I retired in 2011 and had the opportunity to beta test several of the simulators that came on the scene during my tenure an instructor. The last system we had allowed the use of laser guns or live fire at the images projected on the rubber screen covering our bullet trap. I’m sure these systems...

Alberta is a great area with some beautiful drives. Should you tag out early add an extra day to your driver home, drive down through the parks. It’ll be worth it. The oil and gas industry up north has really changed things but there are still plenty of bears. Safe travels and have fun.

I think the Kentucky Derby should be on every ones just once list. I’ve been to one Rose Bowl, one Super Bowl, game one of a World Series, the Derby has them all beat.

This is easy, 7x57; 140 gr Accubonds or Ballistic tips at 2900 and change in my #1 moa accuracy, what is not to like? Acctually hit 2970fps but extraction got a little sticky so backed off. I have almost purchased a 6.5 x 55 a couple times but with a 257 roberts and a 7x57 I knew at some point I...

I love well balanced 20ga guns and back in the old days, before the toxic shot ban, I had no problem killing ducks and geese with one. As noted by JMRhino the 410 is the most ill behaved of all current shotgun chamberings. I would suggest you get your son a well balanced 28guage. A few weeks ago...

Excellent work. Might get it a little tighter or call it good go hang some steel and bang away. I’ll bet once you have your come ups with that load you’ll bang an 8 or 10 inch plate every time at 400 yards.

Great white is an amazing horse.

Right, to go from what, 100 yards behind with 400 yards to go in a race that is a mile and a quarter in 2 minutes, amazing.

Well my horses finished 2 and 4 wish I had bet my 2 bucks on 70/1 Golden Tempo. That was a great horse race. indeed. My better half has family history in Kentucky going back to Daniel Boone and the Wilderness trail. She, as a teen, exercised horses at Churchhill Downs as well as a couple of big...

In this house we stand for the National anthem, for my Old Kentucky Home and because of the rescues of Catherine in Afganistan Black hawks flying over.

We didn’t make it back to Kentucky for the Derby this year. All of Catherines Kin are there and sending pics and well wishes. Me, I bet on Grays and long odds. Good luck with your bets.

At the risk of being redundant at this point I’ll add that the partition was the only bullet I used for years on moose, caribou, deer, (Sitka and Columbia blacktails, mule deer and white tails, elk, bears, antelope, bighorns, coyotes and what ever else needed to be shot. I started loading the...

So the stay off the shoulder idea bugs me, a lot. Without reasonable exception bullet placement is every thing. High shoulder you loose some meat, very likely anchor the animal right there. Behind the shoulder the animal can and often will run until the brain runs out of oxygen. This is...

Again, one day ahead flying to port Elizabeth.

Shoot, missing you by a day. I’ll be arriving Joburg on the 14th. When do you return?

Outstanding Vince, when do you head over?

Not quite apples to apples but I’ve had good luck with VV560 and Rl 19 in my 300 HH.

Excellent work.

I have a pair of Sitka Timber Line Pants, Open Country camo pattern. Still have the tags. I waited too long to exchange so I’m stuck with them and don’t need them. Size 36 regular. $100.00 American to your door.

I’ve gotten some pretty high speeds 3100 and change at 64000 psi. According to Dr. Mikes projections. But started getting some extraction problems with the #1 at those speeds. The difference in recoil, 3000 to 3100 was surprisingly noticeable. :)
