Here again.. that is you.. you are not the whole... you not understanding something has nothing to do with it's importance to other law abiding gun owners... your personal comprehension, experience and positions say less about a pro gun stance than the pro-belo stance. If society can't make it's own decisions, then who do you propose should make them? The Governor? The President? Legislative officials?? This is where your claim to be pro gun gets warped...you actually don't believe the people can or should have control over themselves when it comes to their 2nd amendment rights... I really want to hear who you think is the brilliant mind that should be in charge of making all the rules for society.. other than society itself? and why society, aka "the people", or in this case, the legal gun owners, are unable to decide what's best for their own freedom and safety... You see, those so called pro gun... gun owners that couldn't get off there lazy asses and vote last November... probably would rather have someone else like government deciding their fate as well...

I shoot a heavy spined cedar arrow with 125 grain 2 blade Zwicki broadheads... but I shoot 60 lbs.

I think that most guys get a bit over board with the complexity of traditional archery... just pick up any weight bow that's comfortable that you can draw to 28 inches... get some arrows that match closely to the weight you're shooting... then a tab or glove... whichever you prefer to protect your fingers... adjust brace height and nock placement based on some test arrows... then shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.. start at 10 yards until you can consistently shoot a good group, then move out little by little to 20 yards... the time to tweek things is after you have become comfortable with just learning the art of instinctive shooting... trad archery, like anything, can get as technical as you want it to get... have fun first, make sure it's something you're going to enjoy... delving in to all the intricate stuff will be much easier the more you enjoy it... there plenty of time later to get deep into it.

Aside from VJP... Not speaking for him... just offering up my respectful disagreement with your statements...Yes there is a need... but the bill doesn't give you the need... you already have that... the bill gives you the right which allows you to meet that need... the bill is not issuing you a need the real need is freedom... the amendments are the rights given to maintain that need... so technically it is a Bill of RIGHTS... issued to protect a need...Freedom... which is already ours and we are trying to protect.. just my thought

I don't think it's always the actual opinion... more so the lame defense of that opinion in some instances

To be fair... the "necessary" refers to the Militia not the arms... The Militia is what is necessary.. leading to.. THE RIGHT to keep and bear arms by the people. You are correct in that it is in the Amendment.

Why is it when ever we're discussing a topic about a law and opinions about that law.. somehow you always start to group everyone else in with "what you would do" and start speaking for everyone else as if they can't speak for themselves and are exactly like you. I don't care how safe you think you are, or how safe other states are, or how safe you think your buddies are, or any after dark deer encounter, don't care about speed limits and haven't mentioned anything about them... you have no idea how many guys will push the limit, how many are already breaking the law, how many slob hunters there are, how many of these guys would shoot a deer after hours...how any responsible hunter might be affected by a change in the law... you only know what you would do and how the law would affect you... I've already heard that... and you've heard my position as well... no argument .. just opinion... and some disagreement....the only thing you actually have told me in this is post is that responsible hunters need an extra 30 minutes each way to kill a deer... and for the record.. my OPINION is that those that like the 15, 20 and 30 minutes before and after are already using those minutes... no need to respond I'm already sure you don't like that opinion either

First you failed to mention the pro open carry rally that was going on outside the Target store led by Open Carry Texas at the time of this photo... everyone in the store knew why the guys were in the store with their weapons... the only opposition to the rally was the group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense who were not at the event... planned event.. nobody walked in unexpectedly carrying an AK47.. Target was aware of and notified of the rally... I'm surprised a gun owner would take a stance based on a photo without telling the whole story. I have no interest in owning an AR... but who are you to tell anyone what they need to protect themselves?... If you're going to argue that we all only need only 45's when an AR, or any other weapon of choice, can handle the same 98% of situations... then maybe you better bow out .. your stance is getting to sound a little pro gun control anyway.

Being out voted by the anti's is not my concern... having all our votes cancelled out because other gun owners didn't think it was important enough to vote is the real problem... flaunting my right to openly carry is a statement of protest.. the same as holding up a sign... and won't turn off the smart people who get it, only those that will never be on my side anyway. My pride tells me to stand up proud and defend my 2nd amendment right as big and loud as those standing up against it. Passivism has never worked for making a point.

The truth IS.. that one side is telling the truth and the other is not... the dilemma is which side is it??? If 10 years from now the states that have fracking haven't become ghost towns with no human or plant life left... we will have our answer.

I disagree... not about the common sense and safety part... but about bringing the shooting hours closer to darkness where the "judgment call" may have to be made more often by more hunters, with many pushing the envelope because the new hours have given them the opportunity to do so... not to mention more hunters making judgment calls means greater chance for mistakes especially the closer you get to actual darkness... most of the guys on here have said it themselves.. there is usually plenty of light left at sunrise and sunset... that can not be said about 30 minutes before or after... seldom is there a need for a low light call at sunrise or sunset... there will always be some kind of judgment call when discharging a firearm in any light.. why add the low light factor on top of that? Remember, these aren't decisions being made to save the world... just to kill a stupid deer.

They don't have a problem with background checks as much as the information required by the person who is being checked... I have no problem with checking my background... I have a problem with having to give up anything other than my ID so they can check on me... they don't need to know what gun I'm buying or how many... they just need to give the okay or not that a gun can be sold to me...

But she should be the one to decide that and nobody else.. that would be her right.

The best part of your season was the most important part as well... keep up the good work... Merry Xmas!

LMAO!! Where the hell did that come from???

Glad my reality is not the same as yours... I have always made time to get away from my business.. life is too short my friend... gotta stop and smell the roses or smoke a good cigar with a Manhatten.. Some of my best decisions and ideas have been made sittin' around thinkin' about nothin'.

Curious why we haven't heard any horror stories coming out of the Dakota's with all the fracking going on... I think the story will be told in the areas that now have fracking... time will tell of the effect, if any, it has on the water sources... but like Doc says.. Who do you believe?

What you call extreme may not be extreme to someone else... when we're talking about the 2nd Amendment we're talking about everyone's right to keep and bear arms... not just yours and mine... I don't see anybody imposing their will on me and trying to jamb a 30 round clip down my throat.. I have no use for one, but maybe someone else does... and frankly, it is a weak man that allows any other man to impose their will on him... and you ARE advocating taking away rights when you side with only points of gun ownership and carry laws that YOU think are appropriate and disregard others. Personally I like the stereotype of a gun owner... mainly because I couldn't care less about turning anyone off... sick of the, "carefully what you say and do" ...you don't want to piss off the people that don't like you much anyways BS. Not sure why guys like you buy into that politically correct crap... look it even has you calling fellow gun owners.. "gun nuts"... because they have a different view of the 2nd amendment than you and your "not anti-gun, gun owner"

No I meant the part about letting what someone posts bother you so much...

I think I am a bit more curious as to why this has become such a big issue for you... you're beating it to death... it is what it is and isn't going to change any time soon... accept it and learn how to live with it... you'll sleep much better.

I don't do hypotheticals... they are like Big Foot... they aren't real... and a waste of time

Same here Larry... never had an issue.

Good point

LOL... just an observation.. nothing personal. Quit scaring the women and newbies!
