I was kinda riding the ones who seem to think there is.<br /><br />I didn't say "old/new rifles/carbines/sidearms make you shoot better/worse." I think we should all run what we're comfortable/confident with. Some older and/or newer firearms fit each individual better than others. Therefore, some weapon/operator combinations will produce better results than others... practice being important. Better fit can be bought, but skill with any firearm, older or newer, cannot be acquired without practice.mustangernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-41549124106711583922012-07-30T13:25:34.575-04:002012-07-30T13:25:34.575-04:00Hey, y'all...leave him alone!

Find it in horse supply sections at WalMart, TSC, and most tack or feed stores. A dab, rub in firmly, wash hands (before rubbing eyes, don't ask me how I know). It doesn't do a <em>lot</em> but helps warm and loosen up the area.Brad K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18378344866487206569noreply@blogger.com
