Sharpshooter

Good sense of drama! Well done!

Brother, I hear you. The shiit I used to do without a problem (3" 12 gauge magnum rounds? 50 or 100, so it bruises you a litle, so what) is now more of a challenge. The bottom line will always be "can you shoot the bitch accurately, or not?" If you're flinching because of the recoil, you may want to dial it back a bit. To use an absurd anology, I'd rather hit my target with a .22 than miss it with a .45.

Now that's damned near pornographic ... as well as being instructional!

You can't beat a cold PBR. Well, actually, you can. But if that's what they got ...

Welcome from Arkansas. Nice rifle!

^^^^ Yes, but did you thank them?

Yeah, but dude, a two-inch long stinging fukking insect? Maybe we need to all start loading a first round of bird shot. Oh, wait, it's only in the Pacific Northwest. Well, fukk, why worry about that? It can't possible spread anywhere, can it? 👿

You mean you didn't? I've always been of the opinion that a gentleman allows a girl to come first!

Sweet!

I don't think that's exactly what Black Sabbath had in mind but ...

So I'm late to the post. Nothing unusual there. But the man is right. Nothing else needed!

A friend of mine had the snip-snip done. Around nine months late they had what they've called their miracle baby. He's a good kid. About 30 years old now.

Welcome from Arkansas

What, don't you train your snappers?

I've seen a Surface to Air Recovery System in operation. Once. I thought it was the coolest way to get off the ground I'd ever seen. I also thought I'd have to have somebody trying to shoot my a$$ before I'd do it. Neat! Not on the same theme as C47s, but, you know, cool shiit is cool shiit.

Only works if you've got someone willing to get you close enough and slow enough. If not, hope you're equipped with your own Mary Poppins umbrella!

Outstanding! Finally, some people who know how to do it!

Yeah, you gotta love anyone who relies on auto-rotators to get their asses back on the ground in something resembling one piece. Welcome from Arkansas!

Geez, you sound like something I heard a lot of years ago: big girl, big hole; little girl, all hole. So far, it's sorta proved true.

Even the wife said "where can I get one? That looks perfect!"

^^^^ That. Right there!

And welcome from Arkansas. (misspelled my own damn state three times ... must be past o'beer thirty). Brother, get what you want. If anybody says you shouldn't have it, offer to write them a check for what it's worth ... payable from your casket at your funeral. Hey, if the wife and kids are well fed, clothed, educated, etc., then it's your money. Do with it what makes you happy! Of course, this assumes you aren't a kept man. If you are, would you mind sharing how you got to be that way so the rest of us could learn from your example?

If you can get it, it's worth the time!

@dragonscout: you're right. No sense of humor out there anymore. I was LEO in the mid-70s. It doesn't seem to be the same anymore. And no reason it should be. Times change, so do attitudes, and so do ... don't know what I was going to say there, but fuggit, times change.

You know the difference between a green bean and a chickpea? I've never had a green bean on my face.... ^^^^ Well, maybe not either of those!
