Best Cheap Weapon For the Public

[jmatteos24]

What was the name of that battle you spoke of in your video?

[smithlikeswessen]

Should have went back to twirling the knife at the end ;). Good video I liked it

[donze52]

@smithlikeswessen

thanks for imput, spinning a blade is kind of like

magic, never as good the second time.

plus I am 59 now, but when I was 19 I could make it blur.

but those days are gone.

keep you and your safe.

[MrFeatherDer]

I'm just sayin u can get a tube fed for 100 dollars a single shot is like a kids gun. And the fact is them kids had one hell of a fortified position on the gemans

[donze52]

@MrFeatherDer

you have points, but battle hardened, best trained and armed military took three weeks to finish off a bunch of boys with single shot 22 rifles.

[MrFeatherDer]

Mini 14 is way better

[donze52]

@MrFeatherDer

each to his own, all the film showed is you can carry

10 round of 22 or one high power round.

quite shooting, plus large game killing in survival mode.

keep safe

[akcessdenied]

I might buy a .22 magnum but ammo cost a quite a bit more.

[donze52]

@akcessdenied

wife owns a 22 mag rifle,

but for fun quite shooting out to 200 yards a 22 is great

and also good for self defense.

[electricfemale]

I love the way you did this, and you seem so wonderfully honest. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to everyone.

[donze52]

@electricfemale

thanks for kind word

keep safe and warm

[bogey1911]

Google "Battle of Saumur" I believe these are the french cadets to which he refers. There is no mention of .22 caliber weapons. There were 700 cadets, not 300 and they actually had mortars, tanks and machine guns (not many)

[donze52]

@bogey1911

thanks for your imput, I told the story as I was told, by our friends from France.

I hope they had it right, just as Alamo has different versions, I will use the one told.

She is a History teacher over there-- as she said it was high school age boys, hard to think they and tanks and machine guns at the school. 22 cal practice rifle sure seem to fit her story line, Perhaps the gun makers would not like it known just how deadly a 22 rifle can be? History does lie so often:

[nobeefstew4u]

Cool story bro!

[donze52]

@nobeefstew4u

thanks for contact keep safe

[MONNIEHOLT]

Thank you for the history listen, never herd about the 300 men holding off the Germans with only 22 rifles

[donze52]

@MONNIEHOLT

single shot 22 cal, rifles,

yep 300 cadet boys for 3 weeks,

against Machine guns and the famous 8 MM bolt action rifle.

no numbers are known of the dead germans, but all 300 kids were killed.

22 cal, is a deadly weapon within it range limit, and you can carry a brick of 500 rounds easily in your pocket.

keep safe

[Morbo878]

Make fun of a .22 ? Hardly, If that little chunk of lead enters the skull it's gonna ricochet around in there and turn the brain into mush. Anywhere it hits bone the results are gonna be nasty.

[donze52]

@Morbo878

Even a 22 pellet rifle has put a tons of food on poor peoples plates.

keep you and your safe

[joehen5]

They should make that into a movie it would be very interesting.

[donze52]

@joehen5

Our Friend come over from Paris and they spoke of it to me.

then I double checked with history book.

sadly some said it was a waste for them to not give in.

no one here says Alamo was a waste!!!!!!

keep safe

[Fire23eater]

America has more crime AND more guns than any other nation in the world. Coincidence? I think not.

[donze52]

@Fire23eater

thanks for your comment

but truth is for everyone killed with a gun, 40 die from smoking

20 die from car accidents

we hope to stop all violence

I as a street preacher for 28 years works hard for the goal.

see my film (How to get rid of a bad Nieghbor)

keep safe

[Grogz40]

@Fire23eater We in the U.S. may have more guns, but far from the most crime. Try living in South Africa or many countries in Central and South America that make us look like a Sunay afternoon picnic. And with the highly increased sales in firearms and CCW, CHLs being given, crime rate has been on a decline since the turn of the century. Source, FBI and UNODC.

[254tom]

@Fire23eater More people die fromdoctors actions than firearms. Are you going to ban doctors? How about the number of people killed by drunk drivers, and still any person 21 or older can buy and drink and if he wants, he can drive. SO YOUR POINT IS MUTE!!!!

