Thanks for the Explanations

I am sure glad you guys explained all this Distinguished stuff to me, I do appreciate it. I was wandering around thinking you had to be silver-haired, with a walking stick, derby, and cravat to be Distinguished.

Whew,

I feel better now. :roll:

Favorite Pistol

When I was younger I had an old High Standard 9-shot revolver. As it was the only handgun I owned, I became very good with it. I carried it everywhere I went (even to school - it was no big deal to have weapons in your locker back then) and always had a couple boxes of shells for it in my pockets (t...

Rossi Barrels

Anyone know a ballpark value for interchangeable Rossi barrels? I inherited 4 different barrels for the Rossi rifle (not certain if they are the child or adult size yet) from by brother-in-law's estate. The basic rifle is long gone, but I have the wooden carrying case with leather straps and the bar...

Sight Picture

I have found the easiest way to transition new shooters from 'live' targets to paper is to teach them the center hold while shooting balloons. This works for several reasons (IMHO).

Family Support

You are indeed fortunate Bullseye. My better half loves to shoot almost as much as I do. She is actually a better rifle shot than I am (probably because she has vision in both eyes still) but with point shooting pistols, she does not excel. Fortunate indeed that you can share what you love with thos...

I just read the terrible news about MarkII.org. I will sorely miss that place should it close its doors. Your excellent offer to temporarily host the members until Rook can get things straightened out is great. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I have certainly learned many things from you in t...
