Also, I can pick up targets depicting humans or former-human zombies for anyone in Pennsylvania, because you might not have them available to you in the future...LOL
How About Some Turkey Targets For Self-Defense Training?
[I]A Pennsylvania lawmaker is seeking to ban human-shaped silhouette targets from all civilian shooting ranges in the state because he thinks they encourage violence against actual humans.
Democratic state representative Thaddeus Kirkland issued a memorandum last week announcing that he would introduce the legislation, according to local news source LancasterOnline.
Kirkland said that this kind of target makes people want to be violent against others.
...Apparently believing the government has the right to tell people what they are and are not allowed to print out and place on their own property, Kirkland said the ranges would be allowed to use animal targets.
“Instead, silhouette targets could include, but are not limited to the following: white-tailed deer, black bear, wild turkey, and elk.”
“Not limited to,” because, you know, gotta let people have their freedom!...

Always nice to know that if the time ever comes you would need to defend yourself, you have trained on a turkey target. Nice.

Okay, I just got home. I spent a good 5 hours walking around spreading joy and cheer but spent hardly any money. I was looking for ammo, scope covers, magazines, a short list of handguns, a mid-range red dot scope for a turkey gun, and any cool and/or pretty riffles that caught my eye. Oh, and booth babes.
So here's the report:
First, the booth babes: Slim pickins, but some of them got prettier at closing time. Chicks wandering in the aisles? A little better, but not as good-looking nor as numerous as at the deer shows. You go to the Dixie Deer Classic in Raleigh or the Palmetto Sportsmen’s Classic in Columbia and you’ll spend most of the day wondering where all these honeys were when you weren’t too much of a hunting nut to pay attention to them. Oh, well. There was one redhead from down at the beach who looked like it might be worth waking up in the morning in a bathtub full of ice and missing a kidney. I hope she got her hand stamped for tomorrow, because I sure did, just because you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, and my game is like moonshine: it’s better the second day.
Second, let’s get this out of the way: Lots of .40 S&W but very little .22 LR. I bought 5 boxes of CCI MiniMag HP’s today, for $10/100, and might go back tomorrow for more. One of my favorites-- .257 Roberts-- was non-existent, except for two boxes of Remington Core-Lokt at $40 a box. No thanks. An old geezer happened to overhear me asking for some at a booth that organized their ammo the way a four-year old or an Obama staffer would (out of order, and with caliber and load information facing away from the shopper) and took me all the way across the hall to show me a box of what turned out to be Western 117 gr. Soft Points with Lubaloy bullets and “smokeless powder.” I shit you not. Three fired cases and two missing. I gave him $5 for it and he wanted to give me change. He said that actually he was just gonna give them to me gratis, but I felt like if I went for that I woulda been cheating. I’m mean, I’m a tight SOB, but I have my limits. I got no history of the shells out of him, except that they came from his dad, and they appear to be factory. If I ever fire one, it might be with a left-handed volunteer using his own rifle from behind a brick wall, using a string. But they’re kinda cool to have. The box is in fair condition. If I find any history on them, I’ll let y’all know.
More to come…

Episode Two:
I’m looking for some scope covers and rifle magazines but had no luck. I was able to handle a few of the handguns on my current short list. I won’t bore people with my own personal interests, but since I don’t think it’s too easy to find a Colt Mustang XPS .380 out there, I’ll comment just on that one in case anyone cares: nice little pistol! Felt good in my mid-sized hand, would make a fine pocket pistol, etc. etc. Between it and the Sig 238, you’ll need to flip a coin, study them hard, or save up for both.
I did see one plain-jane 5.7 AR by Rock River Arms and nearly fell out in the center of the aisle. I was interested in a 5.7 rifle for a long time. I doubt ammo is any easier to get than when I gave up on it (my point of reference is “impossible”),but seeing the rifle itself was like spotting a unicorn and kinda made my day. $1200.

Going from top to bottom...
Exploding targets from Southern Thunder---Most Overlooked Show Highlight, plus an opportunity to show Elmo who's boss:

Last, Minuteman Stove..Rocket stove built from an ammo can...Some info out there but none decent enough to post. Pricey, and could use a few tweaks. Goober it if you're interested.

