Scott, it sounds like they needed to hire Mike Venturino to coach them on shooting single shots. He worked with Tom Selleck on "Quigley Down Under."

I can handle Sharps rifles and revolvers fine. But I stay well hidden when seated on a horse, as it is just too hilarious a show.

I looked closely at the Abbott stimulator the pain doc in Alamogordo was pushing. I did a fair amount of online research. But combined with my neurosurgeon's advice based on what he had seen, and statistics such as these from what I consider reliable sources, I decided against one. I did not appreci...

Ray, I had one I got from Buffalo Arms some years ago in .44 Russian. Possibly the most pleasant sixgun I have owned -- and accurate to boot.

Blackhawk, I have seen those three words attributed to a great Texas hero, Deaf Smith.

Ray, surely there's a photo of your 99!
Grizz, I had an uncle who lived in Black Canyon City, but I never got off road in that country.

Bill in Oregon

Ji, you are moving along at a good clip in that short! Beautiful waters you are fishing there.

Grizz, my grandparents started a ranch under the Mogollon Rim in the Tonto Basin near present Young before World War I. I visited once ten years ago, and it is very interesting country, with human history that goes back probably to the last Ice Age.

Saw that as well. A fire victim has already fired the first lawsuit against EXCEL. This is what started the deadly fire that destroyed Paradise, California.
Ultimately it will be the ratepayers on the hook.

Doc, maybe there is justice in the world ...

You'll love this one. Not trying to sell it for the guy, but wow what a beauty!

Will, you have wonderfully long seasons. Back in Oregon pheasant season was just a couple of months long, starting in October.

Bill in Oregon

Ji, I watched a segment of that classic. Imagine being lowered with your dory, lines, hooks and baits to spend the next 12 hours alone on a heaving sea handlining cod, and doing it again day after day. I confess to getting motion sickness at the drop of a hat all my life, so just that alone -- the s...

Ray, she has a classic country voice. Was it this show?

For an in-depth look at the Portuguese dory fishermen off the Grand Banks, it is hard to beat Alan Villiers' "Quest of the Schooner Argus," and of course there is Rudyard Kipling's classic "Captains Courageous." By the way, the 1937 movie of the same name with Spencer Tracy and L...

The big one, the Smokehouse Creek Fire was still at 1,076,638 and 15 percent contained, with cause under investigation per the Texas A&M Forest Service this morning.

WOW! There is just nothing to compare with the spring wildflower season in Texas.

Lovely, and what a sweet-looking pup, too. Did you just take these Scott? Are they already blooming down your way?

I think the St. Pierre has the most glorious sheerlines of all the dories.

Just a wonderful post and tribute, Darryl. Dad was in the 97th Infantry, but all four of Mom's brothers Army Air Corps. The guy on the left here is my Uncle Milton. His B-17, the Sad Sack, was in the 91st Bomb Wing, 324th Squadron based at RAF Bassingbourn. The Memphis Belle was in this squadron. Mi...

Will, I won't starve right off, that's for sure!

The kydex isn't very appealing, but it is very tough, durable and easy to fit to your gun.

Bill in Oregon

Doc, do you carry with the pancake loops or the paddle attachments? I bought a couple of IWB holsters recently and they are uncomfortable as my paints don't have much give at the waist as I seem to be packing a little extra these days, and I am not talking additional ammunition. I bought a leather D...

Absolutely love the buttstock configuration on the .25-35.

Bill in Oregon

Not for me either, Grizz. Much more than 25 foot-pounds of recoil and I fly the white flag these days.

Bill in Oregon

I'm envious. I wish the price would come down. Making do with a ProChrono currently.

Bill in Oregon

Jason, on that same forum you will find a subforum dedicated to the RIA/Armscor guns (and one dedicated to Tisas). The only 10s I have owned were Glock Model 40 MOS longslides. I have been favorably impressed by the Tisas 1911s and am looking hard at the bob-tailed lightweight commander-sized Stingr...

The interesting thing I am finding, chasing these ghosts through Find-a-Grave links, is reading about the lives my Confederates led after the war. Here's an example, a sketch of great-great Uncle James, the one shot in the head, written for his grandson who died at 21 and lies in Mt. Olivet in Forth...

