    Going to the Nra national convention?

    Sounds like fun. I have some friends that shoot ipsc. And went to the Single Stack Classic last year as a spectator.

    Going to the Nra national convention?

    I've never shot in competition, anywhere. And only once on an actual "range". Probably end up shooting myself in the foot....

    Going to the Nra national convention?

    Thanks for the offer. We'll probably be in and out pretty fast. Maybe get into town Friday and drive out Monday. I'll be staying at Porter with family. Not too far from the Thunder gun range if you've been. Might have to stop at Collector Arms again too.

    Going to the Nra national convention?

    We went to the one in St Louis last year, and had a blast. This year it's in Houston, and I have family there so we're going again. Anybody else going?

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    I shoot many thousands of 22's a year. I shoot my air rifle a few thousand times a year as well. Shooting either is very relaxing and enjoyable, but it depends what kind of mood I am in. Weather is generally my only real limiting factor. The older I get, the less I like sweating and freezing any...

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    I PMed you, but they don't show up in Sent Messages. If you can't see em, did you hunt at Strut and Rut? If so you were about 3 miles from my front door.

    I don't suppose it was for the Burgoo?

    Rifle Scopes Anybody useing the Vortex flip up covers?

    I never could remember to measure my scope so I could buy the BC's, that's why I ordered straight from Vortex. But I hear a lot of you guys sayin they're pretty flimsy, so I guess we'll se when they get here.

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    It's not my comment, every time someone around here asks what I have in my crosman, that's what they tell me. "Jesus boy, you coulda bought a Ruger for that much, and had money left for a scope, AND some ammo." Now most of them are farmers, and their idea of precision is hitting a coyote at...

    Rifle Scopes Anybody useing the Vortex flip up covers?

    A few weeks ago I ordered 2 sets of Vortex flip up scope covers for my Vipers. I got a backorder notification, and the ability to cancel. I thought I'd wait it out, but it's been awhile. Anybody got em? Are they worth the wait? Or should I cancel em, and buy something else?

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    Thanks, but the only matches the calendar will show me are in 09. I'm in the middle of nowhere. The closest decent range of any kind is PASA, at Barry. That's an hour away. The price I pay for living where I can shoot all I want is, I can't afford to shoot all I want. Life is full of...

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    It's hard not to think of it as "Just an airgun" when a $169.99 10/22 from walmart will accomplish 90% of what most common airguns will. Where I live, I can shoot every weapon I own, any day of the week. If I want to shoot that odd coon in the night with my 308, nobody would care. I have an...

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    If you can afford it, by all means, buy two. I'm just trying to show the other side of the coin. There is good performance to be had for a lot less cash. People screw up when they underpay, and they screw up when they overpay. I like the middle ground.

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    Both my wife and I make decent wages for our area. We inherited our home, which while free, needs a lot of work. That being said the EDgun posted above is more than I make in a MONTH. If I can't afford it, I imagine that there are a lot of other people that can't either. Ferrari makes one hell...

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    I appreciate the "Buy once, cry once" mindset. But a lot of us have a hard time justifying spending the price of a good rifle, or scope on an air gun. I'd love to buy a Airforce, AirArms, etc, but by the time I drop that kind of cash, I could have bought a pile of ammo, or a complete reloading...

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    Nothing special, but this is from my NPSS at about 40 yds if I recall correctly. It is the best group I've gotten from her yet. Not too bad for a $250 gun/scope combo. It's wearing a CenterPoint 3-9x40, and was shooting Crosman Premier Destroyers. Advertised at 1200fps, I haven't got a crony...

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    A friend talked me into trying air guns awhile back. Don't underestimate spring guns, gas or metallic. They can be extremely accurate. Optics are just as big a deal in air as powder. The spring guns are extremely finiky, but that has taught me tons more trigger control than anything else I...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns I Need A Good Machete

    For the price vs performance, I have several from Cold Steel. I had a Gerber Grylls model in my hand till I saw CHINA. I believe cold steels are made in Brazil. A small difference maybe, but a difference in my eye.

    Wtf? Friends haven't got time to come get raffle tickets for a Colt 6920.

    I probably do. I've been working on a "home improvement" project since Friday. I'm a little tense.