[smirkingjack]

Ruger 10/22 tool of choice... I also have a bushmaster Ar-15 but try to carry 2000 or more .223 rounds with you for an extended period of time I could fit 2000 .22 rounds in my back pack with little effort

[donze52]

@smirkingjack

and a 22 will force head down at 300 yards,

and 95% of all combat deaths from rifles are within 250 yards.

so except for snipers you are GOLD.

thanks for imput keep safe.

[rohawaha]

Good video , the .22 rifle is vastly under rated . I bought one of the Remington 597s an outstanding tack drive after it became broke in. there is now a good choice of very high velocity

ammunition available that makes it even more deadly . Great all around game rifle.

[donze52]

@rohawaha

thanks for your kind words, and imput

you keep safe and healthy, this nation needs you

[CelticSouthland]

Young boys held out for three weeks, and no help from the military-- typical!

Expect the same in America soon.

[donze52]

@CelticSouthland

I wouldn't want to try to fight 300 youths with 22 cal rifles that were well dug in.

almost like the Alamo.

keep safe and pray our youth will never have to face that test, but fear I do.

keep safe

[donze52]

@parasitesarefunny

I will not allow you to honor Hitler, my father fought and saw many die

to defeat those who thought the Brown Shirts.

this video is on a simple 22 cal. Rifle, and how it is a safe fun tool, that if push comes to shove can fight in war. The Film has nothing to say about Jews pro or con.

keep safe in 2,012

[theschizoid1]

@parasitesarefunny Sieg Heil!

[lanceehansen]

@parasitesarefunny hitler was a coward

[dudespin]

That's amazing that you can see and hit a prairie dog at 150 yards. At the range I cannot see a playing card at 100 yards. I have not tried hitting a playing card at 100 yards with open sights. My wife and I hit playing cards at 100 yards with a scope - Marlin .22 bolt action and Mossberg 702 Plinkster .22 auto loader.

[donze52]

@dudespin

guess out here when you can see 5 miles on a good day, few hundred yards dont seem like much. yep their dots setting on their mounds or runing from hole to hole

wife is better than I am, once you get on and into it, the impossible is doable.

now the first time I ever saw a big caliber shoot parrie dogs, I was shocked, they were taking them on out to 300 yard with scope, it happened to be a young man with a 270 Win. Keep your self and family safe and keep your weapons rights.

[jaunius112]

Holy shit your knife skills kick ass

[donze52]

@jaunius112

as soon as I was adopted, my dad who fought in WW II under Patton

Africa worked with me, used a screw driver while learning so wouldnt get cut.

glad you like it, keep yourself safe, and

might check out video I made ( late night 4 inch against 12 inch knife)

[peeringthrough]

Great video and I fully agree. I regretfully sold my Ruger 10/22 semi auto to get a smaller pistol. I'm going to buy one again. I would not trust a .22 pistol for killing power. But with the velocity of the round being greater coming out of a rifle it has much more killing/stopping power.

[donze52]

@peeringthrough

rifle has more stoppnig power, and is a safer home defense with a little wisdom taught to all who live and come there.

thanks for contact. keep warm

[donze52]

@Paulpunkrocks

yep that would do it, forgive me a number of friends owned that weapon back in the 1970's and it seemed to jam all the time.  hope yours is better.

my wife and I like single shots. take our time and make every shot count.

but blast away if you got the money and enjoy it.

have a safe 2,012

[Paulpunkrocks]

@donze52 Current Ruger model works great, I've heard of the larger magazines jamming but my stock 10 round magazine works flawlessly. I also buy the walmart .22 federal ammo which is like $18/550 rounds which works out to be $.03 per round so I'd say that calls for some day long shooting!

[donze52]

@Paulpunkrocks

back then they only had 10 round clips. so hope they fixed the problem.

happy plinking.

[goodinsrt8]

great video, but 800 yards? come on now

[donze52]

@goodinsrt8

the ammo box says a mile, can't get close in my own tests

you try. best we did was that range

course different round fly longer,but for sure no energy

still got a little at 250 yards but after that, it is just flying

thanks for contact

[goodinsrt8]

@donze52 ive shot my 22 at 100 yards and its quite a drop at that close. Same with 5.56 out of the m16, it drops quite a bit at 500 yards. I would love to see a video of a .22 past 400 yards.

