Mas when you were in the army old buddy they used to shove the bullets down the front of the gun, they've moved on from then you know!

Ahhh before that... My favourite was the longbow, taught Robin of Loxley you know... The media present him as a good looking man - but no - quite "plain" in an overweight, boozey, aristocratic way....

One of the barbers in my building worked field artillery in the Vietnam War, he is on partial disability with a similar thing. I've learned not to ask him about it, as it tends to come to the forefront of his thoughts then.

I'm no gun nut, and don't carry - took the CCW safety class though.

The wife and I went to an indoor bow and arrow archery range last winter, it was a good cheap and fun way to relieve some stress.

kach, your points all too true.... 'cept I did NOT get a partial disability.... just a $6000 compensation - sheeeiiiite, but better than nothing....

Obviously I was in the wrong service, we just got on with it, now what was it called? Gunner Ear or was that something you caught from interesting ladies?

I hear the poms got "cleaned out" with a special tool called the umbrella - scared the **** out of them.......
