    Magnum flintch

    When I was growing up, my father would load the gun for me as well as others. You never knew if you had a loaded round or not so if you got a click and flinched he'd know for sure. I've found sometimes people don't even realize their flinching. Knowing you're doing it seems to be the first...

    Has someone here on AH who hunted Tiger in Vietnam?

    All plastic shot shells

    Activ was located here in my home state of WV. I've shot a number of them and they always worked fine. They just never seemed to catch on though. I believe Doug3006 made a good point. Around here the good ol boys want high brass shells for maximum "killin", but the fact the brass is high...
