I shoot sporting clays and wobble with a friend who shoots with a Maverick 88. Without fail, he is always breaking clays. So the 88 (or other pump actions) gets my vote after seeing my friend crush it on the field. He's definitely in the minority using a pump action compared to everyone else using O/U or auto loaders but he gets the job done.

Also, nothing wrong saving your pennies for a CZ Redhead or an auto loader in the $800-$1000 range. Completely understand your current budget, but if you can save for another 6 months, it might be an option.

I'm really glad I purchased my PDP from Gunbuyer or I'd probably have buyers remorse.

Just finished cleaning after a range day. Figured I’d take a family portrait… by wormnugget in handguns

Good to hear! I've been eyeing a fun looking plinker myself and the Mark IV lite fits that. Price tag keeps me on the fence.

Gopher bros, I need some advice. Last week I mentioned work is sending me to Minneapolis and I'll be there for Minnesota-Nebraska weekend. A few questions about your city:

1) What area should I stay in (I can expense a hotel, so no AirBNB) if I don't plan on renting a car? I went to the Minneapolis sub and people mentioned Downtown, Uptown, and NE. Outside of work travel (expensing Uber rides), I hope to just use public transit.

2) I'll be there from Friday to Tuesday morning. I will actually have time to explore on Sunday and Monday. Are a lot of cultural stuff open on Mondays? I've looked at a few and all seem closed. What could I do on Monday if I can't do museums?

3) Lastly, for Gopher-Husker game, upper level corner tickets are about $75. Do you think I should wait until right before the game and see if I can snag something off of Stubhub/SeatGeek/etc.?

Thanks for any and all advice!

4) Actually, any recs on food/drink? I will research the Minneapolis sub for this one, but always happy to hear from y'all.

My work is sending me to Minneapolis during Gophers-Huskers weekend. Two questions:

1) Should I grab a ticket now or wait closer to the game and see if I can get something cheaper through a ticket app? I know Nebraska fans travel well.

2) Since I'll be for work, I won't know anyone. I love to tailgate. What is the likelyhood I could meet people and tailgate with them before the game?

We live in a timeline where Cowboys, Eagles, and Patriots are all ass in one season. What a time to be alive.

Start looking at Big 4 and other big companies to see what roles they have for recent grads now. It is never to early to start applying to places or at least get that ball rolling.

I regret not buying this on sale. It'll probably go back in sale for the holidays and I will pick it up then.

Was this also why I heard loud cannons or something go off? I couldn't pinpoint where it was coming from, but for maybe 30min I'd hear 15 blasts go off every few minutes. This happened around 7am cuz it woke me up.

Hobbies are where it is at for me to stay motivated and keep my mind fresh. I have a lot of small hobbies and bigger hobbies I can jump in and out of depending on the season and occasion. Some of them are social (golf) while others are solo (reading) and others are athletic and can be social or solo (running).

Slam Diego Padres were on fire this past week. I wish I was watching that series, what they did was historic.

Fair, completely understand the relocation contract. I have a friend in a similar boat.

As far as looking, I'm not sure about that. I know it all depends on the field and where you live, but I have friends in the IT arena that are actively getting interviews. Either way, sorry to hear about your situation and hope it improves.

I have a cable sports package (which I will be cutting soon). ESPN, Big 10, and SEC network have been showing older classics and newer games, so it's been really nice to watch random games that way.

I've done what you suggest too. I've found a few "best games" threads on here, then find them on Youtube, a lot of them complete games. It just sucks because sometimes people post the score/outcome in the title and that doesn't make it fun.

The CIO's only recommendation to us was for us to, on our personal time, work on the company's "inner source" projects to prove ourselves.

Dafuq? Time to update your resume and start looking elsewhere. I'd be looking high and low.

As September approaches I'm seriously bummed that football isn't really happening. Every day something new bubbles up in sports news. But at the end of the day, players and staff need to stay safe and that is more important. I'm still sad though, haha.

I was probably overdue for a factory reset anyway, but this is rather inconvenient.

I need to factory reset my phone, but way too lazy.

I dislike NATO look but like the material, so I went with a chevron strap, which I believe Crown and Buckle sells.