[donze52]

@goodinsrt8

yep it is on my to do list down the road and time and wife allow.

now we on our test years ago, used a fresh plowed field and two 4 by 8 sheets of ply wood. Started at 300 yards. and backed up.

a guy a hunter safety guy had preached to the kids that a 22 would go a mile.

well any fool would know that aint right, so I bet him $100. now my GOD does not allow gamble so I let him off with $50 bill after I won, and gave the winnings to charity.

[goodinsrt8]

@donze52 haha, it might go a mile if you aim up at a 45 degree angle

[donze52]

@goodinsrt8

How do you think I got 800 yards? aint sure of 45 degree but was truly lobbing it from a bench rest. No mile in that round in my tests, but try it yourself some time.

we also tested over water, not safe but we were young and stupid back then.

it is on my to do list to make a video some time.

keep safe and check out my video (How to make Glue a Weapon)

[amyhuk]

@goodinsrt8 i have to aim BELOW a bottle at 100 yards. max effective range is bout 200 yards for .22

[donze52]

@amyhuk

I would push that range back to near 300 yard, but in my tests

about 800 it max, do you own tests though, as there are so many 22 bullets these days some might push a bit farther. still aint going to hit a mile.

keep you action open and your shooting glasses on.

[matao87]

Excellent video that brings up numerous great points! I prefer a semi-auto 22lr, but that is my choice. I have a Marlin 60 and Phoenix Arms Hp22 in addition to the bigger toys.

[donze52]

@matao87

freedom means you get to buy and keep what you want,

I hope the G men back off and in fact give us back many rights

they have taken-- keep safe and the ammo dry

[CptSmokeAlot]

Let's just be real. Noone wants to get shot. Regardless of caliber.

[donze52]

@CptSmokeAlot

wise man you be, all the video's goal was to show you need

not a machine gun nor an 458 Win. to defend yourself with.

thanks for the contact

[theatwo]

@donze52 Great to hear your story about those french young men, brave. I was shot by a 22 short by a poacher in Angola. Very disagreeable experience, it fail to knock me to the ground but it did lay me up for a fortknight. Happily know one was killed in that incident. Since coming to the states I have acquired a browning T-bolt and really enjoy the rifle.

[donze52]

@theatwo

glad you survived, those French cadets made german high powered rifle and machine guns unable to storm the fort till tanks showed up. all 300 were killed.

glad you like to shoot, try CB caps, so quite yet go threw a inch pine board, much better than a pellet gun, be safe in 2,012

[4545joedirt]

i went with an old Mosin Nagant...a $100 rifle that shoots 7.62x54r bullets. it will kill bigger animals and can shoot longer distances

[donze52]

@4545joedirt

you have to make up your own mind,

we went with small lite wieght, and deadly to about 200 yards.

yep you got a gun that can reach way out there, noise however says here I am.

I pray niether you nor I have to use our weapons to fight for our lives.

have a perfect year

[cowboy836]

i say get a henry .22mag

[donze52]

@cowboy836

an mag is a nice weapon, wife has one, but for a cheap weapon

that is deadly accurate and deadly on small game and if America falls.

a 22 rim fire can take a deer, even a cow.

have a safe holiday

[pajax6]

Good single shot .22 rifles are not that common now. Remington, Winchester, and others use to make them. I like the Remington the best. I bought one and gave it to my brother in law. Now I can't find them.

[donze52]

@pajax6

back maybe 30 years ago, I saw them quite often at yard sales for $25 to 35 dollars.

now that I wish I had a couple extra, they are no where to be found.

wife has two, a rolling block, 22 and the bolt action you see on film. but both are nearing 40 years old.

I have many tell me they are giving up firearms and going to gas powered pellet guns.

I own a bb pistol that I use for rattlers but until I am forced to give up firearms, will not go there.

[TheCarver016]

@DrunkMunkyy , ill bet if someone pulled a .22 anything on you, you would probably crap yourself. In america more people are killed by .22's than anything else because it's an underestimated round.

