As I mentioned above, if you look closely at the frames, you will notice the black material screwed to the wood.

That's conveyer belting, cut to fit over the wood portion and the metal of the frame square tubing.

The belting really stands up and absorbs the splatter, saving a lot of work replacing the wood.

We mount the targets angling down to direct a lot of the splatter onto the ground.

(Red is now thinking about mining it or panning it! LOL)

 

Ahh, those are wood. They appeared steel to me at a distance. Nicely done!

[Putting parents in jail]

A lot of parents have already been in jail themselves before and after their children were born. They didn’t learn anything the first time(s), so I don’t see the point. 
 

I could say more, but most of my opposition thoughts have been posted above. 

[Ship Histories]

I have looked for the history of my ship online, the USS Virginia CGN-38, and every thing I find has holes and gaps in the history. I guess she wasn’t in any notable battles or conflicts so I guess there isn’t much interest in narrowing down the complete history of her. 
 

Pat, I found lotsa links by pasting “uss virginia cgn-38” into Google. Not sure they’ll take you anywhere you haven’t been, but might be worth a look. If you haven’t already, check out “references” in the Wikipedia link. 
 

Good luck!

Does the shrouding around the targets cut down on lead splatter? 

 

The edges of those boxes give me the Willie’s. We cut splatter down significantly when we did away with rebar target stands, which present the same surface area. 

[Ebry-body LIMBO now!]

Ouch.

[Would you hold?]

I always hung up. If they wanted to talk to me they could’ve left a message. Not one ever did. 
 

With caller ID now, I never answer the phone for someone not in my call list. Keeps things simple. I delete a lot of spam messages though.

Like all clubs, our attendance took a hit during COVID and hasn’t recovered to pre-pandemic levels. Back then, we averaged 40-50 shooters in good weather. These days it’s 30+. We’ve had a fair number of new shooters join since the pandemic, so it’s not gloom and doom here. At 72 and 17 years of CAS, I still enjoy it. 

[Now it's Nitrazene?]

Probably similar to lead particles.

But we do rub our eyes, nose, etc.

Correct, that’s mentioned in the article. Like lead though, it would take repeated or prolonged contact for it to become a problem. 

[Now it's Nitrazene?]

Skin absorption is a common myth.

Never used it, won’t miss it.

Maybe I should have said, "Allegedly doing something...." Don't know if that was ever proven, or what the cause of the crash was announced by the FAA!  Don't want to get sued for liable! Of course, I never stated who was involved, did I? 

From an AI search. I’m not convinced there wasn’t some culpability by the passengers and the NTSB didn’t want to tarnish Nelson’s clean cut reputation. 

“The crash of Ricky Nelson's plane on December 31, 1985, was caused by a fire that originated in the cabin, likely from a malfunctioning, gasoline-fueled heater. While the exact cause of the fire couldn't be definitively pinpointed, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigation found evidence pointing to the heater as the source. Rumors of drug use, specifically freebasing cocaine, as a cause were investigated but ultimately dismissed by the NTSB.

That’s cuz the hand with the binky is likely a separate photo from the babe, just to create this meme.

What’s does S&W charge for documentation?  I don’t think mine are collector pieces, but I’d be interested in knowing if they were originally sold to law enforcement agencies.

Last one tonight.  In the vest/jacjet pocket gun category we have an early 1900s S&W in .38 cal

 

Works great! Real mother of pearl grip panels.  A true brothel owner gun 😎

Imperative to carry with an empty chamber.

I have one of those too, 1898 vintage. Not near as nice as yours and not safe to shoot anymore. This was one of those worn out pistols that were buffed heavily and chromed to make them look “new”. Original rubber grips, though. They were common in pawn shops and were cheap to buy when my dad bought it when in high school in the early 40s. 
 

A lot of these were shot with smokeless ammo and thus suffer from cylinder end shake. This is one of them, plus the hammer can be pushed past the safety notch with thumb pressure. Repair exceeds the value of the gun. I keep it for sentimental reasons.

Blank gun! Well it is a revolver!🙄😂

I remember those from high school and college track & swimming. That was a long time ago. Can you imagine the hyperventilating over their use today?

Pristine Original Colt Python in Colt Royal Blue with real ore-ban elephant ivory grips.  A gift from an older friend who’s since passed, actually the guy who got me shooting SASS!

Wow! I’m an admitted bigot when it comes to my preference for S&W revolvers over Colt, but man, that’s gorgeous!

Eyesa, I believe he’s referring to Ricky Nelson’s plane crash. 

[Older Mec Grabber: changing station # 6]

https://uniquetek.com/shop/ols/products/quikloader

 

This is the one I got. After running the shells through all 6 stations on my Mec 650 progressive, I just remove and replace the crimp starter with the Quikloader. Then I use that as a single station without rotating the shell plate. 

[Rifle problem]

As OLG asked, “was it having this problem before you tore it down?”

[Looks like another scam attempt]

My point, is that in this environment of scams, particularly regarding firearms, it warrants a second look. That’s all, nothing more. Geez, people…

[Living with your parents]

Barring some kind of disability, I wouldn’t allow a fully functional adult child of mine to live at home the way they show on TV. If my kids didn’t want to leave the house of their own accord after reaching adulthood, I didn’t do my job.
