60' x 120'???? You're KIDDING me.

I'd be in a mental institution if forced to live in such a spot.

WISH I was kidding! Next stop loony bin!

So there is now an inline muzzleloader in the house, I am looking at these in awwwwww, and the powder. All those years I cut a ziplock back for over my powder in bad weather and and and this stuff is pretty cool Now I want to shoot it.

Them new ones are fancy. I'd like to get one but there are quite a few I would like to have better. Almost commented on your quote a few days ago about telling someone to tell their husband to buy a gun in exchange for either eggs or chicks. What if I want both???

A young boy in school should push the rules some. There are more green smiling days than anything.

I agree and I would almost say the yellow isnt quite bad enough to justify red so maybe it should cancel out one of the reds.

wait whut!!! you do dishes? dang more men do dishes than I thought! whodathunkit

I do the dishes as well. Grew up with my mother and 3 sisters they did the cooking and I was responsible for clean up.

Yes mam and if you load the dishwasher wrong step away from the sink.

Dont get me started on the dishwasher. silverware bugs me the most. they make individual slots and I'm of the belief that the reason is to sort as you load. Also all silverware should be handle up. I had to zip tie the middle portion of our silverware tray closed because it was a tad too big and spoons would fall sideways and get stuck.

What brand? Caliber? Don't fool with loose powder; go with pyrodex pellets by Hodgekins; simpler & faster. Check out the Powerbelt bullets, too; no separate sabot...also quicker

I wish I could shoot the pellets. The percussion caps don't burn hot enough to ignite it though. I've considered changing the nipple out but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I like my .243 Savage Axis. I've heard & fired the .270....no thanks

I just bought the axis in .308 back a few months ago. Love it so far.

let me guess that is a gun and I have not seen it even though I have a 410 rifle

.410 should be a shotgun and technically not a rifle.

This remains to be seen. I would buy a target and practice a lot. The prey would be trapped and shot at close range. If I become proficient, I might attempt to shoot a treed predator on my own tree. Besides noise, I am very concerned about stray ammo in the city. I've been studying these CCI Quiet bullets and reviews seem mixed as to how quiet they are. My understanding is this: They are designed for long rifles and not recommended for auto loading firearms.My pistol uses a clip. They could be loaded into my pistol one at a time but still louder than a rifle. I guess I'm too uncomfortable with the gun in the city. I'm talking 60' x 120' lots stacked next to each other. In the country I would do it. Thanks for all the information and encouragement!

Based on that cramped of a space I'm not sure any firearm would be appropriate. No matter what you are shooting there's always the possibility of ricochet.

Whites, you're on a roll today.... Or is that a sandwich you're on?

Actually, it's the couch, but thanks, I think

I agree. My first comment about target practice refers to a crossbow. And dispatching trapped coons or possums. Still too risky?

Well what happened was...my hen ,Paisley,had 9 eggs. They all started hatching at the same time. My husband and I went to Walmart. When we got home I immediately went to check on her. The fire ants were by the hundreds!!! All over the eggs still hatching and covering the chicks that had. It was deathly hot. The ants were seeking moisture. They sting. And they inject a venom. It was just too much for these lil babies. It was a shock to their lil systems. I was so upset and devastated. Crying as I picked ants off their bodies. I was stung multiple times. But who cares?! I was trying to save them. Was able to save two. Which are thriving!!! I was determined to never let this happen again. Now,Paisley built her nest outside of the coop. On the ground. I hated this. But I figured she knew best. Well it was fine until hatch day. So when Brownie did the exact same thing....no....uh UH! I moved her and her eggs to a safe place. And Walah! Success! Thank you for your condolences. I really appreciate it.

God bless you,
Glory

how did the ants get in

Well as I said,she made her nest on the ground. Fire ants live on the ground so it wasn't hard. They can get to anything. But not my Brownie cause I raised her up

Quote: Only problem I see with using the xbow @ super short range, like from the top of a Hav-A-Hart, is burying the bolt so far into the ground that you either can't get it out or you bend it in the process. You'd also have the possibility of hitting an underground rock, breaking the bolt & ruining the tip. Those things develop a LOT of power...I shoot one.,,xbow bolts ain't cheap
