inhis_service 25-May-19, 21:39	Wow! Very informative and interesting video. I need to get out more often, too! Thank you.
thumper 25-May-19, 22:22	iHs NP. Shooting is not only necessary for a free people but it's fun. The more fun you have the better you get. For my long range handgun shooting I use a Glock 35 with a 5.31" barrel chambered in .40 S&W, a Colt Python with a 6" barrel (.357 Mag), and a Ruger Redhawk with a 7.5" barrel (.44 Mag). For combat type shooting I use the Glock 35, a Glock 23 (compact .40 S&W), and a Ruger GP100 with a 4" barrel (.357 Mag). I haven't been able to shoot much lately but I normally go through as much as 25k rounds per year of mostly handloaded ammo.
thumper 25-May-19, 22:23	Obviously, I'm a handgun and archery hunter.
stalhandske 25-May-19, 22:49	What animals do you hunt?
thumper 25-May-19, 22:58	Stal Mostly birds and deer. I do provide an anti-ground squirrel service when asked. That also keeps in practice with the handgun.
stalhandske 25-May-19, 23:02	Thumper What birds? Do you hunt birds for food?
mo-oneandmore 26-May-19, 08:13	thump 25,000 hand loaded rounds per year, huh? Is shooting guns and hand loading bullets the only thing you do other than sitting around the firehouse and riding dirt bikes? You must be in love with your guns, thump. Stalh: Your "Thump: Do you hunt birds for food?" Probably for sport, just like those squirrels he brags about for his pistol practice. How many you wild cat, etc trophies are hanging on your walls, thump? Do you consider yourself to be a "great white hunter", thump?
thumper 26-May-19, 10:04	Stal Of course we eat them. Very tasty. For birds I use a .22 pistol or a single shot .410 shotgun. www.bing.com Quail www.bing.com Chukar www.bing.com Grouse I've never shot a turkey though I have a flock that cycles through my property regularly. They're too big for a single meal and I don't mind them hanging out so I just leave them to their own devices.
inhis_service 26-May-19, 10:41	Turkey . . . hunting, I'm sure you know, requires using blinds and waiting for them because they have such good hearing ability. Have you ever seen hunters use a guillotine arrow. Very cool! youtu.be
thumper 26-May-19, 10:48	Mo Why do you keep trying to argue about things you demonstrably know very little about? What I actually said is, <I normally go through as much as 25k rounds per year of mostly handloaded ammo.>, not <25,000 hand loaded rounds per year> as you try to restate. Even so, I can load as many as 800 rounds per hour with the Dillon XL650 Reloader but usually keep it at about 500-600 or so per hour. If I were in a rush, I could load a full year's supply of 25k in less than a week. What's the big deal? <sitting around the firehouse>? We're seldom in the firehouse. <Probably for sport, just like those squirrels he brags about for his pistol practice.> The ground squirrels here are very destructive and prolific. Population control is necessary. <Do you consider yourself to be a "great white hunter", thump?> Who said I'm white? I'm a better fisherman than hunter. <How many you wild cat, etc trophies are hanging on your walls, thump?> I don't have a problem with trophy hunters but I'm not one so no, nothing on the walls. You really don't know much about life away from the city do you? Your belligerent and argumentative arrogance isn't warranted but hey, your lack of awareness is amazing.
thumper 26-May-19, 10:53	iHs Like I said, I don't hunt turkey but am aware of how it's done. I live where turkeys live so don't have to go looking for one. If I wanted to take one I'd just sit on my front porch sipping tea and wait for one to walk past.
inhis_service 26-May-19, 15:56	thumper . . . And like I said,"Turkey hunting, I'm sure you know," . . . I'll always defer to anyone I believe knows more than I do. Always.
thumper 26-May-19, 18:55	iHs <I'll always defer to anyone I believe knows more than I do. Always.> I agree and do the same thing myself. That's a great way to learn and advance to the high level you can achieve. What I always try to do is find the very best person in a particular discipline and do what they do until I can maybe one day surpass them. If you hangout with people who think 25 yards is as far as a handgun is effective then that's what you'll believe and may even regurgitate that belief, but if you hangout with people who are regular long range handgun shooters (200 yards+) or long range rifle shooters (1000 yards+) then that's where your paradigm will be.
