Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Do you put tape over the end of your barrel?

Ah Jeff, we are talking about something completely differnt now. The part of the thread you are talking about is long gone. Probably should start a new thread.
NorthernDave,I am way below any comprehension of you post.It would make my head hurt to dwell on it.

I just attribute it to JO being a hybrid... village idiot and troll all rolled into one....he loves this crap and thats why he keeps posting his horse schit.....

Jeff, the reason that you've simply rubbed people the wrong way, is due to your interjections into conversations about subjects that you truly don't know anything about by your own admittance........When given some real world facts, you discard those to trump your own theories that are unproven.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and that's what makes this forum and many more like it so appealing.......different opinions and experiences to come to either similiar or dissimiliar conclusions, but most are based around something someone has tried, not merely a theory.

It's kinda like logging onto Newegg.com and wanting to buy a monitor.......The last thing I want is to be seeing review after a review of a product from someone who has never used the one I'm wanting to purchase, and says so in their review. This same person carries on about another monitor and how it is superior, yet has never even so much as turned on the one I'm wanting to purchase.........are ya starting to see what I'm talking about???

I've yet to kill anything with a Barnes X bullet, but intend to this spring for bear. I've been a diehard Partition fan for 20 years plus and have never had a failure.....With that said, I've done a lot of listening and watching of folks who have used the "X" with success and have seen its virtues in smaller weight bullets, prove to me that it's worth giving a try. I never once put the badmouth on it, simply because I'd never seen it used, or used one myself.
How did I come to this conclusion to switch from a proven performer in the partition to an "X" this season??? Simple; I simply listened, learned, and watched picture after picture of guys who use them on a steady diet to take game that ranged from whitetails to brown bear, in calibers smaller, lighter, and pushing less bullet weight than I've been using.
With what I've seen, it's hardly a gamble and an opportunity to try something new that someone else had to learn, just as I'm doing now.

You can get defensive and upset about how this thread has turned, but you could also step back for a minute and perhaps realize why it did...........It's an easy process that one does not need to have even that good of reading "comphrension" to understand, mixed with some humility.

Just so you're not feeling like your point is falling on deaf ears; I've hunted the majority of my adult life in the same type of vegetation that you hunt now.......Yeah...It's dense and wet, but not nearly as critical as you would make it out to be......BTDT.

Scott...we better follow Brother Bill's lead and go for the colorblind ones....

because I never see any damn animals to shoot

I wish to apologize for the antagonistic tone of my last post.

I'm experiencing a very unpleasant allergic reaction right now that involves my eyes, mouth, and Prednisone. It's no excuse, but it has me living outside my usual cheerful mood and I feel, upon review, that I have been a partner in the "heat" that has been generated in this discussion recently.

I'd rather be part of the "light" than the heat, and again, I apologize.

Perhaps we can manage to have a civil discussion sometime about "How do deer see the color blue". It's an interesting question.

I think I've adequatly defended the concept that a blue muzzle tip could be a problem for some of us, so, I'm going to bow out now.
