Ready for February? Guys / gals / other shooters... Geez, I got lamed up, huh? I'll have a target for Feb this weekend, unless y'all wanna go for that stick match... anyone remember The Rifleman? Sorry for my absence. (Where are we going and why am I in this basket?)

Other than the question way back in the original post (the SHTF scenario), there hasn't been much discussion on the PURPOSE of this rifle. Oh, yeah... what to get at this price point. Seriously - the whole accuracy vs. stopping power vs. mag capacity should all be secondary to the intended...

This is intended to pick up where JustSayMo left off, but I missed December. Some of y'all may or may not remember me; that's not important. I haven't seen anyone step up to oversee / sponsor / initiate the matches since 'Mo has temporarily stepped away. I've been in email contact with 'Mo, and...

If you've never seen Cold Steel's 2-DVD set "Stun, Stagger, Stop" then you might wanna look for it. Available new on flea-bay for about $50 - 60, it's a great treatment of simple yet effective techniques without years of martial arts experience. Oh, sorry - it's about how to use a walking...

Hopefully not too OT - I have always been amazed at the factory blade on new Cold Steel knives. As advertised, they are consistently "hair-flinging sharp." This has been my experience with ANY new CS blade product, fixed or folding, and I'm somewhere over a couple of dozen, over about 12...

I disagree. While it's true, you don't NEED 8 inches, more is better, all things being equal. Which as we all know, they never are. But I digress. The OP already stated he's trained in edged weapons, so given that, a longer blade equals longer reach. (The reach is, after all, the advantage in...

Mo, I gotta say "Tons o' Thanks!!!" for your step-uppedness and creating and managing this monthly match idea. *sigh* I just checked in to see if I could download a target and get in under the wire for the December match, and found this thread and the sad news. Of course, it's only sad...

Would you consider a bit of neoprene? Shouldn't be too hard to find, and there are multiple means of securing it to the lever. Or, keep the original look of the gun and wear a glove... sorry, that's not what you asked for. :o

OK, here are the dumb questions... Hi Krochus, I appreciate your offering up this opportunity to un-safe the bang sticks. However, I will be the one to ask those annoying goober questions, not to irritate anyone, but to step up in place of those timid souls who are perhaps just too...

Hey Rancid, that's a good site. Just bookmarked it. However, and I'm not trying to be argumentative, but except for placement on the page, the Know Your Limits target doesn't seem to be a hole lot (pun intended... get it while you can) different from the one we're shooting for the July match...

I can relate to FastFrank... I cannot believe I didn't shoot a single target this month. Criminy.... But I did get a handful of chipmunks, and 3 squirrels. I just couldn't figure out how to score them. Thanks, Mo, for giving me hope for the July match! (I say that, but I haven't looked at...

Johnson_n posits: Well, I would recommend it start on the date corresponding to the numeral 1 on your July 2008 calendar. But, that's only because it makes sense to me. Otherwise, we might accidentally be shooting the October 2008 postal match. :what: Then again, JustSayMo strikes me as a...

Holy crap! Some of you guys can really shoot! :eek: That last set of targets was pretty impressive, too. (Pardon my French. :)

Gee, Swampy, all the bullets I load are only used once. I mean, once they leave the barrel, I just can't seem to find any of them! :) moooooooooo (how many o's was that again?) oooose102... I load moly bullets in my hi-power gun. Would moly serve to fulfill any of those requirements you're...

Wondering what the *current* lens cleaning techniques / products are, or if they have changed. Searched THR for "scope cleaning", and found a lot of old stuff. Sure, this is not rocket science, but you can still bugger up a piece of glass by using inappropriate products / procedures. I'd...

Mr Ouija's targets are real easy to read, laid on white paper. To help Mo score these things, maybe we could put a light behind the target? I appreciate Mo's willingness to do this. Let's try to make it easy as we can. Johnson, you guys are taking a pounding over there. Hope all is well with...

Bummer!! At least by posting here, you can rest assured she will go to a good home.

It will, in all likelihood, continue to do so. Can you tell me just what IS improving in modern society? No sarcasm... it's the long decline. But we know how it ends, so that's the good news. All that aside, I'm sure you recall through history at least, that we did kick the King's butt and...

At a gunstore, in a town not far from me, a prospect was considering a Glock purchase. Under the clerk's instructions, he was experiencing difficulty with a simple field strip at the counter. The store was not empty; a state trooper also at the counter, overheard the discussion and witnessed...

Sorry, Grandpa Shooter - this IS the 21st century, and if you are reading this, you ARE on the internet. Blame Al Gore. Meanwhile, improvise, adapt, and overcome. That said, no one who posts on this type of internet forum is concerned with Pulitzer prize-winning prose. I appreciate proper...
