Greetings All, 182826 This is my Martini chambered in .30-40 Krag. It falls a little outside longshot's criteria of "still out there actively knocking over critters" but this is due to deficiencies...

The good work you are doing with your pest control is obviously in the same vein as this, but at least you spoke about harvesting prime cuts. It seems a shame that there is not some way that either...

You are trying to over think shooting groups. All shots are relative to the point of aim, so the 1st shot does count because you don't change your point of aim to where the 1st shot prints on the...
