  1. As people say they will desensitize but you can make it a less stressful proccess. Well if your patient and take some time it's doable,horses and wildlife do acclimatize to gunfire.My local range has to call ceasefires when deer wander onto a hot range. We physical have to go out and chase them as gunshots/bear bangers have no effect. There isn't one single solution ,start with placement of range and direction one fires. Firing from inside an open sided shelter with the back towards the pasture is most ideal. As a musician try get some sound absorbing/deadening panels to use on the shack Along with the backstop berm, a berm between range and horses, adding trees bushes helps absorb some sound. Ideally your trying to reduce the sharpness of bang rather then loudness. Even if you can't do everything all is not lost. Start by using .22s and while someone is shooting(slow fire) have person by paddock with food/treats. The ideal spot is the point furthest from range as this is where horses will go to. While skittish at first possible, if you don't appear concern and there is food that goes along way. In a perfect world if you can have a horse that's 'bomb proof' start with them then slowly add other horses, horses will take cues from other horses as to the 'danger' Another trick is to also pre-warn the horses that shooting will commence, horses flight animal and their instinct is to run first then after a bit stop and if no danger they stop and eat. Hooking up a buzzer near the paddock(doesn't have to be loud) that you can activate from the firing line just prior to commencing shooting.Realistically this one is a bit overkill. Start slowly, observe and go from there. It is doable
  2. With a logic like that, let's eliminate fire extinguishers and prevent fires.
  3. I remember picking up an Colt LE901 lower really cheap.Trying to find an upper in Canada proved almost impossible and most dealers thought AR-10/308AR interchangeable. I actually put together a quick blurb with basic info that I started sending along with my inquiries. On the plus side I found myself here where I find myself feeling like the oil change kid getting to hang out in a F1 garage learning lots and in time hoping to give back.
  4. I like CZs and it was 20% off Postman should be dropping off end of next week

  6. Truth brother... I had the vacuum operated originally, swapped to cable operated. Only idea worse was the use of vacuum operated windshield wipers, as you go faster vacuum drops thus windshield wiper speed drops
  7. Part of the shorter barrel in the bush isn't just a weight savings thing but the ability to move/swing the barrel around in more confined areas. My primary bear country gun is a 45-70 16" lever action and I notice it compared to 18" bolt action rifle in bush. If your max range is 400yds, your not going to notice velocity loss with the shorter barrel.
  8. Just a minor but critical tweek
  9. Several variations of the Dana 44 have been used as the rear axle in Jeeps, all of them use a 8.5" ring and pinion. The Dana 44s with the two piece shafts are 19 spline or 27 spline and the versions with the one piece shafts are 30 spline.if you do a swap you want a one piece shaft.
  10. A lot of wisdom wrapped up in a sentence or two.
  11. Jeeps also come in adult sizes too...
  12. Me likey...
  13. What edgecrusher says, what distance are you realistically hunting at? What are you hunting? You'll lose a little velocity
  14. Maybe you're still here 'cause Hell doesn't want you and heaven is afraid to take you...
  15. Grew up with horses,all my best memories and the odd injury involve horses. She was my hunter-jumper Like a parent you don't have favorite( he was), open jumper made jumping a car look easy. Great all a rounder bit of a brat with personality
  16. One time headed out a girl asks "where you going" to which I replied "we're off to shoot groundhogs" Seems she thought shooting cute groundhogs was wrong till I pointed out that the holes they make break horse's legs. To which she replied " so what caliber is best to shoot 'em with?"
  17. Plus you could locate dinner in the dark by the glow...
