Decades ago many shooters terms like rifle crank, gun bug, etc. Were those considered "rude speak" back when you were young?


Look where that rude speak has got us!

We had writers with the stature of Townsend Whelan and Jack O'Connor.

Now we have reaction to 'big-stick' on here.

FWIW for a period of time, before the internet got so sophitocated I think I took all of Wolfe's different mags, plus Shooting Times, Gun n Ammo, The Accurate Rifle and Shooting Times( until their demise) Todd Kindler's Small Caliber News and was a VHA member. Probably a dozen or more subscriptions. I think the only one that comes now is Varmint Extreme, and they just send it!.

Not to blow smoke up your skirt, but the reason I purchased the cap was not because of Wolfe, but rather a guy whose initials happen to be JB.

BTW that is the Nosler #4 Manual.

I've been hunting critters in some form or fashion since 1957 when I learned to twist a rabbit out of a hole with a forked stick. Never much followed the crowd, but I found that my experiences, mirrored what you wrote (when our paths crossed).

Best,

Just when I wonder whether this guy should be on ignore or not he doubles down on his ignorant humorlessness.
