    You need to change your profile here. I've been trying to email you through the Gunbroker forums but it keeps getting bounced back at me because your email address here is still set to that Paladin email address.

    I just wanted to say that I found your post in response to Trey's passing to be one of the most inspiring and moving I have read.

    I dont know if mag44 will be as I cannot fathom how he must feel right now, but I just wanted to tell you that your post helped ease my saddness over the loss of his son.

    Thank you very much for the post and for your service as well.

    Jut curious 'bout something. You notated in another post you enjoyed watching me "argue" with someone. Could you define "arguing" and could you point out where I was "arguing" with this fellow?

    I don't have anything to say to you--just wanted to make a post to you since you seem to be such a popular guy! You know, it's the "monkey see, monkey do" thing. (not meant to refer to the "super/snipermonkey" here)

    Today, I went to the range after school and felled a 6-inch diameter tree with two 7.62x54mm rounds from my Mosin-Nagant M44.There was no .223 anywhere nearby. Except for the brass in the trash can.Where it belongs.

    7mm,With the story Bull___ just told.It is probly going to snow here,(South East Texas).I am sure learning a lot from the young Bull.All these years, I have been using chain saws on trees,And killing critters with my .223.Just a stupid old man,I guess.

    Bullzeye -Gskyhawk asked a good question (and I'm pretty sure I know where he's going with it). It's a simple question, deserves a simple answer.

    It is not a range proper, but merely a small area in the middle of 72 acres of forest which has been cleared slightly.It belongs to my good friend Jacob.What's it to you?

    since its your good freind Jacob's land, and he doesn't mind you wasting his trees and I'm sure you have a good back stop behind that tree you where killing then absolutely nothing, but if it was a public range then it would be different wouldn't it??

    Well, the easy answer to your question is ...... it ain't nothin' to me. But why so defensive? I thought that my post was low key and polite, whereas the words "What's it to you?" are normally spoken with a bit of a challenging edge in one's voice. Oh well.I am not going to attempt to speak for another, mostly because I am not 100 percent sure that I actually know why the question of public versus private range was asked. As I said, I THINK that I know, but I have been wrong on so many counts lately that I am starting to wonder about my reasoning abilities! While I may or may not agree with you on certain subjects, I don't think that you are stupid. So, ....... care to take a stab at guessing what I presumed was the reason behind the original question being asked?EDIT -Sure, just as I was posting this! Can hardly believe that I was right for once! Like I said, my track record for completely understanding somebody else's post has been , well, not stellar lately!Oh yeah, no points for getting the answer right, now, Bullzeye, since Gskyhawk posted again![This message has been edited by .280 freak (edited 04-06-2002).]

    Sometimes threads get poofed but I think it's time for comments to get poofed!! Maybe just poof a member!! Bullzeye, where did you get all that knowledge and that attitude in such a short time? Most of your comments are inflammatory or just plain stupid!! Somewhere you should be able to find a sight that you fit into!! It isn't here!!!! Groundhog Devastation!!!!! PS The little not worth a damn 223 killed 2 groundhogs today after exiting a 14.5 inch XP-100 barrel. Hardly seems like it could have had enough power to do that!!! If I'd used FMJ's maybe I could have shot through a tree and then killed the groundhogs. Maybe I'll start doing that. Kind of like the trick shots on TV with the billiard players. Go drink some water and run a few miles to get that lard off your *!!!

    I'm certain those 2 groundhogs you shot with your .223 were very dead.You know why? It's very simple actually. It's a varmint round!And you're ready to poof my very existence because I resent people telling me what/where/when/how I ought to shoot?Come now groundhog.I apologize if my response to a veryloaded question was rather curt. Luckily, I have the opportunity to justify myself to my moral and mental superiors. Thank you ever so much, massa!Gskyhawk: I've been shooting for many years now. I follow prudent safety measures and need neither a new mother nor an angry ATF agent staring down my neck. How many AD's have you had? I havent had any. Next time, keep it to yourself.PS- You dont like my comments, groundhog? Here's one for you: "Punctuation. Dont leave home without it"[This message has been edited by Bullzeye (edited 04-06-2002).]

    bullzeye: not tring to be your mother and sure wouldn't want the job in the first place, and I really don't see where my question was loaded ! if you want to destroy property on your own land or a friends thats nobodys busness but yours, but on the other hand if you where doing this on a public range then it would be different, thats why I asked the question in the first place and waited for a answer before firing away at you. I will say one thing tho on a personal note you seem to need to chill out a little bit. I was not trying to judge you nor critisize you just asking a simple question. Because as you know there is way to much vandlism on public ranges and also shooting trees is not always a safe practice. If you are not concerned of your own safety maybe you should be concerned for others. In your origanal posting you said this was not a proper range but a small clearing in the middle of a wooded area. If you were not shooting into a back stop how could you be sure as to where your bullets were going? Like i said not trying to be judgemental just concerned with safety and moral behavior.

    I would say - neither. Those would be the targets. The backstop would be what was BEYOND the tree or the small animal.

    again i have to wonder how long it takes to train those varmints to pose in front of a BACKSTOP. i really doubt if one could see a ricochet at 200-600 yds.inquiring minds want to know.

    I've got to give credit where and when it's due. To Bullzeye.....with his tree shooting he no dought will make the militant tree-hugging Earth First idiots mad as all hell. Anybody that can get under the skin of those that have too much time on their hands can't be all bad. And Bullz....I think the .223's a little overated myself, but you didn't hear that from me.

    What's up with all the Bullzeye bashin'?No one here has ever shot a tree before?Jeez, the personal attacks are way outta' line...There's nothing wrong with thinking out of the box, true you might come up with the wrong conclusions sometimes, but sometimes you'll hit on things that most people never thought of.You'd need to change your name Bullz I think their takin' ya literally...
    Don't worry about the bullet with your name on it, worry about the fragmentation grenade addressed 'To Occupant'.

    IMHO, Regardless of the author, to state a 6" diameter tree was "felled" by two rounds of 7.62x54mm, is indeed talking Bovine Scatology. (or do they make SLAP rounds in 7.62?)

    As for the backstop behind the 2 varmints, it was a 100 ft high bank covered with kudzu. But another interesting thing was that since they were shot with varmint bullets designed for quick expansion and maximum expendature of energy very quickly neither of the bullets exited their target!! Now had I missed, the projectiles would have had about 40 feet more air time until they impacted the aforementioned bank at which time they would have dispersed their energy into dirt and probably not have had any effect on anything other than the immediate 3 to 4 inch diameter area surrounding the impact point.
