Hickok, you're the type of guy who can actually remember what you had for dinner last night. I appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos.. or lack thereof.
I just sat through 3 hours of your rambling, while the wife still slept and the house was quiet... Both carry guns are cleaned, dogs fed and walked, I'm now waiting for the roads to dry up to go ride the Harley! It's always a good day to start off with Hickok45! Thank you sir!
Most of my favorite memories of those days involved ways in which I made my students suffer! :-) I have more of those stories I'll share at later dates.
@@hickok45 I think I mentioned that my father was a teacher & had a personality much like yours. Oh... & plz do a vid on the Buntline. Preferably two of them. ;-) Wishing you and yours the very best in life.
April 19, 1775 “By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled, Here once the embattled farmers stood, And fired the shot heard round the world.”
Yes a very historically rich sad day. It's the date of the Waco standoff coming to a sad end. And it's the date of the Alfred P Murrah federal building bombing which drove Timothy McVeigh's anger over the Waco massacre for his motive for the OKC bombing. I remember I lived in small town open country 25 miles outside of the OKC area. I'm 34 now and I still remember were I was 3rd grade homeroom when we felt the power of the explosion. It shook things around and cracked some windows at a school that was 25 mi away from the blast. Everybody thought it was a sonic boom since tinker air Force Base is close by. But it wasn't
Thank you for talking about your father, the guns and the memories that he and you shared. Especially with it being so fresh. I’m sorry for your loss and I hope that gun brings many more smiles ❤️
I had my AK at the range one time and this older gentleman was telling me about his AK. About how it was his father in law's and he would always try to buy it and he never could. Before he passed away he said he could have it and that meant a lot to this guy. Well when he left a few minutes later I noticed he left his AK there. I waited around for hours waiting for him to show up. I decided that if he's not here by 3 I'm going home and will just have to come at the same time until I meet him again. His son showed up right at 3 when I was getting ready to leave, so I was able to return it.
showtime2629 Almost the same experience. Went to the range just East of Missoula, Mt. An older gentleman was shooting a smokepole a couple benches over. Just he and i. We talked a bit, he was visiting and just leaving on his way home in Oregon. After a bit of shooting, he packed up and left. A bit later i noticed his rifle still on the bench. I moved it over to my bench and racked my brain for his name or address or phone #, anything i could use to get in touch with him, to no avail. So i slowed down my firing, took my time, waking for him to return. After about a half hour i wrote a note i was going to post on the range bulletin board, and deciding to also notify the Range Officers, when he came racing up. What a relief, for both of us ! Good Karma ...
I did have an ad. good advice. my brother was shooting my semi shot gun and thought because the bolt hung open it was empty. Not. bolt was hung hup and as soon as touched it it went off.. he was young ,he knows now but it was scary!!!!
Loved the diddy on safety... good words... I am a pilot, former skydiver, and +50 year firearms enthusiast. In each of those endeavors, there is absolute responsibility on the part of the operator. Strict adherence to safety discipline is the prime weapon used to best assure a positive outcome.
I really appreciate when you just talk about things in general ; that's something I really miss in the world. You make a lot of sense compared to some other 'RUclipsrs' who never just talk generally the way you do. I agree with you that there is a lot of idiocy on RUclips that seems to serve no purpose other than fools acting like fools. Sure, I do like to laugh at some of them ( especially because I need a good laugh during these times ) but I look forward to seeing you and hearing what you have to say.
I totally agree! It's like having one of those really enjoyable conversations with an older (to me) feller who just knows a heck of a lot more than I do about stuff!
I lost my father on March 9th 2012. I’ve heard from many people that there are two times in a man’s life, with his father and without his father. Sorry to hear of his passing but it does help sharing memories or hobbies you had with him. I told my wife yesterday I was going to get one of my father’s old three screws out and shoot it this weekend. God bless and stay safe.
I live in rural Canada, and I'm glad I don't live in a big city. Happy to be able to shoot in my backyard as well. Nothing like yours though. Been to Tennessee and loved it. Cheers from across the border and hope this passes soon.
I'm blessed to still have my dad, I just started getting him into guns now that the covid-19 scare is going around here CA. I've been a gun nut since I was 21 when I first bought my Smith and Wesson 9mm. Now I own a bunch of rifles and handguns and shotguns. Still don't have a 1911 but that's my next purchase 👍
My condolences to you and to Hickok45 on the loss of your fathers. Lost my dad a year ago April 18th. He was 93. WWII vet. Served in the US Navy. Like Hickok, my dad was not that into guns, but damn could he shoot. Natural athlete. Great man who lived a good long life. Thanks for honoring your father, Hickok. Love listening to you wax on about life.
