Seems like I never see any of y'all in the photo contest.

I identify yourself if you are in the The Firing Line Photo Contest.

CraigC · July 2, 2009, 10:13 AM

I dropped one in but, well.....let's just say that I don't agree with what most seem to vote for.

ClemBert · July 5, 2009, 09:09 AM

I'm kind of surprise more of you aren't posting your pics. Us soot lords need more representation over there.

Hawg · July 5, 2009, 10:58 AM

I'm with Craig. I don't care for most of the stuff the majority votes on. I doubt I care much for what the majority of soot lords would vote for. I may post one next month after I get my Hawken but I don't expect anybody to vote on it. Our stuff is too antiquated to garner many votes on a forum that caters to modern guns and younger shooters.

....and I'm convinced that most wouldn't know a good photo if it fell out of the sky and landed in their non-fat latte.

Smokin_Gun · July 5, 2009, 03:47 PM

I got one in there...

arcticap · July 5, 2009, 10:31 PM

A gun is only new once...good luck ClemBert.

Hawg · July 5, 2009, 10:50 PM

Some people keep them new all the time. I can't deal with that. I don't understand the mentality. If you want an investment buy art.

mykeal · July 6, 2009, 06:04 AM

Some consider their guns to be art. I may or may not agree, but what they do with them is none of my business.

That made my morning, thanks.

Looks like the 'soot lords' have been voting, good luck ClemBert.

grymster2007 · July 6, 2009, 10:37 AM

I need to take the time to shoot some better photos. I took a few of my '58, but I'm not happy enough with them to post in the contest.

Hawg · July 6, 2009, 11:59 AM

I'll bet there's a lot of boys with polyester toys that have hurt feelings right about now.

Nice 58 Clem

Yeah, but its still fun to look at y'all black powder firearms. I might vote for someone else's but it doesn't mean that I don't have an appreciation for what you have. It'd be nice though to see more participation from the black powder folk in the contest just to show the rest of them what a real firearm looks like.

Yeah, talkin about us like we ain't even here.

I see yall do have some more pics in this time around. I've already got the one in mind I'm voting for myself.

Hawg · July 6, 2009, 11:12 PM

I should have my Hawken close to the end of the month. If I can get a good background set up I may get it in before the deadline.

arcticap · July 10, 2009, 11:17 PM

Yahoo!
Chalk one up for the red, white & blue!

Guess there's an exception to every rule, huh Hawg?

'Ole Clem sure received the votes...

arcticap · July 11, 2009, 12:14 AM

The 1st place prizes aren't just being given away either, they really have to be earned. That photo contest competition is fierce!

**4V50 Gary** · July 11, 2009, 12:38 AM

Some of those photos are magazine quality.

**Shane Tuttle** · July 11, 2009, 12:54 AM

I can't argue that, Gary. I also think although not all of them may be up to mag quality, some pics garner some original ideas for backgrounds/layouts.

Got me there.

Prizes? Nobody said there was prizes.

arcticap · July 11, 2009, 02:43 AM

Yes, there's a monthly 1st prize awarded since that photo then becomes eligible for the photo of the year contest with the grand prize being the photo of the year award. They're recognition awards.

CraigC · August 16, 2009, 11:50 AM

Guess I've got some words to eat.....please pass the mustard.
