Then I put the range rod down to make sure the patch and jag were down all the way and removed the rod. I shot into the ground and recovered my jag but the insert was banged up as it must have hit a rock.
I just got done putting a new end on the range rod and pinned it with a brass brad. Now it will never come off.
Dang Son!!!!!! Hope none of that bad luck can jump over the 'Net waves!!!!!!! I have enuf of my own!!!! At least you were able to recover part of it and not a total lost, that would be my luck!!! Was it a CVA nylon range rod? I have always wondered just how well they are made. I have 2. One just for back up.
