I had one person I'd never seen before come up to me after an annlying session and say "You're a rifleman, aren't you?" When I asked him how he knew, he said "Just as you fired, I saw the barrel stop STILL, as if you hit a phone pole. You need to berak old habbits. Oh, and you should be aiming for that empty patch of air that will SOON have a clay pidgeon in it."
I just need to unlearn old practices that no longer work. But don't we all?

I don't know why -- I love camping/fishing and I'm a crack shot with a rifle. (I'm USELESS with a shotgun, though. Every time I go trap shooting, I'd do better throwing gravel!) I just think that if you don't know what your doing with a firearm, you probably shouldn't be doing it. Perhaps I can sign up for a hunter safety course somewhere....

Up in the Free Resources menu at the top, you will see a number of plans for building and playing cigar box guitars/ukuleles/banjos/dulcimers/violins. I encourage you to download any of the plans, take a look at them, and ask questions from there. Also our site is VERY searchable. I bet you your questions have already been asked, so take a few moments and look around.

Join our Chat sometime (see the bar at the bottom of your browser page). Keep in mind that tho the chat window says there are X number of people online, not all may have the chat window up.

Most of all, have fun!