[majinboo75]

@DrunkMunkyy lol how about we try it you come ate me with a knife and i will have a bolt act 22 rifle with 10 round tube lets see how far you make it ate me with your knife lol not far

[donze52]

@DrunkMunkyy

Here in McCook population of 8,000 people, I know of 5 people in 38 years killed by a 22 cal round.

Not one was shot twice.

as for no stopping power a 22 is more than enough, a BB gun can stop an attack. Local woman used a gas powered BB gun in the face of a rapist. Didn't kill him but he did not finish the attack.

final note, on the ranch I work part time at, they have me kill sick well over 1,000 pound cows and bulls to put them out of their pain. Only one 22 cal round..

[monstarmarkum]

you dont have to just do single shot but use what you got for sure and dont overlook them. i know if i were hit by a 22 i might think twice about messing with you lol. i think a 22 would work great for changeing a bad guys mind lol good for small game hunting also dirt cheep ammo good multi roll gun

[donze52]

@monstarmarkum

Yep use what you got, was just putting the info about 22 cal.

as a all around weapon that is all to often over looked.

including as a weapon of war.

thanks for imput keep safe this winter

[BAGboy0032]

i agree. the whole art of owning/using a single shot has been shunned by all the lightning fast repeaters and autos of today. i remember as a kid i hated pumping my bb gun even but that taught me to treat every round as though it were my last. everyone should learn on a single shot.

[donze52]

@BAGboy0032

you said a mouth full, so many including cops and Army think the only way to kill

is to empty clips of ammo at a target. If they had to pay for that ammo their selves

bet they would flip the lever to shoot one shot at a time.

Thanks for your imput have a safe holiday season and a good year to come.

[Frontierblues]

Love my new Henry lever action 22!!!!!!!!!!!

[donze52]

@Frontierblues

Now that is a weapon, it will give you a life time of

entertainment, use safety first and last, and all is GOLD

have a safe holiday

[NorthRainProductions]

I have a Marlin 81 from the 1980's that I have taken everything short of a deer with over the years. Thank you, I agree completely with your opinion because I have it for my survival rifle.

[mumbleye]

single shot anything should be discontinued unless it's a cannon

[donze52]

@mumbleye

we agree to disagree, in fact I wish cops would go back to

revolvers or like county sherrif when I was a kid carried

a double barrel 22 mag derringer. and nothing else, save a

shot gun in the trunk of his car.

I love single shots, one shot one kill, instead of

the 1,500 rounds to kill an enemy in vietnam. or are you

to young to have been there.

thanks though for your imput, have a perfect Christmas

[BushcraftOnFire]

Excellent video Bro.. Well done!

[disclosurenow9]

I think it is the single shot bolt action which rules it out more so than the low caliber as a self defense weapon. What if you miss? Or you hit the intruder and he is armed as well? I think a 12 gauge pump action is a much better home defense weapon - only about 300 bucks purchased new. Agreed your point that a well placed 22 round is deadly and it is a good weapon and tool for the homestead, but as I said I think a 12 gauge pump is your best bang for the buck on home defense. Peace.

[disclosurenow9]

@disclosurenow9 Just wanted to add. My dogs are just as valuable if not more so. Pay a visit to your humane society and visit death row. You might find a misunderstood dog who will love you and defend you for the rest of his life.

[donze52]

@disclosurenow9

12 gauge does make a mess, for sure, seen once a hunter that dropped one and got shot in the guts.

as for defense. the odds are only 3 out of a thousand that you will have to fight for your life,

but on a day after dollar dies, all bets are off.

the single shot with CB caps will allow quite taking of game and defence equal to a firearm with a silencer at close range. is it perfect no even, but it is an option.

thanks for the contact.

[transdetendal]

@donze52 deffenetly the wy to go,you dont need stopping power,its only psycic,and well plced shot is the best game. where i live ,guns re strictly forbidden unles its for sports or law, but gang members are still getting them and play tuff,they arent. pull a gun to show off isnt the same as using one.one shot,one kill (he´ll get spooked enyway)

[JulietBravoZulu]

Very interesting story about those French cadets. It's so true that the power of the .22 is underestimated. My dad told me that when he was in junior high, he knew a kid who had gone rabbit hunting with his dad and a friend. Someone got trigger happy and didn't make sure of their target, and the kid ended up getting shot. He was hit in one of his lungs and died right there. Lots of people of humble means have kept and successfully used them for protection. The .22 can and will kill.