I'll be volunteering at the Sweetwater Rifle and Pistol Club show next weekend. It is held in conjunction with the Rattlesnake Roundup right next door. I am told it is a good one. The next one in Abilene will be in June.

Just this morning while tracing ancestors I ran across a new-to-me great-great uncle, Matt Marshall Hague, sergeant in the 44th Tennessee Infantry, killed on Oct. 8, 1862, in the fierce fight at Perryville, KY. He was just 19. My great uncle Frank Wood with the First Wisconsin under Starkweather was...

Well hell, I don't know if I even want dinner. My late Uncle Paul was a fine horseman but his love was mules, and I got to ride his Abigail on a Decker pack saddle with hay-bailing twine stirrups in the Eagle Cap Wilderness of far northeast Oregon many years ago. It was and remains a religious exper...

Your rifle is wonderful, and as hogs go, that is a mighty handsome one. Well done!

Bill in Oregon

Jason, I had a Kimber that I carried at work at the shooting range for a few months. It shot wonderfully and had no issues whatsoever. I quit carrying it because it was a bit heavier than was comfortable for daily wear, and I hated to see it banged around as I hopped in and out of trucks, tractors a...

Bill in Oregon

Jim, that's a keepsake for sure. That's Arizona javelina country, right?

Bill in Oregon

And ma'am, thank you for your service if we are still allowed to say that.

Bill in Oregon

Thanks fellas. In the larger-bore sixguns I have pretty much lost all interest in jacketed bullets, so the cylinder throat dimensions assume greater importance. Jim, your prescription of practice is mighty sensible. As some of you have noticed I am something of a gun gadfly and rarely have put in ex...

I need to fly the Lone Star flag.

A Tennessee grandfather several greats back married one of the Houston girls.
Fixed it. Thanks for the head's up Scott.

That's a mighty handsome Smith, Scott.

Bill in Oregon

Wondering if those here who have extensive experience with Blackhawks in .357, .41, .44 Special/.44 Magnum. and .45 Colt have any thoughts on which caliber was easiest to get accuracy out of. I know this has much to do with the individual revolver, cylinder throat diameters and the infamous Ruger ba...

Grizz, regarding engine sounds, the only planes I can sleep on are turbo props like the dear old Dash 8. Head against the bulkhead and those vibes sing me to sleep.

Well, the MRI was a piece of cake and I need not have stressed over it -- story of my life. I am sure prayer helped. It was a roomier machine than some I have been in, They had a nice cool breeze going and the technician slid me in feet first. She asked if I wanted music and I said jazz. The imaging...

Jon, I talked to the scheduler and she was "vaguely reassuring." Their machine will probably be very much like most of the others I have been in. It's just the one time I lost my composure but it sort of shook my confidence. I'm sure it will be fine. While I am in Abilene I will stop at Ac...

Jason beat me to it. I believe a number of these ended up in Cuba. 7.62 X 45. The Czechs stubbornly refused to play follow the leader in the Soviet era and designed most of their own stuff.

Well, I would only have a couple of hours to convince my PCP to prescribe a single dose of Valium/Xanax/Ativan, and then would have to drive the 45 miles home right after. Not sure how that would work out. I'll probably just try deep breathing, some prayer and daydreaming about fly fishing -- and sh...

Fitting tribute to the old frontiersman, Scott.
That fire is now at 1,075,000 acres and has run all the way east across the Oklahoma border and only 5 percent contained. And more red flag conditions are due this weekend. Praying for those firefighters and all in harm's way.

That's an interesting question. I have never noticed it once the normal BP fouling is cleaned away, but then I only shoot blued revolvers. No interest in stainless versions, they being so "farb" and all ...

Bill in Oregon

Lads, I have had at least a dozen MRIs over the past 30 years, the first one in what literally looked like a torpedo tube. I don't know how I survived that one as a recurring claustrophobia nightmare is getting stuck in a pipe. Since then I have had them in various machines, some not a whole lot bet...

Good job Scott! They need to be shaken up!

I voted yesterday too. The gals asked me do you want the Republican ballot or the Democrat ballot. I asked them if they had a "Disgusted with Both" ballot and got a grin out of them.
