Last Call Saul

Uniforms are usually not required in public schools. Charter and private schools typically have a uniform or dress code. Exception in public schools - in bad areas where gangs are active, they do require a uniform in high school, so kids don't wear gang-affiliated attire and cause trouble - my son worked in such an area for a year. Now he has a job in one of the top 50 public schools in the US and no uniform there

Yes

My son is a high school teacher, and my daughter graduated from high school this year, so I guess I have some fresh info. How the grades are divided depends on the state, sometimes on the county, and sometimes even on a municipality/school district. In my area, kindergarten and grades 1-5 are elementary schools, 6-8 are middle schools, and 9-12 are high schools. high schools and colleges name them freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior (year 1-4) There are public schools that are financed from the property taxes/state funds and are tuition-free; they have to follow an approved curriculum and procedures from the State's department of education, managed by School Districts/boards. There are Charter schools that are also tuition-free, have more flexible curriculum, and often affiliated with some organization or community - they are still funded publicly. Private schools charge tuition, and sometimes they are also partially funded by a religious institution or an organization with which they are affiliated. Each school district decides on dates, but they are based on 180 days in most of the states, usually starting in the second half of August and ending in late May. Spring break is 1 week long, late March-early April, winter break is a week to 10 days around Christmas and New Year's, and summer break is about 8-10 weeks. If there is a bad weather day without school, a day is usually added to the end of the school year.

It is a coil spring. I read some posts and ordered a ruger 10/22 spring to try. Will see if polishing some internals will help too

I just picked up a Bond Cowboy Defender 357/38. It's pretty heavy to coxk.... anyone slicks them up?

I didn't know we were measuring posses. Fine, yours is bigger

It was a great match! As usual, Rock River Regulators put up a great weekend of shooting, meeting with friends, and having fun! Thank you, @Turkey Legs #48384 and the crew! Posse 8 was great! Thanks to @Average Joe for running the posse so smoothly and efficiently! And it was fun to shoot with you, @Long Fingers, SASS#56813. Congrats on your IL 49'er and Wild Bunch champion titles!

Do you know what kind? Mod/full?

How is it chocked? Fixed or removable?

any primer tubes included?

I am looking for a scope to mount on my super blackhawk for deer hunting. It needs to be black, preferably gloss black . And strongly prefer variable magnification. if it comes with rings, even better What you got? Thanks

I cleaned up my mailbox - PM away!

About 12 years ago, I sold a gun and almost immediately regretted that decision. I want to find an exact same gun, so hoping one of you have it in the back of your safes Ruger Redhawk in 44 mag 5.5" barrel, blue with rosewood grips - just like this. I would consider a 4" or a possibly a SW model 29

I hope my irresistibly good looks will promote our sport!

I will take 44 mag set

so, @DukeSoprano were you able to attend the match today? You were not in our posse. I hope you made it to the Rock River Regulators—the weather was great most of the time, and it was great to be back at the shooting lane!

well. Cochise Leather Company came through and I've ordered from them! Thanks yall.

A friend is turning 50 in two weeks. I just found out that he is shopping for a lever-action rifle for himself. I decided to get him a really nice leather scabbard for it. The budget is about $300-$350. The problem is that most of what I saw is made to order and will not be ready and delivered by April 19th. Maybe someone here has a nice new or mint one they are willing to part with or knows where I can source one by April 19th. It should be US-made, preferably, but I would consider a nice Mexican or South American origin.

Anyone got one?

Welcome! I hope I will see you in the spring! I rarely miss a shoot at Rock River Regulators! I love the range and the people. As Lew mentioned, we are very lucky to have multiple clubs in this area and can shoot practically every weekend within an hour's drive if we want to!

OK, here is a call for help. I just recruited a new shooter - he shot two matches and is fully hooked. He needs to register but can't pick a name. Here is a problem - he is a relatively fresh-of-the-boat immigrant from Belarus. Came here in his early 40s, been here for about 10-12 years. his English is very decent, as long as he stays within day-to-day or related to his work topics. He is not familiar with Cowboy/Western or really much of American pop culture. he is an avid shooter and firearm collector but more of the generic type. so, let's see what you can come up with - his name is Alex, he is from Belarus, not from Russia. He works in paintless dent repair industry, he likes shooting and racing go-carts... GO! I suggested "Al Dente" but he did not like it
