Bled like the devil. But at least I had shouldered the gun...... I did as well. Once! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Horace I have an 8mm Nambu so I am also in the market. Saw two boxes in a local gunshow 15 years ago or so. They wanted $30 each box. I passed and have seen none since.

There was only 3 calibers in stock when I went to Academy last. .450 Bushmaster .22-250 and 7mm Mag Taught a guy how to shoot while I was back in college that kept putting his thumb across the back of his hand when he was shooting a bottom feeder. He did it twice, so he's got the idiot scar on both knuckles of his left thumb. Sometimes, pain is the best teacher.

And in a nutshell, this is the problem with many (especially younger) people today. They have been protected from criticism, potentially harmful actions and consequences for poor decisions. STUPID is supposed to hurt, that way you don’t do something STUPID more than once. Regards Gateway Kid 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Regards Gateway Kid After the first time, I let pain be the teacher. When he did it again -on the very next shot- I added ridicule (LOTS of ridicule) and peer pressure. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
