Those boars would do some damage if they hit you. Whats the recoil on the guns like? Must be pretty powerful to kill them in one hit.
you get used to it but for someone who has never fired a gun it would be pretty daunting - i mean both those rifles can take down deer, water buffalo (only just), scrub bulls are some medium sized african game. The good thing about using them against a pig is that you will pretty much annihilate it no matter where the bullet hits (middle of the torso is perfect) the .270 looks like this and the .30-06 is a little bigger This content is protected
For those that might not have read from the start of this thread the original format was Name: Location: Occupation: Fight experience: Favourite Boxer(s): Other interests: Happy for people to add other headings or for the informal interactive chat that has dominated the thread that sort to recreate a thread that was lost when ESB was wiped
Will add some time today. Although I like the headings, Hearing stories and just having a thread where posters can chat about general stuff is really good. Gives you a good idea of who you are talking too. But I don't want to hijack your thread either!
The purpose of the thread was to encourage people to chat about anything they wanted so anything goes
Name: Jarrod Location: Brisbane Occupation: Assistant Manager for a regional bank Fight experience: Did 2 years of hybrid wing chun, that taught BJJ and Muai Thai. Gradings were bare knuckle sparring, each round against new partners. Full contact, so pretty much like amatuer fights. Then did a couple years of boxing. I had trouble getting good sparring together, as I lived 40 minutes from the gym, and being white collar, finished later then everyone else. I could never get the consistent sparring that I needed to fight, so eventually I quit. Still, i got to spar some top amatuers and really get a feel for how hard the sport is. I am currently looking to train MMA as soon as I can get some cash together. I want/plan on fighting in the future, and I think MMA will be more suitable time wise for me, which will make a MASSIVE difference. Have trained Maui Thai for a brief period also. Favourite Boxer(s): This guy from Peurto Rico... Whats his name:think... Miguel Cotto :happy:happy:happy. Apart from that I like Juan Diaz, Manny Pac, Mikkel Kessler, Joe Calzaghe and Paul Williams Other interests: This one is fairly big. Love House music and clubbing. Love dance. Because electro house is a fairly new genre, it doesn't have a definitive style of dance. So basically I studied pop and lock, melbourne shuffle, top rock, slides and glides and adapted it to fit the beats of electro house music. I was going out clubbing like 4 times a week at one stage so I had plenty of time to practice. I love movies and fashion also... most of the arts really. Love my contact sports most of all. Other sports seem so meaningless now in comparison. My preference being boxing though, then MMA and then Maui Thai. I pretty much played every sport under the sun growing up, with pretty good success. Played internationally for field hockey on a couple of occasions. Represented my state a couple of times as well, and played at the top level. I love using ESB, because the internet is one of the best places to both give and recieve an honest opinion. I love the fact that you get to interact with people you otherwise never would, and get an international perspective on a range of events. As far as boxing goes got into it after doing martial arts. Sparred one of the posters here and got my arse handed to me... Realised I was wasting my time, and decided to do something more realistic. Doing martial arts was enough to bash my mates around in sparring based on aggression alone, but against someone who was trained it wasn't so much fun. Started watching footage of all the best modern guys, and after seeing Roy Jones JR in action for the first time I was hooked. Its a shame its not bigger in Australia, because I think if the general public were further educated about the science of the sport, they would embrace like we do most other sports.
Some OLD photos for you. I haven't taken anything in around a year now, so I will try and get some more recent stuff. But anyway.. Fire away:hat
As people would know gambling is an interest of mine. It is about the most cerebral thing I have ever done. I love the process of constructing alternate scenarios of future bases on logic and impassive analysis. I am batting with a 160 IQ so I enjoy putting it to the test and in a manner that has consequence if I don't execute the process with appropriate diligence. Betting is a great test of ones psychological disposition and analytical capacity. Only very rare people can make money out of gambling. I have made money from gambling and lost money. Over the past month I have lost $35k, two events constitute a fair share of this, betting a 1-39 winning margin on Sydney vs Brisbane and then the same bet type for Collingwood vs West Coast Eagle - both games were draws meaning that these bets lost. The probability of two consecutive draws is 0.04 per cent. That is gambling, it not emotional its just probabilities and expected return analysis. Betting is about choosing the path that delivers best value relative to the underlying probability as opposed to hoping a long shot will come off or a certainty will prevail.
It is interesting. I would love to start having the odd bett on the boxing once I get some more money behind me. 35K:yikes... Mine would probably be like $50. I take it you have had some pretty decent wins then also. You hit the casino up much? Educated gambling for the most part, which I don't mind, provided I keep the betting small. I hate lotto, pokies or anything that relies solely on random luck though.
Okay guys... now that those boring photos that I had already posted anyway are done and gone... PREPARE FOR THE SLUTS As soon as I buy my new digital I am going to go ****ing nuts. Will take it clubbing with me and get a shitload of pics and load them up. See what you think.
:think.. I find this interesting. I have never thought of gambling in this way. As soon as I get some cash will start to have a punt. What websites do you use? Are there any tips for a complete novice punter that you would care to share?
