    Question For Our German & Austrian Members

    My God, I didn't know how lucky I was to have a 9.3x74 double that shot a 4" group at 100 yds--and it was likely Moa for the first barrel. And both shots always went exactly where they had gone the last times. AND, I sold it....

    Classic and Collectible Car and Motorcycle Thread

    Love those suicide doors, man! My uncle Tim had a 39 coupe walled inside a barn--can't get it in or out without tearing out two walls, actually. Don't know if his son will even sell it when he's gone. It's black and was all there, but don't know about the state of any rust as it hasn't seen...

    Classic and Collectible Car and Motorcycle Thread

    There was one of those in the crummy Rock Island neighborhood of Ft. Worth in 1980--with a small tree growing up through it in the back yard. Man wouldn't sell it, said it was all he had to remind him of when he DID have money. He died, house sold, car disappeared.

    Mind Your Manners!

    Might as well include BOATING etiquette as well. Don't ask me to take the boat back in because the fish didn't bite in 30. minutes...not going to happen. No, we don't take the boat way back in from offshore because your wife got seasick after several of us paid a lot of money to go! Once, in...

    In the book, "Robert Churchill's Game Shooting" Mr. Churchill belabors not only safety concerns, but how those concerns interface with shooting etiquette as well. He for example mentions that a shotgun should not be carried either port arms across the body, nor cradled in one's elbow as every...

    Things you survived, but probably shouldn't have

    You made me remember one. I rebuilt a Datsun 2000 with A grade pistons, a heavy cam, double Weber carbs and the works. Took it out on I35 south from Ft. Worth at 2:45 AM in order to encounter as little traffic as possible and open her up! Everything seemed empty so I U-turned back toward Ft...

    Who also shoots smaller gauges?

    Tungsten shot upgrades the performance of smaller gauges by at least 200%. No such thing as ineffective with that stuff. A fellow at "Show Me Birds" in Kansas set the new record dead pheasant distance...121 yards!

    "Obsolete" items that you still use

    You couldn't look more satisfied if you were holding a double 35 Whelen! Love a shotgun that "comes alive in your hands"