David m3 maniac You’ll storm Parliament with pitchforks and toilet tank lids once they’ve pushed you far enough. Imagine trying to stop a horde of multiple ant colonies with a rock... After that, you’ll collectively make a solemn oath. Never again. Til then my prayers go out to all my oppressed brethren across the pond.
What a wealth of knowledge you’ll be leaving to your grandson and someday his grandson. Can’t you hear them talking about it some day! My great grandfather did these videos and this is what he thought about this gun.
@Barry Austin We call them worse than that . they move in and start running petitions to make the farmers mow their hedge rows and fields just for starters. Then they start in on what kind of livestock they can have. I`ll say no more already mad myself mad.
@@RalphReagan I live in a city and it is kinda funny how people think here and how it's so different to mine . Im quite right wing and to just see how people think is funny to me just because of how different it is .
No i wanna move to small towns specifically because i hate big cities and their over reaching leadership. I’ll vote for personal sovereignty every time.
I love and enjoy some of my family air loom firearms dating back 100+ years ago. One of witch came from the Hatfield side , of the Hatfield and McCoys. I lost a very special uncle about 4 yeas ago to cancer, before he passed he gave me his first and favorite handgun be bought in 1983 . I was with him when be bought it and fired it for the first time, I have very vivid memories about that day, makes me smile when I shoot it now, bitter sweet kinda.
Bill, I , too, lost someone special to me, my father. His love was fishing and fine fishing gear. His last summer, I gave him a spinning rod and reel for Father's Day that was suitable for boat or jetty at 8' long with a medium tip. He spent every evening at the cove beach trying to catch something that was jumping after the fireflies. He had a hideout.25 cal. pistol for his boot that I never knew about, a leftover from his days as a State Trooper. My younger brother grabbed the gun, I kept the ammo as he didn't have a license and was reckless with firearms. I kept my distance from him measured in miles. I take my rod to the jetty and remember the good times as well.
Thank you for your videos and your willingness to share your life, thoughts and experience! It’s refreshing to watch someone that truly does there best to stay humble and truthful in life! Thanks a ton! Chad Lenz PS. Always something special about Daddy’s Gun!
Can't believe its been 16 weeks since you started these Sunday shootaround videos. Enjoy all your videos Hickok45 please keep sharing them with us. God bless.
Very cool family heirloom Hickock, I like it a lot. My mother-in-law has a hawes single action revolver in .22 Magnum. It's a great little shooter for an inexpensive gun, even back in the day. Unfortunately the gun brought up bad memories for my mother-in-law because it was held to her head by her alcoholic ex-husband back in the 80's. It took her a while to bring it out and show it to me the gun, but I was able to take it home and clean it up and make it safe to shoot. Eventually she overcame the bad memories attached to the gun and she shoots it regularly now. I had to explain to her it's not the firearms fault but the person behind it. Thanks again Hickock for all the years of great gun content!
hickok sunday shoot-a-round is always entertaining! I live in a medium size city. I would rather trade for more space out in the country where I can shoot in my back yard!
Hickok45, you are a breath of fresh air, no bravado displayed, I enjoy the easy way you teach about guns, ammo and shooting, your style is rare today. Thank you sir.
Can really sense the urgency since losing vyour father. I've lost mine at a much younger age and am distraught. You are a role model to me and we all appreciate what you are doing.
hey hickok! found your videos when I came into my found love for firearms, and I am so glad someone so wholesome, humble, real, honest, and genuine is at the forefront on youtube. and you keep to your true roots. subscribed, and liked.
This video is so explanatory to your character. You taught kids and really cared about the audience so when you make these videos that skill translates. I’m 22 and have learned so much from your channel since I was probably 15. Before anyone says it, I know he’s probably not going to see this but I think it needs to be said.
Came to the channel to watch gun's being shot over a year ago, it went from gun's to listening to you talk and just sucking up wisdom you are one of the coolest gun slingers on RUclips Peace Love and Respect Hickok 45
Great viewpoints, I think you're right about the small town advantage. I grew up on a farm in Oregon. My life these days is the opposite of that, but you can take the farm boy off the farm, but can't get the farm out of him!
started feeling sad when he went through the sponsors and said he was running out of time around the 30 mins mark...then saw how long the video was! haha! love this series!
