I tried not to vote for anyone who had been on the board or leadership when grifter Wayne was stealing from the organization. I wish our man from San Antonio -- Ollie North-- was still in the picture but he is 82, bless his heart.

Paul, when I think about you and Jim, giving lives as missionaries, I am humbled, just as I am even as a Protestant when I encounter Catholic priests, monks, and nuns. I so appreciate the scope of the sacrifice, which I fall so far short of and admit I am even jealous of. Doctrinal differences don't...

Vall, how many times am I allowed to swoon over your wonderful Ballard finds?

Bill in Oregon

I'm one who often falls short. I have a lot of regrets. But my hope and belief is the Father sees men and women trying to be better than what they realize they were as something honorable, even if it doesn't gain them admission to exclusive societies. If that fails to qualify as some kind of honor a...

I've never been disappointed by Accurate.

That was the best commercial. Period.

I don't do half times either, but enjoy just watching the game of football, all PC aside. Of course, being from the Northwest and having lived in Seattle and Tacoma, you might guess where my sympathies lie. 8) I absolutely don't do NBA, and struggle to maintain consistent interest in Major League Ba...

Doc, I don't think it was liberals that were the problem. It was plain old rot, starting with the grifter La Pierre and a compliant board of sycophants.
Eddie. Let's make the NRA relevant again.

Bill in Oregon

To the NRA lifers and other members here, please take time to vote for board of directors members. Let's preserve the positive changes in our beloved NRA and keep the organization moving forward in relevance, effectiveness and responsiveness to the needs and wishes of the membership.

I hope you are right Earl. I got sick and tired of being told how to run my life by clueless urban a-holes from Portland.

Bill in Oregon

Wow. Just wow. In Arizona or were you still living up in the Palouse, Jim?

Bill in Oregon

Jim, does Paco have family nearby who look in on him and help?

Can't wait for range results, Vall. You hit this one out of the park.

Appreciate all the contributors to this thread. It's wonderful thinking about carrying single-action revolvers, especially with the original Colt grip shape. I've enjoyed the wonderful photos of revolvers as well as the leather. I wish I had spent more time with Colt SAA clones instead of 1911s, alt...

Nice job Will!
By the way, that old saying is really old -- credited to Plato in 325 BC when he wrote "our need will be the real creator" and first translated into English in 1519 as the phrase we know today.

That's funny. When I moved from Ashland, Oregon, to Alamogordo, NM, via Nevada and Arizona nine years ago, it seemed to me the roads immediately got much worse crossing into Arizona, with some potholes up around Flagstaff that I was afraid would eat the Penske's tires whole. Crossing into New Mexico...

Jim, when my daughter was on the reining team at Baylor, there was an armadillo that hung out near one of the horse barns. Ellie said the little toot used to bark when annoyed.

Some very experienced hunters from the early 20th Century thought very highly of the .22 Savage High Power with its 70-grain bullet at 2780 for use on tigers and other beasts. Today's bullet offerings in .223-224 caliber are vastly better, from the Barnes copper solids to the 80- and 90-grain heavie...

It's a Lee mold, not a Lyman.

I started this thread on another forum, but thought some here might be interested in the implications of the continuing improvement in bullet technology as applied to hunting.

I don't know why Keith and O'Connor were at such odds with each other. But Keith had very little use for the .30-06, proving he had huge blind spots. Ask Alaskan moose and bear guide Phil Shoemaker, whose sig line on accuratereloading.com is: Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not...

Jay, I don't think they are so much "the left" as they are the "bereft of reason" -- just as any extremist group whether far left or far right or any other aggregation of unsound minds seeking to force their beliefs on others.

Looks great Walt.
A favorite of mine is "Scouting on Two Continents" by Frederick Russell Burnham. You can't make up the life he led -- or the grit he possessed -- in your wildest dreams.

.. in my native state approve this at the next election. I wouldn't put it past them. Oregon was once upon a time, a great state politically balanced in moderation and compromise and generally keeping itself out of individuals' lives as well as any other and better than most. But over the past 40 ye...

Incredible find. What's she weigh, Shrapnel?

What everyone else said, plus I love your rear tang sight and Garmin chronograph. Is that a Marble's rear?

Bill in Oregon

Yes it is. Thanks for asking.

Glad you had a safe trip to visit to family Jim. We're clawing our back to 60 under sunny skies here. Had to take off my jacket during our morning walk picking up trash. Just put up the Burpee and Ferry-Morse seed displays at Tractor Supply this past week and everybody has spring fever and gardens o...

Harper and her mother are still in Dallas as she continues to heal. It can take up to three months for the procedure to succeed or fail, and if the latter we may be looking at a transplant.

Absolutely not. Never. Ever.

Seton, Baden-Powell and Beard. If there could be one more in the picture, it would have to be Frederick Russell Burnham.

Bill in Oregon

Jay, I believe there is still life in the organization. I don't know the path toward restoration, but wish the BSA the best. I wonder how Baden-Powell, Ernest Thompson Seton and Dan Beard would approach the problem now. Dad got his Eagle in 1941. I got mine, on the right, in 1971. https://i.postimg....

I agree. Their products are excellent.

Doc, just read a thread about tapping Oregon bigleaf maples for syrup. Works the same in Oregon as it does in the Upper Midwest and New England if you tap when the temperature is right.