inhis_service 26-May-19, 19:38	Good Advice Kind of goes along with the maxim: "Its hard to soar like an eagle when you hang out with turkeys!"
inhis_service 26-May-19, 19:47	thumper . . . Very sound advice. Seriously, I wish I could take you up in this, and go to a shooting range on a regular basis. However, my circumstances prevent me from doing so. Glad to know you're be professional about being a gun owner.
inhis_service 26-May-19, 20:12	Here's A Better Video Of hunting with guillotine broadhead arrow. In my home state of Nebraska, no less! youtu.be
thumper 26-May-19, 20:35	iHs You can actually do a decent amount of training in your own home without firing a shot. You can practice firearm presentation, trigger control and sight alignment (the core of firearms manipulation) in your front room. It's all about repetition... muscle memory.
thumper 26-May-19, 23:59	Stal Have you hunted or fired a weapon since your military days?
stalhandske 27-May-19, 00:10	Thumper I have never hunted. Since military training (where I actually got the gold mark in rifle shooting) I have only done target practicing with the only gun I own - an air rifle.
mo-oneandmore 27-May-19, 09:40	stalh <<<Air rifle>>> The national games include air rifle and pistol competition. Nine The target size is about 1.5" diameter for rifle, and the bulls-eye (center of the target) is slightly larger than the .177 pellet. There are 6-practice targets and about 15 competition targets on each paper sheet, but if you can't hit at-least 7 of the bulls eyes there's no reason to compete. The last try I had a hand at it, I used the provided $6,000.00 air rifle but was only able to muster 2 bulls eyes. One of our team members once picked-up a bronze metal in the competition but he can consistently hit 7 or more bulls eyes. Air rifles are, of course, far safer than assault weapons and Uzis's, and air pistols are safer than a 9 mm glock --- not to mention the 357 and 40 magnums that thump seems to prefer.  Mo

thumper 27-May-19, 10:29	Stal I use my .22 air rifle and .177 air pistol often, usually around/close to the house. They're easy on the ears and effective for smaller close-in vermin, like mice and rats. I think the concept of air-powered guns is largely overlooked and underappreciated by many here in the States. Nevertheless we do have a stable air-gun industry here. Offerings range from the old Daisy Red Riders shooting a .177 BB to the modern Seneca Dragon Claw shooting a 300gr .50 cal. projectile. Some that I've seen are amazingly accurate. www.airgundepot.com
mo-oneandmore 27-May-19, 11:56	expensive air rifles The .177 cal air rifle I used (not the pictured air rifle) was provided by the NRA. The maximum allowed velocity for competition is, I believe, 750 ft/sec, and yes: They are extremely accurate for the required distance, thump, but I've never seen a 50 cal air gun --- sounds like a real KILLER, huh?. www.google.com
thumper 27-May-19, 12:09	Mo www.bing.com That link took about five seconds to find...
thumper 27-May-19, 12:12	Yes, a .50 cal. 300gr projectile @ almost 700fps is lethal and not a toy.
mo-oneandmore 27-May-19, 12:18	50 cal air toys I know they exist and that they can be lethal, but (as I said) I've never seen a 50 cal air gun.
thumper 27-May-19, 13:09	Mo I actually have a full auto .68 caliber airgun.
stalhandske 27-May-19, 22:47	I'm afraid my knowledge of guns (including air guns) is very limited. The only one I have is a Diana air rifle which (I have been told) is fairly powerful. Apart from target shooting I will have to admit that I have twice shot down a seagull sitting at the top of my flagpole - shitting is the more appropriate description. In both cases I admit having had a bad conscience.
inhis_service 02-Jun-19, 16:23	These Real Life Fire Arms Used For Personal Protection . . . Stories are not publicized as often as they occur. Incredibly, right here in Texas, Second Amendment capital of America is considering spending $ 1 Million for a "gun safety" advertising campaign! IMO that money would be better spent publicizing this true story. "Woman shoots, kills intruder at her Kaufman County home" www.wfaa.com A PERFECT example for why we need to be armed.
