Doesn't look like I was wearing out many razors back then......grin!


that rig even had the gianormous redfield 6-18 x variable on deck back then...

who got you using them thar worthless little cartridges/pills on deer anyhow?

the last bambi i tried to shoot with my swift was hit right amid ships--and it didn't squeal, squawk, ruck up, or nuthin--but jes wandered off, like it was untouched--but no sir, i hit 'em good--if only i'd had my thutty thutty, things been different fer sure--but i leart my lesson--them little things are even too weak fer chucks.

jes ask any internet pilgrim who knows...

wen you gots a thutty thutty, you don't need lots a riflesz, much less a little teeny swift...

ya better git yerself one a them thar big mangrums--or a thutty thutty...

all learning is like a funnel:
however, contrary to popular thought, one begins with the the narrow end.
the more you progress, the more it expands into greater discovery--and the less of an audience you will have...
