• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

Rich and Co.,

Firstly, I've been participating in TFL for a few weeks and already I can't imagine not visiting here daily (at least once).

Please accept my compliments on a well run and constructed forum. Also, I must compliment the attitude and method that I discern in the approach of moderators and administrators alike. I very much like the way you all participate in the forums.

The reason for this post is to ask if you had ever considered a Buffalo Gun forum.

Buffalo stakes shooting pre-dates the CAS phenomenon, not to say it should necessarily be separate. I could be wrong about the pre-dating ... it pre-dates here at our range (middle GA). So there.

I naturally went to the Handloading and Reloading forum, and then to the CAS forum, for some cast bullet info and found that it wasn't there ... no discussion at all.

Now, as I understand it, the CAS shooters are not so much into casting their own bullets. They buy them in bulk. It's a consumption thing. I can vouch for the buffalo gun folks casting their own (as a rule). It's an accuracy thing. But then, that's the way rifle shooters are. Not to say they don't buy a thousand now and then ... I do. But you get my meaning, I think.

The various religious sects which support casting bullets might need a forum to discuss the pros, cons and methods of producing their own bullets.

Just an idea. If a new forum doesn't get enough participation to warrant it's existence, all that is lost is a BUNCH of Rich's time! Ho, ho.

Respectfully,

Sensop
