I have virtually NO experience with horses - only ridden them a very few times. The question I have is simply one of curiosity. Why does everybody mount the horse from its left side rather than its right side? Cause that's how young cowboys are trained to do it - having grown up as a cowboy - that'...

OJ

A horse will kill you any Time you give it a chance. They are prey animals and are wired so. I dunno - my experience tells me they're more like women - some are easier to get along with than others - AND - some are more way more dangerous than others - striking when you least expect it - I learned ...

Trim tabs are only used for reducing the amount of pilot control input needed for whatever flight conditions used and I don't see how that would be a factor here No, I'm sorry but that is not correct unless I am misunderstanding what you mean to say. A trim tab is used to balance the aerodynamic fo...

Speaking as a long time commercial pilot and FAA medical examiner - my evaluations always included some estimate of the applicant's mental health and I don't think I was unique there - I think the extensive modifications to the plane had more to do with the causes of the accident - planes are requir...

Interesting thread - I bought my Buffalo Bill Commemorative Winchester 94 in 1968 for $90 - my theory was that commemorative came in pairs - my friend dealer sold the 20" barrel to a customer who turned the 26" barrel I got down and dealer made his profit on the 20" rifle. http://i2.p...

Makes me feel grateful - our range officers are great guys but, they don't tolerate any infractions of rules of gun safety and, if the offender doesn't comply, is immediately ejected from the range with the invitation to not return (split infinitive intentional).

Well, I sure appreciate your kind words about my history stories - and don't want to overdo it - but, I do have this one more my reminiscing revived. Growing up, I had no older brother to guide me but, did have three cousins (actually mother's cousins) who were the epitome of real cowboys - and ever...

OJ, your posts sure are interesting. :D Thanks - that's what I aim for - interesting and never offensive - being 85 now, I sure can talk like lots of old guys but don't want to be boring.

Well, I've resisted this as long as I can - for no good reason, really - Not exactly a handgun, but about 30 years ago, I watched an Uncle take a winchester Semi Auto .22lr rifle and kill 14 dogs out of a pack which were running and attacking his cattle. 14 shots, 14 head shot dogs. He reloaded, it ...

FUNNY HOW THE JENNINGS 22 WILL NOT MISS A TINCAN AT 25 YARDS. I can sure understand that - a couple of years ago, the guy next to me on the range had one of those cute little Jennings 22 autos. He never scored a miss the half hour or so that we were there. When I left, he was muttering something li...

Lots of rattlesnake stories - they really aren't very social minded and try to escape if they can - in my experience, anyway.

Snake stories come up a lot this time of year - many with panic which can cause over treatment.

You might actually need a larger aperture, so it is like a 'ghost ring, BUT need more than the thin band of material left when you remove the aperture. If you can get hold of, or make, a very large-holed aperture, so you have more black around it and a big center, you'll probably see that 'lighter ...
