    RIP Kismet, Final post 1/12/2024

    🙏 Thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of our old friend, Kismet. Here is a link to his obituary. He was a long time member. Served as a moderator for a number of years. And just a great guy. https://www.saetherfuneralservice.com/obituary/William-Cunnea

    Custom lanyard

    I wish I had seen this my friend. It seems as if I am correct, Kismet, "Bill" Is no longer with us. He adopted one of our dogs he named Maggie, or he just thought her name was Maggie LOL. It was Maddie. But, After trying to reach him to see how she was doing, and not seeing him here at all. I...

    High protein and organ failure?

    Been feeding my dogs 30-20 for many many many years. None dropped dead young from food issues. I know for fact there is or was an issue with some of those grain free gimmicks. Happened to people I know. Caused enlarged hearts. Caught early, switch diet, and went back to normal. Not caught early...

    Gun dog hearing loss prevention?

    Spot on. Most cases it is degenerative just like eyes. Now, guys with 3 1/2" or any shell for that matter that hunt ducks with the dog sitting right next to them with five buddies blasting away maybe. But most upland dogs are never close enough when you shoot to bother the hearing. Unless your...

    Playing with patterns

    Try some fed premium upland. Sometimes its not the chokes. I found some guns can be fussy about the shell. Just like a rifle. I had 4 629 black berettas I got rid of because they only liked some whimpy loads. and few of those.

    Land prices.

    Not just a hundred acres. not worth it. Did the math. 3 get chump change when split. And my brother and sister wont do anything. So eventually, bye bye. Cash out on the land prices.

    Stock Duplicator???

    Sorry I missed this. Long over due reply. Yes it was cast for right hand. Hence the odd angle in the photo. Exaggerated by the amount of wood I still needed to sand. I should have posted more pics during the process. Its not that bad. I had help from a good friend who does it, on the phone...

    F.A.I.R. Iside Prestige in 12 gauge....what would you do?

    Can be done for about a grand, and your own patience. Before with factory, and after with my hand picked Turkish Walnut.

    F.A.I.R. Iside Prestige in 12 gauge....what would you do?

    The price if decent because the wood is bla. But you can do an upgrade like I did. And the rest is the same as any Rizini or Caesar G. Same families and made on the same street pretty much.

    F.A.I.R. Iside Prestige in 12 gauge....what would you do?

    I have been shooting the hell out of FAIR guns for many years. All I shoot for field trials and hunting for a long time. They pattern well with a wide range of ammo. Great quality. I spent the cash on 5 new berretta 692 blacks, because the fit was there. But they suck. Only like Whimpey loads...

    Reeds Canary Grass to Switchgrass Project

    Great approach, you will love it. Switch loves the moist soil and grows to a jungle. Takes over very well.(y)
