[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1042003, member: 30671"] My pet peeve is what I call "seagulls". They stake out the same post every day, rarely shoot, squawk continuously, and crap all over anything that comes near their perch. I enjoy the free flow of information, but there are days I think if I hear about Jack O'connor's .270, and why any one of my magnum rifles suck, just one more time I'm going to butt stroke somebody. However, I figure that's my first step toward becoming a seagull. I saw a better example 40 years ago. I had the privilege of sharing the range with Al Biesen one day, a class individual. When I asked him what he was shooting he handed me the Shah of Iran's brothers newest build (still can't spell his name). Gold inlay, engraved, awesome wood and checkering. Never hesitated, or blinked. I did not know him, he did not know me. Wealthy Prince, or kid with beater 721, all the same. I try hard to be that guy, and not a seagull. [/QUOTE]
