    Thanks to everyone who replied! There's some great ideas in here. I'm going to try out videoing myself first, although the viewing might be painful.

     

    😄

    I'm in MN too.  I've done new shooter classes and gunfighter classes.  At both Morristown and Kimball.   If you want I can help you out

    Never seen a double trigger SKB and while they maybe out there, why would you want to go backwards? Single triggers are faster and on SKBs and B-SSs more reliable. 

    Every time I read someone say that I have to laugh. It's been proven time and time again 2 triggers, 2 fingers is way faster than single trigger.   And yes there were skbs with 2 triggers

    That's horrible.  So sorry for your losses.  And good luck with your ins co.

    I'll need it. Right now they are saying it will be a week before anyone can make it out to look at the damage.

  4. Thursday sucked for us.  We woke up to no power.  It has been raining but nothing bad, after checking the breaker inside to if that tripped I headed outside to check the main line from power company.  Only to see our livestock barn gone. Still smoldering. Lost the family dogs, as well as all livestock but one bull and two horses.  Unfortunately it looks like we may have to put the horses down as well.  The barn and livestock suck but what really hurts is the four dogs. 

     

     Sometimes life knows how to kick you pretty good.

  5. Does anybody have one they don't need? My son broke one in his birds head and it's a discontinued part.  

     Or if anyone knows a gunsmith that can make one please let me know. I no longer have access to the machines or I would make one myself.

  6.  I mainly shoot gunfighter also. Do you plan on using one strong hand and transfer or shoot each have strong side with alternating hands chocking?.   If your using one strong hand id go with x draw. Just remember to always have both hands moving.   

       I'm not top tier, I don't practice or shoot cowboy that much anymore. When I did I was mid  to low teens with the occasional single digit thrown in.   This year I'm going to try to get back into the swing of things and see if I can shoot ok.

    I have to say, of all the reasons stated, that's a pretty weak one.   Seems like it would not take any longer than doing the NICS check for an in store purchase.

    Your ignorance shows there.. sometimes it can take over an hour to get an answer... Big stores can pay  someone to just sit there.  Small shops it ties up the line. We only have two lines so it is an issue, plus that is time we do not have to just sit around

  8. Too many c&r's just do not know what it means.  We used to accept them but after about the tenth time I had a guy argue about what was allowed we just stopped accepting them.  It's just not worth losing my FFL or the headache involved.     

     Same with the guys that want to do trades, we get a bunch of people who want to do trades on our GunBroker items. in person is one thing and we glady do them, but dealing with booking/shipping and everything it's just not worth the hassle.

  9. We have sold 4 in the last year, between $800 and $1200 depending on condition.   

     I am a fan of them I  have 2 18" . 

     

     To make an auction you need two people who really want something.  Fair price is what your willing to pay.

  10. Mine started with a h001y my daughter weighed about 35 lbs when she started. 

     

     When comparing apples to apples a 410 is way less recoil than a 12.   Factory 410 to custom loaded 12, the 12 is less.   Light loaded 410 barely moves the barrel. Kicks like a 22.   Remember the young ones only have to hit the target. Not knock it over . 410 does have it's downsides. Smaller shells, smaller hole. 

  11. Ruger has had a large issue with qc for the last few years.  We have sent numerous guns back that would not work out of the box.   

      The good news is they know they have a problem and have been working hard to try to fix it.   

       We had a bad run of guns and it ended up with the plant manager from New Hampshire actually come to our shop in MN. We were able to have a nice conversation about things and you could tell they really do want to get back to the quality they used to possess.

    Welcome back, EDG!!!  Long time no see.  Hope all is well with you and yours.

    Been busy with the store, growing kids, the farm and my mother now needs 24 hr care so my free time has been pretty precious.We just came back from eot and it reminded me of how much I like to shoot.   I only shot five matches last year.  This year I'm going to try to get to more.

  13. Stock grips are the first thing I swap on any of my guns. My hands just don't fit them well. 

      My preference runs to stag or elk.  Strip the varnish off of them when they come and they will not slip with rain or snow.
