Taking TR FOXs post a little further:

What do you do to encourage and promote gun sports other than own guns, Belong to a Gun rights organization, and set around talking about guns?

Are you a member of a gun club?

Do you take people to your club and introduce them to gun sports?

Do you take part in the gun (safety) (competition) (instructional) part of gun sports?

Do you work with youth Groups IE: FFA and 4H?

Just what do the different people here on GB do to help the Future of the sport??

    You are driving down the highway and see a pickup truck ahead of you. The license plate says "HAUNT U" and piled in the back of the truck under a tarp are 20 dead bodies. What do you do?
    FYI - This is based on a true story.

    On my first give away rugerguy66, of which is the winner has not responded to me yet. I gave him 30 days to claim his prize. But now its becoming an inconvience to me to watch for his reply. I e-mailed him/her, they are the winners. You can get online across America at any Motel 8 to find out.

    Well leave the light on for you.

    I thought, I had enough rules laid out in order to enter, but apparenty not. I also noticed he has only entered into giveaways lately with no communication with others. (Greedy is he?)

    He has 30 days to claim his prize winning knife. But at this point at my cost of time and money waiting patiently, what do you do?

    Will I ever have another giveaway again? I don't know. I just want to ship this knife out, NOW!!! At my expense, and put it behind me.

    I should of said don't apply if your a dead beat with piercing and tattos also.

    I'm ready to back out of my word, for one who only enters into the free poop.

    I want to re post it (same giveaway) for my own sake. Its to much work for some fart to blow it off like that.

    I'm to impatient to wait 30 days to ship out something they should of claimed by now. I only said give me the extra time to draw a winner, and to ship at my convience when I can do so. Now it bites me in the *. I have to wait for his/her convience to ship.

    Well anyways there might be a NIB Kershaw 1098AK up for grabs again if this one covered in tatoos and lazy pierced up body doesn't decide to respond. (TO A FREEBEEEEE).

    There is still 3 weeks left to ship so the way I see it now if it takes a year to get there then so be it. The latest shipping date is coming up.

    I'm thinking I won't respond after a week its to late I already gave it away. I built in extra time for me to give it away at my expense.....Not for the winner to take the time to claim.

    Buy the medium-cheap, or cheapest item at the grocery store?

    Or do you spend the extra buck to get name-brand?

    Me? I dont really care, if its cheaper Ill take it. Most of it comes from the same factory anyways. Some stuff we wont buy off-brand, taste is weird

    (I have the answer)

    I mostly buy generic products except Pace hot picante sauce and Mission tortilla chips. Most of the other stuff is just as good. There is no substitute for Pace or Mission.

    It all depends, who made it, how much money I want to spend and how much money is in my pocket at the time and how cheap I am at the time.

    My wife will occasionally experiment with store brands, lower cost products, etc; but as a rule we will continue to buy items that have a proven track record for quality and good taste over the long haul and not let cost be the driving factor.

    If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!

    I like to go straight to the back of the store and rummage through the 50% off rack full of bread and pastries.

    After I cull the molded stuff out there will be atleast half of it still edible. I save a lot of money that way.

    meijer brand generics usually taste as good or better than the labled brands, walmarts generics sometimes will fill the spot, savalot and other discount grocery stores their generics usually taste like sugar and food coloring!


    Malt-o-meal off brand cereals are just as good as the name brands, even their froot loops ;) and I love froot loops

    Since I really watch what I eat, I go for the good stuff only. Even the store I shop at is a little more expensive than the rest.

    But for a couple of thing I go to the cheaper store cause what they sell is a better Product to me. A certain cut of Pork shoulder really cheap but really GOOD.

    Even Walmart has some stuff I like.

    I hit a couple of store while shopping for the week. But its not for Bargains, its to get what I like.

    I 'do' what I have always done - although once a kid, I'm a grownup now and
    my toys, playmates and cuisine are all a bit more extensive/expensive.

    I like (most) Kroger brand items. When I find something I like I'll buy it exclusively. It's about 50/50 generic/name-brand.
