  1. I’m pretty sure I’ve told this story here, but my daughter’s fiancé (as of this coming Saturday… keep your lips sealed, Surly) had a FB teammate from California whose dad wanted to join some other dads on a pheasant hunt. During a break, he was resting against the pickup much like the guy in your video, except he had BOTH hands over the muzzle. One of the dogs came up to him and wanted some lovin’, so it reached up with a paw to get the his attention. You guessed it, the dog pulled the trigger and the guy still had a shell in the chamber. Blew one hand completely off and most of the other went along with it.
  2. Should’ve made it $1, just to drive home the point.
  3. NP are 180 grain, TA are 175. I also have 165 grain Trophy Bonded Tip that I was originally going to use until I found the Terminal Ascent. Everything I’ve read from reputable sources about the TA is very positive. The general consensus is that Federal has expanded the effective range. https://www.gunsandammo.com/editorial/federal-terminal-ascent-hunting-bullet/377516 Petersens, American Hunter, American Rifleman…. The land I’m hunting is adjacent to parkland, so any shot I have would likely be 250-300 max, unless I want to chance a meeting with a park ranger and game warden.
  4. I found some Federal Premium .308 Win. in Nosler Partition at a local gun store this week. I was beginning to think Nosler Partitions were a myth, a ghost, like Jordan Shipley. Now I’m not sure what I’ll shoot on my elk hunt, those or some Terminal Ascent I also picked up. Both shoot pretty tight groups. It’s hard to tell which is better since I’m not exactly a sniper. Not even a hand loader.
  5. +rep, but can you please start your sentences with capital letters? Punctuation at the end of sentences would be a bonus.
  6. Skip to 00:01 for the 1 second captured on this video.
  7. Anybody self-loathing enough to post a video of that Pittman screwup? I’m not able to watch, so thanks in advance for the kick to the nuts.
  8. Dear God, where is the honor and sportsmanship in this game of American football?
  9. We had an indoor cat about 30 years ago, and I gave her a false pregnancy by scratching her too much at the base of the tail. True story that I’m not proud to admit until now.
  10. Lettering is photoshopped. Rep removed.
  11. I keep one in my pickup to grab things that inevitably get in the furthest reaches of the bed. I also have two with suction cups on the tips that don’t really suck, they just have a nice gripping quality. I got those in the As Seen On TV display at WalMart. The one that hangs in my garage is for picking up dog poop.
  12. My back scratcher serves other purposes, is ergonomic, and the curve reaches all areas of my back Pro tip: get one with a middle tooth. It allows pinpoint scratching accuracy. Mine is a Good Cook brand.
  13. Everyone calm down. The off week gives us plenty of opportunities for breakout sessions and team-building exercises. We’ll get this fixed.
  14. I’m almost positive we did it when I attended my first away game in 1979. I’m not sure if the team gathered in front of the band, though. We don’t stop them.
  15. And the point you’re trying to make is what?
  16. We have to be 3-deep in 4 stars and at least two years into any system to expect competent play. At least that’s what I’ve been told as I watch other teams turn things around practically overnight.