[donze52]

@JulietBravoZulu

thanks for contact, yep sad to say a bullet has no mercy even a little 22 cal.

but a people can also be killed or have their lives destoryed by BB guns. from just an eye put out

to a temple shot that kills. I have long said hunters safety should be required in all schools.

also consider a knife safety course

see my video ( Are their knives in your school)

[rsimeon77]

Once again another good and informative vid. keep up the great work Mr. Bill.

Wow that is one durable rifle. I was wondering who is the manufacturer of the rifle and the model of the rifle.

[donze52]

@rsimeon77

my wife's rifle is a harrington & Richardson Rifle (Pioneer) single shot

if memory serves me it was the second 22 rifle we owned, so we could both shoot

when plinking or shooting parrie Dogs for ranchers, that was good money back in the 1970's:

aint sure they even make such a tool, but bet there are plenty out there used.

thanks for contact.

[Colephus]

my dad gave me a 22 lever action browning i love it its acurate and holds quite a few rounds and cheap to shoot

[donze52]

@Colephus

WOW THAT IS A high dollar rifle, but cheap to shoot, for sure fun,

[Colephus]

@donze52 yes sir they are fun to shoot and r expensive now but my dad bought it from a guy whos wife was against guns but he loved them lol if she found a gun she wud threaten to divource him so he would sale them to my dad or one of his brothers they became good friends over the years hes unfortanitaly dead now my dad sayd i wouldve liked him so anyways my dad wound up paying like 175$ for it it might have been 275$ im not sure

[donze52]

@Colephus

dang guns are out of sight now days, not counting all the paper work, I at 12 years old bought my first shot gun

for $12.50 used, no paper work, but that was way back.

[Colephus]

@donze52 man i wish thats like half as much as you pay for a junky airsoft gun these days if i could buy guns for 12.50 with no paper work theres no tellin how many ide have

[donze52]

@Colephus

course that was getting 50 cents per fur, and mowing lawns for 75 cents (my mower my gas)

not counting a 12 hour day on the farm helping dad. no sports, just working the land and repairing

our old machinery,

[Colephus]

@donze52 Mr.Bill ive been watching alot of your videos lately and i realy like them ive watched a few where you minchened your tomahawk my uncle is a welder and hes a pretty nice guy so i asked him if he could make me a tomahawk and he sayd yeah so if i put a video up of it could you possibly have the time to watch it and tell me what you think Thanks, Colephus

[donze52]

@Colephus

proud to watch anything you make,

you'll find a tomahawk a get tool that the cops

don't go balistic over as quick as a gun nor knife these days.

never did win state, was one of my goals that I failed at.

maybe you can do what I couldn't?

[disclosurenow9]

@donze52 I saw some videos on youtube of making a tomahawk from a railrold spike. Makes perfect sense.

[Colephus]

@Colephus ok thank you ill try to put up a video of it this weekend

[Walterispyro]

I have an Henry repeating arms lever action 22. That my grandpa got me for Christmas of 09

[donze52]

@Walterispyro

remember a friend that had one but it was to costly for a son of a share cropper.

still my single shot 22 was perfect for trapping and putting game birds on the table.

[weponspec1682]

I have a 1921 savage steven 22. long rifle and it still looks and shots like it is brand new, i love a 22., i also have a iver johnson 32. revalver and it was made is 1906, and i also have single shot 12

[donze52]

@weponspec1682

I bought my wife for a wedding present a single shot rolling block 22

she shot the barrel out of it, tens of thousands of shells over our 38 years of marriage

hope you have as much luck in guns and women

[weponspec1682]

@donze52 lol, thanks

[skunedknuckle]

Just kidding . This is a real good video with good plain truth ! The military USED to try to tailor their rifles to great distances . Like 1000 yards . They have since came down to earth and realized that most engagements take place at 100 yards . A 22 is a FANTASTIC versatile weapon

[donze52]

@skunedknuckle

yep a good 22 is valuable a friend as you need most of the time

sadly many of the land owners I hunt points on, forbid firearms

so I carry a BB pistol or my old red rider BB rifle.

they also are worth the wieght in gold, they can kill a rattler at 20 feet

rather than trying to beat one to death at 4 foot.

