Well, two things about boards are:

1. Some times the idea you're trying to express "behind" the written words doesn't come through the way the writer expects. Like sarcasm for example. When the writer is trying to use sarcasm to mean the oposite of what he/she is writing the reader may take it as truth because there is no voice tone or body language to gauge the remarks by.

2. Other times you get people that ARE insensitive and make demeaning or degrading remarks. 99 times out of a hundred this is because they have "issues" in their own lives of some fashion or another and you shouldn't let that get to you becuase it's not about you it's about them.

Now with that said, please feel free to ask anything. It not only helps you but it helps us. I know from personal experience that to truly learn a thing is to teach it. When I think I know something and I have to explain it or teach it to someone else it often sheds light on aspects I did not know or fully understand. Even the most experienced and learned person on any specific subject does not and can not "know it all."

And I'll add a quote from the man that showed me the ropes in reloading.

" if you come across a person that knows everything don't walk ... run away he'll get you killed"

Yeah im just starting in hunting too! Ive been on this bored for a little while!! Its a great place!! have fun and learn some things!

If you don't know the answer, then its not a stupid question. Everybody has to learn somewhere, some people just forget they had to learn, too. Its always better to ask questions and avoid mistakes than avoid questions and make mistakes.
