Found this video to share. The shooting practice is really coming along great with only a few short weeks left before the real fun begins. When I first purchased my thrower a case of 135 clays would last one case of shells. Lots of exercise picking up unbroken clays. Now I am at almost two cases...

Henry, You have just as much experience as I do so please don't think that I am criticizing your work. It's hard to tell from your photos but you may want to check your fillet size; they look a bit small on your 90 deg joints. RM

Will, Great material to be sure and super long lasting. Not sure what model but still have my pair that I wore on my sheep hunt. My preference for BDU's is because I like a loose fit in the legs. Most of the fancy pants like Sitka and Kuiu are just too clingy for my comfort. Besides, I'm not...

Dani, Yes, I would love to go on a combo moose/ brown bear hunt. The trouble is guided hunts have gotten so damn expensive. Being retired I can't justify the expense. Fortunately bird hunting largest expense is the price of a good dog and is just as rewarding. What kind of hunting are you...

Military surplus khaki pants are better than $200 Kuiu IMHO. RM

Since this is somewhat anonymous I'll add this story. Several years ago while hunting in ND for pheasant, my brother brought his young teenage son. Like many have said, when nature calls there is little time for debate. Unfortunately for my nephew, a fully furnished bathroom was his only life...

Ron, I've been to Alaska five times for big game, but never for waterfowl. I may have to rectify that. RM

Noah, Question for you and others acquainted with the OMV. You state that it isn't designed for reloading. I'm guessing that is because it has additional crimp stations for new hulls. Wouldn't it be possible to skip those additional crimp stations when working with reloads, since it appears to...

Noah, Thanks for the tip on MEC shotshell reloaders. RM

That's some funny stuff. No personal stories but my father-in-law once went to the vet and forgot to bring his dog. RM

Depends if it's an election year. I purchased mine specifically to smooth out shooting costs. When scared people hoard shells, it gets mighty expensive to shoot even 12 gauge trap loads. RM

Just want to second Henry's idea for a reloading thread. Great idea! RM

MEC Sizemaster was my loader of choice because of the collet sizer. This was dictated by my decision to purchase Remington Gun Club shells, which contain a steel head, for reloading. RM

Early model Browning BPS with magazine cutoff. Just don't ever disassemble! RM

True that Henry. I've never kept score or shot competition. My only motivation is to become the best I can be with my own God given talents. Hopefully this will translate to becoming a better hunter. RM

Thanks to your advice Henry, I really did have a good shoot over the weekend. You would think that with such margin of error, hitting anything with a shotgun would be a cakewalk. A quote by an unknown source goes something like this, "The average shooter will practice until they can hit their...

As an aside, I was wrong about George Digweed. For many years I was under the impression that he was a sustained lead shooter. Below is an article in his own words where he sets it straight. Turns out that he is a swing through shooter on over 90% of his shots. RM...

Over the long weekend my fob for my wireless remote delay battery died. Fortunately I still had my foot petal release with 100 ft cord. Not surprisingly I found myself behind all my targets trying to catch up. Thought it would be an excellent time to really learn the Swing Through method...

I also try to see the best in people but did you read the complete article? RM
