If you ask my wife she will say "Thank you Sig Forum for teaching Dave how to reverse sear a 2" thick ribeye"

Another Sig Forum technique that gets used regularly is Shugart's microwave corn recipe.

And then there is the paracord deal, thermapen deal, Ken Onion work sharp deal and on and on...

Fun forum full of entertainment and education - my favorite internet hang out by far.

If you're responding to anything that may stir up emotions, give it a few minutes before pressing the reply and post buttons.

Works well elsewhere too.

I have been shooting since I was so small I needed help holding up the gun. I am now nearing 3/4 of a century in age and yet, I still learn new things about guns and shooting on SF.

Two important things-

**The crazy, vast and deep knowledge on just about any topic under the sun from the members here.

Post the most oddball question and see how quickly you get the right answer!


**The willingness and thoughtfulness of members here to help and look out for another member!

Dave, 12131 amended the "imaginary" part. No, we really exist! It's just that probably -/+ 90% of us have never met in person. Talking, sharing ideas, likes, dislikes, theories (tinfoil helmets included ) believes via electronic means is our "connection" to each other. Yes, we share the same common beliefs about guns, politics, family, values, and the absolute need to have a quarter next to an uncooked chunk of meat.

We may not agree with each other. Yeah, we'll argue, call each other names on occasion, then the "Eagle" has to swooping every once in a while and settle things.

The majority take their comeuppance well, some don't, and sometimes >>>>THATS THE FUN PART<<<<.

From the outside looking in, it's probably an odd assortment of individuals.
But on the inside- not a half bad place to hang out.

Don't piss off Para

I have learned more about people in my 21+ years here than I did from life in general for the previous 40 or so.

David as I’m sure we all know the depth of expertise on this forum far exceeds anywhere else that I’ve been able to find.

The most important thing I’ve learned is that the older I get, the less I know..

So true

Sigforum is often like attending life’s university classes. Life lessons often escaped me because I didn’t listen or notice as they passed over my head.

When described by wise folks here who did listen and learn, I slow down, listen, and pay attention.

Always read the waiver.

If your plan includes taking multiple .308 rounds to the back, perhaps you need a different plan.

Actually, I didn't need SF to learn that, but there have been so many other things...

“The way of the Gun” !!!!

What I have learned here:

- It is more fun and informative than when I first joined

- An amazing group of people reside here!

1. Never read the entire thread before responding. Why bother, you know what you're talking about.

2. Get into arguments with Para. He is, after all, not a moderator for the forum and is notoriously easy going with people who advise him about how this forum should run.

3. Politics is always fun to interject into any topic. People really enjoy that, especially the OP who just wanted his question about bananas answered.

4. Always yuk somebody's yum. After all, they asked for your opinion and by God deserve to know how you feel about something they enjoy. After all, you might just change their mind.

5. Sarcasm is always clearly apparent from a post, and anyone who says otherwise is an a-hole.

Never get out of the Boat

If you get out of the boat, buy a Toyota.....

One of the common themes on the forum that I've personally taken to heart over my 15 years here is: Buy once, cry once. That is, quality products are always worth the extra money.

It's a theme oft repeated in recommendations, and embodied by the various unofficially endorsed semi-official forum product lines:

Speed Queen
Waste King
Uplula
Etc.

All of them handily outperform their cheaper alternatives in their respective functions, and are worth the added cost.

Don't be afraid to ask questions - lots of expertise on this board in a wide range of areas.

Always read the disclaimer!

I learned a few things in my years here. This forum will Not take disrespect (thank you), They say what they mean, and mean what they say, This is the only forum I have joined over the past 20 years I go to every day because the members are polite, and the Admin here are respectful, and true to their beliefs.
