    Themed License Plate Ideas

No laminated or plastic manure and...

    Ideas wanted for woodswalk Archery competition.

    I'm looking for ideas for a woodswalk Archery competition. This will be part of the aggregate portion of shooting events in our club's 50th year Rendezvous in October. Sadly, there is not much room to set up any running targets due to the hillside facing a higher section where tents or people...

    SPLIT THE BALL TARGET QUESTION

    about two finger widths... 1 1/2" or so. Use the full size trapshooting birds for your targets. BS Never shoot at something you don't want to be shot and or destroyed. If nothing is available, go buy a new double headed axe it is worth the expense. Distance is usually about 10 yards, but...

    Hazmat fees are CRAZY!

    I'm just glad I have never had to get shipments such as that. I just go get it. I've lived in 4 different states and though it isn't a grocery store run, with planning is an easy trip to incorporate with other activities each year or so.

    Function of a patented breech?

    I have two CVA training guns that are 45 cal with it.. they are a bother. one I had rechambered. The other doesn't seem to be as persnikerty and I'm leaving it for the next owner when I am done introducing new folks to the sport.

    Function of a patented breech?

    Thank you for this. I had been trying to describe the problem and it was obvious the picture in his head was different than the one in mine....and this shows why. For those wondering, the off set angled lines dropping off to the right are representing the lands and grooves of the rifling.

    Shots Per Shooting Session?

    never counted. ..whatever it takes to get the job done. Our club shoots usually do the monthly competitions as 5 shots at each of the targets... normally a couple at 25 yards and a couple at 50 yards then add gongs and different things. so 20 to 50 for a day... normally right at 25 shots though.

    Muzzleloading ... don't let THIS happen to YOU!

    and no. eveporust would leave a black finish behind.... not a desirable effect. I love the fact the OP just gave it a quick clean , oil, grease, and continued to shoot the next day. That's the best solution. I found a coupule interesting thread previously on how molasses might work on the iron...
