Am I the only one who is amazed at the cowboy movies where they get 7 or 8 shots out of a Colt peacemaker WITHOUT reloading? 

Or when the Dr. in the film "Halloween" fired 8 rounds at Michael Myers from a S&W Model 28 without reloading?

Also, how come TV and movie guns never seem to have recoil?



ok, rant off.

I damn near fell head over heels with an older cadet in ROTC when she invited me to her apartment in Va. to study for an exam. It was raining like hell and she had been cleaning her personal AR. She smelled like Hoppes number nine, rum and wet leather from her jacket. I was 19 and totally gone. :)

Nah, I just said an introduction. She's jewish, and an agnostic all 36 years of her life. BUT, she hears the clock ticking and wants a kid, and has gotten religion. We've only been toghether a couple of months, and most of that as friends with benefits, not officially dating. Now, she's talking weddings and kids. Not something I was ready for, plus, part of the deal is she wants me to convert. Thats never going to happen.

Careful FQ if she hears the clock ticking you may just be a daddy before you know it. :o  As far as those benefits go, just see how beneficial it is if you become an unmarried daddy.  I have a good friend who's girlfriend's clock was ticking and thought she would "convince" my friend to convert.  Needless to say it didn't work and 10 years later it's still a mess.

I'm old enough to be her daddy, which really doesn't matter to me, but as the grandson of a 50 years in the pulpit Lutheran minister, I'm not a canidate for conversion.  I'm also not a canidate to be a daddy again.

Agreed. We parted with a hand shake a couple of days ago, and I think the prudent course is to keep it that way. Too bad though, as dating someone who's idea of relaxation after twenty hours on call for trauma surgery  in the ER is to have me ride "bitcg" (sic deliberate) while she moves us from Jackson Memorial in Miami, to Naples along the Tamiami Trail  at 120 mph on  an absurd Kawisaki  crotch rocket at 1:00 am so we could go snook fishing in the 'Glades with my dad the next morning, is not something you find every day in a woman. But I am no fool.

True, but in the case of a close relationship they must be discussed, and religion needs an agreement since it affects almost everything we do.

#1  You evaluate shooting scenes in movies for hints, tips, ideas, and yes even errors - Watched Shooter again last night and now need to see it again.  Has anyone noticed that, I think, he is shooting right handed through the entire movie, but in the snow scenes they show him using the trigger finger of his left hand?;

#2  Some where in the transition of your hunting and shooting life your guns become a tool rather than a "worship" item - I don't know when it happened, but I used to be more worried about the care of my gun than its effectiveness.  My guns are now chosen, used, worn, modified, etc. to be comfortable and useful for me and not in a way to keep them in 99% condition for resale or investment purposes;

#3  You buy ammo in two ways - First is price, because you burn through so much of it you just need consistent supply to keep you supplied as you reload or are unable to reload (reloadable brass is key here), second is the higher end loads that you don't care what it costs, because that is what your gun needs and likes (my cheep .22lr rounds are that way - good standard velocity for matches, and I stay away from some of the cheapest stuff because each gun has its likes and I want a cheap ammo I can shoot in any of them rather than Wildcat for one gun, Thunderbolt for another, Federal bulk for one, and American Eagle for yet another);

#4  Friends and family (ohhhhhhh family ... In-laws  >:( ) are exposed to guns through out your house - Visitors will often find the short barreled shotgun by the front door, a long range 22-250 next to the french doors leading to the deck, a 10/22 next to some screenless window, and a handgun next to my desk chair or recliner if they show up unannounced  - When you live in the country guns are positioned in their place of need.  A skunk, coon or possum is dead on our yard; stray dogs are sent packing if they look like a pet and have no history, but if they are a known wanderer or hazard to livestock they are dead; a winter rabbit crossing the snow is called lunch; and now that the kids are gone it is not uncommon for me to unholster and set the gun next to where I am working or reading;

#5  As has been mentioned in different ways on here by others, you spend more time checking your pockets for ammo and brass before throwing clothes in the laundry than you do checking for pens and cash;

#6  You have a shopping list for batteries - Three reddots, a laser range finder, tactical flashlight and hearing protection that require an assortment of four different batteries that are hard to find ... fresh;

#7  You go through more index cards and pocket notebooks than the average college student from making range cards to tape to the stock of your gun (did I forget to mention rolls and rolls of clear packing tape) and pocket notes for the sighting and shooting of each gun;

#8  Wife is getting ready for a trip (mine is leaving to be Bible leader at  camp for a week) and you need to empty two suitcases for her to use ... did you know that suitcases make really good range and gear bags for spotting scopes, shooting coats, targets, etc.?  I do, and it took her a couple years to get used to me having packed bags ready all the time (not sure where I was headed off to without her), and she is really getting tired of finding ammo and brass in her clothes on vacation.

Even if you are not a gun guy now, you need to read this entire thread and make you future mate aware of what will happen to you over the years
