  1. Recoil in a bow is usually felt as hand shock, felt in the grip. I've owned bows that had a little hand shock, some with considerably more. It depends on the design of the riser and limbs, and to a lesser extent, the composition of the string. Choctaw
  2. In our area, it's the Tuesday Special. Not bad for fast food, either.
  3. Never had chicken fried bologna. But bologna chunks cooked on the grill and dipped in BBQ sauce is delicious! Choctaw Jack
  4. I size/prime, bell the case mouth, and seat the bullet with Dillon dies, then do the final crimp with Lee Factory Crimp Die,all on a Dillon 550. Loads a great round, o problems at all. I don't use Titegroup, so I can't help you there. Choctaw Jack

  6. Tom, Lots of CAS match videos on the internet. Watching them gives a good idea of what goes on while shooting a match. For learning the basics , I enjoy the videos by Jim Finch. Very well done and informational. Choctaw
  7. My training says reloading and re-holster. After scanning the immediate area for any immediate threat. Reholster to keep the firearm under your control. Call 911, explain the situation, give a brief description of yourself and wait for further instructions. I would also expect to be handcuffed when officers arrive, for their protection and hope thy aren't overzealous in the act. I'm sure procedures have changed, but this is what I was taught. Choctaw
  8. I just picked up my 3rd Uberti rifle from Ken Griner, a '66 carbine. PGW super short stroke kit, action job, and just for looks, I asked him to jewel the hammer. And because the hammer is jeweled, he did the trigger also. (Now they match my 1871 Open Tops that Ken also worked his magic on). This rifle , just like the other two, runs super smooth, and will out run me by a large margin. I believe in the " Buy once, cry once" motto, and so far has worked well for me. In the years I've been shooting CAS, except for the usual maintence items, all of the firearms built by Ken Griner have worked flawlessly for me. Any problems I've had (which aren't many) can be attributed directly to the owner/operator. So my advice to the OP is buy a built rifle from a reputable gunsmith, ( my choice is Ken Griner), and save yourself time and money in the long run. Choctaw Jack
  9. I don't think I've ever listened to one of her songs, so I'm not a fan of her music, but recently Taylor Swift sued her music publisher to buy the rights to the music she wrote. I think it took a lot courage to take control of her future, and to take back what I feel was rightfully hers. Doesn't hurt that those rights are worth ,potentially, hundreds of millions dollars.

  10. My Android phone updates regularly,sometimes a couple of times a week. Occasionally it changes the appearance of things on this site. I recently found that in Settings, under accessibility, I can adjust the screen and font size back to my preference. It seems that 125% seems to work best. Of course, YMMV. Choctaw
  11. Love sweet potatoes prepared nearly way except fries. Sautéed in butter with brown sugar and cinnamon is one of my favorites. Candied with marshmallows on Thanksgiving is another. I do enjoy a loaded baked sweet potatoe with a nice rare steak and yeast rolls once in a while! Choctaw Jack
  12. I've got one of Bill's modified carriers in my Uberti short rifle , my main match rifle. It has an action job and has been short stroked by Ken Griner, and it works perfectly! Ken currently has my '66, and he's going to work the same magic on it. I'm really looking forward to getting it back, and getting some rounds through it. I'm planning on ordering one more carrier from Bill to install In a 20 inch Uberti .45 rifle that has also been slicked up and short stroked by Ken. These rifles converted to C45S are a ton of fun, and the advantages of this cartridge makes it even better.
  13. Dusty, Yep, there are those of us that are fans of this little round. If they're taking up too much room, I'll be glad to take them of of your hands 😊! Choctaw Jack
  14. Whe I bought mine it was around $200. But that was a long time ago@
