    I don't think Kamala Harris would be any worse than Biden. The left is already getting whatever the hell they want from Biden except for Hamas support.

    IMHO the country can recover from 4 more years of Biden, especially if it sets up a GOP surge. Biden would also not be that effective if GOP gains control of the Senate. However, a Europe dominated by Russia would be much, much harder to recover from. In my view Trump is NOT the lesser of two evils.

    Practicing long crossers

    I have had lessons from Dan as recent as a couple of years ago, unfortunately he has lost most of his eyesight and no longer teaches. I take weekly Sporting Clay lessons for two hours from an instructor that Dan has trained, and it is money well spent.

    According to the anti-gun crowd anyone that wishes to own, let alone carry a firearm is irrational. So, by their logic no one should have guns. :unsure:

    What do you think of the new Rigby Shikari?

    Yeah, Jerome already has a Trijicon RMR for the .500 and a Swarowski Z6i 1.7-10x40 for the .450/400 which will have claw mounts. They will regulate the .450/400 for 100 meters and the .500 for 50m. He took them to the UK himself in his luggage for me.

    What do you think of the new Rigby Shikari?

    As an owner of a couple of Heym doubles the Rigby was worth it to me. And it is not a re-badged rifle. I should have mine in my hands in about 6 months, a .500 NE with an extra set of barrels in .450/400.

    NY has the same law for convicted felons, hence that is why as a convicted felon Trump can vote in FL. Wonder if he will have to turn in his guns as at one time he had stated that he had a CCW. When he visits Trump Jr., the guns will have to be locked up as well as law states they can't be...

    Well, neither Trump nor any American President can do anything about cartels IN Mexico itself. It is not like we can do a missile or air strike on their compounds or use troops of our own on the ground. Trump could not do anything to cartels during his 4 years as President.

    Little misleading, I think. Documents said standard policy Yes, that includes use of deadly force if required, but there was no special, "shoot-to-kill" directive. BTW, they had the same policy for Biden's Delaware house search later on.

    Hearing protection for upcoming Cape Buffalo hunt

    Depending on one's budget I'd recommend in-ear custom electronic hearing protection. I have worn them 6-8 hours a day during competitions without any discomfort. Now, they also amplify sound, so it takes a bit of getting used to in the field.

    Proper Dangerous Game Rifle followup when the client can't followup?

    Based on various comments here, I doubt a lot of forum members that shoot only rat calibers like a .375 can shoot my .500 NE accurately/comfortably ;) let alone a tracker that hardly fires a rifle. So, the answer in my case is a big no.
