I love to hunt morels and there are plenty of them in Fairfax if you just know where to look. My "secret" hunting ground is passed by thousands of cars every day. If you havent had them, too bad. They are especially good with a t-bone (with lots of fat!) right off the grill. This website has a Virginia message board: http://www.morels.com/

Squabbles aside, thank you all for your comments. After all considered, I think its time to end this program and let private enterprise take over. ConMan cant "manage" to find his behind with both hands anyway. Thanks again folks.

Tonight, my wife and daughter went out for some "power shopping" and left me alone for the first time in about 6 months.

Found it! You were right ITRADE. I stand corrected. (I still wouldnt want to be downrange from one) 50 Caliber Specs.

According to the U.S. Army, ball ammunition
Forum: Fairfax County General

Well...that was my own "guestimation". It would depend on bullet weight, wind, other factors. 30'-06 has range of about 7-8 miles so I figgerd probably more for .50. Havent looked at a ballistics table on that round and its been a few years since I read the "Guns & Ammo" articles. Will look it up later.
Forum: Fairfax County General

I believe 2500 yds is the "effective" range, so actual range could be 10 miles maybe. Love those rifles, but at that price I'd have to get a job to pay for it. Also would need a place to shoot that has plenty of space. Heard that ammo is $4.50-$5.00 PER ROUND! Here's a peek at the mfgr: http://www.barrettrifles.com/rifle_82.aspx

Pardon my cynicism, but it looks like an albatross in the works to me. I can understand why some would be willing to pay the toll in order to make more $$$$.

This project is a total waste of money. Then again, I have an "attitude" as a result of having lived one block off Columbia Pike, near Four Mile Run, for 20 years.

You will need a producer, director, camera operators, sound technician, etc. The more the merrier. Then there is the "talent" (the folks actually in front of the camera during shoots.)
