  1. Everyone is there to have fun, but some folks definition of fun includes shooting well and hopefully winning.
  2. Lol. Says the guy with two dozen pairs of Ruger Old Armys
  3. Depends on what I’m earning from my money where it’s currently parked. My emergency funds only earn 3-5% my long term stuff pulls in 8-10%. Play money only earns maybe 2%. So if I’m pulling from play money I pay cash. If I had to pull from long term I would borrow instead.
  4. I imagine my Browning A5 in 12 gauge would do a reasonable job.
  5. Thanks for a great Alabama State match and special thanks for my door prize, a .22 suppressor. I ordered it the week after the match and it only took 5 weeks to get to my door. On my Savage it’s quieter than my pellet gun. On my 22/45 it’s a bit louder but definitely hearing safe. Less than four inches long and less than four ounces!
  6. Well the Doc wanted to start with two steroid shots, one per cheek. We’ll see how things are tomorrow. If that doesn’t work I get a referral for cortisone to the hand. Fingers crossed, left hand only.
  7. I had an upper molar that had a root canal and crown fail after about 25 years. I had it extracted, a bone graft and an implant. The implant failed after a few months (very painful). I had it extracted and another bone graft and implant done. It also failed after a few months, again very painful. I decided to live with it since the gap isn’t visible and clearly my mouth doesn’t like implants.
  8. Good idea. Keep it warmer
  9. That's where I am now, at least in the morning. During the day it loosens up a bit.
  10. Inflammation of the tendon sheath. In my case probably due to overwork. I think I took my grip strength training too far.
  11. I'm taking Turmeric daily. It was already a part of my supplements prior to this stuff acting up. Thanks!!
  12. Luckily when my tires leave the ground the car shifts to airplane mode!
  13. I've been doing stretches and massaging the ball of the finger every day for several weeks now but every morning it's a bit worse than the prior day. I've also stopped doing the parts of my exercise routine that call for gripping hard, like pull ups and curls. Definitely no more hand exercises!
  14. I’m quite sure my Camaro has little to no carbon buildup. To the OP. If you’re in front of me in the left lane, yes!
  15. Has anyone had a cortisone shot for trigger finger? I'm going in Friday to have mine looked at and probably get the shot. I'm wondering if it worked and how quickly. Mine has reached the point that I'm having difficulty straightening that finger (right middle) and I'm hoping it will get me back on the range by Saturday and improve my ability to communicate while driving.
  16. When speaking factually, his name was Tom Burt. He was an attorney. When speaking spiritually his name is Tom Burt. He is my father.
  17. Please, don't give Rainmaker any ideas... No....just no.
  18. Come on in. The water’s fine!
  19. I’m glad to have the opportunity to give a little back to a sport that’s brought so many wonderful friends into my life!!
  20. @Doc Shapiro's "Breaking the Shot" was a lot of help to me starting out. I also got a lot out of "With Winning in Mind" by Lanny Bassham. @Long Hunter SASS #20389L's videos are excellent, and several local shooters provided wonderful mentorship.
  21. Congratulations to both! Jace and Dad were on the same posse as the Burt Bunch at TN State and we really enjoyed shooting with them. I hope you’ll join the Magnificent 7 again next year!
  22. Christian had 7 rank points and Brazos Belle had 14. Thank you!
  23. I did make an error. We will now go three deep in this category to make up for it. My apologies to Pinky Buscadero. Please keep your badge for 3rd! I owe Dodge City Dixie a 2nd place badge!! Lady Senior Dancin Angel 56 Dodge City Dixie 71 Pinky Buscadero 99
  24. No, I'm afraid I may have made a calculation error on 2nd place and I'm reviewing all the state scores. I should have that straightened out tomorrow. If I did, my apologies, I only had a few hours from the end of TN State to the beginning of the awards to crunch numbers.
