    Annual Offseason Thread of Firearms

    My opinion, using the .223 for deer is for experts. Like the 28 ga for doves. Yes, an expert may enjoy it. But there is little margin for error. I believe the .223 is likely to be too small for a clean kill for an 8 year old. .243 is widely available (unlike grendel and Wylde), low recoil, but...

    For a book length argument, read "The G Factor" by Arthur Jensen. He spoke at the Union Bldg about 1971. Great speech!

    Annual Offseason Thread of Firearms

    My carry is a M&P compact. My local gunsmith says that he has NEVER seen one for repair. I suggested the SIG because it seems to be widely available and well thought of.

    I got a 380 EZ for my wife. It's larger than my M&P compact, shooting a smaller cartridge. But she can work it. For you, I'd look at the SIG 365 if I was starting from scratch. I like modifying, I put night sights and an after market trigger on mine. I can put 7 into a dinner plate at 25 yards.

    My days of roaming the mountains searching for muleys or elk are over. I wouldn't use a cartridge that I couldn't buy spares for at WalMart. Just in case the airline lost my ammo.

    I quit shotgunning after I lost the vision in my left eye. Still shooting rifles. Drew a TPWD hunt at Government Canyon this fall, shot a buck and a doe. 2 shots to check zero, 2 shots to kill 2 deer. Now Schuetzen season begins, I'll go through a lot of Eley Tenex. I may go through a brick.

    OT: Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland

    Late 70s. I was an anesthesia resident at Parkland. We had a young professor from Belfast. She said that even at the height of "the troubles" Dallas had more trauma.

    OT: Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland

    My second child was premature and colicky. Cried every night. Then the pediatrician said give her just a drop of whisky. She slept thru the night. Not me, I was checking her all night to be sure that she was breathing.

    Any optometrist/ophthalmologist on the board?

    Huge difference between optometry and opthalmology. Opthalmologists don't just go to medical school. Most of the residents were Alpha Omega Alpha. Like Phi Beta Kappa for M.D.s. Top 10 % of the class. Example: In North Texas, my local opthalmologist wouldn't refract children. He wanted to leave...

    OT: The American Buffalo by Ken Burns

    The 49ers went west during a global cholera epidemic. It's water borne. There were so many that the Comanche couldn't stop them. Single biggest death toll.

    What could you BUY with Jimbo's $77 million ????

    When I was a boy, O.L. Nelms would buy land near Dallas. When the city moved out to him, he would park a trailer on the shoulder: Thanks to all y'all for helping O.L. Nelms make another million!

    Do you remember when the Williams sisters were ascendant and Serena bragged that they could defeat any man not in the top 200? #200+ said, "I can win that match." And he did, waxed Serena in 2 easy sets.
