Recurve Shooting
Right now fighting two major battles. Recurve aversion syndrome, and battle of the mid-section bulge. So far winning both with groups and belly both shrinking. Groups by half, and belly by 23# with 7 weeks to go. The sight of another salad is revolting about now... -
Recurve Shooting
Yes but my answer is embarrassing, I put a pin sight on it. My instinctive shooting has always been extremely good, at extremely short range (carp shooting @<5 yards). I have never been worth a shit at instinctive shooting, and at my age this is highly unlikely to change. All I have ever... -
Recurve Shooting
Trying to find the nuts to take my T/D recurve for goats this year... Groups are getting much better but then I grab the compound and triple the distance and shoot groups 1/3 the size... gotta quit doing that, it is very destructive behaviour. But in all likely hood it will be my last chance... -
Llama Life
Damn I thought this thread might be about llamas... I took a few of mine on a purty trip last few days. Not nearly as much fun as fighting on a keyboard with people you don't know, never will likely know, and would try to get away from if you did know...- squirrel

Who And What Was George Custer?
Excellent I have read some references to those fights in other books, but never dug further into it. I think there is a poem about saving the last bullet that sprung from the theater.- squirrel

Who And What Was George Custer?
Probably just the strong coffee so don't be too offended Shrapnel... but you say you wouldn't have ridden with Custer, who had a medium size HERD of horses killed from underneath him as he rode them in battle... and I cant help but laugh at your "twisted an ankle on a paved wheel chair path"...- squirrel

Who And What Was George Custer?
Ahh yes... nothing like a little religious fervour to result in total death and destruction!! Any particular book Harley? I'm building fence and audio books make the day more educational, after coffee and huntalk of course...- squirrel

Who And What Was George Custer?
Funny you bring that up... Mcclellan was Custer, but with no testicles. All the same flaws though. Guess that's why he got to be an "old soldier".- squirrel

Who And What Was George Custer?
People are fascinated by total loss, especially when the "side' wins overall. Americans certainly are with the Alamo and Little Bighorn. Both are studied and second guessed endlessly. The modern "study" seems weird to me, looking for evil in dead men, and voicing disapproval of same, as if it...- squirrel

Who And What Was George Custer?
Youth, wild times, a flamboyant style, a thirst for personal glory and sometimes material gain (spoils of war), incredible luck. A truly amazing man. His brash style tempered with good battlefield judgement worked for him... right up until it didn't! There are bold soldiers and old soldiers...- squirrel

Who And What Was George Custer?
I would put it "smokey and the bandit" terms. What do you do Mr "bandit"?? Mostly what I do best, show off. His bravery is indisputable, his reasons for it very complex, like most humans. A product of an amazing time, a vessel of dramatic contradictions. If you look for something you want...- squirrel

Who And What Was George Custer?
Pretty sure he was a fella that REALLY wanted to be famous... and he succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. But as so often in life there was just a bit of a plot twist.- squirrel

CO Unit 18
Just keep in mind that a lot of timber still has canopy needles but was severely scorched and these will pretty much all die in my experience. Lots of the eastern portion is nothing but vertical black sticks without even any burnt horizontal limbs. This was during the 70 mph wind days really... -

Co Gun bear with archery elk allowed?
Yet many are written with the exact intent of forming "gray" areas that can always allow a ticket to be written. Muley stalker says he has never gotten a ticket cause he follows the rules... He has just never run into the wrong warden. -

Since I got a goat tag and now don't want a tag Im sure I will draw. Too bad you have to die to get a refund in WY. -
Llama ranching and packing
Yes those buckets would make for really good protection from hitting trees on trailside. I use small stout boxes from the meat section of a grocery store for protection of eggs and bread /potato chip loads. The buckets would be even more smash-proof but not as easy to reduce when no longer...- squirrel

Llama ranching and packing
Thanks for the follow up info many ways to skin a cat and that is a first look at that type for me. Were the buckets pick-ups or came with the panniers and made to fit?- squirrel

Hands free cliff climbing rigs?
I've taken some pretty good falls in there when I was young and way more bouncy, and yes it is very surprising how little concern it is. But after the personal injury assessment it becomes very important how many straight arrows you have left when the nearest replacement is 5+ days of hard... -
Hands free cliff climbing rigs?
Well mountain goat tag #6 showed top in the mail so it's official now. Top priority is lard reduction but I also need a better way to have my hands free while scaling cliffs to get close. To say the days of one handed pull-ups is over for me would be a gross understatement. (even a two handed...
