Any special meaning to your handle or just a way to be distinguished from all the other bullet casting nuts? I stole it from a club name. An elder friend called his dinner group by that name. They all graduated from high school around the same year. All would get together along with their wives at an agreed location on Saturday night to swap lies. I started doing the same for several years. Be Well Brothers, the one, the only, the infamous RustyZipper!

My handle was as a result of PG Wodehouse's books Jeeves and Wooster, where Wooster belongs to one of those archetypal English clubs that happens to be called drones, a drone is the male bee and it does sweet fa around the hive except please itself.

Hence drone for me since about 2001

Handle is from riding old BMW bikes. Tried to wear out two R/90s but I wore out first, Don't feel safe riding anymore but do miss it. Bikes are gone, the handle and memories remain.

I actually have different handles on different forums, and after trying to be creative so many times I just used the name of our most recent pet rescue, Butters, and I'm his adoptive dad.

Shuz, prounced shoes, is a moniker given me back in the late 70's by the young scouts in our troop. My last name is Schueler, but some of the boys had a hard time pronouncing it so they called me Mr. Shuz. My son, who was in the troop, was called Little Shuz.

Pronounced it "Shuz" (like "cuz") since I didn't know better, now I do! Mine is my favorite caliber, anything 7mm.

Our river bottom and the western border of our property. My great grandfather moved here in 1911. I've lived here all my life and was the fourth generation to farm it.

Dates back to when New York was a Dutch colony. Boschloper is what they called the Daniel Boon types. Same thing as frontiersman.

TRK - my initials.

Cat Whisperer. My neighbors were panicking as their inside-cat got loose. It was raining. I found it shivering under the garage. The next day when I came over "Kitty" (it's name) came up to me - never done to others. SO, my neighbor (American Indian from a local tribe here in Virginia) called me Cat Whisperer - therefore it is MY Indian name.
