Home Forums Hunting & Shooting BPCR gunner500's 1874 Sharps .45-110 of 1877 production

Gunner I sorta parked my big shooter and went and ordered a girley .38-50 shooter Tore the retina in both eyes last June shooting a .45-90 in high temp heat and lost a lot of my center vision.
I guess age is starting to catch up with 26 year old mind frame.

Bill warned me that can happen shooting Calamity as much as I did.

Dang, i'm sorry to hear that Kurt, but man you had a good run, i'm closing in on 60, not ready to park mine yet, but will admit 30 rounds from the bench has me thinking about a gallon of liquid advil and a cool drink!

Gunner,

I still shoot it but not 400 rounds plus a week anymore. At 82 I think I'm getting to get a little soft.

Stay well and have a fine new year.

Kurt

Lord, if i knew even today i had to fire my 50-90 400 rounds this week i'd have already been on the phone yesterday ordering a truck load of ice and have Wife send a nurse out for a gatorade I.V. in one arm and advil I.V. in the other!

You guys take care up there to Kurt, hope you all dont get to much snow this year, come on Spring!

I'll be danged, there's our old buddy Bill Bagwell, is that you in the yellow shirt? Orville in the middle?

Great pic Kurt, Thanks!

That's a Great PIC that never gets old!

Yes and that feller laying on my foot is Bills dog Lieka.

That was the day Bill shot Calamity my .50 and it split his lip. He only shot it once and handed it back to me.
I said hit that Buff again and this is the first time I ever heard Bill use a cross word. I said shoot it not kiss it

LOl, i'll have to remember that one, ""Shoot it, Dont kiss it!"" looks like you guys were having fun out West somewhere according to the scenery behind you, wish i had known you guys and was there at that time.

That was on the Shiloh range.

Dang, bet that was a heck of a fun time!

Ditto!

I sure wish the same thing! I know that I could have learned a trick or two!

Hahaha! Shoot it don't Kiss it! Great Line!
