JJL Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Re: Official Off the Porch Gang signup thread!!!!! I believe that we might need a little clarification of the rules.......[ QUOTE ] 2. You must own and shoot a centerfire, magnum rifle cartridge or cenerfire pistol cartridge .429" or larger. (some exceptions without formal "magnum" designation will be considered i.e. Rigby, Nitro Express, etc) [/ QUOTE ] While the 300 magnums and others are nice calibers, they do not necessarily meet the requirements of the OTP Bylaws. I believe that this matter will need to be discussed amongst the board of directors. I will admit though, that if you can supply proof of an OTP shot..........with intent to due MAGNUM harm. i.e. yearling doe head-shot with 300 wsm at twenty yards or squirrel taken at thirty-five yards with 7mm stw........it could possibly help your case for inclusion.

You must own and shoot a centerfire, magnum rifle cartridge (of any caliber) or centerfire pistol cartridge (.429" or larger). Some exceptions without formal "magnum" designation may be considered, i.e. Rigby, Gibbs, Nitro Express, etc. Hope this clears all gray areas for Rule #2.

iron buck Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Re: Official Off the Porch Gang signup thread!!!!! Hmmmm...I have several different 300 mags, 338 mags & 375HH....none of which are big enough. But I do have on hand Colorado Bobs 444 Marlin that I baby sit for him until he comes back to PA to hunt. Does that count? It could certainly stop any charging squirrel that walks the earth Or does the revised wording qualify my other magnums?

Guest ronin Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Re: Official Off the Porch Gang signup thread!!!!! The proof is in the pudding. 3500 FPS and an instant drop before I could recover from the recoil. 300 RUM Baby. The results speak for themselves.

JJL Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Re: Official Off the Porch Gang signup thread!!!!! Thank-You for the clarification. That will now be referred to the "Off The Porch First Ammendment". #11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaCoyote Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Re: Official Off the Porch Gang signup thread!!!!! I like strong black coffee and I shoot a 350 Rem mag and a .44 rem mag. I have to say though .357 mag should at least get an honorable mention as I believe it was the first popular magnum handgun cartridge. Plus, I have one of those too!!!

Guest ronin Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Re: Official Off the Porch Gang signup thread!!!!! I propose the Second Ammendment to read as follow: "We the Off the Porch Gang, in order to from a more perfect magnum, establish massive case size to ensure tranquility whilst in the field."

Guest ronin Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Re: Official Off the Porch Gang signup thread!!!!! I also beleive that it should be proclaimed that all OTPG members should refrain,( at the punishment of never shooting anything more than a .17 HMR), from lowering themselves to the use of a "reduced" load. "Safely Compressed" should be a new mantra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Re: Official Off the Porch Gang signup thread!!!!! 1. You must be a registered member, in good standing, of the Realtree Forums. Registered member, standing is questionable! 2. You must own and shoot a centerfire, magnum rifle cartridge or cenerfire pistol cartridge .429" or larger. (some exceptions without formal "magnum" designation will be considered i.e. Rigby, Nitro Express, etc) How 'bout that 7mm Remington Magnum!!! My favorite for whitetails, although I have used a friend's 375 H&H on a 100 lb doe and found it quite acceptable for the task. 3. You must have a dislike for hot cocoa. Never touch the stuff. 4. You must reply to this thread with your username and cartridge which you feel qualifies you for membership. Pictures of the cartridges are good, too (but not required)!!