[skunedknuckle]

what is a " dishonest " rifle?

[donze52]

@skunedknuckle

as for me, never met one, but assume if a elected official is pushing it

something must be wrong

thanks for contact

[jesse324able1]

Get the mosin nagant it's bullet is twice the size of an ak's and it's cheap

[donze52]

@jesse324able1

sorry this old man is not up on that weapon,

this video was only to show a cheap option that can defend as well as

collect food.

thanks for contact,

keep the G men off your trail and the hoods out of life

[79pensacola]

my gun was a ruger 10/22 a .22 rifle. but why would i use a varmit gun to shoot a full sized man? y would i take the risk? spend a few more dollars (because i would hope ur life and ur families life is worth the extra cost) and get a 12 gauge shotgun. the most versatile gun in the world and the most usefule home defense weapon u can get

[donze52]

@79pensacola

you speak wisdom but a shot gun is over kill for a man,

plus 500 --- 22 shells wieght is lot less to carry than 12 gauge,

as for 12 gauge each to his own,

I only point out dollar for dollar a good single shot 22 is impossible to beat for what it can do.

pray health and the wisdom to keep it for you an your family

[79pensacola]

@donze52 but good sir....... why risk shooting and trying to stop somebody with a small round? why not spend a few extra dollars and buy a heavier caliber? it's almost like playing russian roullette with ur own life!!!! not worth it sir. i've read many a situation where people used small calibers that wouldn't put somebody down and they guy murdered or raped the person at hand

[donze52]

@79pensacola

no problem use what you feel you need to, 22 cal. is for those of use who have used it, killed with it.and trust it,

hell on the farm we killed wounded cattle with one shot to put them out of their missery. that is a 1,000 pound animal.

always shoot for the head makes bullet proof vest worthless.

keep safe.

[Velocity4000fps]

.22 lr will kill you, a .22 mag and .17 hmr have even more killing power. For a small calibur rimfire round they are powerful, fun and cheap shooting.

[donze52]

@Velocity4000fps

thanks for contact, keep safe

[1234bogusname]

I know guys that think an AR15 is for home defense. Give me a break. Like you said 99% of the time a .22 is plenty, and you can afford to practice at the range.

[donze52]

@1234bogusname

for centuries a single shot gun put food on the table, defended families from animals or bad men

from stealing food supplies or forcing women to submit to evil.

Good thing about a single shot, the guy your fighting knows you will not shoot for the arm--

head shot is the only option, with bullet proof vest around

[79pensacola]

@1234bogusname good luck bringing a 200 plus pound man down with a varmit gun. haha

[wobblerbobbler]

@79pensacola really? you would be suprised with what it has killed

[79pensacola]

@wobblerbobbler really? so it's all about the bare minimum? ok well use that logic when somebody kicks ur door in. because the bare minimum is all u care about right? i don't think so

[nexivdr]

wonderful videos and information, I got an old winchester model 67. Found it in my Great Grandmas house after she passed away. Have not shot it yet tho I cleaned it up, Hopefully can use it and someday pass it down to my kid if I ever have one.

[donze52]

@nexivdr

hope you get to shoot and enjoy the old firearm, weapons can last for generations

as can tools, long live freedom.

[XxXDemynXxX]

Oh and mine cost me about 110 bucks so they are really cost efficient in our pathetic economy.

[XxXDemynXxX]

I have Marlin .22 semi auto with a 10+1 mag, love it to death you can buy a ruger 10/22 and customize it just about any way you can think of. Highly efficient gun if you had to kill a man with one it works the exact same as your high caliber rifles and pistols. Bullet types are numerous as he said, lead heads, brassheads, hollow-points, rat shot/bird shot, cb caps (despite the low powder can go straight through a birds breast) etc... I am a proud owner of a .22 great learners weapon as well.

[Shnotz45]

I have a 22 magnum, it is just awesome. Its very fun to shoot

[donze52]

@Shnotz45

yep owned one in my younger days, but costly little son of a gun, with more noise.

so our single shot gets us by save my wife's 30 06 for her dear hunts.

A good friend in WW II said once, that if the Japs had 22 mag rifles that we would still be fighting them

on those dam islands.

