Howdy, Happy!

My handle is taken from the name of the town I was born in. Of course it is also the first name my folks decided to give me. I'm not very original when it comes to things like "handles". Maybe I should take a different handle. I'll check and see if I can change it

Have a super week everyone......."Blaine"

My handle is no big deal, it is short for Ken Bisbee. All my life I have been called Bis and use that handle on other forums. But the for some reason this forum will not allow 3 letter handles, so kbis it is.
Have a great day.
Ken

Howdy Welcome aboard Ken

My was taken for my current favorite caliber in the gun cabinet.

I'm presently working with a newer caliber to see what it can do,.. some people term it an alphabet caliber,... the .300 Remington SAUM.

I had participated in a lottery for a "Choice of a rifle or handgun" put on by the MCRGO organization in 2004 and was one of the lucky people drawn,.. I chose the Remington 673 Guide Rifle in the .300 SAUM caliber.

I made this choice due to the overwhelming public statements that this round probably won't be around long due to the .300WSM,.. and I really wanted a Guide Rifle I wanted it to see just WHAT this caliber could do and so far I have been pretty impressed with it's accuracy and performance.

I'm still developing different loads for it but it has proven itself with both the Hornady and Nosler brand pills sitting on top of Reloader #22 and #19. I'm now working with the MagPro powder to see if there are any better results that I can squeeze out of her.

My handle reflects the place where I live. I live in the Wild Horse Valley.

Mine is I shoot a german Blaser R93 switch barrel rifle.

My real name is "Barnyard Duck".

If you look those words up in the dictionary, you can come up with the words Rick Teal.

Thanks for the welcome, sorry I did not respond sooner. Had twister set down here and just got phone service fixed

Howdy Ken hope yall made it through it ok. I lost phone service this past weekend too somebody cut a line and then the bone heads wired four houses wrong and of course i was one of them ahh no bodys perfect .

shrpshtrjoe- I love living in the sticks, but does have its disadvantages. The last time we lost service is when lightning struck the box across the road from me. Everyone lost service except the first house on our road. The phone co. fixed our lines and then the only one without service was the first house on our road.
Or when we first moved here, I got phone calls almost everyday about adding a second line for my computer. I finally gave in and said yes. They come out to hook me up and there are no spare lines. It took them almost 3 months and 5,000 feet of cable to get my second line in.
It still beats living in the city.

I used to live in the sticks... but now uban sprawl reached me... now what used to be a 10 minute drive to work is now 25 min on a good day. I am looking for a new place to move lol.

I live in town and hunt alot of state walk in only areas. This causes me to have to walk in long distances and then pack out the game. This allows me to hunt pretty much on my own.

Longwalker,
I like the sound of that, sounds a lot like the way I hunt. I walk quite a bit, and when I put something down I hike it out on my own. .
Lets hear more from all of you about your handles, this has become a fun topic to read .

My Handle was given to me by my old muzzle loading club members. I got tired of shooting my TC Hawken and told everyone I was moving to a flintlock. Well 8 months later I finished my project, a .54 cal Flintlock modeled after a couple of rifles that I saw in a book that were from @1805 - 1812. It looked great and being somewhat sneeky I went out alone and got used to shooting it. I worked it over and you could not tell the diffrence from it or a percussion rifle going off. So the first match I told everyone I would be using my new flintlock. Everyone told me I didn't have a chance so I made a few side wagers and the rest is history. Got a beautiful possibles bag from the Easter Rondevous that year with my side wagers from that day.
