A friend and I went to Kolorado a few years back and while there we shot prairie dogs for a couple of days. Our guns were sighted in for elevation in piedmont N.C. roughly 700-800 elevation. we were hunting at about 5k elevation. We had no chrono with us but all of our shots were going 3-4...

I recently acquired a Springfield XDS .45. I was amazed at the inherent accuracy of this short bbl. handgun. It is just slightly less accurate than my full sized 5" .45's. Also, the trigger pull on this striker fired piece is a dream compared to most striker fired guns. Yes, I realize it...

I, as well, like my Springfield .45 XDS. It's as close to a perfect carry piece as you can get for the size. It hides well in an inside waste band holster. Even though it only holds a total of six rounds, eleven with spare mag. of five. It is 95% as accurate as my full size .45's. Can't...

I can relate! I'm 70 yrs. old and just had my left shoulder replaced with rod, ball joint and cup. the doctor said no more push ups or chin ups from now on. My ability to physically defend/protect myself has gone away. So young punks need to know that choosing to victimize me will be handled...

1.35 in. is not bad for 300. I predict you can close that group up with a little judicious critiquing of your platform and body positioning, npa, etc. Try more than 3 shots to arrive at a better average of what your barrel and load is capable of.

Hasn't caught you messin' around has she??

My CZ452 is the most accurate .22 I have ever shot. With either Wolf target or match extra it will deliver 3/8-1/2 all day long at 50yds. with match extra a constant 3/8". I have the same factory stock and do not feel inadequate using it. Also have the stock trigger. It could be a little...

^^^ Yes! more than 25 is personal choice, however most all the top shooters are going higher on their scope magnification. It's all about seeing the exact spot on the target you want your bullet to hit. ie; is it three inches left or five inches left? could be the difference between a 10 and a...

Pick the right bullet for expansion at your expected velocity. Keep in mind that the .458 magnum muzzle vel. is only 2200fps, but it's a sledgehammer! You also need to know the trajectory of your chosen round and keep your shots within that range.

If he was shooting at 200yds. he was probably missing the target. I owned a mini 14 for about 2 months,,,got rid of it. most of my handguns would outshoot that gun at 100yds. sad, sad, sad. If it was law enforcement it had to be low budget. No way an accurate shot could be taken with that gun...

Choot dat thing! Then when accuracy falls off clean it then....choot dat thing!

Physical punishment while angry only teaches violence. It looks too much like revenge. Need to keep open communication with the young person. It's the only way they will "hear" what you are saying. Screaming and ranting usually falls on deaf ears. If you can't maintain respect for each...

Personality. Some learn...some never learn. some go to prison because of it...some go more than once. it's mental deficiency. to those, I do not feel sorry for. It's their problem and by their choice. It's join the civil society or be corrected by civil society. Behavior in this country...

Typically, if you can see any paper between the hole and the ring it's the lesser value. If it touches the ring even slightly it's the higher value. I usually give the benefit of doubt, as well.

Remember when an American teenager living in Singapor spray painted several cars and got caught. the authorities sentenced him to be "caned" for his efforts. Our President, Mr. Clinton tried to intervene in the matter. I was never so imbarressed for my country. Why? because Singapor has a...

Sadly, most shooters do not practice enough on double action mode. True, single action is more finitely accurate, and, with a heavy recoiling handgun it's almost as quick to thumb back the hammer verses double action. I don't know where you are in your level of ability with recoil management...

I think the end results stink.

It appears that you are down to only two choices. If the .40 and .41mag. are your only short weapons, I would choose the .41 as long as it was double action. Practice with it on repeat aimed shots. I don't have a lot of faith in .40S&W as far as penetration is concerned. Most backwoods...

60gr. is probably going to be your limit. I attempted to sight in a Savage .22/250 for a friend that wanted ( I'm going by memory) 64 gr. bullets. No go! Could not get it to zero at a hundred. Now, keep in mind that different barrels handle bullets differently. But 1-14 is just not conducive...

I Hope I'm able to do "everything" right if and when the time comes to act as you describe, but, again, we tend to think in perfect terms. Most LE officers will say you are not fully in control of every situation. You say "start shooting immediately". with 30 or 40 civilains standing around...
