Howdy Been lucky in the past to have done a few trips to the USA..the hospitality is second to none & always have a great time. My wife & would like to extend an invitation to those [ 2 ] that might be interested in coming down under for a look see & participate in the Gold Coast Heartland Territorial held in the last week of July on the sunny Gold Coast in the state of Queensland. We will pick you up & take you back to the airport, we have a big house [ attached photo ] with your own bedroom & bathroom & supply you with guns [ .38, .44, 44-40, 45, smokeless or BP ] just bring your own leather. It could be this year or further down the track, your choice. I won't go into detail now but that's basically the nitty gritty of our offer. The shoot IMHO is the best in Australia..has plenty to offer with 12 stages & numerous side events & up close targets.You get here & we will take care of the rest at no charge.Also have ROA's available, all guns are 'slicked up & shoot well .

Howdy again This is what transports all our things shooting...Hyundai ILOAD Van..& of course if ya' gunna reload then AMMO45 is the way to go ! Did ya' notice the Texas OCT sticker on the back windscreen .Terrific Van set up with fridge, locking draws & all the trinkets, we pull a hard floor camper trailer when we go travelling.

My Evil Twin, Noz, and his lovely wife Miss Lorrie visited this afternoon. He showed off his new hat. Lookin' classy, Bro!!

Talking about things from our childhood.

Atz za way I'd do it. If visitors want MY dog tied, they don't get to be visitors

The reason the bird drinks faster with the heat lamp and the whiskey is obvious. You get under a heat lamp, you start to sweat, so you HAVE TO drink more often. As for drinking the whiskey twice as often as the water - he's a lush. Look at that big red nose. Heck, with that nose, that hat, and guzzling the booze, the bird must be the reincarnation of W. C. Fields.

What we have done is use a small 6x6 plate with two eyelets welded to it. Top and bottom. Rope and dummy tied to bottom eyelet. Top eyelet hung on the end of a rod bolted into the hanging frame and then bent at 90 degrees away from the firing line. When the round strikes the plate; it pushes the plate off the end of the rod allowing the plate and dummy to fall as a package. Pickup the plate, rehook it back on the rod and next shooter. No ropes to re tie or extensive reset.

It's actually a birthday hat. Before my next shoot I will pass into the nether regions of El Patron. I thought that needed a new hat. Thanks for the complements.

Howdy Can't locate an old thread showing pards gun carts but gunna' show mine anyhow. I always remember when I built it everyone said 1. Don't build it heavy ! 2. Don't built it heavy !! 3. Don't build it heavy !!! So of course the 'Indian built it heavy !!!! Has now served me well for 12 years & carries our both sets of guns.

Don't know why I didn't think of it earlier. I'm a dum-dum perhaps? I found number and contacted him by phone. All seems to be back on track now. Seems like a great guy and good ambassador for SASS. Thanks for all the replies and advice.

Simple-Take his hunting lic away until he improves his grade. OLG

The wife is 75 getting close to 76 and is doing that karate stuff 3 times a week and loving it. I think she loves being around all the kids more than anything. She has both titanium knees and was told she has great knees to crack someone's head on. Tough to get someone near her size/age/experience at sparring time. She also will not let me come to watch her.

It's not unusual for a good leather worker to have a backlog. I'm still working full time and my leather business is a paying hobby. I'm very slow, but I let people know this up front and I don't take a dime until you have your stuff in hand and you're happy with it. It was wrong of him not to let you know what his turn around time was up front. Hopefully, this will turn out well and you will be happy with your rig. My experience with dealing with SASS folks when buying or selling leather, other accessories, or guns, has been positive 99% of the time. You might consider sending him a PM and ask for a full refund. If he hasn't started your rig yet, that would not be an unreasonable request.

Airfares can vary but usually not buy much, typically a return price from Brisbane [ capital of Queensland ] to LA is around $ 1200 AU..but I have seen $ 990. [ So I would imagine from your end there would not be much difference ].if someone was to take up our offer then approx 2 weeks would be ample to do some sightseeing as well as the shoot, we live 80 mile from the range. July is our winter but never freezing cold so you can look forward to pleasant weather [ most times !!!! ] If any one has any questions please feel free to ask. The shoot is normally 120- 140 shooters, the Gold Coast is a very popular location with plenty of attractions.

Welcome to parenthood. By the time you figure it out, they are grown and gone.

