Got out for a couple hours this evening and scooped up my first ever "leap-horn". NO ONE in the history of shed hunting has ever accomplished this feat two years in a row, so they are kinda special,lol

I'm sure conservatives would be fine with an EPA that actually put humans first.

No Paula............we are ALL winners now.

Abolish the EPA entirely? No. Drastically reduce the bureaucratic size of the EPA, and restrict the scope of it's power? Absolutely, yes. The EPA has become an unelected lawmaking body within the federal government. That's wrong, and should be stopped.

This a photo of all of the extra turkey parts of the turkeys I have killed: No, the photo is not missing. Darn birds have completely eluded me.

I love mine. I really makes rough sighting in a two shot endeavor. Cross hairs on the bull. take a shot. re align cross hairs to bull and secure gun. adjust scope until the cross hairs are over the first bullet hole. ready for fine tuning. Stabile. easy to carry and I have never had a problem with any POI changes out to 300 yards in a range situation after getting it dialed in on the sled. Even using sand bags after that. I have never used it out past that 300 yard mark.

This is somewhat funny. 95 percent of the deer I have killed with a gun were off hand. Should I sight in off hand? For some reason, I don't think that would yield the best result. Same reason people use a bench and bags even though that also can alter poi with different pressure on the stock. Maybe if was shooting 500-600 yds out west it would matter. The longest shot I have ever taken on a deer was 240ish yards. I did kill the deer but that just isn't my style of hunting. I like up close and personal, not sniping. Probably why I much prefer bow hunting. All I can say is that I don't have any problems killing deer with any of the guns I have sighted in using the sled at least at the distances I shoot deer. Too each his own.

I want a participation trophy! I'm kinda' old, so I've never gotten one.

I luv the Do-si-dos....with ice cold glass of milk!!

Pirogies and kielbasa

but you haven't shot it? Take it for what it is worth. I wouldn't recommend loading a bunch of any one load until you see if your gun even likes it.

Uggh I ordered 6 boxes from one of the secretaries at work a month or so ago. They came in today...............only 5 boxes made it into the house, ain't enough left in the 6th to bring inside. Uggh

I hang mine in my gun cabinet, but it's getting a bit crowded in there and I may have to come up with a different display for them...

At your prompting - all of you - I followed up with Browning. They say the replacement was a new camera - sans packaging, etc. It arrived in a box with some cushioning around it, nothing but a camera body. The lens was dirty when it arrived. The camera had fingerprints on it. The only thing in the box besides camera and packaging was a note "we tested this one". So, maybe they sent a new one. However, their techs need to wash their hands and learn to communicate.

Here is a picture Dan (Pygmy) sent via email to me and asked me to post................................ Pretty nice set up!!!!!

Check out the 1000 piece puzzle we just completed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

here's a pic of a beardboard i put together for the last turkey banquet. I had a piece of firewood that i noticed had some spalting in it so I chopped it up into a 16" board and threw this together.

Get a kinetic bullet puller they're less than $20. I'm a bit curous as to how you worked up to a load 3gr under max. Rule of thumb is to start 10% under maximum & work up. That would be 44gr or 5gr under max..

+1 Well said. To each there own. Dead deer are dead deer.

Did I win?

A 'lead-sled' type of rest generates an entirely different POI from anything encountered in a hunting situation. They're meant for shooting lots of rounds during load development, testing bedding, checking for stock/barrel pressure points, etc. They're a testing tool, and are not meant for sighting in a gun for hunting. Unless you plan to carry it, and the bench, into the field with you. I'll go ahead and be the a****le here: If you need a 'lead-sled' type of rest to sight in your hunting gun, you're probably using too much gun. Testing? Sure. But sighting in? Nope.

Back strap, smashed potatoes and broccoli. And Girl Scout cookies too.

Chicken enchiladas

Thanks for the recommendation Fletch back on page 22. Different color label but a good IPA.

For dessert we just whipped ice cream in the mixer and smashed in Tagalongs and Thin Mints. I did Heath bar and pretzels

I disagree having actually sighted in the same rifle off bags and then with the led sled. Only difference was that my groups were slightly tighter off the sled because it is a better rest. Then again, I don't shoot 400yds so perhaps this doesn't apply for the snipers out there.

I love mine when shooting the .300 and 7mm magnums!

I would say that they would be great for load development, but "sighting in"? Are you guys going to carry the lead sled around while you are hunting? I wouldn't expect a weapon to shoot to the same POI from the shoulder/bags as W/the lead sled. I sight in over bags W/my left hand holding the forearm on top of the bag and another bag under the toe. The recoil should be the same as when I shoot off the rails of the stand. Recoil affects POI.

Yup, some of us are REAL winners!

You never heard of a treble hook and 30lb test? It works wonders......

Hey it was that or Sterno

Works amazing for sighting in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would like a full mount but I just don't have the room for now. This is how I display my success!!

Or in this case the size of your type

No one I know has ever told an exciting story about putting the "stalk" on a stalk of celery, or an encounter that put a trophy "head" of lettuce on their wall. Your life is about to become a whole lot more interesting and exciting. .... first thing you'll need to learn how to do is the "backstrap boogey"! It's good exercise,lol You can still throw all that green leafy crap on top of your meat if you desire. This place will be a good starting point for your interest in hunting and fishing, so welcome aboard and good luck.

Just got notice from manager that as of next Tuesday I will be layed offf untill the spring.I am a seasonal employee of a local fencing company and this is the longest season I have stayed on.Not sure what I will do with my time off,do a little smallgame hunting and relax no plans on travel.

Had this one last night. Not a huge brown ale fan. This hoppy brown ale was enjoyable however

Lol I gotta ask maybe dumb...what's a leap horn?Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I don't shot at 400yds, but more than 1/2 of my shots are right around 240-250yds. Most of my rifles are capable of 1/2" or less groups @ 100yds off of bags. Anything more than 1" to 1 1'4" is unacceptable. A 2" POI change @ 100yds will be 5" at 250yds. Add that onto shooting from improvised rests as well as the group spread that is now 1 1/4" to 3" & it can lead to less than ideal shot placement.

Thanks everyone...spent 3 hours at a baseball field with the kids, smoke a brisket and hung with the family. The sheds were calling but did the good fatherly thing! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's lucky ?! Hate to have bad luck

Yeah, I gave up that stuff after my last fight. She kicked the living CRAP out of me !! And all just because I insulted her Barbie Doll...
