    Drone Shooting lessons

    this gets me back to the ol' college days when we would sit around and scheme how you might do this or that - all kinda crazy scenarios. we would also watch American Gladiator and hypothesize the best strategy to win each challenge. hypothetically, there would be 2 ways to clear the air. One...

    thanks, y'all. Diver - I see your point - I will play with what I have for a while - then maybe make the move to pneumatic. Now, a $600 pellet rifle? That will take some 'splainin to the wife.

    Fieldcraft anyone know of a good pellet gun discussion board?

    Hi - anyone know of a good pellet gun or air gun discussion board? [not airsoft.] I have just recently gotten a Ruger Air Hawk, and I am interested in mastering this thing, and working marksmanship skills in the meantime. I have browsed a bit, but I have not seen a site that jumps out at me as...

    Maggie’s best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

    short swimmer- I was in grad school abt 15 years ago with a young woman among my fellow students. All of us would chat about our undergrad degrees, and she talked about how she had gotten through undergrad on a swimming scholarship. I called BS: this woman is short, and, well, um, endowed...

    Maggie’s best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

    I don't understand these ppl who are motivated to make up these totally bogus stories about themselves. but I do know they exist. While in college, I had a summer job in a warehouse moving and loading water heaters. This one guy had been there forever driving a forklift. He had a new tall tale...

    Savage Axis .308 Extended Magazines?

    Somehow, someone needs to develop a list of savages according to magazine type. the savage 11s should generally use the same mag as axis, but the 11 hog hunter has a different magazine than the other 11s and the axis- and this type of info is not readily apparent from the savage website, or...

    Is anyone else worried?

    well, I agree with a lot of what is said here - and here are some reasons - we have a powerful economy - it can generate affordable firearms unlike ever before - so getting a fair rifle or a good rifle is much easier than 50 years ago -- people are more self-centered nowadays, especially since...

    270 Savage Axis as Beginner Sniper Rifle.

    Frank - Hello - since value is part of the deal, one option is to work on the trigger pull weight yourself. There are a lot of posts on the web regarding either clipping a coil or two off of the trigger spring, or replacing the trigger spring, and getting the trigger weight down to about 3 lbs...

    Hunting & Fishing Light Boots or Trail Running / Cross Training Shoes

    I began jogging when Forrest Gump did, I sold sneakers for 3 years, and my wife and I hiked to the bottom of the grand canyon and back within one day, on our honeymoon - oh, I was 6 weeks post-ACL surgery. Here are a few thoughts. Coolness comes from nylon fabric versus leather, and from lower...

    long-term attic storage of rifles, shotguns?

    I am in Houston. A dehumidifier is out of the question -right now, at 6:30AM, it is 75 F, and 92% humidity. Mostly, our 'attics' are not just the top floor of our homes, and is not part of the inside of the home, and so does not have a/c. Attic is basically open to the great out-doors. The good...

    long-term attic storage of rifles, shotguns?

    hi, everyone - to save space, and keep things less obvious, I am considering getting an in-wall rifle/shotgun storage cabinet, and mounting it in the attic. an unfinished attic that is fairly convenient to access (easy enough to access to show a visitor, but obviously not the place to store a HD...

    Are the supplies of surplus Mosin Nagants really dwindling? Or just sales hype?

    Hi - there are claims on the interwebs that the surplus stocks of the millions of Mosin Nagants are getting depleted. Is this true? Will they never be at $100 again? Or is this just sales hype - logically they have to run out some day, and the gun-grab-driven gun grab logically could have...

    Maggie’s Someone really wants this $6500 Costa M&P

    Gunbroker has a lot of things that get one bid, or get sold at one bid. I was not used to anything like that, from Ebay. I figured it was a fake bid made to serve one of two purposes: first to make an item look like the opening bid value is in the range of acceptable second to set some...

    Suppressors Looking for a 308 suppressor

    For the OP: I have no opinion, since I have no knowledge here. However, I support your idea of dropping the sound down to 22 vs 308 - psychologically, the sound of the 308 is inherently striking and alarming from a distance, while the 22 sound just does not draw the fearful, wary attention the...
