Grapeshot

Including me. Now that the dust has settled I'll be going for mine this year.

I think most of the problems people have with bullpups stem from conversions with poor triggers. With a decent trigger bullpups make a lot of sense.

And Wayne is in the news again. While I am no fan of Letitia James, this may be what it takes to pry Wayne's fat ass out of the throne. https://dnyuz.com/2024/01/02/lapierre-longtime-n-r-a-leader-faces-trial-that-could-end-his-reign/ Much has changed since Ms. James began investigating the N.R.A. four years ago. The organization, long a lobbying juggernaut, is a kind of ghost ship. After closing its media arm, NRATV, in 2019, it has largely lost its voice, and Mr. LaPierre rarely makes public pronouncements. Membership has plummeted to 4.2 million from nearly six million five years ago. Revenue is down 44 percent since 2016, according to its internal audits, and legal costs have soared to tens of millions a year. Legal observers think Mr. LaPierre will be hard pressed to convince the judge that he should keep his job, given the revelations that have surfaced.

I was too, until I read that they offer to dispose of the guns for free. Once I saw that, it all makes sense...

5 pounds of black powder goes fast if you have a cannon.

I have been saying this for years. I send money to local organizations that actually do something, and don't show up in Armani suits (which we paid for). The NRA needs to wake the F up. As its membership ages out, it will continue to decrease in size and relevance. But Wayne and his cronies don't care, as long as they get theirs.

Kinda like New Jersey...

Probably because the wall is on the right hand side. They tend to congregate on warm, light colored surfaces.

I was there around noon - I think I saw you and your friend. I was on the other end sighting in a Ruger 10/22. Thanks for acting as a decoy for the stinkbugs and ladybugs!

Sighted in a new scope at Clinton WMA today. Beautiful day, but the range was loaded with boxelder bugs. I've got a ton of them at my house too. I sprayed and that helped, but they seem to be everywhere. Anyone else seeing an order of magnitude increase this year?

Hornaday allows you to enter both wind speed and direction.

I have a similar problem with guitars.

Just FYI - Groundhogs are tougher than you think. A .22 pellet out of a high-velocity air rifle at short range would probably do the trick, but an actual .22 will be more humane. If you're going to spend the money anyway, buy yourself a nice .22. Cheap to shoot, lots of fun, and everyone should have at least one. BTW - I hunt small game with an air rifle (squirrels and rabbits), and I wouldn't try and kill a groundhog with one (at least not with the rifles that I have).

Fixed! My friends in the British Brigade send me email every year: “Happy Treason Day, ungrateful Colonials”.

If you're looking for something fun and patriotic to do on July 4th, consider coming to Washington Crossing Park (PA side) https://www.washingtoncrossingpark.org/ and learn a little history. We'll be reading the Declaration of Independence (4 times!), have a military encampment, firing cannon, and generally celebrating what makes this nation great. Our schedule is: 12:30 Declaration Reading 1:00 Cannon 1:30 Declaration Reading 2:00 Cannon 2:30 Declaration Reading 2:45 Lecture on Ten Crucial Days in Auditorium (20 minutes) 3:30 Declaration Reading I'll be commanding cannon fire. We'll field our 4 pounder, which makes a lot of noise (5 ounces of 1F powder!). Stop by and introduce yourself! I'll be the tall guy hanging out with the cannon crew and telling you everything you wanted to know about 18th C artillery but were afraid to ask.

That is one ugly shotgun, even for $99.

Yes, that settles it. I always thought he was an idiot, now I'm sure.

Well, that settles it.

I agree. The gutter rear sight is a no-go for me, especially at that price. And while I love my Henry rifles, this just fails to impress.

I've done a few of these and they really do improve your skills: https://appleseedinfo.org/

Definite yay!
