  1. And now we wait
  2. I’m heading to the ranch shortly. Going to shoot my elk rifle at my long range steel, do some chores and then shoot birds if they’re flying. For elk, I’m shooting a 7PRC this year. I did some long range classes at Delta Red this summer and shot it out to 2000 yards with handloads. The powder I like has been unavailable for the last couple years which is really irritating, but I switched and found one that works well so far (loaded a little hot, need to shoot it more to assure not excessive pressure), just zeroed and shot out to 500, will see more today. Hunt is the first week in October so not far away.
  3. Took the 12 yo daughter to the party - had a great time. She recognized Ella Swindle and got a pic: Hit the Posse for a burger: Hit Congress to watch the bats: Then back to the Littlefield Fountain for some pics. She was very interested in how hard it is to get into UT on the drive home. She’ll always be a big fan, especially after this week.
  4. Oregon’s ace threw ~140 pitches in 9 innings last night, game ended after midnight. Looked like she was basically begging the offense to put a run on the board between the 9th and 10th.
  5. The internet says 4-6mph velocity reduction between pitcher and catcher for a softball. The bigger, lower density softball slows down faster, but traveling a shorter distance vs. baseball; results washout to be about the same.
  6. It’s been a few years, but the Monahans location was quite serviceable for the area and if memory serves, it was the best restaurant in town.
  7. Liberty is a terrible fielding team
  8. I always secure feeders with concrete form stakes. Easier to drive with a small sledge than a t post or rebar and the holes make for great tie wire tie points.
  9. I did some turkey hunting the last two weekends. Tried to get my 15yo daughter on a Jake this AM but it wasn’t to be. Cut a new lane and installed a backstop at the ranch where I can shoot 785 yards. Rang the steel on the first shot which was cool. Steel through phone skope: I shot an NRL Hunter match about a month ago in Brownfield. Tons of fun and really stepped my long range game up.
  10. @CleverNickname is the portal to Pan’s Labyrinth on your place?
  11. Got our first bobcat trail cam photo last week in Lampasas, pretty cool.
  12. When I’m hunting in a remote area (no cell signal and/or hours for an ambulance), I always carry a tourniquet. I don’t worry too much about band aids /blisters, etc. But fractures resulting in ruptured arteries or an incidental GSW to a limb that results in bleeding out are catastrophic problems that I’d like to have a solution for.
  13. @Hamttx Very cool. In what decade was he a PH and in what countries did he do most of his guiding? Any interesting stories? PH and hunting guide stories can be pretty great.
  14. @Hamttx feel free to indulge us in living vicariously through your journey sir if you have a hunt or are planning one for this new rifle purchase
  15. I put 20 rounds through my 375 last weekend. I have decent reloading experience with it and have been hunting with it several times over the last 6 years. I’m actually looking at doing a new 375 rifle build in another year or so. There’s options beyond Winchester I can list if you’re interested, and I’m at your service if you have any questions. Africahunting.com is also a great resource.