Yes, I just picked it up the other day. I'm gonna see if I can blow it up with my bicycle pump later tonight. That must be what the threads are for, right? LOL.
I have to cook supper first, though. I'm starving. :wave:

not only is it a decoy..but you can play basketball with it..
35.) Swamp Fox - 01/18/2015
I just blew it up...Worked fine. I need a tire nipple cap and a stake and I'm good to go. :grin:
36.) crookedeye - 01/18/2015
throw it in the shower on hot to straighten the head out..
37.) crookedeye - 01/18/2015
the turkeys will come running to it..
38.) Swamp Fox - 01/18/2015
Right...And I can almost palm it...If I run into any regulation hoops out in the woods, I'll post a video proving I can dunk....

LOL....Good to know in case she gets uppity, or I need to find her in the dark...
41.) crookedeye - 01/18/2015
she's has a lot of years on her..set her out and she does the work..set her in the confident position and you'll be fliggin arrows..
it was hard for me to let her go...

The painting on the head is very realistic, especially around the mouth, and it doesn't look like Crookedeye knocked much of it off banging around the woods with it...Also it arrived clean, but I'm taking his advice and making her take a shower. Then I'll get her in the sack with the others.

I think she has a leak on her left thigh area..

Yup, Avian X...I have some of the newer ones so I wasn't expecting this one to be so....let's just say "solid" LOL. The blow-up ones I have are very light.
I'm a little worried about this possible leak in Mary's thigh area. I'll have to see if there really is one, and then I won't be able to get my mind off how Crookedeye put it there. Stuff like that in your head could ruin a nice morning in the blind.

I couldn't believe it. They had a huge long table with tons of ammo and you couldn't find a freakin thing. The girl that was running it looked like she could cut back on the donuts a little and get more rest at night. She was half-asleep at noon.
Did you see where Obama gave a speech or made a point about his dream to improve computer/internet technology the other day? I just had to laugh, and then I said what I usually say under my breath.

If the government had started regulating the internet back in the early 90's we would still be on dial-up.
Those Avians are nice decoys. They are a little big in the caboose, but some jakes are into that kinda thing. Remember the Seinfeld episode about 'ASSMAN'. LOL!

Good interview with maybe ten women TV hunters in yesterday's e-zine ^^^^^^ and the pictures weren't hard to look at, either.
Here's Day 2 of the SHOT Daily. Looks like some optics and ammo info, among other things. I won't have a chance to read it til tonight, but feel free to discuss among yourselves...

Yes, I handled an XSP at the gun show. I didn't get to examine it under a microscope but it felt good in my hand. I'm not sure the safety is as well done as it could have been, but it was zip-tied in exactly the wrong manner for me to play with it and I didn't feel like asking for it to be unshackled. I was looking at it more out of curiosity than anything else. It was a first edition and engraved as such, not that I care, I think most advertisements of that sort on a firearm are usually tacky and detract from the piece. Cosmetically, though, and with the "First Edition" engraving aside, it was a VERY good looking pistol. I think the standard- run models are the definition of plain-jane. Otherwise, fit and finish looked good.
As I walked away, I realized I had already forgotten my impression of the sights, which tells me they were nothing special, neither awful nor well-done. Then again, they could be super-duper on the first edition and it was just too late in the day for me to care, lol. I don't see anything special about the sights on regular-run models in the literature.
If I see another Mustang, I'd like to look at it more closely, but my gut tells me the Sig P238 is the better pistol in a head-to-head. The Sig was supposed to be a direct alternative to the Mustang, I believe conceived and gaining its toehold during the period when the Mustang was either lagging in production or temporarily discontinued.

[B]If anyone can find me an embeddable video of this, I'll send them some authentic NC BBQ or something out of a grab bag, their choice[/B], because I've been dying to use it somewhere in my internet travels:
On one [I]Law and Order SVU[/I] episode, Stabler is canvassing a newsstand owner about a potential witness who might have used a nearby pay phone. He's trying to get a description. The guy says the woman "had a great ass," and he noticed she was wearing thong panties under her black pants. Stabler says, "Did you get a look at her face?", and the guy says no.
Stabler says, "You mean you noticed her thong but you can't tell me what she looked like?" and the guy sticks his big ol' stogie in the corner of his fat mouth (think what a cartoon bullfrog would look like at 70) and says, "Hey, what can I tell ya? I'm an [U]ass[/U] man!...I don't apologize for it!"

Oh, and by the way, I realized my blow-up decoys I was mentioning earlier are Primos, not AVIAN X...Which explains the huge difference in weight and bulk. But I'm still hoping the current Avians are less basketball-tough and heavy than Mary. Their feeding hen and one other are on my wish list for this year.
