Nice! Looks like you guys had fun.

Let me know if you guys are going.....I don't have suitable targets though...

It's called delayed acceleration and they teach it in driving courses. Makes sense to me

I hate people in my personal space too, a few feet away is far enough to be comfortable but close enough to be private. The whole patting on the back thing entirely depends on who it is, I've been guilty of it, and I'm also guilty of the limpy noodle sometimes too. I get aggravated at technological items often

I'm aggravated....I don't know why though.

These seem to be promising from what I've heard. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?p ... ber=124330

Thats it we can add skeet to idpa shoots I'm still a fan of a shotty and think it has its place alongside a carbine. But seriously if anyone finds a place to do rifle and shotgun competitions let me know, no pistols here

Agreed. They didn't have butt plates back in the day.

I would like to find a place in the centraler region that does shotgun and rifle idpa shoots also.

Are those lockable??? You can put a lock on anything, the question is whether it keeps people out.

Canvas bags, ziploc bags, and cardboard boxes....

Damn self employed people

Welcome from your neighbor.

it is required that you check your traps every 24 hours,many trappers check them at least 2 times a day. As far as I know the leg hold traps that you are refering to are illegal. snares isn some cases are very safe and I have known hunters that released catches from snares for whatever reason with no ill effects to the animal. If you wish to get involved in trapping maybe the box traps are the way you should do it. very little stress to the animal and it will ease your feelings as well. Thanks for the info, really helped.

U I agree the yotes and fox need to be kept in check to keep the rest in check. the traps that I have the biggest negative atitude towards are the foot clamp things, name? To me th animal has o be in pain the entire time they're trapped there until the trapper can dispense the animals. How often does a trapper check their trap? Daily? That could leave the animal in pain and trapped for 24 hours right? Like I said I know nothing about trapping so I could be way off. I've even learned a little in this thread. I guess my logic seems to be in giving the animal more of a chance but that makes no sense since when hunting half the time they don't even know you're there.

I do agree with you with hopes for a quick clean kill and that everything is suffering. FWIW I'm not saying I'm against it in anyway, to each their own. I was just wondering if I was the only wierdo with this feeling.

There are different kinds of traps. You also are allowed to keep a 22 with you so you can quickly dispatch a trapped animal when you get there. As long as you have a hunting Lic and a Rifle permit. However the animal is sitting in the trap until you get there, or caught in a trap. IDK

Understood. I fish and am getting into hunting, trapping just kind of seemed less humane, but I'm not sure why. I think I'm thinking more along the lines of the old bear traps.

The buttons on the 552 are still on the rear. The 556 has them on the side. I have a 552 and love it. 556 552 That's what I meant. Too many different numbers

Just curious what everyone's views on trapping are? I kind of have a negative view on it and want to see if its just me.

x2. That looks great, quite impressive. I'm looking forward to some more pics, start to finish.

Eotech I would go with the 552 so you have the buttons on the side. Great if you want to use a magnifier or have back up sights.
