  1. The only primers I’ve saw was a couple months ago for $60/1000 and I passed but the way things are looking they are gonna stay high for a while. I did buy powder which was $32 a pound. Way over my norm
  2. Sounds good. Stock up on your primers when you can and after you get your .45 look into lead and you’ll be enjoying that Schofield. This new normal if it remains so is gonna be rough on us shooting hobbyists.
  3. I’d love to have some of those old revolvers too! My only single action revolver is a Ruger Blackhawk in .357 I have thought many times of buying a clone of the peacemaker in .45 colt I bit the bullet just prior to the 2008 elections and began accumulating my reloading and casting equipment. I recommend that if you haven’t expanded to this in our hobby that you do so. Getting started was very overwhelming I don’t know your finances but for me I had to begin reloading with a piece at a time. my first purchase was just a Lee turret press. .45 colt isn’t cheap to shoot unless you cast and reload your own. My .444 and .45/70 in 2008 was $34 per 20 out the door but I was able to reload my own with Hornady bullets less than $8 per 20. I bought up lead and molds and all those things and price drops considerably more. I know 14 years later that prices have went up but welcome to the new normal. I would like see you get that .45 colt and you can load your own .45 colt and .45 schofield to shoot outta the same gun!
  4. Go to where they are, move very little and slowly and look a lot. What few rabbits and grouse I’ve arrowed have been spontaneous occurrences. Shooting into the ground with broadheads makes for short lived broadheads. Adder points added to field points or blunts work. DO NOT USE FIELD POINTS BY THEMSELVES. I can recall a possum and fox I hit with a blunt and both dropped in their tracks being hitting in lung heart area. Rabbits are the easiest to die critter I’ve come across so a well placed blunt will do the job.
  5. It’s for when the traps and cranks aren’t working and you need to dig for worms!!!!
  6. Roland Martin use to do commercials selling those
  7. You use it to adjust the rattle in rattle traps and crank baits but it’s the wrong size for jerkbaits and stinkbaits
  8. I’ve had and have several .410 pistolas as I’ve always shot lots of mice rats copperheads and rattlers. But on this occasion mr rat was in our cabin uninvited and LCP 2 was with me so bang zoom.
  9. Sure, I’d like nothing more than my .380 to aim at something measuring .380” and hit it. This rat was maybe 8 feet away and I was able to give him an awful headache.
  10. With the 2 I think it was to improve the trigger and more pronounced sights. The looks between them are different too which may equate to a lil more purchase area on the grip on the 2 (I am not sure). Ruger went and made the LCP max which is a 11 shot model in the LCP 2 size.
  11. I like eating fish bait. This can reminds me of Rapala minnows color. You guys like them?
  12. Canada isn’t in Europe? Dang…
  13. 35 years an angler and still going strong
  14. Welcome to BR!!
  15. Welcome back to bass fishing Jim!
  16. Welcome to BR!
  17. Welcome to BR!
  18. Yep, same here. They always mess with my balsa jerks but I’ve only caught a couple
  19. I suppose it’s a sign of a healthy ecosystem but I was thinking earlier this morning how these creeks and small rivers I fish for smallmouth in will slow it’s flow to pools in summer and how there can be as many as 40-50 gar up to 36” in length and how does small waters provide so much to keep them fed. Makes me wanna give ‘em the shaft to help the Smallies.