Yeah, we're glad we can manage it for one month, but we wouldn't be able to do this for extended periods, not without just sinking into doing "cat videos." :-) Of course, we still post three or four a week anyway. That's enough Hickok45 gabbing for anybody! :-)
Glad you said yes to you tube. I very much enjoy my Sunday morning java, with my Glock 19 close by, watching my youtube friend Mr Hickok. And that's a sentiment for which I'm certain all of us Hickok followers would agree.
Mate im 40 from new zealand and your spiel is awesome! you come across as very grounded and protective of your environment.. Clearly intelligent and patriotic.. I like you mate.. Love from NZ
I really injoy your stories about teaching school thank you yes I was one of kids in school was Dyslexic had hard time understanding things reading but live full life work 35 years retired thanks for sharing stories be watching for more
Mister, you are really a good, old-school, knowledgeable gentleman, a genuine and a true part of a great generation with the qualifications we unfortunately do not have anymore. Thank you for your efforts and shooting (in both video and gun) these for our viewing. All the best.
Hello, H45. Happy to hear from you today. My grandpa is sick, yesterday I drove down just outside of Mountain City, TN to buy some fireworks. It is one of the few things that makes him laugh. Beautiful state you live in. Those type of fireworks are illegal back in VA.
Listening to you talk about TN and seeing you walk through the woods reminds me of my youth. I was born in DC, but moved to Bluefield, WV to live with my grandparents the month Kennedy was assassinated. We lived outside of town on 40 acres. I played in the woods constantly, had a pony and a dog, and loved every minute of it. No cable, internet, or video games. I had imagination and the woods. Live in Georgia now in a small town.
I like other gun channels but some of them get too crazy with editing. Hickok45 is just the real deal straight up with no fancy editing or BS and that’s one thing I truly love about his channel. I feel like I can relate to him more than other channels. Sootch00 is my second favorite but, Hickok45 is the king of gun channels no doubt.
Well You Sir are the BEST Tennessee person in my opinion 👏 You are a Mentor, a Historian, a Icon, a LEGEND 👏 God bless You ✝️🇺🇸✝️ 👍 Thumbs up 👍 Like 👍 👏
Flew up to Tennessee for my brother's wedding and fell in love with the beauty of its landscape also checked out the Smokey mountains wow talk about a Christmas postcard like view . I didn't want to leave. Maybe if I'm lucky enough to live that long I wouldn't mind retirement there.
I know what you mean about gunsmiths. When I lived in Dallas I took my Ruger American to a really good gunsmith to get a scope mounted. It took 6 months to get it back, so I missed that deer season. Last year I took my Mom's old Remington model 12 to have some repairs completed and get it completely refinished. It took 9 months to get it back; but, it was worth the wait. It must be nice to have a 6 month backlog of work when you are a very good reputable gunsmith.
It is 6:10 am man. Awake because of insomnia and the Wuhan. Was about to try and close my eyes, then Hickok happened. Guess I will get a coffee and grab a dirty gun to clean. The nerve! LOL. Stay safe and hang on to your rights!
I don't usually watch these but I did find it entertaining and informative! I usually want to see your gun evaluations, and related videos such as the holster videos you did, and an update of that series would probably be well received since there are changes going on in that area. Keep up the good work you are one of my most treasured channels! Gabby
Another great Sunday with Hickok45, shootin' the breeze. You have to get some troll silhouette targets on the range. These trolls always drop by and give you a thumbs down. Really, if they have a problem with you, they're a troll of the worst kind. Keep up the awesome videos and stay safe, we need you.
I look forward to every Sunday to see your next video, they help get me through this lockdown so thank you. Also if it is not too much trouble, could you do a video of the Pennsylvania/Kentucky long rifle please.
Born and raised in a small, lill town in North-East Texas, called “New York” (don’t tell no one), now live in Central Texas and love it, give me some space (land) leave me be with my guns and dogs, I’ll be a happy camper. 🤙🏼❤️🤠 God Bless Texas & America 🤠
Always enjoy your videos very informative and your dry humor adds to it, always learn something new on each video, and your correct on everyone's from Tennessee, Maury County To be exact!! All seniors will agree to be in that category if they have an indoor range and take SS CHECKS for ammo sales!!
