How did you get your handle or user name?

[Deepfork]

I live a couple miles from the Deepfork. Used to noodle catfish there.

Sent you a message, we must be neighbors!

 

[WebleyGreene455]

I just googled the pictures. You are right. I guess I assumed it was the same Smith and Wesson I saw earlier. I knew it wasn’t the Webley he carried in the later films.
You know prop guys, a revolver is a revolver.

Well in-universe he did lose his guns over the course of Raiders. That Hi-Power never showed up again. He pretty much just got a new gun in the intervening years, and the novels written later on establish that he developed a liking for Webleys early in his career.

In real life they used two different prophouse armouries and the 1917 was only needed for less time. Same thing happened in Star Wars. Han's blaster in the closeup drawing/cocking insert shots before he shoots Greedo in the cantina isn't the same prop as the one he uses throughout the rest of the film. The closeup shots were filmed later in the US instead of England and added in.

 

[AimSmall]

Because only accurate rifles are interesting.

 

[Chukardogs]

If I had to choose one type of hunting it would be chasing wild chukars with my dogs.

 

[cpr0312]

[Adipose]

This is my second one. My original username is Bushbuck, my favorite animal in Africa and I joined around 2009 or so. I had not posted in a few years and when I tried posting again it had to send a confirmation to an email address I no longer have. So I created this one thinking of another love I have, flyfishing. Adipose is the small round fin on a trout or salmon. I wish I still had Bushbuck.

 

[Longwalker]

I have lived all my life on the Canadian great plains. Horizons and distances are far, and walking is a favourite regular outdoor activity, often with gun or rifle in hand. When I retired, my wife and I decided to do something more serious - a Christian pilgrimage through Northern Spain to the burial site of the apostle St. James. People have been doing so for more more than 1000 years of Christian tradition. The French route (one of many) is 800 Km starting from the French side of the Pyrenees, over the mountains and through Navarre in the Basque country, and on through the vineyards of Rioja and the wheat fields of Castile and León on the Spanish meseta, and then on through the coastal mountains of Galicia. Walking with only our minimum essentials in backpacks, averaging about 25 km each day, sleeping in hostels in small villages along the way as pilgrims have done for centuries. This challenging pilgrimage terminates at the cathedral in Santiago de Compestella, and the tomb of St James. We found the month long journey so fulfilling spiritually, physically and culturally that we have done it two more times, and if health allows us to, we may go again. We met pilgrims from 58 different countries last time we went, the year we both turned 60. What a wonderful experience.

 

[425SCHADE]

Mine didn't require a lot of time spent on it...

 

[Caveman]

Caveman was my “call sign” for the 21 years I spent as a Naval Aviator. I’ll leave the original origins of the call sign to be discussed in person over beers at an AH get together sometime.

 

[Markis]

The only damn thing i could think of at the time.

 

[HookMeUpII]

The name of my boat. 36 ft Albemarle Express, twin diesels. Fishing was my first passion. I didn't get into hunting until I was about 32.

 

[1dirthawker]

well, i fly hawks and falcons as another hobby/form of hunting. mostly hawks, and a name that we falconers use for a guy that hunts with hawks is "he is a dirthawker" for some reason the site would not let me use that one, so it became 1 dirthawker.

 

[JohnD29]

My first name, last initial, and my race number from the 10 years I spent as a motorcycle racer.
