Then there are those who, knowing nothing of the subject matter, ask legitimate questions; receive concise and well established advice- and then argue because they expected an easier solution. I have, sadly, reached the point I seldom bother anymore and sometimes chuckle when they get those "free answers from other dummies". You may send a digital copy of my Black Belt in Misanthrope to 'Sarge' at invssgt@gmail.com Hear Hear Buddy! Drives me crazy when they ask an expert a question on how to get from point A to Point B and you tell them, then they argue with you as if you haven't already tried it 5000 different ways. WELL CANT YOU JUST!!!!!!! Drives me Nutts. Reminds me of a time a Kid ended up at my Hot Rod Shop. Chassis laying everywhere. High Dollar Engine components on every shelf And argued with me about how the clutch works on A Nitro Funny Car or Top Fueler! He obviously didnt know who i was and i just blew him off! I Was In Tulsa, Racing My Nitro Flopper a few months later and there he was in the pits taking a picture of me slammin a clutch in my 300 mph in a thousand feet car with the most dumbfounded look on his face. He took This picture as i was asking him if he figured those Darn clutches out yet and if he wanted to shut the hell up and learn something! He had a little different attitude this time and watched & took the next picture of us winning a round with me standing to the left rear as it left the line! Sometime it pays to just shut up and Listen because if you dont know who your talking to you might get surprised. And get no real answers. Youll Just pissem off! we have since become friends and when he gets to running his mouth, i remind him of this time. Hahaha. This forum has a Major wealth of Heavy Hitters, and i mean men who dont just talk it but actually do it! I am very Grateful to be a part of it and i learn something here every day! R ***** Ronnie.... after bolting that Cuban sandwich to a nitroglycerine bomb called an internal combustion engine, only a fiend would sit behind it! I’ve stood beside dynamite going off, but that thing is spooky. David Bradshaw

I’ve stood beside dynamite going off, but that thing is spooky. David Bradshaw Dave sitting in it is a little different because you focusing on not screwing the pooch after everyone has worked so hard to prepare it for you! But standing behind it takes a lot of practice and discipline because it is like standing in the Bomb when it detonates. Then you are questioning yourself as to whether you got it right and if your are fixin to set your driver on fire or not. These things do not rev up and take off. They Explode in front of you and disappear in a puff of smoke and fire. In the time that the vibration and ground shaking shockwave dissipates enough for you to see, you are looking at the Display down track to see what she ran. Its just something you have to experience. we take a lot of women to the line. They always seem to want to experience it. Many have peed there panties. We have to sign them in and prepare them for the experience. Some body always wraps there arms around them because there first instinct is to run away. I usually get picked because of my size. They always scream. It is hilarious because they always say, oh ill be fine. Then scream at the top of there lungs( and you cant here it) and try to get away. Its just like trying to walk into a Fire. This is my lovely bride of seventeen years at the time in 2007 and me right before that same race in Tulsa. She is going to the line with us for the first time. She has always been in the stands with the kids before this day. It is much different standing 20 feet behind it. And this is us as the cars is leaving. She is dug into my hands like a CAT trying to wriggle free! Hahahahah. She wanted outta there man! From there on she says she is just fine in the stands. Later that evening in a by run, a nice 317 MPH pass spitting parts out of the right bank all the way down the track. Hahaha. Was a good day for Simpson Racing and Little Karmen.

Another FB expert told me this morning that he'd never heard of a 250/255gr bullet in the original .45Colt loads. I'm a bigger idiot for even participating.

Hey Craig, Im just not sure how i would have even taken that. hahaha. My Response would have been Maybe something like, YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A 250/255GR BULLET IN THE ORIGINAL COLT .45 LOADS? HMMM. Uuuuh what did you hear that they were? You have heard of a 45 colt right? Or something real smartypants like that. Geese louise! He probably would argue with you about the 40 grains of Blackpowder in them to huh? Oh well, if it wasnt for face book experts us dumbole cowboys wouldnt know squat.

It gets better, now a 200gr .44-40 out-penetrates the 250gr .45Colt because it's 100fps faster. I gotta walk away from that crap.

Yall's tolerance for stupidity is much higher than mine. I left most Facebook gun groups because it pegged my stupid meter. Now i use Facebook mostly to keep up with Outlaw Radial tire drag racing.

The best one I got in and walked shaking my head with a big name modern muzzleloader builder was telling a potential customer that he turned all his barrels a special way that “ Turned all the tension and stress right off the end of the barrel! “ !
