You're right JohnyMac. There's nothing like a nice soft pelt. ( or as the mountain men called a pelt, a plew )

Mine's a little odd. When I was a kid, about 8, my mom was helping me study for a spelling test the next day. I was leaning up against the french doors in our kitchen when I felt a thump on the glass. When I turned around there was this beautiful wolf starring straight at me with the most ferocious looking snarl I'd ever seen. My fascination with wolves began there. After that for years I've always loved pure white wolves and often used the name "White Wolf" or "TheWhiteWolfofMegiddo" as a screen name for email or my PSN id. Funny thing is it came full circle for me over the past 6 months. I had A LOT of spare time and was researching my family tree as well as other things. First thing I was shocked to find out from my grandmother that her side of the family was half jewish. When I went a lot farther back I came to find out both my Hessian and Scottish ancestors had Jewish heritage as well. Well, long story short I managed to track the bloodline specifically down to the tribe of Benjamin. Low and behold the tribe of Benjamins banner is, guess, a white wolf and they were prophetically called the "wolf." Even the faults, blessings, and personality traits found with the tribe are consistent with my personality. It about floored me when I saw it. It's like the symbology was in my DNA lol. Another thing, my aunt has a massive wolf hybrid she got a few years ago. Solid white and about 160lbs. Awesome dog, but takes a special liking to me. All in all I say if the name fits......wear it.

Damn that is a good name.

Neat story WhiteWolf. It's funny, earlier I was looking through some of the tag names on this site and was looking for ones that seemed really interesting. Yours popped out at me. I thought there might be a neat story to go with it, and I was right. I almost bought a wolf hybrid some years back, but I can't remember why I didn't. Again, Great Story! Keep em coming guys.

Mine came from the age old debate of 45acp vs 9mm. It always makes me giggle a bit on the inside at some of the ignorance I read that spews from some peoples keyboards. My personal preference is 9mm for a whole host of reasons. Pretty much sums it up

My user ID is either...


a)  My favorite breakfast cereal.

b)  A nickname given to me by my 'short bus' driver because 'window licker' was already taken.

c)  A pun or play on words, when combined with my "Agent 47" avatar, insinuating "serial k*****".

d)  A type of sub-sonic ammo available only to V.I.P. customers of a certain Class III weapons dealer.

e)  Both a & b.   (scary)

f)  Both c & d.   (scarier)

g)  All of the above.   (scariest)

Mine was taken from a character in a sci-fantasy book. He was a general who, in order to save his army had to fake his and his armies death and then turn against his former masters. But i also like it because i have an affinity for good Scotch. and i just thought, well damn that's a bad ass and original name. So i claimed it as my tag and if the author ever gets pissed at me for it its his problem. [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co

Mine changes from time to time. My main one is the Jungle cat. It is from a engineer battalion, where my dad is. This new one is just for fun  :))

Lol I guess I should also mention I made my user name years ago for a different forum. I keep it because I have been using it for so long, anything else I might forget. Simply due to habit

hj, I built a Thompson Center kit gun a few years ago. It was a Hawken 50 cal flint lock. Thompson locks are average so I put a better spring in the lock and switched out the frizzen for a case hardened one.

I threw out the original sights (blade and buck horn) and replaced them with True Glow open optic sights.

It took me awhile to work up a load because the barrel has a 1:48 twist which doesn't lend its self well to a round ball. I use 90 Grains of FFG Gotex powder. A .022 pillow ticking patch wrapped in a .480 ball. The first shot I carry (The killing shot on deer) I put a wool wad between the patched ball & powder and do not lube the patch on the first shot. After the first shot I do not use the wad and lube the patch with my saliva.

At 50 yards I can clover leaf my hits. With the True Glow sights I can shoot 1/2 hour before dawn and after dusk. 

Now my .54 cal Lancaster is totally different.  :))

Sounds like yo got it down to a science. I got rid of my Hawken some time back. I wasn't using it as much as I would like to, so I sold it.

You sold it? Bummer man. I hope you got some good $$$$ for it. I am seeing used ones now from good to V-good condition running around $200-.

But we are getting off topic here. PM me with why you sold it.  :))

I have dark, hard, brown eyes like coals.  Before each parachute jump I would be deep in my own thoughts, and a buddy told me I had a 1000-meter stare.  Jumped out of planes for 4 years, but had that look each and every time.  Reviewing my training in my mind, in my own zone.  People also know when I'm pissed just by looking at them, LOL.

I tried a couple of jumps (as a civilian). 1 static line 3500 ft. and 1 tandem freefall 13,500 ft. It was fun!

Dude try jumping on a new moon, heavy cloud cover, 3% visibility.  It gets totally crazy!  Most of my jumps were actually at night.

That sounds pretty tricky. I've always thought it must be neat when there are some clouds and a full moon lighting up the top side of the clouds. Just drifting on down through there must be pretty wild.

Yeah, it's a helluva view sometimes.  Remember, if you see the woodline slip away!  I liked the one-riser slips myself.  Almost shot me sideways.

You lost me at the wood line slipping away and the one riser slips. Remember , I'm a novice. What did you mean? Does the wood line slipping away mean you're losing your bearings?
