Handsome Rob

www.ammunitiontogo.com lists .32 rimfire. They're presently out of stock, but I've seen it there before. Just out of interest.

What I was thinking of for next time is a simple, four round competition. Combinaton rifle & pistol. Rules are real simple, you get to use 1 rifle & 1 pistol, any calibre, any configuration, scoped or not. Shoot 3 rounds at 100yds, 3 at 50 & 3 at 25 with the rifle, then 5 rounds at 10yds with your pistol. The format I'm thinking of is how we used to score air-rifle target shoots back in the UK. 3-ring target scoring 5-3-1. 2" bullseye for 100 & 50yds, 1" bullseye for 25yds & pistol. Shoot the same rifle at all 3 distances, plus any pistol. At the end of the shoot, your 4 targets are added together for a final score. Nice & simple! I'll print off & supply all the targets. First prize is 1 month's worth of Forum bragging rights What say y'all?

When's the draw? I keep checking the TWRA site, but it's still 'pending' I'm getting impatient!

Guys, I had an awesome time yesterday! Thanks to all'a y'all for letting me play with some of the 'modern' stuff! (Okay, I now NEED to buy an AR, an FN, an AK & several Glocks) Sorry for the smoke inahalation issues! Can't wait for the next time.

They all look the same with no head.

Screw the gun, just throw the 2 pound brass, bronze $ steel cube at the bad guy! Innovative; yes. Interesting; yes. Engineering marvel; yes. SHTF bugout tacticool TEOTWAWKI zombie/alien dispatch tool; ummm.....

Has anyone ever hunted there? It's Franklin Co. Only a tiny place (80 acres IIRC) & I've never heard anything about it. I'm looking for somewhere close to home to hunt this year. Last year I was having to drive 2 hours (+ ½ hour on the ATV + a 45 minute walk) to get to my hunting areas. Don't wanna do that again!

Looking forward to it Kurt!

Top tip; Stay away from Newcastle Brown. I was brought up on the stuff & I've probably drunk enough that I could've used the cash I spent on it to buy a nice house. There's no hangover like a 'Newky' hangover & there's no cure for it. In England we get it in proper pint bottles too, not the foofy little halves you get here. 9 or 10 pints of Newky on a Saturday night wasn't at all unusual, topped off with a few Scotches & you've got the makings of a good night (& probably an EPIC punch-up!) Best thing to do with any hangover is to just man up & get on with it. Worry about the fat-eye, split lip & unexplainable fat-chick underwear in your pocket later.

Replace, "little old lady" with "wannbe Rambo type" Same situation? Same conclusion? Sorry, I just hate when appearances/perceptions are used to sway an argument. In all honesty, no, I wouldn't conciously buy the gun for $50, but neither would I offer her full market on it either. $200 would seem reasonable to me. She's getting 4 times what she wanted & is obviously going to be happy, I'm getting it for under 50% of market value & I'm happy. This is all working on the supposition that I wanted to sell the gun on for a profit, as is the case in this thread. However, if the little old lady told me she just wanted rid, ASAP to buy a better gun & was happy to accept $50, then fair play, $50 it is.

So, I guess this means it's now perfectly acceptable to jump in on classified threads, telling the seller that their gun is over/underpriced, yes? Bottom line is, if you trade anything old (whether 1 day or 100 years) against something new from a professional merchant you are absolutley, 100%, without a doubt, going to receive way, way less that it's market value. Some may argue that he could've paid more & made less money, but why the hell should he? He is in business to make money. As much money as he possibly can, the same as any other business. It's unfortunate, but in the real world, if someone offers to sell you something for ½ it's value, let's be honest, you're unlikely in the extreme to try & offer them full value, are you? Of course you're not! You're gonna buy it at half price & then go tell everyone you know what a good deal you got!! As has been mentioned countless times, it takes 2 to make a bargain. At any time, either party could've backed out.

You REALLY want robbery? Go buy a $200,000 Ferrari, drive it off the lot, round the block & then try & return it. See how much you get offered.

TELL me about it! Just driving down AEDC Road from Tullahoma to the 24 is like Beirut on a Saturday night! I know that there's some good deer there, but they ain't worth losing my life for! Last year I hunted Bear Hollow (TN & AL sides) & saw some nice deer, but it's a helluva hike. Flintville Hatchery was a bust last year. I saw 6 deer on Archery opening day & not a single thing for the rest of the season. IIRC, I hunted Flintville for 18 days & never once saw a deer or heard a shot fired I'm dying to find a deer with my bow!!

Added myself to the party, if that's OK.

Would that make it a deadsickdogsickle? Working in the kennel business, I've seen a fair few dogs that look just like that. The later stages of vral mange do ndeed turn skin a blue-ey/black color. I once killed a porcupine in a mesquite tree in South West Texas that was bald & black with the Mange too. Oddest looking thing I've ever seen!

Sounds good to me Now, where the hell is Viola?

More-ish. Like crack. I do so love when people judge by appearances. I consider myself to be a fairly successful guy. I own my own business, before going self employed I worked for a reasonably high-profile engineering firm (we manufactured satelites & satelite receiving equipment) I started off in sales, dealing with companies who wanted to give me millions of pounds. At the time, I had flamingo pink dreads (which I've since shaved off) multiple facial piercings including very stretched lobes (all of which I still have) & full tattoing on my left arm. Seems like I've done OK, what with being a freak & all......... Mind you, I've never tried to run someone over!

North Florida for hogs, hopefully pretty soon. Later in the year I'll be taking my longbow & .54 flintlock out to Wyoming for Elk & Antelope

Go write something on his lawn in mustard seed. He won't see it when it grows, but the first time he mows the grass......

It honestly scares the living piss outta me. One of the most disturbin things on the iternet, as far as I'm concerned!

I'd love to meet up at a range with you's guys, sometime! I'm ashamed to say, I've never been to a range & it'd be kinda nice to have someone there to tell me when I'm doing something stoopid. Pretty much any weekend is good with me. Don't have much to shoot, but I'll bring what I have!

Elvis is due a Second Coming to save Memphkind, isn't he? Elvis hu akbar! Elvis hu akbar! . . . . . . . . . . Sorry. Couldn't help m'self

If we're airing.... My problem with all organised religion is the inherant hypocrisy that is so obvious, everyone seems to miss it. ALL mainstream religions preach tolerance of others, yet it's always those that preach their own religion the loudest that seem least tolerant of others! Not a singe religion yet has managed to prove the existance of their own god, yet are so quick to deny the existance of anyone else's. Every mainstream religion bases their beliefs on a book. Nobody has yet proven who originally WROTE the book (Bhuddism aside) or proved that a single shred of it is true. Makes you think, huh The whole 'creation vs evolution' argument makes me giggle inside! The whole big bang theory is just that, a theory. Theoretical physicists admit that it's just a theory & is completely unproveable. It's just best guesses from available data. Creationists, on the other hand, believe that the stuff written down in an old book, with no proveable provenance is the truth, solely because it's written in the book! The funny part is wen they then try & argue about it. Arguing Theory against belief is just the most ridiculous thing I can think of! There's no basis of proof on either side and the theoretical physicists will openly admit this!!! Meanwhile the creationists are waving around their, possibly fictional, storybook telling everyone they must be right!! :D
