I got a Sawdust Jim board, and I've played on some nicer boards. I would recommend his boards for a beginner. The differences are mostly cosmetic. Negative...

Well, One thing I'm sure of is that you are a bunch of very good people here in this group. I'm impressed by the response that I've gotten. I want to get a...
... Well this is a great game that we all enjoy. We don't agree on which board is best. We don't even agree on which rules are best, but we all agree that...

... Nothing unsaid. Actually, I thought the Hilinski boards were more expensive, and I hadn't thought about them. Whenever the "which board" discussion comes ...

... Oh my. Oh. Oh.....oh....that's utterly beautiful. I hope someone buys that before I convince myself I need to.... ... Whatever happened to that? I...

You want to know about the burlap board, huh? Well, it was one of those things that just didn't work out right. It sits under one of my benches, and it...
... There is a start hole to hold the pegs before anyone has a score, and eight holes for scoring in. I forgot what mine looked like, and so took the ...

... D'oh! we've been doing it wrong! ... I really like it as well, as it prevents a fantastic round from winning the whole shooting match. I'll perhaps like it...
