I'd like to apologize to any offended, within the context of buffalo hunters being a fairly thick skinned lot,....a group not often in need of shelter from rough and tumble, honest dialogue.
I'm probably the WORST offender in that regard, here, in a VERY recent thread. I'll own up to being EXTREMELY protective of friends, and truth. ....I'll own up to being a complete idiot in how my mis-perceptions can very well (and do) get in the way of percieving honest and credible "discussion"

That's it,....I'm sorry for offending anybody offended, and sticking to my guns in terms of defending long and revered friendships with master mechanics.

Black Powder arms, and accuracy achieved therewith is not part of the fabric of this "Great Society",.....and there's an awful lot of smokeless shooters that will never get clued into how BP shooting plays.

Ya' gotta' be pullin' my leg !

Actually,...NO, I'm not BS'ing.
