Man, pool halls are dangerous

I think so but I wasn't sure enough to name it. I don't remember if that was the first name, the hunting round name, or the new name for the pistol ammo. Pretty sure it was the pistol ammo, I think the first name, seems like the second pistol name on reflection. All of this may be dead wrong though. It has been a long time ago.




I don't take any round lightly. A lot of people have been killed with BB guns and pellet guns. I know of two people shot in the head with a twenty-five. One was shot at about 75', killed him graveyard dead. Another one, was at contact range or close to it in a guy's forehead. Killed him graveyard dead too!

One of the most feared pistols in the old days, wild west days, was a .22. I think it was black powder and even more anemic than the modern .22 short. Somebody would often carry several of these little pistols and empty both in a person. This was before x-rays and all a doctor could do was probe, cut, and chase a bullet which might veer two or three times when it hit a bone or sometimes just heavy tissue. Before anesthesia for the most part too. The lead bullets coated with lard or grease had to come out. Often the patient didn't survive, even when they did it had to natural born suck!

Hu
The wonders of medicine. Nowadays, .22 is treated nothing more than a child's plaything. We mainly use it for target practice and hunting small game.

Help with ferrule material

Do you know of fiber ferrules and cotton fiber ferrules are the same thing?
as you know, the material you have absorbs moisture, so it expands and shrinks, why they always look loose. I don't know if the material is the same now, but i wouldn't risk, buying the fibre stuff, if you can find some old ones. Or a trusted source, Theres your winner👍
Could you not just put the original one back on?
Here is an interesting thread on it, look at chris Hightower post 5:

Help with thoughts about an unknown pool cue butt?

Help with thoughts about this unknown pool cue butt?

I know the shaft is a Mezz, but just curious on thoughts about the butt.

Just curious on thoughts about the butt.

Love the Figured Segmented handle of it.

I really like it a lot, but just afraid it might be a Philippine made cue, and possibly warped. I have the worst luck with buying warped cues.

Thanks for any thoughts.
