Don't ask my wife about fine sawdust and fire.

A secant ogive has a better ballistic coefficent than a tangent ogive, I study what is important.

Now if'n ya don't understand that Slim will 'splain it even if he hast to Google the answer.

Fegot to tell ya Zeke, Slim is the Google Champ.

I just remembered Slim never answered this, he got sick so he would not admit that Google could not answer a question that Delmonico could.

So why is it better to have a secant ogive on my rifle bullet than to have a tangent ogive?   I don't want to be 'cused of goin' off on a tangent with out knowin' why I shouldn't.

[Forty Rod]

Well, Zeke, I guess you ain't "new" any more.  11 days since the last post and now you're being ignored just like the rest of us.

[Old Top]

Forty,

I represent that remark.

Gee, you guys are high maintenance!

Howdy......



Good shootin......
Vern...

[Old Top]

Well pats are better then a Kabong, or a thwap.  But Annie how are you going to wear Lee Ping when you can only wear two main hand weapons?

Old Top

[Forty Rod]

The Kabong is a two-hand weapon like a rifle.  Right?  Well? 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Leigh Ping is not a main match weapon and isn't a firearm. Would you rather I carried this at my back?



Heh heh heh,

[Forty Rod]

DANG!!!


That's a nice piece.  Tell me more (and send a bigger picture.)

From a post I made on the Frontier Spot about WartHog knives a little over a year ago:

The Cold Steel Laredo Bowie:


Laredo Bowie CS-16CC
Length, Overall: 15 11/16"
Blade Length: 10.5"
Blade Material: Carbon V 
Handle Length: 5 3/16"
Handle Material: Exotic Hardwood
Weight: 17.4 oz 
Sheath Material:  Leather




She may not be the longest of the bunch, but she is both WartHog AND Styling!!

AnnieLee, grinning

And I WAS happy with my 8" bladed, stag handled Linder 440.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

She's a beauty but is HUGE. My next one is going to be a custom made knife with sheath from Nolan Sackett. It should be small enough to be a regular part of my shooting clothing.

But...

This weekend is a "going away" shoot at a club that is closing down. I think I am going to wear the kilt and the Cold Steel Bowie to it. I don't know why, but it feels fitting, somehow.

I always wear my 10" Bowie at matches.

[Delmonico]

I carry a 5" blade Delmonico Special with Red Cedar grips.  It can be stropped to shavin' sharp and will also serve as a paring knife can and has been used to feild dress and buthcher a deer or more'n likely any other critter that needs cut up to et'. 

If'n I had a digital camera I take a picture, there are about a dozen of the out there floatin' around.  Simply ain't nothin but a 2/3 scale Green River type MT. Man knife.   But it's fer more than show.