^ this. Be sure to use a small enough rope to break when hit. Place your hook on the back of the neck to hook the rope to. That way, you won't be making a noose each time the rope breaks. And give your dummy a name, which adds a little to the fun. If you name it 'Dopie', then you can name the stage....(are you ready for this)........... Ropie Dopie ..........Widder

Stupid lawn rats are eating holes in the soffits. My exterminators only kill the bugs, reffered me to a critter control guy. 700+ to catch and release. Well, my my my. No thanks. Went to local store and bought a pascal of dcon mouse baits. Put them out of reach of pets but where squirrels go. Horrible destructive critters must be killed with impunity.

March 28, 2019 will be the earliest opening day ever. Until then... My son and I visited the Field of Dreams, where the movie was filmed, near Dyersville, Iowa last July. I compiled the photos into a movie as one of his Christmas presents. If you are a fan, it is worth the trip.

Started out having to go to the bank to make a deposit. Older lady in line behind me tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I could check her balance for her, so I pushed her. She fell over. She didn't appear too pleased. Not sure why as I only did what she asked. Leaving the bank, I went to Payless shoes and ended up buying a pair of shoes from an emploee who was a former drug dealer. Helped me find a cool pair of sneakers; however, I'm not sure what he laced them with but I've been tripping ever since. Anyway, off to the library. On the way I couldn't help thinking about the argument I had with my girlfriend this morning before I left the apartment. I had told her that when she put her make-up on she drew her eyebrows too high. She looked surprise! Then she asked me to pass her lipstick to her and I innocently gave her a glue stick. She still isn't talking to me. Arriving at the library, I proceeded to inquire of the librarian where I could find books on paranoia and she replied, " They're right behind you. " Freaked me out! You might wonder how I got the day off. Well my boss greeted me this morning with a smile on his face, which was not like him, and said, "Have a great day!" So that's what I'm doing. Think I'll head home to relax now.

Celsius and the rain is in millimeters and the hours of daylight are in Daylight Saving metric hours, that's about 1.2 DSMH to the ECSDT

Have you asked him why he doesn't do better? Is it in particular courses? Does he not take tests well? Would he benefit by having a tutor (presuming you can find one and can afford it)? Does he find school "boring"? Sometimes kids who are really smart, are so far ahead in their thinking that the "ordinary" subjects seem uninteresting. Is there a problem with a particular teacher? (Both my grown daughters are teachers, and the younger one...age 46, with over a decade as a middle school teacher in math and science...tutors middle and senior high students, and she knows that some of these teachers couldn't teach a duck how to swim! There have been times when she has had to have discussions with the student's teachers, and in at least once instance had to request a change of teachers for her own 7th grade child!) Reward or punishment doesn't always provide the motivation for youngsters in school. Sometimes it only adds to their own frustration in not getting better grades. He sounds like a good kid. Best of luck!

It was a great day when the government quit destroying these fine animals and letting their handlers keep them after discharge. GW

The dog belongs here, they don't. Walking into my house and making demands is a good way to ensure a short visit.

Check the Brownells catalogue. However, I wouldn't bother changing it out. Put it in a padded vice, Hacksaw the 1/8th inch of the pin off and dress it. Then you just push the pin in all the way and there are no problems.

Apples. What is worse than biting into an apple and seeing a worm? Biting into an apple and seeing half a worm?

I left Judo at 19 for a lot of reasons. At 42 I walked my 7 year old son into his first Kenpo class 15 years later he left as the lead instructor at one of the most prestigious schools in Pittsburgh Two years after he started I was conned into taking classes I was 45. I just kind of retired this year at 70 do age and health issues with the rank of Master. I have not cleaned out my locker there is always hope. That black belt trimmed in red is my proudest personal accomplishment. Good luck in your journey

I make my own version of the Keith #5 base pin. But .. I'm kind of crazy that way.

Thank you for that Dave When I was a kid in 5th grade our science teacher, Mr. Blue, asked us to write a report on why we thought the drinking bird did what it did. I determined that evaporation caused the bird to work and assumed it was the cooling effect of the evaporation that caused it to work. I won a huge Payday candy bar for my answer. Of course, we had no idea how it really worked.

IMO, this is, without a doubt, one of the absolute best matches you can go to, period. If you’ve never been to this match, you owe it to yourself to go. Dutch

Here is the repaired hammer spur that Jason at Boomstick Arms just finished.

Oh, they can hear you just fine...they just don’t care.

DON"T! wear this when out hunting

For the folks who don’t believe it happensed unless there are pictures, here are a couple of pictures of my engraved Henry’s and 66. The one in the middle in the copy of Samual Hymers gun. It was a challenge to the engraver (my dad) to engrave a gun so roughly, but it is a very good copy of the original. The 66 is a copy of three original guns found in South America that are shown in a publication called Arms And Armor Annual. Enjoy.
