What happens to the players that dont find a school? No way all the kids that enter from every school across the country find a new place to play. What happens to those kids? Their football career is just over?

IIRC, 40-50% of those in the transfer portal don't find a new home and end up out of college football.

So when the UN distributes the money there's less corruption??

I don’t know what we are arguing about. I don’t want the UN involved and I think it’s a bad idea to NOT directly oversee aid. What’s the question again?

---

I'm not arguing. I'm trying to understand your position. I suggested bypassing the UN would provide more money directly to the recipient. I took your response to mean there'd be more corruption when money is given directly to the recipient instead of going through the UN.

If the U.S. wants to supply aid somewhere this should be the only way and there should be an independent non corrupt entity to do so.

---

Why can't the US donate world aid money DIRECTLY to the recipient instead of going through the UN. I'm sure a lot of money gets wasted and diverted to non charitable causes once the UN gets its hands on the donation.

I totally agree with you about players wanting to go where they can get immediate playing time. The fact, however, is that there are more players chasing that playing time role than there are quality opportunities for them, with quality being the critical consideration. Someone has to decide if waiting a year at a real opportunistic location is more important than getting on the field "anywhere". Its up to our coaches to help the candidate figure that out.

---

Lots of good points. A problem is that while many of these young kids agree they may need time to develop into a starter, most think it'll be the OTHER guy who needs to develop. :banghead: I'm confident our coaching staff is better than most in giving the player good counsel.

I have a few more questions.

1) What do y'all do when you are sitting/driving your vehicle? Do you take the handgun/holster out? This seems like the most uncomfortable.

I usually carry my holsters at 4 o'clock. If driving more than a short distance, I move the holster to 3 o'clock where it's more comfortable. Both the holsters in my pics are easy to move like this.

2) Would you take a one on one or a group class?

All of my classes have been a group. Take whichever you prefer.

3) What is the distance for the live firing? I have access to an outdoor range I could practice on whenever it warms up some.

It depends on the state and type of certification.

These are some wonderful responses. I have a child that has been hunting with a .243 and I would like to step up a notch. .243 has definitely served its purpose but I would like something more likely to leave a good blood trail to follow if needed.

My 9 yo grandson killed his first rifle deer a few weeks ago using a 243 and 100 gr bullets. He put a single shot through the lungs and the deer ran 50 yards. I've become more tolerant about using the 243 for youth hunts. The 243 is a fine gun, especially w/ 100 gr, non-fragile bullets and a good presentation. My concern is w/ bad angling shots I think the 243 is bestt used when the hunter is patient and waits for a good shot. I hope to take my grandson hunting tomorrow and he'll use the 243.

As I mentioned earlier, I started my son on a 308 Win w/ reduced recoil loads I hand loaded. I kept his shots to <100 yards. A reduced recoil load can kill quite well as long an appropriate bullet is used. I've killed a bunch of deer w/ handguns running rounds minimally faster, or at the same velocity, than a rifle reduced load and they kill just fine. A Ballistic Tip that's too fragile at 3000 fps may perform well at 2500 fps.

A few years ago, I bought a 7-08 for grandkids to use. I've worked up a load for it using the 120 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip, but I didn't have them loaded up when my grandson when hunting. In your situation, I'd start looking for a gun in 260 Rem, 6.5 CM,7-08 or 308 Win that has reduced recoil loads. 270 or 30-06 would be good as well, but will have a little more recoil than the others that use less powder.

Keep us updated.

Or make friends w/ someone who handloads .When my son started hunting w/ me, I bought him a Savage bolt action in 308 Win. This was before factory reduced recoil/manage recoil loads. I loaded 125 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips to about 2400 fps. At reduced velocities, that's a good deer hunting round w/ deep penetration and good expansion. He killed 7 or 8 deer w/ it. He even killed a nice buck w/ the load when his was only a couple weeks out w/ a fractured clavicle, albeit on the non-dominate side. When he got older, I loaded full power loads w/ a 150 gr Sierra. Actually, a reduced recoil load 308 w/ a 125 gr bullet has less recoil than a full power 243 Winchester w/ 100 gr bullet.
