I know a 60 year old I ain't crossing - John Sharp. Look, chances are you two will never cross paths. I'm trying to help you out. Last edited by hatari; 08/12/15.

This scope carry thing must be left over from Eugene Stoner putting a handle on the AR15/M16. You'd be surprised how many people didnt know that.

Who says "bruh" anyway (other than teen-somethings- and what does it actually mean? Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.

Yeah, I can read sign. (Conversely, there are some that wouldn't, and do.) As some have been known to say, "This ain't rocket surgery." Bob and I are doing some hunting together this fall. I'm rather looking forward to it. And maybe coming home with his Mashburn. grins WWP53D

No turrets. How'd I even hit him? No guide....shucks had to shoot and dress him myself. I was 59 or 60 years old in that picture.Do I look like John Buhmiller to you? No suspenders. Idiots....LOL!

David What wasn't lost on me is the notion you seem to have that if your 54 years old you can't fight. While it's true, 50-something muscles can't keep up with a 20-something or even a 30-something set of muscles, neither the 20 year old nor the 30 year old has seen near as much of life as the 54 year old has. I speak from experience. I'm 55. I harbor no illusions about being about being a bad-ass, because I'm not. I have, however, been weight training since I was 13, and training in martial arts since I was 18. I don't like to fight and do all I can to avoid it. The training served me well during my 16 year career as a Deputy Sheriff in Brazos County, Texas. My training enables me to stop a fight before one really gets going. That generally means the other guy either can't and doesn't want to continue being an irritant after the initial contact. If I were forced to fight a highly trained 20 year old I'd be in for a world of hurt. But, something I've found about the true bad asses of the non-criminal world; they don't want to fight and will do just about anything to avoid a street fight.

You make an excellent straight man. It's the idea that a 54 yr old man is still resorting to threats of physical violence and intimidation to resolve conflicts. That someone is not so subtly insunating that this 54 yr old man might kick my ass if I continue to disagree with him - phugging hilarious! I see why you are so insulted now - you're that age and you still believe this is viable behaviour. I'm crying I'm laughing so hard.... David
