    Two 8# Kegs Of H414 (aka, W760) Powder

    I have two kegs of H414 for sale. One is unopened, the other has maybe 40 rounds of powder missing (I tested, didn't like results). Let's go with $300 for unopened keg, $295 for the opened keg. Local pick up preferred but will happily split the shipping (*unsure on hazmat fees) with the buyer.

    Safari in March?

    Hey All, I drew the wildcard and as life would have it, it looks like I'm getting laid off early March. Actually, knowing what I know about the company that bought us, I think I'm the lucky one. I have a few dollars saved and, well, I'll have the time to do something with it. I'm thinking...

    Getting into BowHunting

    Well, this happened over the weekend. The last time I shot a bow I was in Boy Scouts...or maybe it was Cub Scouts? 40+ years ago. My memory is punctuated mostly by a rashed left forearm. Things have changed for sure! Yes, first time ever with a modern bow...first time in over 40...

    One Picture, One Story

    (July, 2019) The lunar landscape in front of us told the story. We'd just driven the bakkie slowly, gently across a rock strewn plain for the past 90 minutes. The old Hi-Lux truly embodied the phrase "it's not the age...it's the miles". With over 650,000 km on the clock, the Hi-Lux Raider...
