I have posted videos of my display. Keep in mind, this is my first year doing an animated display. Nevertheless, please feel free to make comments and suggestions as I am always looking to learn and improvement.

When are you going to let everyone else know that I won?

I've shot the XD in 40 (b/c I own a SC 40) and the Glock 19 (in 9mm). They are very close in comparison. For me, and many others, it was a preference for the extra grip safety and the striker and loaded chamber indicators, as well as, the feel of the grip. Whenever I held or shot a Glock, I felt like my wrist was at too much of an angle. The XD felt much better in my hand. It's really a personal preference. You should go to the range and shoot them both (a friend's or rentals). In terms of accessories, they are plentiful and easily accessible for the Glock. And this is changing rapidly for the XD. As a matter of fact, you can even get the Crimson Trace Lasergrips for the XD now.

Someone just sent me this so I thought I would share it here... Three Bullets There once was a man who had nothing for his family to eat. He had an old rifle and three bullets. So, he decided that he would go out hunting and kill some wild game for dinner. As he went down the road, he saw a rabbit. He shot at the rabbit and missed it. The rabbit ran away. Then he saw a squirrel and fired a shot at the squirrel and missed it. The squirrel disappeared into a hole in a cottonwood tree. As he went further, he saw a large wild 'Tom' turkey in the tree, but he had only one bullet remaining. A voice spoke to him and said, 'Pray first, aim high and stay focused. However, at the same time, he saw a deer which was a better kill. He brought the gun down and aimed at the deer. But, then he saw a rattlesnake between his legs about to bite him, so he naturally brought the gun down further to shoot the rattlesnake. Still, the voice said again to him, 'I said 'Pray, Aim high and Stay focused.' So, the man decided to listen to God's voice. He prayed , then aimed the gun high up in the tree and shot the wild turkey. The bullet bounced off the turkey and killed the deer. The handle fell off the gun and hit the snake in the head and killed it. And, when the gun n had gone off, it knocked him into a pond When he stood up to look around, he had fish in all his pockets, a dead deer and a turkey to eat for his family. The snake (Satan) was dead simply because the man listened to God. Moral of the story: Pray first before you do anything, aim and shoot high in your goals, and stay focused on God. Never let others discourage you concerning your past. The past is exactly that, 'the past.' Live every day one day at a time and remember that only God knows our future and that he will not put you through any more than you can bear. Do not look to man for your blessings, but look to the doors that only He has prepared in advance for you in your favor. Wait, be still and patient: keep God first and everything else will follow. Pass this on in order that someone else might be blessed. FROM ONE FRIEND TO ANOTHER Don't worry about tomorrow, God is already there!!!

I'm thinking about getting my dad a Kentucky Long Rifle Flint-lock kit for Christmas. He's not a hunter but he has mentioned that he would like to own and finish one. I checked Traditions and they do have a Kentucky Long Rifle kit but it is a sidelock version. Any suggestions on other brands, models, and where to purchase (online most likely)?

I picked up THREE 40 pound sand "tubes" from Home Depot last year and had them in my Ram all winter.

Welcome aboard and congrats on your first deer. That's a nice way to get things started.

It's the ladies fault that men can't behave...ya'll are always teasin'.

That's pretty rough. I think I would have opted to hunt instead.

I heard that it was suppose to snow in Ohio tomorrow. I'm just hoping that we get a decent amount this year.

I second that one.

Man...I hope we get a lot of snow this year.

Congrats again on the buck Joel. Can't wait to see pix!

It does have a bit of a jump but it's still very accurate. A great forum for SA XDs is http://www.xdtalk.com/

Here's mine by the way....

I specifically bought my SA XD40 subcompact as my CCW and absolutely love it. I probably could have gone with the full 4" barrel but I love the smaller grip with the Pearce grip extension.

I loved those commercials. RIP Mr. Whipple.

Well crud!!! I took at least 3 pictures of my button buck and tag for submission. Unfortunately, when I went to download the pictures, they were GONE!!! As I understand it, no pix = no points. My apologies team!

I scored 5 points for our team yesterday by shooting a doe (well, it turned out to be a bb) with my smokepole.Personally, it's been 2 seasons since a took a deer so I finally got that monkey off my back.I'll post my entry pix later today.

Congrats on the spike Deb. I went out this morning and saw 4 does but couldn't get a shot.

Oh man, that stinks! Sorry to hear it.

Your first bow kill is one you will never forget. Congratulations!

Great buck! Congrats to you!

Very nice buck. Congrats to you!

Woah! That's a monster! Congrats!!!
