If you have a rifle that will fit him, perhaps it’s not too late to develope a low recoil load that will work for him. At reduced velocities, most any typical cup and core bullet will work well. The negative is, his range will be somewhat limited by the reduced velocity and “rainbow”...

The way things are going 🤬.....just to go hunting could be considered a sucess! memtb

Congrats and Good Luck! From that camera angle, it appears to be a pretty good bull.....where are ya hunting? memtb

Not certain about hoarders, but, intellegent “preppers” do not have to compete with the “unwashed masses” during a shortage....they, over years, accumulated the items needed to sustain themselves during the majority of crisises or shortages. I would suggest that anyone under the age of 25 or...

Congratulations to the both of you! 👍 Words cannot express the magnitude of envy (yes a sin) I’m overwhelmed with. I guess that envy can be added to the list of all the reasons I’ll go to hell! memtb

Sadly....this applies to most every aspect of many people’s lives! How many had more than a few days worth of TP when the covid scare hit us? I guess it’s a form of Darwinism! 😢 memtb

My wife felt exactly as you.....until she witnessed the results of someone else’s head-shot gone bad. Seeing an animal too weak to move from days without food or water due to lower jaw damaged.....ended her head shooting days. The target is pretty small, and just a minor movement by the animal...

Sorry to hear of the fires.....may you and your son (as well as everyone else) be spared from disaster! memtb

I also, not really by choice, wear a very heavy, retired, pair of work boots. Wearing them all day, putting in quite a few miles......should help prepare me for that lightweight pair of hunting boots! 😉. memtb

You are fortunate......glad you weren’t seriously hurt. Shooting glasses/eye protection......priceless! Many years ago I had a somewhat similar situation with the first round out of 20 freshly hand loaded .223 rounds......a load proven for several years. The rifle was not severely damaged...

If we get through this most recent shortage, anyone “not” prepaired for the next long term shortage or worse yet - ammo banning......had better spend some money and purchase your expected lifetime needs. It’s would have been far less expensive and less stressful had everyone been preparing...

Today’s workout.....removing about 20 T-posts, handling some building materials, a couple hours with a string trimmer and some quality time with a little trim-mower while the wife mows the lawn ! 🤣 memtb

Bonecollector 👍! I’m envious. Many years ago, I used to run, but old age, too many other activities, tendentious in a knee, a couple of back surgeries, and pure laziness .....prevents me from running! I used to keep a calendar at my door.....I’d log every day’s run distance and the run time...

Our early summer was quite hot and dry, but, of late.....much more like September than August! And I ain’t complain’n! 😉 memtb

Enjoying a most wonderful event......rain! This is nothing to many folks....but, a WOW moment for us. We’ve received just over an inch of rain in the past 30 or so hours, and morning lows in the low 50’s with upper 40’s for tomorrow morning! Our anual average precipitation is under 6”, so 1”...

Except for pretty bad tendentious in a knee......in pretty good shape for the shape I’m in. Too much work, some pretty physical, around the place to maintain an exercise regiment. Though occasionally after coming into the house while watching TV, I’ll dry fire my XFrame S&W (with dot sight)...

If bringing home meat is the goal, as it should be, avoid soild bone contact. The use mono bullets will minimize meat destruction, unless the aforementioned bone is hit, and kill them just as dead! memtb

I too, have noticed very little activity. I hope that other folks are having more fun than me! memtb

Many years ago, an inverted hollow-base wadcutter was one of the defense bullets of choice in Chief Special type handguns! memtb

Whoops! :) memtb
