After the above advice, and you have a good gun match, it may just take a bucket full of ammo. You should search this sight for information on flinching, but for most beginners, just getting used to the roar and kick is the first step.

When God handed out optimism, men got in line twice

HOW OLD?

Isn't that the back door to Superman's house. (he's totally wacky!!!)

I hate having to watch animals have sex on the nature shows. It is official, there just doesn't seem to be anything you can watch on TV with your kids. Remember the old days when Marlon Perkins and Stan Brock , shot, roped, jumped out of Land Rovers and generally reeked havoc with every living thing on the Serrengetti. Now half of the show is dedicated to watching the beasts, Git-R-Done. The reptiles are pretty bad but the worst has got to be the big cats. Lions and tigers used to be symbols of strength and fierocity, now they are symbolic of a sheepherder that caught a ride into Winnemucca after six months in the Nevada desert. The bitter irony is we can sit around watch A Silver-tip Gorrilla have jack-hammer sex, but the Victoria Secret Lingerie Show was deemed too racy for T.V.. When I was 12 Years old I seen the Sport Illist. Swim suit edition. Anyone over 30 but not dead will remember Cheryl Tiegs and that fish-net bikini. It was at that moment that I knew I wanted to be a man and grab a handfull of that ! What must a prepubescent child think after an hour of Animal Planet?

But you gotta admit it does make him look cool and more mature

That gets the heart to pumping!! Kids and buzz-tails are a real concern. You never really know if you have gotten the point across until an event like this happens. My kids border on phobic, which is not good either because you have to know where the snake is, before you bolt. Sounds like you taught her well.

Boo, I know exactly what you are talking about. For a long time I was concerned that I may be blinking and I was certain that I was not seeing the sights lift even though my accuracy was improving rapidly. Then one evening as the light grew dim, my questions were answered as I could clearly see the sights lift in the muzzle blast. Now that I knew what to look for it was easier to see. Barlin

I'm sure those scientist think they are quite clever translating the coos of a baby or a speechless dog, but if you really wanted to display Sci-Fi level technology and a real service to MANkind. Create a device that translates the spoken words of a woman. Now that would be useful. After 14 years of marriage, I have learned some of the basics like ''Honey we need to talk'', means you don't get to talk. And all fat questions are answered NO and all hair questions are answered YES. But be honest, how many time did you think life was good, totally unaware that you were being tied to a post and dry wood was being piled at your feet. "Well, if I have to tell you what's wrong, well that just proves everything.'' Barlin

Shred, nice find. The guy does a good job of defining an oft sought definition. Another bull rider once said that when the gate opens the bull has thousands of options and it is impossible to anticipate, therefore it requires a disciplined mind to avoid anticipation by removing the past and future and exist in the present. He said that when it all works, his mind watches and his body rides. For those with short attention spans slide the ''clip position'' to 9 min. Barlin

That might explain our need to get squashed back in between those big, soft, warm, uh, well, uh, could you repeat the questi, oh yes, good joke very funny. Oh well carry on. Barlin

I would prefer the "Click to Enlarge" than that pissy little toggle switch for the man's techno-metaphor. Barlin

You gotta love these "Darwin Award" types for their commitment and creativity in providing entertainment for the higher species. Also they give an emphatic "YES" to the question " Can people get any more stupid?'' To clarify, that Aqua-net , cigarette lighter thing, that we ALL have tried was purely an experiment to advance our knowledge of science. Vastly different from what these morons are doing. Barlin

Steven, In Wyoming we have been facing similar assaults for 30 years. People move in with the belief that they can show you the errs of your ways and if that doesn't work, pass a law or get a lawyer. Don't get me started!!! To be successful in your defense you need to show: 1. Support- The petition. The need for this facilty. 2. Legal- Someone needs to research the real estate covenants, your history, who granted you permission to shoot, who owns the land. 3. The benefit- Youth programs. Shooting matches that may bring money into the county. The value of shooting sports in general. 4. Counter-proposal: If you do a good job of showing need and benefit you will be in a good position to negotiate a new location if it appears you are going to be unsuccessful. The outcome will rest in the hands of the county commissioners. If they are decent folks, you have a chance. Good luck. Barlin

I am not real sure about the enemy thing. If you study fig.73 , you don't have to be Bruce Lee or even Pamela Lee for that matter, to see what the ninja guy has in mind. And yet karate man with his perfectly trimmed beard and of course wearing "product" in his fabulous hair in fig. 74 seems to feign a "bitch slap" all the while leaving his peach unguarded. I don't think I want to see figs.76-103 or fig.104 where ninja guy conveniently loses karate mans number. Barlin

"At about 4 a.m. the following morning, a sensor sounded, and Hart was caught leaving the barn." When I was younger there was a catagory of girls known as "Last Call Ladies" or ''2 O'clockers''. Fortunately I was never around at 4 a.m. to find out what was starting to look SEXY. I had always heard of the reference "heifer", Heck I just thought it was meant figuratively. At the risk of offending, this reminds me of a joke. Early one morning a cowboy was combing the foothills for strays. He rode down a draw and turned a corner to find not 10 feet away a sheepherder giving it to, er, I mean making love to a sheep. The twos eyes met and the embarrassed cowboy, struggling for something to say, muttered "Nice weather". The sheepherder roared back "ITS A EWE!!!, I AIN'T NO PERVERT" Barlin

The girl is vaulted 15 feet into the air and comes down through the hoop and the guys all turn their backs on her and commence grabbin', gropin' and grindin' on EACH OTHER, while she is left holding her head. College sure has changed since I was there. Barlin

"... expose their breasts as a way of bonding with the 300-pound simian" At the risk of exposing my "Darwinian" side, I also find this to be a useful technique in initiating the bonding process. I am not a zooligist, but have to agree that using two women... Uh, I think I will just stop there. Barlin

RHINO, I will assume that this is a topic of interest for you and you haven't inadvertently licked a South American frog as your post might indicate. I share your facination with the lozenge. All I can add is "lozenge" refers more to the shape than the function. I am also ashamed to admit that I was unaware, not only that there was a "Superior Catagory" for lozenges, but a list of "Greatest Achievements In The History of Spoken Language" and that lozenge ranked near the top. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Barlin
