    Strange but True Shooting Victim Stories.

    Back in the late '60s I was a spec 4 operating room specialist in the 116th MASH of the Del Nat. Guard. We used to work in the local hospital on Saturdays of our once a month duty. I was assisting a doctor in the "outpatient" OR. We had a guy with quite a gut come in with a lump on his back...

    What's impt. to you?

    It's not a counting contest. Just buy what you want as you can afford it. By the time you're 60 like me, well... ;)

    Stray Cats - Can I, should I shoot them?

    I vote for using your 12ga. I'd use No 4 lead shot for happy medium of distance and pattern. Cats are fast and tough. Furthermore, depending on how far in the sticks you are, you might have to give up some shots with the rifle due to what's behind the cat and possible ricochets.

    Feral Dogs

    I like this machete. http://www.woodmanspal.com/ I'd sharpen the flat blade to the end, maybe even give it a 1 1/2" radius and sharpen that.

    Soldier with 12 gauge saves the day

    Rusty, Thanks for posting that. It happened after the guy on the stretcher was shooting. I had stopped watching at that point. This time I watched the whole thing. Very brave fellows!

    Soldier with 12 gauge saves the day

    Viking, It worked ok for me in WMP. I'm running a Mac and frequently of that kind of thing doesn't. Thanks for suggesting pasting it into WMP, I tried to open it in IE and it didn't work. Are you on broadband? I am and it was only playing at 100kbps and still froze intermittently. Luckily it...

    3-year-old boy accidentally kills grandfather in N.C. shooting

    I agree with those who say the story sounds fishy, and even if it's true, it was grandpa's fault. Just lucky the kid didn't shoot himself or anyone else. As to it being horrible for the kid, I say NO. He probably didn't even realize what happened except for a big noise and the gun flying out...

    "Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys" on Fox

    How many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris? Nobody knows, they have never tried it. The French have just ordered a new national flag. It's a white cross on a white background. Why did the French plant trees on the Champs Elysées? So the Germans could march in the shade...

    Penn & Teller Bullet Catch

    ctdonath, I agree with you about the initials. You screwed up the D just as most would when trying to write on a small radius compound curve on a tiny thing held in his fingers. IMO there's no way for someone to duplicate that in a hurry. They would be confounded by the curves too and...

    Rossi leverguns?

    legacy38, I have a Rossi '92 Carbine in .357 and a rifle in .44 Mag. Both bought around Jan 1996. I refinished the stock of the carbine and stained it Walnut. It looks very nice after the Rossi opaque stain is removed. The rifle had problems in the beginning. Cartridges wouldn't feed...

    Our rifles really _do_ shoot like that...

    :confused: It's a copy that I made at work on a Canon that printed blue. I then glued it to the stock of my rifle and covered it with mylar tape.

    Our rifles really _do_ shoot like that...

    Here's a 0.12 MOA five shot group from my Rem .223 VS, Jewell trigger, Bushnell 24x scope. We (I and the gun) averaged 0.40 MOA over 25 groups.

    Ever left a gun range in a hurry?

    Just once. I was shooting my .45 cal. flintlock at my "in the sticks" shooting club and was the only one there. A scroungy looking old coot showed up saying that the distinctive sound of my smoke pole had drawn him there. We had a nice conversation about old guns, but in the course of the...

    Gunsmithing = Art?

    Sven said: "The various light sources? A desk lamp with two bulbs, an indirect light shining onto the ceiling, and last but not least my 6 D-Cell maglight in my left hand. " That's art. Great shot Sven!
