As I see it, the problem is that people think they can compensate for poor hunting, fishing, or outdoor's skills with more gear and more expensive gear. I can see if a guy gets to a point where his skills have taken him about as far as they can and the only way to get better is with better gear. Case in point are all the expensive high powered (by that I mean all the magnum cartridges, etc.) rifles with all the big scopes on them hunters use to compensate for not going to the range and getting good at shooting, understanding ballistics, etc. Granted, you will never kill elk with a .30-30 at 400 yards and once a person’s skill gets to the point where they are beyond the ability of their rifle then go and buy a .300 Win Mag with a quality scope. But don’t buy a .300 Win Mag with a quality scope to make up for the fact you can’t hit the broad side of a barn at 100 yards with iron sites.

Sorry, one more thing, if you are interested in a military tent, you can try the following links: http://gsaauctions.gov/ http://web.govliquidation.com/ Remember if you buy one to make sure you get the poles with it.

I am noticing this morning as I surf around the site that things are loading quicker. Not sure if this is just because it is still early in the morning or not but noticeably better right now (08:31 MDT) than yesterday.

All, I received this link (http://www.shootingwire.com) from a friend this afternoon, looks like the change to the military selling used brass may actually be accurate (beyond the other governmental actions which are also listed). Here's the confirmation: http://www.georgia-arms.com/. Thoughts? This scares me.
