That was right around 30 years ago. Craig Boddington was still editing the magazine then, and hired me. We'd already known each other for a decade!

Yeah Muley, thanks for sharing your wisdom, providing direction, and suffering the occasional fool gladly…. Fixed it.

I have stacks of magazines going back years with JB articles. He’s also answered many of my questions in PM’s. Thanks John.

If you don't have it, my personal favorite is the "Anything but bolts " article ( Handloader/Rifle?) if you can find a copy. I need to find another myself after loaning it so many times. Needs more tape to hold it together

Thanks to John sharing his experiences and knowledge in optics and reloading I now load more accurate ammo and have made correct selections in scopes for my needs.

Always trust what John has to say.
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

... Yes... Thank You MD... I have always considered this place as "OZ".. and Mule Deer the "Wizard"... Perhaps not. The wizard of oz was a phony!

Good hunting! John If you wrote it, it's an article I'm interested in reading. I appreciate your availability to answering questions members have as well.

Plus 3. Every time I've asked JB a question he's given me good information that's not available just anywhere. Even though I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm a dick.
