Same here! I play ping pong and tennis, kick and write lefty but have to shoot and throw right handed due to dominant eye. Easy peasy.

Not saying you would WANT to take such a shot, but even though backed up by a rifle, things can go wrong. Would an arrow actually penetrate the brain from straight on?

When I tried drawing a holstered pistol mounted on a heavy place over the pants belt, the holster moved a lot. Would not the same thing happen drawing cartridges from a stiff cartridge slide? Anchoring a belt with belt loops makes a difference.

So rare to see two muslim countries playing each other in FIFA--like the match between England and Croatia...

Are those designed to be buckled on over the existing pant's belt , or threaded through the belt loops, stopping at times to thread on a cartridge slide, knife, etc--that could take five minutes.

Can't believe this thread is still turning up like a bad penny! Seriously, if we were teaching some young person to be a responsible hunter, would we justify this advice?

As listed by OP, the B team vs the A team.

A salient question: how is it possible to short stroke if you are coming back forcefully until you run into the bolt stop?

Agree. If a bolt stop is weak, or magazine follower is tipsy on any shot from the magazine stack (especially the last one?), or if a cock on opening rifle is stiff, or the ejector on a Ruger takes a millisecond to deploy and malfunctions if run too fast, it is better to find out ahead of time...

Be glad you chimed in at 4:42 AM--Midwest would have jumped on them otherwise, lol.

Well, that's nasty.

I only turn necks until a little over half is showing turned. I do uniform primer pockets and flash holes, chamfer etc. Don't know that it makes that much difference, but once set up, it is easy to do a bag of brass. I have diaries that chronicle best loads/powders for my guns. I'll stick with...

Well, your children would have athletic ability....

More info Please! Model #, contact, etc. Sounds great.

boat propellers and the internal combustion engine to turn them. jet engines micro chips/computers/internet harnessing electricity A/C, refrigeration

Thank you, Foxi! Fascinating indeed.

Gracy or others can help a lot before you even get to Africa! Just went through Frankfurt with no guns and it took 3 hrs. both ways just to transit. Spent 1 hr. 45 min. in just the line to check passports. Inexcusable, but it is pitiful that three hours was barely enough--and then we had to wait...

Of all things, I am impressed with the knee high wool socks I got at Dschulnigg in Salzburg. They are really a fine product in just the right shade of Loden. Picked up a couple of 3/4 inch leather/rubber backed rifle slings as well, and for an attractive price. Strangely, they forbid me to...

Please elaborate on making them yourself.... BTW, to release spring tension on a bolt action, wouldn't it be just as well to pull the trigger while closing the bolt?

Well, they can be re-stocked, too. Never too late to add good looks.

Not just migratory birds, but lots of wildlife! My uncle has kept a diary of fishing for flathead catfish. From many years he know when they start to spawn and when they finish (June 10th) along with signs that things are going according to seasons. His diary had one entry: "in 1988, I caught 88...

Proper choice in every respect. Classic. Congratulations, Buckstix.

Then would it not have been better for Trump and the country to have taken them to court and sent miscreants to prison?

About 2/3 through "To Ride, Shoot Straight, And Tell The Truth" by "the pope" Jeff Cooper

It's not completely equal on both sides, but I like it a lot! Would be easy to live with that. Grade--I am not familiar with Krieghoff's grading system.

Relax, Foxi, we all like you--you are a legend status member. We just don't translate humor the same way! (which is why my wife cautioned me to limit my joking around when we go to Salzburg--that will be hard for me) Stay well.

In Zimbabwe, I've also seen mature mahogany trees cut down with little axes (lots of work) just to get a beehive way up in the tree. Wood was left laying. Then, again, how would they have gotten it out to market. Sad. The biggest bush meat market was the witch doctor's house. Everyone had to...

If stars align and something is really beautiful AND really a deal presents itself, it's coming home no matter how many guns I own.

Man, you've got that right! Friends from Nagaland (next to Burma) said villagers would even put chemicals in the water to kill little fish so they could have one meal. They had never seen a catfish over one pound, so when I boated the first blue cat bumping 30 lbs their little daughter asked...

Sveldt, elegant rifle. Anyone would love that. So glad you share photos!

I don't have as much as Midwest, but I have more than I thought I had, since I've been moving it all out to the shop. I don't want the fire department to just let my house burn if rounds start cooking off! I also wonder if they will believe me about a few round going off from home defense...

I did not see listed ACCESSIBILITY issues. What good is public land out west if you cannot access it? Anti hunters who own large tracks, same issue. It does not help that licensing is expensive. If the state wants to preserve their own jobs in managing wild life, they should not inhibit...

Oh heck, I should have bought that one at Jackson Arms a few months ago for $895.

I can't believe we are even discussing using wounding size calibers for elk size game.

$3.79 at Buccees yesterday.

Interestingly the so-called socialist countries like Denmark tax all income levels. Everyone has skin in the game. Here in Dallas the low IQ voters pass every bond election because they don't have skin in the game. We recently had a bond election to build new schools. Right after the election...

Sounds like the WSM is a great case for wildcatting. Watching with interest!

I think that Texas should codify dress Bermuda shorts for church, etc. It is hot here--a lot hotter than Bermuda. I also recall seeing lots of pictures of older gentlemen in shorts in old black and white photos from back in the day. I'll hunt shorts unless getting TOO torn up in Africa. Just not...

Interlock on average White Tail deer....yes, been successful. Interlock on Hartebeest....killed, but separation of cup and core. Interlock on Oryx....animal lost after tracking 2 days Conclusion: not for true trophies if you want to be sure, or for tougher African game unless perhaps really...

Here's another twist in the road....when a buffalo is standing sideways looking at you with one eye, THAT is when he is actually looking you over intently and often is raising his adrenaline level as he does so! He is deciding that you are a potential enemy and preparing to do something about...

They look a lot better engraved, too.

Been looking for one of those (affordable, too) for a long time. Not for speed loading or DG gun, but for a drilling. Thanks!

+1 on zip offs. Shorts are great if it is hot, but depends on terrain, too. For example NO ONE wears shorts in the briar ridden East Texas bottoms. Your calves will be ripped to shreds, and you'll have that lovely bloody itch. PH's wear them enough that their skin toughens, though. Depends of...

Did NOT know that--hope he'll chime in!

Now that's what I'm talking about. Thanks, Tanks.

What a fun project! And 222 is a niche that is missing in my arsenal, as I suspect in many others as well. A nice, light kicker just made to turn out the lights on a winter pelage fox, etc. Happy for you.

Still headed toward the "Suppository of Skills" it would seem

Correct, we will be within 50 miles of Salzburg.

Oh, things like pistol shooting tips from Tanks, or how to get the best car deal from someone inside the business, or offroading advice, physical training advice for sheep hunts, etc. Best practices from the best. Much like Rookhawk on stock finishes recently--just sharing how to a achieve a...
