Just missed you. I do remember a snipe hunt when I was younger but my brothers never were very good at that kind of thing or maybe I was to dammed lazy to run around like that.

Waiting on the pretty nurse to bring my meds, another 20 minutes. It's kind of funny but sad laying here and hearing other patients mostly seniors yelling and giving the nurses a tough time, mostly funny so far.

I don't know how Y'all do it but round about these parts we do it like this.

SNIPE HUNTING

A North-American prank and rite of passage wherein older adolescents take younger boys into the wilderness for the supposed purpose of “snipe hunting.” Snipes are an imaginary game bird purported to resemble quails or pheasants or what have you (the fictional snipe is not to be confused with the extant North American shorebird of that same name). Snipe hunts take place on moonless nights; the victims are provided burlap bags with which to catch the birds, while the conspirators spot them with flashlights. The conspirators make birdcalls, through rocks in the bushes, and urgently cry out “snipe” to make the victims believe that there are actually birds in the area. The victims don’t want to be the only one who can’t see the imaginary birds, so they claim to have seen them also. Pretty soon the victims have convinced each other they are surrounded by snipes and proceed to run about foolishly in search of the non-existent birds. “Dude right there didn’t you see it?” The conspirators will often agree that they have just seen a snipe in that cactus patch or lake or thorny bush and order then the victims to dive in and catch it with his respective sack. The victims are then often abandoned by their guides, thus completing the joke. The cycle repeats when this year’s dupes become privy to the joke and then take their younger brothers out the following year, in search of the ever-illusive snipe.

"You've never heard of snipe hunting? Dude we should go this weekend."

My uncle almost got me with that one on my first hunting trip <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

When the story started getting fishy and the smile a bit bigger I finally figured they were pulling my chain.

I have taken a few ladies out snipe hunting when I was a younger man.

i found out a few days ago there was a .40 super conversion barrel for the FNP45. I know I don't need it for anything but now i juat want one. seems like every 3 months or so I start thinking about 10mm. never heard of .40 super but from what I have read this would scratch that itch plus some.


JYD #82 yup...

40 super????? I have never heard of it. A 40 is just a 10mm short. Is a 40 super like a 10 mm kinda short?

I just always liked 9mm and 45 in my semi-auto handguns because they always seemed to be readily available everywhere, I have had a sig229 and taurus101 both in 40s&w and both were great shooters but when I consolidated calibers they had to go. I have my firearms for self defense and plinking and so for me the ballistics of the 40 were not important, I guess if I reloaded it is would be more so.

I do like the whole caliber conversion thing going on because of it letting you have a different caliber but on a familiar weapon and in the 22cal kits a cost effective way to practice more.
