Received my $50.00 check from S&W, (but not the 2 xtra mags yet), from the purchase of my M+P .40, 2 months ago.
I will promptly "recycle" it into the system and buy ammo!
Can't wait for my gov. "rebate" check, (which is our money anyway?), and "recycle" that too.
Already spent a portion of my tax refund on a Walther PPK/S and 1000 rds. of .223.
Might be broke by summer and investing in a reloading machine!
Wife says fishing and golf are cheaper.

And a lot less fun!! :D

I wonder if I can "chum" the fish to the surface and "catch" them with my Ruger Mark III?
Might be on something,...

Fish and Game warden would probably frown >:( on that and unless you're shooting pretty straight down it could be dangerous :o.

Around here fishing is the big thing. I always tell my friends I would fish a lot more if I could SHOOT the fish. The whole bait and hook thing just isn't any fun.
-
Golf sure as hell ain't cheaper. It's just a lot more frustrating.
-
Golf is alot more money then shooting...the cheapest 18 hole corse in my neck of the woods is right at $50 for the week days, $75 for the weekends. My average range trip is alot less then that. Then again, I'm not one to go out and blow thru hundreds of pistol rounds per trip. I find anything past about 75 is counter productive to do in one strech.

Wonder how the PGA would feel about plinking that little ball in that litttle hole ;D

Combine golf and skeet, Golfer tees off, Shotgunner tries to blow the ball to he#%, Sporting Clays guys get in on the puts. ;D

Years ago we used to shoot carp along the shore line when they came into spawn (shooting almost straight down). A lot of fun and illegal now (maybe then too). Really liked shooting rats at the dump, that's illegal now too. Farmer's poison woodchucks now so that hunting is gone.
Some parts of the good old days really were good.

Isn't there a driver that houses a .22? Thought I had seen one a while back . . .
Used to shoot rats in the dump myself too, lots of fun. Also, take a cast iron drain pipe, stick one end into the fire that was always burning at the dump, then drop aerosol cans down the pipe - nozzle first. Do it right and they can go some distance. Less work and more fun than a potato gun.
-
Yep! Rats-dump, same here. At night, red eyes and all (usually theirs). Man, wish I had known about the aerosol can mortar idea back then. Good times and good friends way back when. YES, you might be a redneck if.... Thanks.
Mac.

Maybe we can get the animal rights a$holes to make them stop poisoning the woodchucks because the carcases are eaten by Spotted snail darters or something, then the Farmers would PAY US to come shoot the Woodchucks. It's a thought. Got to pay for ammo some how ;D

When I was a kid a local county would trade 22 shells for ground squerrl tails... Then again I also use to rid my bike to that county ( about 5 miles away) with my nylon 66 straped to my back and no one said a word. This was only about 20 years ago.
-
TAB,
That brought back a memory! I used to strap my .22 on my handlebars and ride a couple of miles to go hunting. Do that now and can you imagine the cell phone calls 911 would get?

We used to shoot rats also. And some area farmers would pay 1.00 a head for ground hogs, the cattle would step in the holes and beak legs. The good ole days!
-
Hell these days you can't even let your kids ride a bike to a friends house a mile away, let alone let them go out hunting/shooting by themselfs.

twyacht.. that's a good recycling philosophy.
