    Fix the Message

    As I have watched this thread unfold I am more confident that there is hope to move the needle. This sort of conversation is the right starting point even if many of us have a different perspective the approach. Implemented at the right time and in the right way most things mentioned here is a...

    Cleckners appearance on FOX

    Waorani- thanks for posting that. His book, a good read, is very straightforward and talks through the fundamentals. Though I have read it front to back I find myself picking it up and grabbing some random chapter to read as a refresher. Same thing for a number of Franks video's. Whether its...

    Cleckners appearance on FOX

    I was not able to grab the interview with Ryan Cleckner, from the NSSF, on FOX however it was well done. Articulate, to the point, well thought with relevant facts being presented. His credentials in the industry, his legal background and his ability to present himself well on camera make me...

    Hope Fed tax money is never used to bail this idiot state out.

    I get the idea and agree in part. With all due respect, there are so many states turning purple because people cut and run out of CA that they are exporting the crazy to other states. If Texas and Florida go liberal, and they are headed that way, then the entire US will be like CA. If those...

    Stopping a bear attack with a pistol, a compilation of events.

    A week ago, in Banff, I had turned off the trail and headed up the hill to get a better picture. After a few shots, heading down to the trail, a momma brown bear came out of a thicket with two babies onto the trail. Coming up the trail was a rainbow wearing dreadhead 'guide' and a herd of non...

    Gunsmithing Best way to drill large holes in steel

    I got the mill drill some time ago from an old guy that wanted someone to want his stuff rather than just sell it off. I was lucky to get it but its on the older smaller range of mill drills. I wont go much more than 1 1/8" and if I want to radius anything it would be pretty rare. The rein and...

    Gunsmithing Best way to drill large holes in steel

    Thanks folks. Not sure how I went so long before hearing about them but I will get some ordered after my next check. From the you tube video's it looks like these will work really well and the clean up time alone should make it worth it. I will start looking around for local people that...

    Gunsmithing Best way to drill large holes in steel

    Yep, this is why the Hide is great. I should have mentioned that I am making bits(the kind that go in a horses mouth). I cant afford a bunch of new equipment but do have one of those combo mill/drills. I could do each shank one at a time, one hole at the top and one hole at the bottom, but if...

    Gunsmithing Best way to drill large holes in steel

    I know.....this is not exactly a gun smithing question but I could use some help from the experts here. I frequently drill holes up to 1 1/4" and find that if I step up in drill size that the holes drift from the original starting point. If I use a hole saw there is a lot of clean up in the cut...

    Hello from CA!

    Welcome Bobby. If you ever get up to the Sacramento area the Sac Valley shooting center is a good place to meet other shooters. Its a bit outside of Sac but generally worth the travel time. On periodic Saturdays they have a free class that you can sign up for that is very instructional. I think...

    Cowboy boot companies

    I guess it depends on what you want to do with them and what you expect out of them. Nothing wrong with Ariats. If my memory serves me I think they started out as a company making English boots and that they were started by a couple of women that knew each other from someplace like Cal or...

    What does a young talented MMA fighter have to do with Trump?

    This kid is about 25. Trump is not This kid is British. Trump is not This kid is talented at MMA. Trump is not The only thing I think they have in common is that their skin is on the lighter shade of the spectrum. And that seems to be enough for Snoop Dog to want this kid to take a beating and...

    Gun Cleaning

    I guess that depends on the situation. I was outside of Reno a while ago and the wind was kicking up a fine sand. After a while things just went sideways with consistency and the bolt did not want to cycle as easily as normal. Not really a 'malfunction' but a quick wipe down sure helped. I...

    What to bring to the range?

    I think the guys have covered a lot of it and I like the idea of the medical stuff as 19dsniper points out. To answer your question....and not being sarcastic here.... go with a plan. If you are going to practice have a plan at least to start with. I try to start out each practice session with...

    Gun Cleaning

    There are a lot of great shooters with strong opinions that dont always align with each other. Having said that you might try following this video put out by the national shooting sport foundation with Ryan Cleckner. I think its practical, easy to do and is a great starting point for a rifle...

    Need ideas for a new tractor storage shed

    Given that you are going to build what you really need next year and only need a place to park things until that structure is up then building a 'pole barn' would be a good solution. 13 feet is a lot of snow so width is likely the biggest risk point. If you dont need a clear span then drop in a...

    Portland Makes The News......

    Most of its this. Last trip to Portland yielded 15 min of joy watching to stringy haired, pasty white, trolls with Qtip size arms throwing 'F' bombs at each other just prior to going to the ground in a melee of punches thrown with eyes closed. The reason for the hate?????? They got into an...

    John, great work and a smart way to solve for pressing the buckle. Smarter than my first approaches. If you haven't checked into the International Bit and Spur Makers Guild I would recommend them highly. International Guild of Bit and Spur Makers - Artists, and Hand-made Sale Items Lots of...
