Honestly I think more teenagers need to know mechanical skills and welding and how stuff works. It's becoming a lost art along with hunting fishing and all the stuff we did on a daily basis 100 years ago.... Make sure when you have kids you teach them everything you know!

nice deer! Nice truck!

It's interesting how many people like iced tea, and I am also a fan but it has to be plain now flavors or sweeteners. Nice pictures

It's a nice rifle and I kept it in a traditional setup so I shoot service with iron sights. It is a challenge for me because they aren't really the best sight design. I use a Glock 17 that I did some tune up work to for my pistol.

Wow! Jameson, those are some awesome pictures. I wish I had that kind of talent with a camera.

Nice I want to get something in 7.62 x 39. My wife got me a Moisin Nagant for valentines day. It has all matching numbers and is a blast to shoot.

Those Nagants are definitely a blast. That 7.62 x 54r is definitely a fun round. I picked up a M91/30 and an M38 both original and numbers matching quite a few years ago when Big 5 was selling them for $59 each.

For your amusement in case you haven't read this yet it's an oldie but a goodie. (Forum may have made it too small to read)

haha that IS hilarious. I'm looking to buy an AK here soon. Probably something from Atlantic Firearms. I know they're not even close to accurate after about 200 yards, but I figure it like this. If it's over 200 yards from me, it's none of my damn business and I'm gonna go around it if I can. If it's closer than 30 yards, I'll take the CZ P-07. Within the 30 to 200 yard range, all I wanna do is make sure they fall down. I'm not trying for head shots in any situation where an assault rifle is needed.

What I really want is a Dakota Longbow .338, but I don't have $7K laying around. Not to mention the optics and crap I'd need for it. I'd say about $15K or more by the time I get it set up the way I want it.

My 22-250 is good to about 400 yards and accurate to a few inches thanks to this

This thing is so freaking awesome, I love it. I have a reg scope on my 30-06 and it's good to about 800 yards before I run out of elevation on the turrets, farther than that and they probably can't see me anyway.

That's not a bad price point at all! I want something with a little more power, though, since I'm ranging for a .338 round. I'd love to put something like that on a Remington 700 SPS though! It'd complete the tactical look pretty nicely even though it wouldn't cover the whole range.

It's an ice coffee from dunkin donuts. I always forget that part when I order it to.

He was the only one who did it. Use a horn to play 1st trombone parts. Also gives the band a slightly different sound. This year the only time a horn was used was in a Stan Kenton Orchestra chart
