the long shot
I am an avid hunter, gun collector, and former fisherman. I compete in 200 yd Varmint target matches which has broadened my knowledge over the years of reloading and what really is an accurate rifle. Much to the chagrin of my fellow competitors I have made a 30-06 perform to the level of a some of the wildcat rounds and other in vogue rounds at the bench. I am up for hunting anything that walks or flies. I stick to the midwest for my hunting. Broad experience to draw on... On a professional note. Degrees in Business, Agriculture and Economics. Jobs I have held or currently hold.. welder, farmer, Market Analyst, Ag Real Estate Loan Officer, Semi Maintenance Mechanic, and Large Equipment operator. I am a hard data guy, hard to sway me on an empathetic argument.

4 AnswersHunting10 years agoHave you heard or seen a politician do something stupid involving hunting or guns?
A few years ago a politician, who now has a radio show here in Iowa, felt it would be fun to canoe around central Iowa. He felt inconvenienced when he came to the fence surrounding the Army base north of Des Moines. Instead of going around, he snuck under the fence and ended up in the impact area for the M16s and M240s. He called the sheriff when the bullets started flying but was too embarrassed to reveal his location until gunfire increased. The sheriff eventually called the base and told them they had civilians in the impact area. The politician was escorted to the command office where he accused the commander of running an unsafe facility. The politician called newspaper and gave a completely different story, of course leaving out embarrassing details and it was all whitewashed except for us in the know. Any stories of politicians you know where they made butts of themselves hunting or with guns?

1 AnswerChevrolet1 decade agoAny experience with the SIG SAUER 516 AR-15 or variant?
I have always liked the piston system over the AR15 impingement system and find the idea of the SIG AR15 fascinating. Heard that the uppers swap out the same. I have never owned an AR15 but have several M1As, M1 Garands, and an M1 Carbine. Anyone got an opinion?
4 AnswersHunting1 decade agoHow much of a diff is there from London to the countryside when it comes to opinions on hunting/shooting?
I just had a Londoner in my office today and he looked at me and my coworkers as if we were crazy to hunt and shoot competitively. I have clients who are active shooters/Hunters in Ireland but I have limited experience in England. This Londoner thought all our guns were registered and tracked. LOL.
2 AnswersHunting1 decade agoWhat Pony/Horse would fit a shoe this size?
I found an old horseshoe while turning some very old sod this spring. Its so small I don't know what would wear it. The horseshoe is 3 inches wide and 4.25 inches long. I used to have a Shetland when I was growing up but this shoe is way small in comparison to what he used to wear. This place I was turning sod is 2 counties north of where I grew up.
2 AnswersAgriculture1 decade agoHow much do you think a bur on a bullet affects accuracy at 200 yds?
I bought a lot of Federal Gold Medal Match ammo in 223 and after firing 6 rounds at 200 yds performance was not that great. I accidentally brushed the bullet up to my finger as I was loading the next one and found that a divet/bur was on the bullet. Every one of the bullets was diveted in the lot I bought. I plan on returning the whole lot. So I guess one question is... Have you run into this problem before? How much do you think it changed my groups at 200 yards?

I was reading in Handguns Magazine that police departments are dropping the .40 and going to the .45 because the recoil is manageable and the stopping power is better. Any thoughts?
8 AnswersHunting1 decade agoHas anyone had any experience with 284 winchester?
I have been researching different rounds to build a gun around and I was reading up on the F-class 2008 National champion's gun which was a straight up 284 instead of a 6.5-284. The key factor I liked was the barrel life to accuracy of the cartridge stats. Any detractors to the 284. Looking for something with less recoil than a 30-06, 300 win mag, or 338. I am not going to build a 308.
