In the brief hours I've been a forum member, I've seen many contentious and political threads regarding firearms. I perused the back issues for a thread of this nature... Didn't exist. Enough non-argumentative interest in the topic to warrant a little bandwidth, though.

I go to 4x4 forums full of conservatives and promote the idea of freedom of speech, individual thought, and natural conservation.
Judging by the number of off-topic posts, I'd guess you could start a thread for just about anything! Except boobs. No boobs. At least, no pictures of boobs. Err... no NAKED pictures of boobs.
Oh wait... gun thread. Yeah. I like my guns. They bring home the bacon. I mean elk. And chukar. That is... when I can find them. And then, by some impossibly fantastic anomalous thrashing of all the odds ACTUALLY hit one, they bring home the chukar. No wait.. I mean biscuits.
Which can only mean, according to the published statistical analysis by some of the more intellectually minded of this forum, that I'm more likely to shoot myself in the foot than I am to ever win the lottery.

A friend of mine recently took up archery because he couldn't find enough bullets to target shoot. He's loving it and now I flinging arrows again too.

get airguns and shoot pellets - they are cheap and plentiful and you can keep your skills sharp...

I priced .44 special hollow points not very long ago and the truth is after not too long if you walk through my front door uninvited you'll be staring at blanks.
maybe I need a cross-bow.
and by they way... you did a poor job of searching for gun appreciation threads. I'm not holding that against you. I'm jus' sayin'....

Is that light the end of the tunnel or a train?

Well hear here. It's about time the gun huggers had a thread for their appreciation of fire arms.
What I've always objected to was the way every thread about a tragic incident involving guns got shot to hell with appreciation of firearms rather than condemnation of the heinous act.
I didn't appreciate that.
Lock, load and carry on.

jr good job on the elk. I feel fortunate to have harvested my first cow a few weeks ago.
It's nice to have firearms to harvest food.

thanks albatross. I got a cow elk tag as well. Bull tags hard to get, and i dont much care about trophies. Hope you enjoy that meat! Good stuff. Burger, steak, jerky, smoked roast. Now if i could just find a good pattern to sew up some climbing boots and a source for sticky rubber i could make some oldschool hi-tops...

Not that it means anything as it was just HOLLYWOOD as to say but I was watching a British show about a virus that takes out 90% of the population
Funny thing is the few with a gun were the ones in charge........

Well, it's off to a good start.
A little something different, a WWII Bren in .303, legally acquired and built into a semi-auto from a parts kit. Sights are offset to the left to accommodate the top mounted magazine. Very fun and different feeling to shoot.

I have some training in long range shooting, here's me with a 700 meter group, .308 shooting 180 gr Sierra Gameking handloads.
I use a simple formula to determine distances using a specific scope.
50 gallon drums as they appear at 800 yards.