Loved that he talked about "To Kill a Mockingbird"!!! One of my faves of all time! This man can shoot like that, and talk about great American literature! Wow! Hickock45 for Prez! Got my vote!
I always enjoy your shooting. I have hand tremors so I don't do lots of good target shooting these days. I still carry my LCP II. Keep up the good work, you are getting me through this insanity.
Thank you for your time Sir. Don't be anyone but your self. Mr Hickok 45 Sir I feel you are so popular is you are just yourself you never try to be what you are not. Thank you and John for all your hard work. P.S. I did enjoy your cleaning video this week!

No one cares were here to here about Hickock 45 . Not your dum wife sleeping and you riding your motorcycle. This is Hickock channel not yours
Love it when Hickok recalls some of his pedagogical experiences.

“By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.”
My God, the patriotism we have lost makes me so thankful for this community.
Yes a very historically rich sad day. It's the date of the Waco standoff coming to a sad end. And it's the date of the Alfred P Murrah federal building bombing which drove Timothy McVeigh's anger over the Waco massacre for his motive for the OKC bombing. I remember I lived in small town open country 25 miles outside of the OKC area. I'm 34 now and I still remember were I was 3rd grade homeroom when we felt the power of the explosion. It shook things around and cracked some windows at a school that was 25 mi away from the blast. Everybody thought it was a sonic boom since tinker air Force Base is close by. But it wasn't
Warren Osborne where are you from? I’m in the Harrah/Luther area

That's amazing
showtime2629 same experience only except didn’t return it 🤧
Eh kinda nice story, but I don't trust anyone with a fun whose forgetfully enough to just walk away from it in public
How do you know it was his son and not someone who was just lying
This touches me so deeply, him shooting his late father's favorite pistol.
God, family, and Hickok45! Life is good!!!
I did have an ad. good advice. my brother was shooting my semi shot gun and thought because the bolt hung open it was empty. Not. bolt was hung hup and as soon as touched it it went off.. he was young ,he knows now but it was scary!!!!

Sorry to hear about what happened over in Nova Scotia 18 people including an RCMP.
Seems like the government is looking into banning "assault" rifles.

This is the best episode of Hickok I’ve watched. Dude, more of this, PLEASE. You moved me here.
Man I love your conversations and just attitude and humor. You are my Spirit Guide!
I live out in the country. And we shoot on my property ALL THE TIME. God bless America.
The ones that moved away from my rural area are the ones that keep telling us we need to change
Thank you for bringing your fathers gun out I really enjoyed seeing you even though it malfunction
I’ve been spending more time on the ranch shooting during the last few weeks. And I’m enjoying it immensely.
Could you possibly be near Castroville Texas?

This guy talks so much sense, he should be considered a mentor to us all.
almost 5 million lets go you came such a long way keep pushing people show him love subscribe
Hello, H45. Happy to hear from you today. My grandpa is sick, yesterday I drove down just outside of Mountain City, TN to buy some fireworks. It is one of the few things that makes him laugh. Beautiful state you live in. Those type of fireworks are illegal back in VA.
Raised in southern california....we are now located in midwest....we love it
Nothing more American than a Colt 45 revolver!!!! Beautiful pistol.
I have to say I have learned a lot from watching you your videos are always good to watch keep up the good job mr Hickok45
Listening to you talk about TN and seeing you walk through the woods reminds me of my youth. I was born in DC, but moved to Bluefield, WV to live with my grandparents the month Kennedy was assassinated. We lived outside of town on 40 acres. I played in the woods constantly, had a pony and a dog, and loved every minute of it. No cable, internet, or video games. I had imagination and the woods. Live in Georgia now in a small town.
I like other gun channels but some of them get too crazy with editing. Hickok45 is just the real deal straight up with no fancy editing or BS and that’s one thing I truly love about his channel. I feel like I can relate to him more than other channels. Sootch00 is my second favorite but, Hickok45 is the king of gun channels no doubt.
I lived in CHICAGO for many years. I have been to LA and NY. I’m from TEXAS Originally and I LOVE Living in the Country.
