So no “Johnny jawing” in the end zone? I did hear Tebow was going pro again. . .

Back from a long hiatus. Can anyone update me on Johnny Football’s current status?

I am fairly confident that Eric Paddock (in that previously posted interview) was about to say that his brother was "an army of one" based on the context. I highly doubt it was any association with military or PTSD. He just knew that the media could run wild with that quote, so he backtracked.

And here I am blissfully running IOS 6.1.3 on my 4s :D I don't like change and don't understand the concept of an OS well enough to see any reason to "update". I didn't like the look of the icons of IOS 7 so I stuck with what I got. The Shooter app is the only reason I'm not still carrying a...

I have a personal property policy with SafeCo. It is $100k worth of coverage with a $500 deductible. Firearms are included, but they only pay up to $1500. For additional coverage on the more expensive firearms I simply "buy" a policy on each firearm at whatever I value them at. The individual...

I'm planning a 10/22 build and want to know what my options are for receivers. My search attempts didn't turn up much other than KIDD and MOA. What else is there? I don't have any criteria and I don't need to be persuaded to use a particular model. I'm open to anything and everything. I just...

.177 out of a worn out Beeman mostly. I've killed a couple with an old Crossman BB gun. Lots with .22 and .17HMR (probably my favorite). My grandfather insists that hunting squirrel with anything except a shotgun is too dangerous for the neighbors, so most of my childhood I killed them with .410...

I too was expecting the bullets to perform similarly to the HMR varmint bullets. As indicated by the exit wounds, something is different about the WSM. If I can get another box of ammo I'll fire off a few 200 yard groups. If I can achieve anything less than 2" I'll be surprised.... The cock on...

I vowed many years ago that I would never sell a firearm. If the WSM hangs around long enough for someone else to build something better than the B-Mag (pretty much any attempt would be better), then mine will be available at an extreme discount. I've gotten my dollars worth out of it just from...

The 17hmr V-max works beautifully on the noggin. It will punch through 3/16" mild steel plate (or a skull) like a laser beam. Then of course it fragments like a mother trucker. It is a pretty fascinating round to me. Anything that will punch through steel and come to pieces in a squirrel can...

Here is another coyote that the 17 WSM didn't kill. Over 100 yards away, full sprint, gut shot, dead in less than 50 yards.... I've never cut a coyote open to inspect the organ damage, but I just might have to see what this WSM is doing! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can buy 50 HMR for $13 and 20 .223 for $9 at best for the cheap shit with less desirable projectiles..... Not even close to the same. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I bought a shitty Savage B-mag and even I did not expect the 17WSM to be this capable. 285 yards, ~2mils holdover, 5mph crosswind (very little hold for wind, probably negligible), and this is the second shot I've fired at something that wasn't paper with this rifle. 2 shots, 2 dead critters...

17 WSM anybody tried it? I finally got around to throwing a scope on my B-mag and getting it sighted in. The rifle is complete shit. It really needs to be built on the 93 action or something similar. I've only put one box of rounds through it. If the rifle doesn't fall apart (which wouldn't...

I was out of town and my house was robbed, my guns stolen. Need some help. Back in college, a rifle was stolen out of my truck in my apartment building parking lot 200 miles away from the insured home. My parents' homeowner policy gave me a few bucks for it and a few other things that were...
