Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 2013 24HOURCAMPFIRE HOG HUNT

I musta been over at the truck loadin' pistolas, I didnt get to see that.

Gunner

and you won't see it again.

im just a boney skinny guy that can eat

IIRC ...

Rockchucker: "Hey, there's no recoil pad on this."

Gunner: "You're a man, ain't you?"

Rockchuker on ground: not saying too much.

i took it.

boy did i ever take it.

i'll shoot vit again just to redeem myself

You guys are funny. lol

Gunner

tomorrow I'll shoot some 500's in the High Wall. This will be interesting...

I think I'll bring the .45-70 #1. It's not shooting black powder...

The moral of that story is if Gunner asks you "You're a man, ain't you?", the correct answer is "Maybe?".

Gunner

And later in the day, Doc grabs his shoulder in a vise grip, and says, "any broken bones?" and Bobby's eyes get kinda big

Gunner just [bleep] hisself He wuz shootin' paperpatched slugs outta his Sharps 45/70 So the REAL addiction is about ta start! When he kills the schit outta a hog wid one he is on the DARKSIDE forever

I could totally dig a SxS in 45/120 or 50/140 3 1/4 with three leaf sights on the rib, properly regulated. Add in a set of matching 20GA barrles and a set up like that MIGHT make me think about selling my Karnis, Ed LaPour and Jim Rector modified/ tweaked semi famous 416 Rigby. Such a rifle in 9.3x74R / 20GA would also make me swoon and think hard about parting with my beloved, and proven deadly, Rigby.

On the topic of black powder torture....One of my Cap Buff clients years ago had a custom .54 cal SxS front stuffer built for his cape buffalo hunt. He had it twisted and regulated to shoot with 54 caliber SEVEN HUNDRED grain flat nosed HARD cast conicals backed by a full 250gr of 3F! The idea was to point said torture stick at a mostly unsuspecting buff, pull one trigger, and after the considerable smoke cleared see who could stand up again first for the second go round - if either could get thier legs back under them after the blow to both combatants! My client is still alive to tell the story and the buff ain't, so that made him the winner of the bout, but only by the barest of margins and on points

got some help today. so maybe i will get the knifes done.i am in need of some good flint, chert. obsidian.anything i can make some arrowheads out of. ken

actually ive got a couple of chunks of obsidian around here somewhere....believe besides standard black ive got snowflake and mahogany....

Just getting back on an actual computer having just got home after a week in Fla. visiting.

Ken, that, IMHO, is an outstanding knife!

George

I believe I'll take the "just walk away" option......

That said, I'll fire damn near anything once. I'm a little concerned about messing around with the large-bore AR as it might start another itch.

Scott, if you're willing to put up with a damnyankee I'd likely stand in with HAJ for a learner.

George

found a black chunk......since the snowflake and mahogany chunks werent with it im thinking they might be up in the front corner of the garage and im not sure i can get to them before Thursday when i head to Mark's

I'll have a fist sized piece of Obsidian you're welcome to, it's just sitting on my bathroom counter at the moment.

I'll bring some extra ammo for the AR-10, and folks are welcome to shoot it, too.

I'd like to see how it's done.
When I was a kid I dug one up while "playing war".
Foolishly, I traded it away long ago.
