The problem with this forum is that there isn't enough talk about firearms. I appreciate the political discussion but how often do people actually talk about going to the range or tournament or whatever related to actually firing a weapon? Not enough in my opinion.
I tend to agree there. However, with firearms, it’s rare to have much new to talk about that hasn’t been done before. Lots of things get rehashed to newer shooters or those new to the forum. I dont mind at all, but there are often those who tend to be short on such topics as they tend to have been beaten to death. Like the 9 vs 45, AR vs AK, is 22 lr enough for defense, etc.
I don’t reload, so I can’t help you much. Don’t take this the wrong way, but it was frustrating helping you in the threads that I could help since you tend to want to do things your way and they tend to be one where you learn the hard way. Lots of folks try to help, but you do your own thing, many times in spite of the good feedback. Which is perfectly fine. As ren said, as long as you’re safe, that’s the main thing. I do see that you truly enjoy the experience and it takes a lot to share your experiences, especially when they open yourself up to criticism. I applaud your efforts, but it is often painful to watch at times.
I truly enjoy shooting. I enjoy discussing shooting, but there comes a point where there aren’t much to discuss. I was staff on another national gun board that went to shit because of political discussion.
