Well you know what they say about people who Dry Ball a rifle. 85% of the people admit that they have done it. The other 15% lie about that and a lot of other stuff too.

Charles Shackelford played pro basketball for 11 years, enjoying a solid six years in the NBA with New Jersey, Philadelphia, Minnesota and Chicago. He also played in Greece, Turkey and Italy. Prior to that, Shackelford was an all-Atlantic Coast Conference standout at North Carolina State.
Shackelford definitely had game — at least until it came to post-game interviews. He once explained to reporters that he was adept at using both hands.
“Left hand, right hand, it doesn’t matter,” Shackelford said. “I’m amphibious

Honestly I couldn't say. In fact, I'll just go ahead and state that I really don't want to know. Hahahaha!
Indeed. I'm to the point that I have been putting off going to the not so nearby public range unless I have someone watching my stuff while I go check the target.

You took a thread that started concerning things idiots have said on the range, then turned my response around to insult me simply because I chose not to educate the clod I mentioned. Funny, before that I don't recall even commenting to one of yours, at least as far as this thread is concerned. Yet I'm the pain in the arse!
I say what I think and respond to people as I'm responded to. If someone insults me, I give it back, simple as that. Easy advice, don't insult people and in turn they won't insult you. That's not hard to figure out is it? Or am I being a PITA again?

Would you believe 3 years??Why ,I haven't dry balled a m/l in 20 years.................LIE , LIE , LIE........
There are no idiots with dumb questions, no questions are dumb, only the person asking if there are any idiots with dumb questions. Might want to clean up this forum.
A soft hand is better than a bitter heart and tongue.
I might suggest "unwatching" the thread, like I am going to do just after I hit "post reply.
Sometimes, after 10 pages, threads play themselves out and It's not worth bothering with anymore.

Not a dumb question but my son purchased a 44 cal Pietta black powder at a gun show Saturday and the seller said he had bullets and caps for it the caps were #11 so I swapped him some #10 for the #11 the bullets were 440 round balls so I had to give him some 452 so he could start shooting lt Saturday the seller had no idea it was all wrong
Not to say some folks are idiots at all. More like uninformed. Here's some of the funniest ones I have heard.
"A peep sight is no good for hunting".
"Peep sights do not let in enough light to get a clear sight picture".
And my favorite one is "Using a trail cam is not real hunting, you need to learn how to scout".

Our Club shares 50 acres with a Pistol Club. We don't get along.
After someone put a hole through the wall of one of their sheds, their President accused our members because... wait for it....... "you guys shoot ROUND ball". Apparently modern pistols don't make a ROUND hole.
I had a young guy tell me once that dripping water into a hot Casting pot is not dangerous because he saw it on Myth Busters. He also said "you can put your hand into the molten lead, it doesn't hurt".
So I said, "do it and let me know how you got on".

How about “settled science?”
I know Mark Baker, use to supply him with edibles for the articles he wrote in Muzzleloader. He told me he thought he was to train Daniel Day Lewis how to run through the woods (turns out Lewis is a long distance runner having to wait for Mark to catchup). Lewis turns out to know more than what Mark was told, shooting and outdoor skills, just muzzleloaders and a few skills he needed knowledge on. Some of these actors are more on the ball than given credit for ...

You're asking about dumb replies: We were on a period (1800) canoe trip on the Missouri River and ran out of drinking water. Stopped at a resident on the river and got filled back up with clean water.
I asked about getting to a smaller waterway not wanting to get on the Mississippi River and received this reply for directions: "Can't get there from here"?
