores that they're hitting? Of course it's all make believe and it's more of a plot question than anything else. They have to make a show that will pull viewers in for ratings. I'm sure that ratings dipped while they were at the prison. There were fewer plot turns and they had to reach (imho) for story lines. A group on the run makes for interesting tv as they'll encounter new people and circumstances. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. [quote name="Oh Shoot" post="1115751" timestamp="1393215114"]Depends on percentages, really. I mean, the infestation obviously happened at warp speed. And you get the impression there's less than 10% of the population left, so that's a lot of stuff laying in every nook and cranny in America for not very many people. At least that's my argument to support "logical" suspension of disbelief. - OS[/quote] While I understand the percentages, the shelf life of the majority of the goods in those cupboards and pantries is like a year or less, no? This is where my ignorance comes is, as I have not read the comic, does this situation not lend itself to a bigger problem down the road? Malnutrition, starvation, disease, etc? Dunno, seems to me you'd need to find a place to set up for the long term. Guess that doesn't make for interesting tv though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  21. So my question is this: If it's been a year and a half since the zombie plague started, how much more scavenging will the group be able to do? Supplies shouldn't be as readily available as it seems on the show, right? I guess I'm just struggling with the group walking into houses and still finding fully stocked cupboards.

  25. We take our dogs to Value Vet here in Nashville. The prices are pretty fair, and while some of the vet techs seem to be a little inexperienced (definitely not all of them) the vets are very knowledgable and helpful. I can't say enough good things about them. Look them up and give them a call if you have time. Hope you find some relief for your pup soon! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
