Sisco

Sorry for your loss brother, yes we did. I believe we tipped a few at his place. My buddy with a place outside Glidden is in Florida for a few months. When I talk to him I will let him know. A neat area, like going back to the 1950's.

you are close brother, the home stretch!?

Thanks guys. Arizona trip sounds like a great idea. Always wanted to take the Corvette on Route 66. Wonder how much ammo I can carry in that little trunk? Who needs clothes when there's 308 ARs to shoot down in the desert.

You are so right Doc. I did my research through Dr.'s, nurses, and patients. I narrowed it down to one Minneapolis hospital and two Doctors, both ivy league school graduates, who were spine specialists and part of a larger office. They did more and did the toughest cases. Turns out he is also a really good guy. Any body ever need one in that area, PM me.

thanks Robo and everyone. Your right on pushing the target distance out. My goal is 500 yards by next fall. Just have to find some National Forest Land I can do it on.

After back issues since my early 20's a couple of months ago it came down to this: I couldn't walk 100 feet without stopping for the pain to subside, or stand in one spot for more than three minutes, without being in agony. I had put off surgery two years ago on the advice of the neurosurgeon, which was the right call at the time, but this years wood supply lay in was the straw that broke the camels's back. Or in this case, Sisco's back. It was supposed to be an hour and a half operation, turned out my L5 vertebrae was so messed up it took three and a half hours on the table. That was a week and a half ago. Today I walked two miles with no pain whatsoever. The surgeon said one of the stenosis (bone spurs) was ready to penetrate my spinal cord, and when he removed it, the spinal cord popped back into the now empty space like a water balloon. My advice to all of you who have back issues: get the best neurosurgeon back specialist you can find, and don't wait like I did, get it fixed and have a new lease on life. The first five days of post op had quite a bit of pain, but now its worth it. Now I can go hike and post targets pain free again, I plan to do a heck of a lot shooting when weather permits.

I have the same problem, right hand dominant, but left eye dominanat. So I shoot a rifle left handed-left eyed, and have trained over the years to shoot right handed and with my right eye with a pistol. Weird but it works for me, and at my age I ain't gonna mess with it.

Truth. The way those "B" mags are built, they are worth it. 300 bucks buys you a lifetime of magazines, unless you're deploying with it to the Mid East or Afghanistan. Even in a SHTF scenario, it would be all over before you emptied 10 magazines. Just don"t eject them and run off, or if you do, let me know where so I can score some empty used magazines.

The truthiest truth ever truthed.

I only sell to upgrade. Usually within the same class of firearm. Sold an old imported .45, got a new one with more features.

Haven't checked this thread for a while, otherwise I would have photographed the three baby back racks I smoked two days ago. Son was home from college, not a scrap left.

A flashlight makes a hell of a target in the dark. If someone has come through two locked doors into my house without identifying themselves, they don't mean me or my family well.

Blue sorry to hear about that. Especially for his Grandmother. Caring people like that always seem to take it the hardest.

Thanks PF21. Thinking about it for a dedicated home defense firearm. The pistol already has tritium night sights. But thought a laser might have some advantages in low light/dark conditions at close range if needed. Would be mounted on a built in picatinny rail.

Never used these, as I would rather depend on good technique and training with conventional sights, but thought I would get everyone's opinions of their pros and cons. I don't want to rule them out if there are some overwhelming advantages to them, but I don't want to mess with all that muscle memory and unconcious competence thing I have built up with conventional sights over the years, unless there is good reason to.

Happy New Year everyone. I got a feeling by the end of this year we will all know better where we and the Nation stand. May we all stand together.

The next few days are busy with family coming in, so I want to take a moment and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Holiday season with your loved ones. The best to all of you in the New Year! May all of you have successful builds in 2016!

To paraphrase Mae West; " Is that a Srihacha bottle in your pants, or are you happy to see me? "

So, has California passed an egg roll defense, or "stand your Srihacha" law yet?

You get a good catch, you always stuff and mount it. Or is it mount and stuff it? I can never remember the sequence.

It has been a warm winter up here on Lake Superior, but my fishing buddy is still catching them.

Todays catch, One Lake trout, one juvenile Coho, one Brown Trout. Dec 10 and still boat fishing on Superior. Crazy!

I can't believe that on December 6 we are still doing this on Lake Superior. Caught 5 and lost the biggest Brown Trout of my life! Now to smoke em!

Ok Air Force guys, help me out here: I think Russia is exaggerating a bit here: Russia bombs 1,500 targets. What do they have in Syria, maybe 30 planes? And 6 of those are air superiority. That means each remaining plane bombed 60 targets. Whats a target, every ISIS outhouse?