THANK GOD I’m A
COUNTRY BOY
I remember the old “radio show” working the action and people trying to guess the firearm. The channel was so young but hasn’t changed
Well You Sir are the BEST Tennessee person in my opinion 👏 You are a Mentor, a Historian, a Icon, a LEGEND 👏 God bless You ✝️🇺🇸✝️ 👍 Thumbs up 👍 Like 👍 👏
Flew up to Tennessee for my brother's wedding and fell in love with the beauty of its landscape also checked out the Smokey mountains wow talk about a Christmas postcard like view . I didn't want to leave. Maybe if I'm lucky enough to live that long I wouldn't mind retirement there.
I’m in Virginia right beside you, keep up being a badass man I love your videos
One of the problems with being short is that they're the last ones to know it's raining! :)
I like your sound, I work in Television production and the ambient sound allows me to feel like I am back in the country again.
Always a pleasure listening to you. Thank you for the video! God Bless!
TENNESSEAN BY CHOICE!! ...My hero BUFORD PUSSER!! HOOAH!
I know what you mean about gunsmiths. When I lived in Dallas I took my Ruger American to a really good gunsmith to get a scope mounted. It took 6 months to get it back, so I missed that deer season. Last year I took my Mom's old Remington model 12 to have some repairs completed and get it completely refinished. It took 9 months to get it back; but, it was worth the wait. It must be nice to have a 6 month backlog of work when you are a very good reputable gunsmith.
It is 6:10 am man. Awake because of insomnia and the Wuhan. Was about to try and close my eyes, then Hickok happened. Guess I will get a coffee and grab a dirty gun to clean. The nerve! LOL.
Stay safe and hang on to your rights!
77Infidel research magnesium glycinate for the insomnia. It might be worth a look. Take care bubba.
@@kenycharles8600 Thank you much. Sleep habit is screwy, which cant be good for the longterm. I appreciate your comcern!
Same thing here. I just cannot sleep anymore. I was going to bed around 9:30pm before this virus. Anyways, goodluck to you.
😂😂 I just switched to night shift it's okay now
That’s a good idea, might have to become a new tradition
what of the greatest sunday shoot-a-rounds so far! the rambling is awesome!
You got to love how sweet Hickok is he is like every older person just staying on a totally unrelated topic
I don't usually watch these but I did find it entertaining and informative! I usually want to see your gun evaluations, and related videos such as the holster videos you did, and an update of that series would probably be well received since there are changes going on in that area. Keep up the good work you are one of my most treasured channels!

Another great Sunday with Hickok45, shootin' the breeze. You have to get some troll silhouette targets on the range. These trolls always drop by and give you a thumbs down. Really, if they have a problem with you, they're a troll of the worst kind. Keep up the awesome videos and stay safe, we need you.
I look forward to every Sunday to see your next video, they help get me through this lockdown so thank you. Also if it is not too much trouble, could you do a video of the Pennsylvania/Kentucky long rifle please.
Born and raised in a small, lill town in North-East Texas, called “New York” (don’t tell no one), now live in Central Texas and love it, give me some space (land) leave me be with my guns and dogs, I’ll be a happy camper. 🤙🏼❤️🤠 God Bless Texas & America 🤠
Got any hogs that need removing? Running low on pork from the last time I was down there.
Steve B Na, doing good, helps with my “moving target” practice 😜👍🏼🤠
Always enjoy your videos very informative and your dry humor adds to it, always learn something new on each video, and your correct on everyone's from Tennessee, Maury County To be exact!! All seniors will agree to be in that category if they have an indoor range and take SS CHECKS for ammo sales!!
Guns, philosophy and shooting lore...great keep it coming !
Hickok, weather says it was low 40* in middle Tennessee early this a.m. and you are outside wearing a long sleeve tee shirt!I would be shivering!
Hello from Sweden 🙋♂️🇸🇪
Lived in Clarksville Tennessee my last 4 years in the Army. Loved it and started to stay when I got out.
I love the long videos , I appreciate the informational aspect of the videos .
Loved that he talked about "To Kill a Mockingbird"!!! One of my faves of all time! This man can shoot like that, and talk about great American literature! Wow! Hickock45 for Prez! Got my vote!
Appreciate y’all from Texas ^^
Another informative shoot-a-round , I was able to finish a pot of coffee this time have a good week be safe always😁😁👍👍
I always enjoy your shooting. I have hand tremors so I don't do lots of good target shooting these days. I still carry my LCP II. Keep up the good work, you are getting me through this insanity.
I love your attitude towards life! I live in east TN by choice. ...Art
Carry on and stay safe Hickok45
