  1. Saloon say I'm not authorized to sign in but Wire says it's alright.

    Had about 2 hours this afternoon when neither the Wire or Saloon was available.

    I'm sorry but I don't consider myself tech-challenged.

  2. I have experimented with several approaches. In all cases so far, the effect can only be seen by spectators and not by the shooter.

    The best I have ever seen was several years ago when a shooter fired a BP shotgun shot that sounded underloaded. When the smoke cleared a tiny black thong was hanging on a shot gun target.

     

    Querida Kate has ben known to fire paper streamers and/or feathers.

  3. Put me down for two entries!! I think I can get Hatfield off from work this year so's he can come!!!

    You know where I'll be parked. I have also discovered the 1750 ml bottle of Jameson.

     

    Maybe we can get Chickasaw tanked again.

  4. We were having dog problems a few years back. My father asked me to bring my "deer rifle", a 742 carbine in 30-06, in so he could shoot a dog that was really becoming a serious problem. I did. I showed him how to load, chamber and where the safety was.

    He shot the dog. He was sitting in the drivers seat of his pickup with the windows rolled down and shot the dog out of the passenger window. The whole gun was inside of the truck when it went off. It took him over a week to get most of his hearing back.

  5. Local group of about 10 shooters.

    Then the Southern Missouri Rangers.

    I was shooting 41 Mag Rugers at a match when I heard a godawful explosion behind me. I jerked around and saw an 1858 Remington sticking out of a cloud of smoke. I haven't shot a smokeless round since.

  6. The VA supplies mine.

     

    They are the PHONAK brand.

     

    The body of the hearing aid is behind my ear with the molded ear piece inside, as close to my ear drum as possible.

     

    I'm not only hindered by most frequencies & decibels but also word recognition. Even when my volume is up high, over 60% of words I hear sound garbled.

     

     

    ..........Widder

    I also use the VA provided Phonak aids. I now remove the right aid to talk on the telephone. I have never gotten any aid that works with a cell phone.

    Widder you may need a visit to the VA mechanics. Mine work well thru all ranges. When mine get wonkey, I go to see the lady mechanic and she makes them sing again.

    As with all types, a room with high back ground noise is impossible.

  7. To cause a malfunction the loading gate tab does not even have to break off. If they bend rearwards just a bit the .38 rounds will jump the tab and wind up in the action.

    AS will, in spades, the 32-20.

    When I get a new one I dip it in acetone, apply a small amount(just a lumpump) of JB Weld behind the tab, streamline it a bit, let dry and install. My 44-40 has been running several years with a reinforced tab.
