    Some Remembrances of Wilbur (the Original Cook and Bottle Washer)

    Sometimes Wilber would come across something he thought would interest shooters and talk about it. On his recommendation I bought a real nice shooting bag and think about him every time I use it. Wilber was a damn good man,

    Shooting-Related, Autobiographical Snippets

    Most of you know I shoot Whistle Pigs ( Beldon's Ground Squirrel's) on a 1000 acre ranch here in Idaho. The ranch has been in the family since 1862 and has a ton of history. The ranch was much larger at one time but parcels have been sold off by previous generations to make it more...

    Shooting-Related, Autobiographical Snippets

    I was hunting pheasants with my springer when she busted a bird that was hiding in the grass under the snow. It dropped just a little ways offshore on the ice and off she went. When she picked up the bird they both broke thru the ice and her attempts to get back on the ice where going nowhere. I...

    Flinching

    There is a ton of advice here for improving your shooting but I have never seen anyone address flinching. I'm sure most people here don't but if you are in doubt here is a way to find out. When I was in boot camp qualifying your range instructor would sometimes hand you a M1 clip with a...

    Arthritis

    Working on cars. The 40 Ford was my last project. Working under the dash was a killer among other things. The 63 I sold and always regretted it, and that's why I got the 66. My son has it and he sold the 40 Ford for me. I had a lot of fun with the cars. As long as I can reload and shoot I'm a...

When or how it got dropped I don't know but I'm back on. I'm scheduled for injections in three weeks but if the pills...

    I remember Mike and in our limited conversations there were no issues ,however he seemed to have a knack for getting crossways with some of folks here. After while no one would respond to his posts and he faded away. Mort

    Arthritis

    Thanks Al but I have been using Voltaren for some time and it doesn't do much any more. I even wear a wrist brace to minimize hand movement. I'm going to bite the bullet and try injections. I have had several in my neck but they never worked...I guess we will see. Mort

    Given this age group I'm sure I'm not the only one dealing with this, and doing case prep has become a problem. Anyway I went ahead and bought an electric case prep machine and it helps. Not perfect but helps. I don't get around like before and didn't mind killing time doing case prep,. but I...