[bsax08]

Mr. Bill. You must be busy getting ready for the crop season. Where is the new video of the week at?

[donze52]

I have made near 120 films on youtube, and yes I do have dry spells. or time bites me,

changed over and got newer candy van, had old van for 9 years, was causing trouble.

this new one is 11 year old but runs and looks better and the public demands

nice stores or they will not come, can't blame them but hard to buy, my banker aint got

a sence of humor., am working on new stuff, maybe by the weekend, thanks for contact,

keep your blade and mind sharp but never your tongue

@donze52 Reckin bankers don't have sense of humors, probably to much of a risk for them to have. I am going on a dry spell as well soon. Next week I am moving back to my home land and I wont have internet for a while, I landed a job with a farmer and a crew building grain silos over the summer. Finally Mr. Bill, Nebraska is so close I can taste it. Good luck with the candy van, thanx for the contact. I am still hoping for a good tornado video. :)

@donze52 hey great lessons in your videos i cant help to notice your knife skills it would be great if you show us how you do those knife tricks with what i think you had an m1 bayonet i have 2 and would like to lean them

I haven't used a gun in years but I started with those flared led pellet guns (spring action) and then when I used a 22 I thought it was fabulous. I was pretty accurate with my dodgy pellet gun and the 22 was like a silver laser. I wasn't one of those kids who dreamt about being rambo I learned to make do with tools in front and that helps us be critcal yet highly functional, like you Mr. Bill. Peace

@oatstao

keep safe, the nation and your family and friends may

need your wisdom. yep jumping from pellet to 22 was like going from the stone age

to the age of iron. not perfect but heck of a lot better. still pellet has its place. In the 1950's we

the rambo of the day was dannel boone. my father was a share cropper and boy it hurt to see all the kids

with a fake coon skin hat and we couldn't afford one, finally did get one when I started hunting

and trapping.

excellent mr. bill, i love my .17 but i am gettin a .22 soon as ammo much cheaper to build up another home run on vids keep it up

[donze52]

@vestenamer

when I was able to shoot loud guns, I almost got a 17, but my gunsmith buddy

said the wind will kill your accuracy. So I jumped to the 30-06 for deer

and stayed with poor man's 22, I assume 17 ammo is higher than a kite.

[GSXRMark99]

your knife handling skills in the beginning of the video were very impressive, VERY nice MR BILL!!

[donze52]

@GSXRMark99

being an only kid on the farm, I always had a screw driver and throwing and spinning it.

made some hard cash in school and college kicking know it all knife throwers. only beaten once

by a guy, after wards as he walked away, I said who are you, all he said was Navy Seal, with my cash in his hand, may make a video some time of fast draw knife throwing, able to beat a gun for speed.

[GOBRAGH2]

As far as affordable shooting goes what is your opinion of using bows and arrows as a survival weapon?

[donze52]

@GOBRAGH2

see my video on

bow less arrow

I do have a one dollar bow also from yard sale, good tool to own as you can always make

your own arrows. just remember G men consider them firearms and all laws acordingly.

ive hit at 300m with my .22 magnum with open sights,bes gun ive ever seen.

[donze52]

@77ikill

never owned a 22 mag, rifle, had when I was a kid, see the nieghbor shoot a deer with a 22 mag, not quite legal back then, but one shot did the job. and his family needed the meat, as they got hailed out that year.

My Uncle said he was glad he didn't face the japs with 22 mag rifles. good little pump would have made it a lot harder to take those islands. My uncle was wounded and never the same, by a jap bullet.

[dsgr2003]

I very much enjoy your stories sir, thank you!

[donze52]

@dsgr2003

HELL i aint no sir, just an old man with a hobby of videos, using my life and people I have met

hope you when your in the mood check out my stuff. thanks for contact.

[flipr7]

wow 150yds and open sights thats dam good its hard to beat the 22 for the price of ammo and good for practice for the bigger guns

[donze52]

@flipr7

I hunted and trapped as a kid in the 1960's so ya I can shoot, but know of other like sarge that can

shoot rings around me, he took my gun and knocked the sights looses and said now shoot,

he taught me to shoot first shot to watch the hit, then the second shot you ajust and hit the target.
