Smokin Gator SASS #29736

I see posts about SASS on other gun forums. People expressing an interest or having questions. There will be mixed answers favorable and unfavorable. A lot of the negatives are from shooters who are making wildly inaccurate assumptions from what little they know about the subject. The thing I'll add to the discussion is that the most impressive thing the best shooters do are the transitions between firearms. It's amazing. One common thing they assume is that you are required to walk around dressed and talking like Gabby Hayes or Festus to participate. You can tell them 100 times that you can dress simply, jeans, long-sleeved workshirt but the next post ignores it and still claims you have to wear an elaborate, period correct costume.

Babe and another Yankee player toured th U.S. in 1924 playing exhibition games. They stopped in Dunsmuir California for one. The field is still there and the stands were restored for the 100th anniversary. I've stopped there but it was all locked up. I want to find out when I could get my grandsons there to get on the field and get some pictures of them standing at home plate where the Babe stood. Babe told the local team to throw it over the plate. People didn't come to watch him walk. Virtually the whole town turned out. They took him steelhead fishing on the Klamath river.

I hadn't thought about it being easier to chrono black powder ammo with these type of chronos. Sounds good.

Crazy that it happened in the first place and that they had such great video.

Thus the "so called".

One of my favorites I've heard more then once is "these aren't my pants" when the officer find drugs or other contraband in the pockets.

I can go for that. But I'm referring to the so called criminal justice system.

I've taken my grandkids to Taco Bell on the way home after an event recently. At this point I actually find using the kiosk easier then dealing with the counter people.

In USPSA, IDPA, ICORE matches a popper or plate that falls down without the shooter engaging it is considered prop failure. Mandatory reshoot. Now some local clubs may relax that a bit but that's not the norm. If a stage has to many issues they will toss the stage from the match.

Just saw another of the many videos of a person committing a crime, climbing in out of windows, running, and then as they start fighting an officer but realize they're not winning they proclaim " I can't breathe". This sometimes becomes a problem for law enforcement if anything happens. If a victim is being assaulted by a perpetrator and the victim says "I can't breathe" shouldn't there be extra scrutiny and punishment if the criminal continues his attack? Of course there should be a severe enough punishment even without an enhancement but we know there seems to be more concern for the "unfortunate criminals" by many people then for their victims.

I was in line at a large grocery store, Winco in my area. I could tell watching ahead of me that the cashier was having a hard time. When it was my turn she manually entered the number for a couple of vegetables that I had. Both times I had to correct her. She'd re-enter incorrectly again. She called someone over. I handed her a couple of 20s and she was looking them over very carefully, holding them up to the light. Checking, rechecking. Never used the pen. After another person came over to help her get the correct items and prices entered they were finally successful. She then started over examining the bills again. I can't imagine how long she'd take if I'd handed her several hundred dollar bills

I have built all of our fences, pens, chicken pen, two small buildings for our donkey and goats. Added another fenced in area with a 20' by 20' barn when my wife wanted milk goats. Workshop 16 by 20. Porches, decks including roofs. Anyway I've done enough of that, saving a lot of money, that I don't mind paying someone for a couple of things I can't or don't want to do. I know things cost money, more than they used to, you just don't want to get ripped off. The one thing I've really been shocked by is the quotes friends have received for fencing.

My number was higher then usual about 4 years ago. Did the biopsy test and no cancer. They continue to test me at least annually with my lab work.

We heat only with our woodstove. At first we'd go with family and cut wood. We'd get a little oak but mostly soft wood. The rest of the family just needed enough for an occasional fire. We needed more. The soft wood was a waste of time. One year the brother in law broke the rear end on his truck. That was the last trip. We live in Northern California, not snowed in or anything. Just gets into the 20s occasionally. I buy 2 cords of oak or almond wood or mixed each year. They deliver it, I stack it. We have had some eucalyptus cut on our property and used that too. We really enjoy the woodstove with glass door.

Yes. I've bought a couple of different caliber wadcutters from them. Easy transaction. Great bullets.

There's usually a few left over from when we have guests over. We just drink our well water. I do refill a couple of larger water bottles that I occasionally buy and keep them in the fridge. In our hot weather I have a larger double walled water bottle I fill and add ice to for the day. We were at our daughters in Chico and when I went to get water out of the kitchen faucet she came shooting across the room like it was poison. They drink filtered or bottled water.

Whether or not he should reinstated is one thing. If they were not going to hold him to the lifetime ban it's a shame they waited until he passed.

It may require a different mix for ease of pushing the bullets out of the cake and retaining the Lube in the groove.

I only have one pair of guns that are the same other then barrel length. Older Ruger Vaqueros 44 magnums. 5 1/2" and 4 5/8". I like the balance of the shorter barrel. Not a big difference but if I had to pick.

It may take a few tries to get your preferred recipe and also how long to wait before pushing the bullets out. Also I don't know if it's harder to accomplish with bullets that aren't of the one big Lube groove type.

I had surgery on my right side 20 years ago. Took a while to get the surgery then 6 months rehab. I went back to work on modified duty after a while. It was depressing working without being able to have my fun on my days off. Hearing of others having to start over with surgery after trying to rush things too fast really convinced me to be careful, do the rehab but not push it. My shoulder is still in great shape. Good luck!

He's also a huge Dicaprio fan!

I've always liked the Fred Astair and Gene Kelly movies. Watched many Mario Lanza movies too. Doris Day.

I've always wondered about the quality of blackpowder back in the mid to late 1800s. Mainly for cartridge rifle and revolvers. We know that currently there can be a big difference in velocities if using cheap, low grade powders vs Swiss. A couple hundred fps difference sometimes. I wonder what commonly purchased 45 Colt ammo, for example, used back then quality wise. Mike Venturinos books listed many examples of 44 special, 44-40 and 45 Colt comparing the same loads with Goex 2f, 3f, Elephant, Swiss showing the performance of each.

My sister always claimed she was allergic to anything she didn't want to eat that particular day. Obviously there are real allergies out there.
