    Shooting sticks made from arrows lashed together with surgical hose slid over the top 5-6" . Really nice walking through the woods knocking spider webs down too,got tired of eating them.

    Just traded a used box of matches for an old mauser with a match barrel in 6.5-06 AI

    Yup, very good trade.And here's to a complete recovery! I got a free scope one time for a "trade" in some machine parts...... they litteraly were in the scrap/recycle bin. A bud wouldn't take them for free,and have better things to do than argue so I capitulated.1-4X20 Luepold,VXI
