I picked up 2 single shot .22 rifles today. 1. A Remington Targetmaster 510P in really good shape. Has peep sights and very little wear any place. I found out they were manufactured from 1939 - 1968. Up to that time no serial numbers were required, so it is impossible to know how old it really is 2. A Ranger Single shot .22 M-34 rifle. Very good shape, stock finish is still glossy with very few dings. Research showed that they were manufactured for Sears by Marlin. Will be taking them apart in the next day or so... or maybe after I get back from Arkansas at the end of the month. Will take them out and shoot them then. On another note, Went duck hunting yesterday. My partner and I shot 13 ducks total. 8 for me and 5 for him. I even got 2 doubles. We spilt the kills to make sure we shot had the right numbers of the various birds to make the Wildlife folks happy, 2 Drake Mallards 1 Hen Mallards 2 Drake Shovelbills 2 Hen Shovelbills 4 Drake Gadwall 2 Hen Gadwall Morning flight only gave us 3 birds, slow afternoon got us 2, the big run was the evening flight which came in large groups getting us the last 8 in the final hour and a half. Wish we could get a bird for every shot fired...:bang head: would have about 35 birds ! Only my second season hunting and am loving the hell out of it. Started last season with a Remington 870 express 12 gauge. Moved up some this year with the purchase of a Benelli Super Black Eagle II ... What a sweet gun. Yesterday was the third outing for the season. First day 0, Second day 1, Third day, 8 nice progression. Would be nice if I can limit each time. What a day it was :hurts::hurts:

I just saw this on the news tonight. Seems Florida wants us to ALL be certified on a M/C. Even us old timers. At a cost of $200.00+! Plus they let us know 4 days in advance of the law taking place. What kind of garbage is this. Sounds pretty unconstitutinal to me. Especially given the fact that they have charged extra all these years for a M/C endorsement. At least grandfather in the older riders. Certification Required For All FL Motorcycle Riders http://www.cbs47.com/media/news/7/f/9/7f944998-a100-471a-8724-42c24dc41997/Contributor.jpg Reported by: Kristen Cosby Email: kcosby@tvjaxfl.com Last Update: 4:54 pm Print Story | Email Story http://www.cbs47.com/images/textsize/11N.gifhttp://www.cbs47.com/images/textsize/12S.gifhttp://www.cbs47.com/images/textsize/14N.gifhttp://www.cbs47.com/images/textsize/16N.gif http://www.cbs47.com/media/news/a/0/2/a0228aa9-d85c-407a-b076-66626a63463d/Story.jpg George Drake will soon trade in his car for a motorcycle, figuring he'll cut his family's gas costs in half. "Its convenient, its something that's a thrill and I think probably the way America's gonna go if we continue with our gas prices," said Drake. Florida wants to make sure these growing number or riders rev up safely. Starting July 1 everyone who hops on a hog has to be certified by going through a training course. Even if you've been riding a motorcycle for years, if you don't have that certification, you also have to go to class. Michael Dobbs runs Jacksonville Motorcycle Safety Training and says this law will save a lot of lives. "90 % of people that are self-taught will probably get in an accident, self taught by a friend, an uncle or someone," said Dobbs. The training course is 15 hours long- five hours in the classroom, 10 hours on the bike. The course teaches things like how to avoid an accident and how to maneuver through a tough situation on the road. It average $200. For Drake, it means he'll save gas money and stay safe. "Florida's going the right way by enforcing this course," said Drake.
