    HGC is a “little “ less stuffy than Galt , I don’t care what anybody shoots as long as they are safe . Watching new guys load three rounds into a semi , nope you just sit on a bench over there and think that through . One of the bigger reasons besides reliability , with a break gun you know it’s...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    @Relax mentioned skeet , however everything I posted applies to trap as well , fit being number one, adjustable comb number two , and how long you want it to last being three .

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    for reliable skeet results the gun HAS to fit . Try a bunch and when you find one that seems right , look for a used one . GunPost online is an excellent choice to look, Epps in Orillia , Gagnon is Oshawa is good, Tillsonburg Gun shop, Al Flarety in Toronto. Dont get locked into a brand as the...

    Natural gas BBQs

    Most offer a conversion kit , mine came with one , simply brass jets that you screw into the manifold . You can drill out most others if you wanted . I’d go to a decent appliance store like TA in Kitchener ( for the OP) and they will have all the parts on hand . Places like Canadian tire or...

They may be more patient, not try to hand you a drink you don’t want ( need) or be more willing to be flexible when dealing with you . The era of manly men doing only manly man stuff is going away . It’s ok to...
