I was just given a Nikon N8008 35mm camera, with two Nikon lenses (35-135mm AF & 70-300mm AF) and a Nikon SB-25 flash. Everything is in perfect working condition, except the flash - the shoe is broken, but I imagine this is something easily fixed. I did some quick research on Ebay, and neither of t...

thanks for all the help.You have linked a couple Weatherby's. I asked about the Italian made ones and thought you said to stay away from them? So I am a little confused. I had mentioned that Academy Sports had them for 999.99 AT... A SKB made Weatherby is a great gun. I would shy away from the Ital...

Well, after all of these threads I am convinced to ditch the Canon SD400 point-and-shoot and go with an SLR with a good lens. I don't know squat about cameras but am willing to learn. I am good with images and photo editing, etc. and take a lot of pictures. I feel limited with my existing camera, w...

thanks don. so, the lower f# the wider the aperture, and that would have blurred the background more in the pic? for some reason my mind is not wanting to comprehend that. i thought the higher the f# the more blur. the motor upstairs must need an oil change. time for a beer.....lol You don't want t...

To me it could stand to be -1 or2 stops. The ears look a little washed out. I too would try to shoot at 1/125 or faster. It looks like the detail on your dog is a little muddy. It might be some movement. Nice shot!

I have never heard of booker either. He has done some winning in KY and Ind. I guess thats saying something.

To me and to countless others a Grouse dog is a setter! Don't get me wrong, I have hunted behind some great shorthairs. When I think of shorthairs I "think" pheasants. And when I "think" of grouse I think of setters. When I think of quail I "think" of pointers AND setters. http://members3.boardhost....

Her sire is 5X NSTRA Champion Bad News Booker(grandson Tekoa Mountain Sunrise) and the dam is a granddaughter of Tekoa Mountain Sunrise and Master Mohawk Mike

Considering this other dogs,I assume that the dog does well with other dogs. This would be a 10 hour round trip so a "try out" would proablly not be an option. I guess I worry most about the socialization @ 6 months.

I talked to a guy that has a 6 month old setter that he wants to sell. He said that he just doesn't have the time to train the dog (has 15 dogs in his kennel). He has not worked the dog at all. He said that it was his pick of the litter that he was going to keep. He said that the dog had lots of poi...

I am curious about the Italian made ones. I am in the market for a nice quality O/U that wont break my bank. They have some at Academy Sports fo r 999.99, I may get one next year.

Tim, I am wondering what your take is on the IS lens. Or in the case of Pentax the IS bodies. I realize that we all should be useing a tripod anyway. But that rarely is the case with us amatures. I'm strugling trying to justify spending 2x-3x on glass just to get that feature. WDO

whitedogone

Also, I should add one more thing since one of the reasons for an auto over a o/u was the third shot. Almost all the time, the third shot is a hail mary, or to take care of a cripple. Two shots is really all you need and you really won't miss the third shot. In the grouse woods, if you get two shot...

whitedogone

I'm not sure if it is a natural crook or the dog broke it at some point. But my question is can a vet do anything to straighten it out?

whitedogone

Can't go wrong with one of those brands. I am a lefty as well. I shoot a Beretta and a SKB. I shoot both well. I did have the Beretta stock bent. The berettas do have quite a bit of cast that doesn't bode well for us leftys. You really need to sholder all the guns and see with fits you best. The mos...

I do believe that they switched over to Italian guns here very recently. If you got you're bought it used, it will be a SKB gun. I have an Ithaca (also SKB) that was built in the 70's. My gun has somewhere around 100,000 rounds thru it. I had my smith replace the firing pin springs and some other re...

If you have been looking at the Nikon D40x and the D80 you should really rethink that and concider the D40. You can get the d40 with both the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX and 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6G ED AF-S DX lens for less than $570. Heck you can even throw in a SB400 flash (a very good flash) and ...

If you're not pulling a big trailer much, the Z71 with the 5.3 is a great truck. It will beat ford and dodge on gas mileage. No need for a Desiel unless you are towing. It's not worth the extra $. WDO
