    Who cares... ;)



    I would make yourself a 12 pack in a plethora of calibers.. Large mag well, the possibilities are endless! (sort of).:yes: Definitely most definitely highly recommend these to anyone. Get em while they're not hot!



    For me, my (somewhat lofty) goal this year is to get me that GE Minigun.. Daddy needs his minigun! You could mow down a 4 foot wide oak in minutes from 100yds away, no chainsaw can do that...

    They're not that bad. I've put 300 rounds of 308 down range in one afternoon. 40 rounds of 338 Lapua is a little rough.

    I want to finish all my ar 15 builds and get optics on them. Maybe a G23 or FN 9mm as well. I hope to get a trust set up and a 30 caliber can bought before July 13th.

    Get my nra certification for handgun instruction so I can help others with their goals.

    Build a 9mm ar

    Stockpile reloading components before the election.

    Get into the nfa game (suppressor)


    For those wanting to build an evil black rifle, I suggest getting on it. The closer to November, the harder parts and stuff will be to find!

    Other than shooting just about every weekend I have no plans on taking a training course. My other plans are as follows in order of importance:

    1) Find a youth stock for my 10/22 for my daughter. Right now she only likes shooting hand guns because all of my .22 rifles are too long for her.
    2) Get my wife more comfortable shooting, and push her to take her CC class. She's already begged to borrow one of my hand guns when she had to fire someone at her office that wasn't completely stable.
    3) Get the rest of the reloading supplies I need and stock up on everything before Nov. Actually, I need to buy more ammo period before the elections.
    4) Get back into deer hunting. I haven't gone in 4 years, since I bought my house and met my wife.
    5) Pick up either a SIG P938 for CC or a .357 lever action for deer hunting. Or both.

    1- Shoot the new Benelli MR1 lots. Want to see what it will do at the 250 yard mark. She has only 20 rounds through so break in is needed.
    2- Shoot the other Benelli MR1 some too! Open sights. Think I will bust a hog or two with this one on a stalk hunt.
    3- Sell stuff. NIB 7mm Model 70 Westerner gotta go. Couple Leupolds and a Nikon I don't need. They store easily though. May think twice there. A Martin compound that just hangs in the basement. As soon as I sell them, I will need to buy something quickly. Thinking about another R1 Benelli in 300wsm, if I can find one.
    4- Shoot the bow as a weekly routine. I enjoy target shooting and just have let it go due to schedule capacity. Need to force it into the weekl

    I don't think that the election will change anything. We all know what happened the last 2 times people thought that way.

    That said, I'm going to get my AR parts secured well before that, just because I want to.

    Do more shooting, stock up on ammo. And as we always are, be ready to deal with any event from extreme weather, to financial turmoil, to civil unrest. Be always ready to assist the local neighbors in such events in any ways we can.

    We aren't right on top of each other around here, so most of us get our space and help each other when needed. Most of the folks on my road have been here for many decades and woodburners. AKA... good folks!

    Well...

    1. I got a Do-all Raven auto clay thrower for Christmas, and 400 clays, so will be busting clays as much as possible. [FIL has a white flyer as well]

    2. With the second thrower in the family I decided to step up my loading capacity, so I picked up a couple MEC9000G progressive loaders one in 12ga, one in 20ga. So will be loading a lot of shells.

    3. Gotta pick up an auto 20 gauge for Lovely Wife, so she leaves my 870 alone.

    4. Went on a quick hog hunt earlier this month, did see a single hog, but I'm hooked. Will be up grading a Browning BAR in 270 Win. With new boyds thumbhole furniture, cerakote, and maybe a new scope. Have a second hunt in plan for September!

    5. Deer camp guys want to do a Prarie dog hunt this summer, so I'm gonna put together a Remington 700SPS varmint in 204 ruger.

    6. I've got a Ruger American 17HMR at the local gun shop begging to come home with me.

    7. Get comfortable with my Ruger Blackhawk 41 mag at 50+ yards.... gotta bag a deer with it this year!

    8. Last but most importantly... build a shooting range here at the house, bog ol berm and a 16x24x8 shooting house. Got the trusses siting here in the shed, just need weather to cooperate... and get the honey do list done!

    I need to get busy!

    That's the same thrower that I have. Had to make some adjustments to keep it from breaking some brads of clays, but it works great now.
