thanks Jack. I come an go, should hang out abit. still .......... just amazing!

Looking at pictures like that reminds me that these things are not toys and they will jump up and bite you the moment your not paying attention. Also I'm not sure what everyone elses preferences are but I'm glad that this forum is not like the (ar15) fourm. Some of the post on that page alone is not what I'm looking for in intelligent conversation but to each his own; thats just my oppinion. Be careful out there.

Yikes, I was eating.... not anymore! I wonder how long it takes to burn through the top straps if it does that to a persons thumb...

2 words---shooting gloves

I lost the tip of my finger working with my Pa on a tractor one day. I wear gloves all the time now. If I'd of had gloves on, I wouldn't have lost the tip.

If I'm in the garage, 95% of the time gloves are on.

For that matter, safety equipment of all kinds when we shoot, gloves, glasses, and hearing protection.
