It's the only way the know how to play.

I've got a few cool pics, but when I try to attach them, I get a message that says file too large(or something like that)  Any hints on how to post pics?

Good answer.  Ideally, under high fence, you would shoot those, but I don't believe it will hurt the herd much to have a few 4 year old, bucks running around with weird racks.  Most will get to be 13" one day, and they can legally be taken then.  They may never be trophies, but they will make better targets than shooting them at age 1 1/2.  JMO

4 goals in the first half?  wow

[/quote] For one thing. it's pretty obvious that it turns warning track flyouts into homeruns.  I don't think the numbers lie here.  Look at the admitted users and their homerun numbers year by year.

I think this horse is dead.  Most don't agree with pressing a badly defeated team.  Some think it's acceptable.  Nobody is going to change their mind at this point.

As a side note, the 15-16 seniors don't start until high school ball is over.    So, if you want to play this summer, don't let that stand in your way.

[/quote] I like it too but will be going back to ole faithful next year.... My 30-06. BTW- My 8 yr old shot a buck yesterday evening 1-10-10... A big ole shaggy long horn spike.. Remember how I said that the 3 previous deer and hog that dropped by a 243 this year???  Well this buck was shot and ran like he was breaking out of prison.  Had to track him.. But it was shot placement.. He shot a little further back than he should have.. ALso the deer was slightly quartering towards us.. I had lost the blood trail but thankfully the green eyes on the deer were picked up by my very very small flashlight.  I lucked out. [/quote] Glad you found him.  Nothing sucks much worse than losing one.

[quote name="tvc184" post="742391" timestamp="1263257755"] westend1 - The favorite gun I have is a Ruger #1 in .22-250.  It's a great shooting rifle, but hard to justify when you could get a Remington 700 for [b]MUCH[/b] less. I have a Remington 700 synthetic stock in .270 and a Savage Model 11 with the AccuTrigger in .223. Both shoot 3/4" groups at 100 yards. I love a lot of other guns and would enjoy having them. For my hunting purposes though, I can't drag my billfold open for something that I really like mostly to look at. Anyone wishing to donate however.............. [/quote] I bought my son a Savage Mk II .22 last Christmas.  It has the accuTrigger and I like it a lot...  It's truly a $200 tack driver.

Take a look at the Yayes Sharpstown scores and make your decision. [/quote] That score at least gives the "apperance" that Sharpstown was an active participant. [Hidden Content] [/quote] I agree.  When the opponent is scoring and breaking the press occasionally, it won't raise an eyebrow.  A 40 point whipping is a long cry from a 135 point beatdown.

Here is the quote:  Wade said HISD’s mercy rule policies are determined on a game-by-game basis. Tuesday night. Both coaches chose to finish the contest. “In retrospect, [b]should we have done something differently? Probably[/b],” Wade said. “At the time, the kids and coaches wanted to finish the game so we let that happen.”

Just a simple rule that allows no backcourt defense when you are up by.....maybe 40.  This would allow the weaker team to slow the pace and keep the score somewhat respectable.  If they wanted to coninue to run, then so be it.

I like it!

[/quote] Really??  I've never shot one but I hadn't heard much good about it.  Just heard it was a fast flat shooting gun.  Would it be a good youth gun?  [/quote] Maybe a little stout for a young kid, but if you are talking 14 or older, it would be fine.

You were right about one thing;   You are way off.    [/quote] As usual, WrongEnd, you are mistaken!  I have done nothing but praise Kelly.  I simply thought it odd that someone would say great job after a loss, and not knowing FWAH, thought I would ask if they were satisifed with that result.  You obviously have issues with your team (whatever team that is), and that is sad -- but, hey, at least you are a student of the Lady Mustangs, so there is hope for you. And so long as being "way off" means being far different from you, then I am happy to be way off. [/quote] LOL!    Good job FF.  You snuck in a little name calling, somewhat like my 7 year old niece.  I still want to know if you were proud of your girls after their 2nd place finish.  Did you say "great job" after a loss? 

[quote name="Bucof2010" post="741701" timestamp="1263140994"] I've heard a lot of people say they've had to track deer long ways after hitting them good with a .243 what do you'll think about that? [/quote] I don't think they hit them that good.  Take out both lungs, which a .243 will easily do, and they aren't going far.  I guess maybe it depends on what they consider a "long ways".  Is 40-50 yards a long ways?

[quote name="FriendswoodFan" post="741663" timestamp="1263127922"] I was responding to the post saying that it sounded like Kelly did a great job.  And, I may be way off here, but I do not generally think that the Kelly Winter Classic is on a par with the UIL State Championship, so I do not accept your analogy.  However, to answer your question, it makes one wish we had Kelly's coach as coach of the Lady Mustangs!  Then, we would have won imo.

[quote name="FriendswoodFan" post="741463" timestamp="1263088926"] I was kind of expecting/hoping Kelly would win it all.  Are the Kelly fans really satisfied with runner-up? [/quote] You should know more about that after the Richardson game last year.  How does it feel to be runner-up?
