There's no such thing as a dumb question, just one that's been asked before 😅



True, no such thing as a dumb question that has been asked in good faith. A question is just a question and not a "dumb" one.

There are quite a few dumb or mean spirited responses, so they do exist. My recommendation is that any response meant as a joke should have an emoji so as not to be misinterpreted as "snippy". Shooters new to the hobby really do need guidance; SO LETS GUIDE THEM for crying out loud.
 
would anyone have suggestions for a shooting forum that both discusses the bp issues but also allows modern issues? nope i dont wish to offend the rules anymore here, but a good suggestion would help me take an unmentionable to a forum it wouldnt be shunned at, thanks.

if while aiming at its eye, you realize that it has two and you only one shot, and its bigger than you by several times the question is, do you pull trigger or locate something that does not run out of the ability to use. its happened to me, i set the gun down and picked up a blade and still did not feel safe till the thing left.

I have been in the B/P game for 50 years but still remember how green all of us were when TCs came on the scene in the early 70s in a big way. I didn't know about powder, patches or different size balls and never took the time to work up a load because I had never heard of the process. If I crammed something down the barrel and it wouldn't shoot a good group, I traded that gun off and bought another one, DUH....

Beginner questions bring back memories of just how green I was when I started out and don't bother me at all.

The search function on this site is confusing even for me so I seldom use it.
Eric….I appreciate that about you. You’ve answered a few of my dumb questions and always pointed me in the right direction…
 
My o.p. was mainly meant in jest.

But I agree with the above statement about at least trying to so a little of one's own research and searching.
One might discover other things.....
So let me get this get this straight, this reads to me like do your own research don't come here asking us dumb questions?
 
well it happened june 17th 2004. and the gun was loaded for the next deer but that never happened. i was sleeping over the cab of the rv i was living in at the time. you know how that set up is sliding lexan windowson each side of the rv over the cab with a cheesy bed there , well when i woke up the motion detection floodlight was on, it only comes on if there is something bigger than a dog moving within 30 feet of it, and that floodlight was 30 feet from the rv.
looking out the window wondering what turned on the flood.
gun beside the bed with the barrel leaning on it just where i put it. while looking through the lexan on the passenger side a cani nose appears at the side of the window, blows steam and fogs the lexan and it steps forward , looking into the darkness that was the window.
with me inside , in that darkness pitch black darkness with only the air conditioner blowing(roof mounted AC) . as quick as you can think i grabbed the barrel and tossed rifle catching it aimed and loaded , pointing right at the right eye of this thing.
its head was larger than the whole window(the window 18inches by 10inches and the top of the window was at an elevation of 7ft 2inches) the head of this thing was higher than the top of the window. i do not believe it could see me, but it could deffinitly smell me(as it sniffed at the crack of the window). so , aiming and knowing my shot would be truei contemplated that the shot readied was the only shot cause everything to make it go boom was on the other side of the rv out of reach.
and it has two eyes.
so as quickly as i handled it i set the gun downon the bed, so as not to make noise. and i backed from the window(yes a distance of 3 feet or less was between me and it for about 30 seconds. i backed and placed my hand on the hilt of a mideval blade over 4 feet long sharp on both sides and i prayed.

it was a darned werewolf looking thing with black fur tipped in silver , upper body of a weightlifter except it was so much bigger than a human. eyes the color of a freshly waxed fire engine with black lines and swirls in the colored part of the iris and a black pupil.(yup i was that close) during that i had time to think , its nose is dry so its sick.
i asked god why he was testing me, to see if i was worthy to walk this earth. (cause that thing could very well end all that)
the details are there in my mind , but say it is kinda tramatic to go through it to tell what happened, and you just gonna make fun anyway, so the short of it is this, the thing was smarter than a human, fast as it wanted to be when it wanted to be fast and cool and slow when it wanted me to know it could do just whatever it wanted to.
i thought"i am looking at the back of your ugly head from the house" (there was a house and window as far from the floodlight on the other side as i was on this side) and you know it turned and looked right at that window.
it went all around the house and returned to the rv but at the rear this time(it knew i was not in the house, scent told it that the newest scent was at the rv.
so it waited at the back of the rv looking around tward the door i would come out of.(i was at the back of the rv then standing in the corner on the bench seat looking through a crack of the blinds downward at the thing as it crouched , leaning forward looking around the corner of the rv , not knowing i was looking at it.

i was in wonderment, it was magnificent and i was pretty sure i was outmatched, soon to be poo.

amazing thing though , it had a tremendously short attention span.
i waited , stood there in a corner waiting , not moving(its shoulder was touching the bumper of the rv so movement is no)
15 minutes later it hufs growls low and stands up moving around the drivers side of the rv and into the darkness. and the last i saw it was when it left the light of the floodlight.

this occured at 3:34am on june 17th 2004. off hwy 69 south, aproxamatly 7miles south of rusk tx , in the driveway of my family property. if you think its not real, thats on you. i dont even think the shot would have penetrated the skull. so why piss the thing off by shooting its eye out.

What is a cani?
 
It has nothing to do with this specific forum but across all forums and other platforms Ive noticed a general lack of folks who seem they cant do any research on there own, but always asking for information that is readily available with a few minutes if not seconds of search ! Are they lazy ? I really dont know as much if they have become to attached to what ever device they use and expect someone to immediately answer the question .

If I may ask two questions........where do Babies come from and where does the White go when Snow melts ?

Dont mind me we're a taddly un-edjumakated down under.
 
smiles, when h2o is in its solid state it looks white as powder but can be clear as glass and when h2o becomes a liquid again each molecule is similar but different and yet each drop is h2o yet the white has gone clear in the curve of the molecule as it becomes a focal shape. babies, they come from a place that half of them try most of their lives to get back into. how about this, what treasure can you use and spend and even give away all day long, and yet when you wake that treasure is still there to do it all again? I.Q . 163 smiles
