I would have said "NITRO EXPRESS" for the .577

I like it when any word that ends with an "S" has an apostrophy like Dusty Steven's

In reference to the original post by our admin. I like it that there are questions. It keeps the place less cluttered with amateurs. Everyone is an amateur at first but we have lots of articles that can be seen by anyone.

Suggestion: Perhaps present a new applicant (that has just failed the test questions) with a link to a few articles to help them learn the easy smeazy questions so they can get up to snuff. I know when I first came here I had still a lot to learn and i do still learn.

Their you go. They're is no cure for people that misuse there own language!

Theirs the misuse of to, two, and too, to.

 

[Eddie Harren]

I hope your misuse was intentional, too.

Don't forget our visiting members;Europe,Asia and Down Under. Many do an admirable job with our language,frequently better than our homegrown shooters that have been pushed through our horrible modern educational system. Tom

England and the USA, two nations separated by a common language.

Of course Steven's is wrong. Proper noun, STEVENS, can be a bit tricky when showing the possessive form or of any singular proper noun ending in an 'S'.

One version that is acceptable.. Stevens'..yet another says...Stevens's.

So is it breasts or breasteses?

Inquiring mines want too no.

Or inquiring mines want two, no?

I also want to add that we tried to place more and tougher questions during initial signup, but unfortunately, some of our "brothers and sisters" can't even answer the easy-peesy questions we have now. If we provide really solid questions that only an experienced shooter would know, I can guarantee that my message box will be full and my phone ringing with angry complaints: "Gosh durn it... why do you make it so hard to sign up..."

".... unfortunately, some of our "brothers and sisters" can't even answer the easy-peesy questions we have now."


Many, yes MANY, forum participants are wholly ignorant about the topics they inquire about. Maybe their inability to cogitate 2+3=5 is just a warning sign?

Questions too tough to answer?


Seems to me that "accurate shooting" or becoming an "accurate shooter" may just be over their intellectual paygrade... Explains a lot, but not the fear and intolerance by The Bubba Brigade to education and scientific methodology as means to enabling more informed shooters & reloaders.


Guess that expecting even modicum of intelligence in this day & age is invalid presumption.
Most who learned to shoot with accuracy and precision goals read as much as they could about technique and practice, along with the basics for crafting excellent ammunition; BEFORE venturing onto the firing line.

Many here, at least in the reloading forum, have never read a loading manual; much less bought one.


Strikes me as very Blanche DuBois, these guys who come here begging for load data, always depending upon the kindness of strangers....

It didn't end very well for Miss Blanche, though
The blind can't really help other blind to navigate through the pitfalls that await the uniformed reloader.
Of course, that don't stop them from trying to be "helpful".

Seems these days, if you have read a good loading manual or in-depth book on precision loading and shooting techniques, you are one in a million. Just not enough to know about the potentials, or make others aware of what they can aspire to. But I guess if you can get them to compute 3+2=5, it is a start...
