Hi all,

Please excuse my tardiness- things have been manic this side. So last week's article was an interesting experience: I'm not overly happy with it, but I felt it time to start changing up the tone as not to have the same predicable air. It's going to take some practice, however, as I have a very definite "flow" that I'm used to.

In addition, I found it wasn't received well, for 2 (main) reasons:
1) I come across quite preachy- people don't like being "spoken to".
2) It asks the community to take action at a personal level- enjoyment is meant to be passive.

I know this is a hunting forum, but I thought I would share my findings on writing as I know many of you (like me) are aspiring "authors" and I think there are a few things that can be learnt from this and I'd like people to learn from my errors too.

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
