Competitive shooters, a moment of your time please.
I use the clear tubing meant to connect air pumps to aquariums for aeration. I cut the tubing into small lengths and place them over revolver nipples. The tubing extends just beyond the nipples. For rifles, I use the same washers discussed earlier in this thread. Additionally, I use a target... -
Strange Day for Me in the Woods.
Almost 77 years old, I have a strong desire to get up in the mountains on a crisp, cool day. The desire to hunt is not so strong. Now, with mobility issues (I had to learn to walk again), mountain walking is out of the picture, so hunting is, too. How do I know that the hunting drive is no...- RonRC

Nice transaction
I must agree that BigSkyRambler is a seller with integrity. The rifle I bought from him some time ago was in excellent condition and fairly priced.- RonRC

My son and daughter-in-law will go to Charleston, South Carolina first, then to visit relatives in North Carolina. I don't...- RonRC

Results of a family muzzle loading activity
I mentioned on a different forum on this site that I was taking my son and daughter-in-law to shoot traditional muzzle loaders. They were going to the East Coast for a vacation and planned to visit Revolutionary and Civil War museums and parks and wanted to have the experience of shooting a...- RonRC

What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?
Not today but tomorrow. I am taking my son and daughter-in-law to an outdoor shooting range to shoot my traditional muzzle loaders. My son has been an unmentionable shooter for a long time. He has shot muzzle loaders with me just a few times. His wife is a long time unmentionable shooter and has...- RonRC

Good point. A friend and I tried Winter snowshoeing near and below Mt. Evans (about 14,100 ft). We were at about 10,000 ft. Once, for one night, was enough. Never did it again.- RonRC

Winter hiking and camping has its own rewards. I haven't hiked in the Adirondacks in the Winter, but I have hiked in the Blueridge Mountains and the Dolly Sods in West Virginia in the dead of Winter many times (long ago). The solitude and quiet was wonderful. The naked trees punctuated by...- RonRC

Another new project
Happy Birthday, Dave! It’s June 13 as I write this. Nice horn. I like it. I'm sorry to see that you are going through these health issues. After all, you are just a young man at 74. I'm up on you by 2 years. -
How do you eat them
Eiers en Boerwurst is 'n goeie ontbyt. Eggs and Boerwurst (farmers sausage) is a good breakfast. I never liked grits. -
Two feathers health issues
While in the midst of all these maladies it is hard to be at all positive. Once through the worst of it, I found that I could look at the struggles as a period of "unanticipated adventures." As for the positive side, I don't need tattoos. My body already is decorated with long scars on my chest...- RonRC

Two feathers health issues
Hours on the heart-lung machines take a toll on the body, but I am an example that recovery is possible even if it takes more time than we like. I wish you a full and comfortable recovery. Ron- RonRC

Two feathers health issues
Old Oak's suggestion to hug that pillow is right on target. I dreaded coughing. The pillow didn't take all the pain away, but it did make it bearable. I'm sure your medical staff told you how to get up from bed by dropping your legs over the side of the bed while pushing your upper body up with...- RonRC
