But how does it work in reverse? I mean, it's Italian.....

One great American!

Not a tank - M109 howitzer

I'm sure his mother is really proud...

Sure but not to that point yet.

I'll quit when I can't hold the rifle up any more. I'm not the same man I was physically when I started over 20 years ago, but I still enjoy all aspects of Cowboy Shooting. Just have to pace myself a bit different. Besides, I am still chasing the club founder, who is still shooting at 87. I can see me doing that if still on the planet.

I'm pretty much most concerned about the shotgun. Maybe hip shots are in order..

I've just hit three weeks after having C5-C6-C7 fusion surgery. My surgeon has given me the green light to begin shooting again, which I find unique as most of the guidance I see recommends waiting for months. If anyone else on the site has had this or a similar surgery, I would be interested in hearing about their rehab procedures and what was recommended. Thanks!

Can't be any worse than ....... break dancing..

Would you believe that I own a M1909 in .45acp? Looks like it was changed to .45acp for WWI while the M1917s were ramping up but I can't find any information on 1909s that were converted.

Just love to stir up Marines about living in the Department of the Navy,,,,,

A portion of the flag that flew over Fort McHenry during the War of 1812.

Crap, I 'm already there...

Owned by the Navy. Yikes!

Haven't watched the NFL since they started disrespecting my country. Don't miss it either as it had become more of some kind of constant clown show instead of football.

Just another reason not to watch the NFL.

Here's the European version from the 1950s. Used to scare the hell out of me at night..

One of the best movie series ever made.

Texas Statehood Day!

We called those glasses RPGs - rape prevention glasses...

One foot in mud, one foot in snow, and dust blowing in your face. Graf. My first landlord in West Germany was a member of Rommel's Africa Corp. He trained at the same places in Graf we did - with the same wonderful experiences...

I was walking the gunline at Graf late one night and went back to the messline to check on the cleanup detail. Came around the back of the 5 ton and found my detail up in the truck, hiding. There was a hog in the messline. It had knocked over the table and was crushing C ration cans to ease out what was inside and drinking out of the mermite container. Never signed the mess log..

Pretty amazing....

My last year in college, 1975, Mr. Price gave a lecture on campus, talking about his years in show biz, etc. Absolutely the best class I attended my 4 years on campus. He was captivating.
