I've a copy of the US Forces Europe Guide to Hunting and Fishing, and everything Mark's posted is spot on. I have also received invitations from several friends in Germany who've when I asked about licensing, etc. just replied, "... don't worry about the formalities...". One thing for...

Backing up what BillS said the Ambrust study was published in the Double Gun Journal, I believe. The most pertinent information was pressure transient data comparing smokeless shells (I believe Blue Dot) vs. black powder. Pressure data was collected at the chamber, down stream (around ones...

I agree with Lee. Clinton inherited the benefits of the Regan era. What I (and many other tax paying citizens) got from Clinton was laid off with the defense cuts. I don't expect much else from Hilary. The military will be neutered, and the guys in the mid-east will be abandoned for...

Hey Bill, I see that Nick made it off to BA OK. I still have that 16ga, 0-frame if you're interested. I am itching for a 20ga/391 to better suit my 3-shot fix. Maybe we can talk if you make it to Carlisle for the VJP. Also, back to topic, here is a link that I found on the Parker...

Sound advice. Too many dog owners who THINK that they know dogs and how to handle them are playing with dynamite when they look for a dog to "protect" the family. Many dogs that appear protective are fear biters, mentally unstable, or have unknowingly assumed a higher position in the pecking...

I agree. There was an interesting post on another forum about MD (which currently has no minimum age) recently proposing to make it 12yo. Some of the discussion is that this is a hunting prohibition, and this has raised some hackles. In NC minors are supposed to be accompanied by an...

Dani, It is very commendable to stick it out with your pup. When the light bulb comes on and he finally comes around to associate gunfire with something pleasureable you both will be enriched by the experience. I don't know if anyone has suggested but you might check out...

To all, Thanks for so many responses, so quick. One more: How soon after I bond this together will it be safe to hunt? Best regards, Bob

I have been finishing up a working decoy/urn. I sealed the inside cavity and bottom board with RAKA about a 10 days ago. It has been at room temp. Until just today, it has still felt a little tacky. Is it ready for me to make the final assembly (bottom board to the body)? Also, there...

I am using RAKA to seal a hollow wooden decoy that I am using for an urn. I have 3 brads that I am using for alignment, and I don't want to fill the holes w/ epoxy before I perform the final assembly, and I don't want to epoxy the brads in yet. Thanks in advance, Bob

I don't know about GWPs for ducks, but I have some first-hand experience hunting Drahthaars for ducks. Drahthaars will break ice! All three of my dogs would break ice and just swim around, even before I started using a neoprene vest. Now, I use neoprene because there is enough research to...

Eric, Based on your 'new' information, my opinion wouldn't change. IMHO fit is so important to success that I couldn't ever sacrifice it. I have for years coveted an O/U, but after having experienced the instant improvement in shooting that my personal AL390 gave me, I'll forego a 20ga O/U...

Eric, My choice when buying a first shotgun for my oldest son was Beretta 391. I chose it because I believe in fit, and since he was right-handed/left-eye dominant I sought out a weapon that would allow adjustment for cast on. And, being able to adjust drop was a plus. The hidden PLUS...

I second BillS. Except, if you think his dog is handsome, it is a 'pig' compared to my recently departed female. All joking aside, most Americans couldn't spell versatile dog until it has recently become a buzz word. The Europeans invented it out of necessity, and have spent over 100 years...

I think that a lot of it comes from the world of people with "...more money than they know what to do with.." as my g-grandmother used to say. Basically, it is an offshoot from people with horses, show dogs, and such where fancy names go along with the ribbons, trophies, tax deductions, and...

Eric, It looks a lot like that, just longer bed, and as I said a 3-jaw chuck. Thanks for the link. Bob

I couldn't find a rule about SPAM, so I hope noone minds. I am cleaning out my grandparent's home and have to place an antique lathe. It is a Seneca Machine Co, Star toolmaker's lathe. Sometime in its life it was converted from pedal operation to belt from an overhead master shaft. My...

I wish I had a photo of the doghouse my grandfather made for his dogs. It had a 6'x12' main room and cedar stained shingles to match their home. It also had a scaled screened porch with hinged windows to seal out drafts in the winter. There was an attached run 20' x 30' with a tree for...
