Some sort of airbus not sure. It was roomy and food was great. It did have a privacy screen that came up as well. I am at Frankfurt about to board for Windhoek. And I have a feeling it will be a step down

They did check everyone in economy for size of their luggage. Didn’t bother with business or first class carry ons. Comfortable flight

I like double lung shots with the .500. Those shots worked for that. Also, in both cases the bullet was found just under the skin on the opposite side.

BTW, I just checked Lufthansa their ammo policy is GROSS weight and includes the locked case with max being 11lbs

Agree. On my big bores I use sticks. I have @African Sporting Creations wood 3 piece shooting sticks and I have a suede top for it ( https://www.africansportingcreations.com/suede-leather-bridge-top.html ) that I use for final sight in. It is just as steady as bench more or less. I have sighted...

I shoot .500 NE my schlapping limit.

That is derived from the Weaver stance in handgun shooting. It has evolved since then. Fighting recoil is not the right thing. Heck, I don't even hold the forward hand that tight, and let recoil happen (meaning I let the gun go up with the recoil force rather than fully into my shoulder)...

Thought of @Big_Easy when I saw this meme.

When one is almost 70 you do get a lot of experiences. The only things I have authored are technical manuals which do not count.

He is actually pretty likable. I have played Diablo IV in a group with him a while back. Yes, I am a gamer as well. When a new season starts I veg out for about 2-3 days playing 20+ hours per day with some guys then good and done until the next season.

What is ironic is that the left hate Elon Musk due to his wealth. Apple, in reality is one of the most profitable companies ever. Margins on iPhones are huge. This enables Apple to innovate and return good shareholder value. They don’t dump on Apple as no one person owns the majority of the...

Employment agencies make money too. A long time ago Exxon plant at Baytown, TX offered me a yearly maintenance contract. Stipulation was that I’d hire and include two guys corporate had RIFfed as they were the only guys that knew their Honeywell DCS system. I took 25% of the net after taxes and...
