The only thing I really have against the guys that bring the big stuff to the range, is my ears get beat up big time, esp. the guys using the big 300s and when braked....if they hit what they aim at, all is well. Me, I just enjoy shooting ALOT when I go to the range, so heavy recoiling guns would never get as much shooting in one session, and for my style of hunting, I have done well w/o.

Reading that story was very interesting. That father got it together on his shot to save his son's life and KUDOS for his shooting skills, and more importantly the resolve to stay calm enough to pull it off.

Yeah was not sure about the Alaska/BC thing, but that woman was lucky.

We have a GM plant in my town, that is being/was shut down recently. I imagine the thought never occured to workers years in the past. Hopefully for you and the unemployed/underemployed i.e. my cousins, up your way, the auto industry makes a comeback. Perhaps newer technology can spark a much needed boost to the US auto industry, and the economy as a whole.
