The Phantom

New

Hello, I have been reading this site for a while and decided to post. I do know a few of the people that visit here. I have met them at DSI. I have a great interest in Afcian hunting thus I came here to start my posting. I would like to say hi to Frank Beller (like the name) and all of my other friends here.

Welcome to the forum. As Steve said, a lot of fun here. But also a lot of information and sound [well, mostly] advice on many aspects of African hunting.

Please post to ask about whatever you wish to know more. And tell us more about yourself?

In good hunting.

After a few years of participation on forums, I have learned that:

One can cure:

Lack of knowledge – by instruction. Lack of skills – by practice. Lack of experience – by time doing it.

One cannot cure:

Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules!

My very long ago ancestors needed and loved to eat meat. Today I still hunt!

Welcome aboard, it's a great site you've joined into.

I do recommend that you put something in your location

box though. Even if it's no more precise than South
Central USA as a "fer instince".

OH GOD! {Seriously, we need the help.}

BigFiveJack, as my name suggests I am here now and there then. Sometimes north some times south. Sometimes here and sometimes there.

Welcome here Phantom, there is a collective volume of knowledge, and information on this sight that is not duplicated in any other I'm aware of on the internet! Some come real close, but no cigar!

As BigFiveJack says your general location is a good thing,like just the state, or general part of the world. That makes it easier to offer close help with gunsmithing, and locating people close by who can help at times, of need, in finding places to hunt, or something you may need for a safari!

Again welcome to Accurate Reloading forums!

Would not "Old Guy" pretty much cover it?
