    Ranges leading up to deer season....

    All you can do is help those that you think need and deserve it (old timers having trouble, dads with kids failing to find a mark on target and planning on said kid hunting with that rifle, young adults trying to learn that actually listen for 3 good examples). The rest ignore, or if safety...

    what do you use to kill tree rats

    Ruger 10/22 with 4x scope has been my favorite for some time. Light, accurate enough, and fun. Head shots favored to 40 or 50 yards max range. Behind the shoulders works without messing up a lot of meat if the bag needs filled and your on a time limit, you can go out to about 75 yards with...

    Hunting & Fishing question about bow & arrow release

    The statement about pulling with your back is true, if you are having trouble drawing with a wrist strap: 1 you are pulling too much weight on the bow for you(lower the poundage), or 2 you need to practice with it more and hone your draw muscles and technique. With the efficiency of todays...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Replacement Gun

    I'm not a fan of endurance testing in everyday usage. Only a VERY small percentage of folks will be firing 1-2K of 45acp in a day. I was taught to clean my firearms frequently. Why leave it to chance?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Replacement Gun

    I love the internet. The beauty in a 1911's simplicity of function comes with its love of 230 grain hardball or 230 grain JHP in round nosed form. Throw bs like Truncated bullets/SWC's or 200 grain ashtrays with large open tips, and yeah some may malfunction. THEY WERE NEVER DESIGNED FOR...

    Everything your posting screams: "I need a 1911!" Post haste, find a Springfield Range Officer to fondle at about your listed price limit.

    Ebola virus patients are being transported from west Africa to Atlanta

    For those doubting Thompson's: How many times do you touch something someone else has touched in the last few minutes? Wal Mart, the bank. Any store you put a pin in for your card or pick up the pen to sign your receipt, whether digital or paper. Much flu and stomach virus is transmitted by...

    Ebola virus patients are being transported from west Africa to Atlanta

    I am stunned at the monumental stupidity involved in the decisions made in allowing this to happen. Auto accidents never happen do they? A few well meaning people at the accident site and then what? Spread it to here by accident and now not only do people drop dead, but can it survive in our...

    Leupold Spotter Question

    I thought the coatings were just anti reflective. There is an actual LFU/ARD combination unit that screws on the front end of the mark IV.

    Range Report Nosler LR Accubonds: BC testing results

    I have utilized your b.c. data in JBM's online data to get several shooters lined up with good data over the past few years and have found it to work great to out past 1000 yards reliably. (I show them how to use Lindy's method with JBM to make Density altitude cards). Thanks for responding &...

    Range Report Nosler LR Accubonds: BC testing results

    Brian, As the 210 velocity is a little slow for the caliber/weight, what sort of BC increase would we expect to see for a jump to 300 win mag velocity(+400-450 fps lets say). I know G7 BC's will change less than G1 BC's with change in velocity, but am not sure how much. Thanks for posting...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting with a .260

    Its amazing any animals ever died before the advent of bonded bullets and solids... It will take bonded and barnes bullets a LOOOOONG time if ever to catch up to the amount of animals killed by simple cup/core bullets. Its not the arrow in most cases. With cup/core its much more important to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 shooter Jinxed with G-17?

    Yes. And it was right on for him. Ameriglo sights installed by glock armorer with pusher and calipers showed center installation of original and replacements.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 shooter Jinxed with G-17?

    Well 700 rounds into this gun I have halved my problem and am hitting 3-4" just left most times at 25 yards. Still I cannot completely rid myself of this issue. Have dry fired a lot, but am a little frustrated to say the least. Had Brock shoot the pistol and he ran it just fine. I think my...

    Good, inexpensive chronograph?

    I have a shooting chrony Beta and it has shown itself to be as accurate as a CED and a magnetospeed. Also have seen an F1 work just as accurately. Unless you need advanced functions/capabilities I think you will be happy with one.

    Hunting & Fishing New hunting rifle idea

    56mm objective on a mountain hunting rifle = completely unnecessary height over bore, scope size and weight, and lack of return in cost of any measurable and usable advantage IMHO. 40mm or 50mm at largest should do anything you need and will make a better pointing rifle for quick shooting...

    best overall bolt action rifle for around $800?

    Ok, after seeing so many guys advocating beginners buying the the Mazzerati's of shooting when many of them haven't pulled a trigger 100 times yet, (and many have limited $$). I have to add my .02. Before even thinking about going 6/6.5 creedmore or 260 rem even do this: Go to your local...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 shooter Jinxed with G-17?

    I already raise my shoulders and push my elbows out a little when shooting for speed from previous shooting experience, it helps a lot. I have had mixed results this weekend. I dry fired a pile and shot another 100 Friday evening with a final target looking good with a 3" group centered at...

    Nice Vid Jered!!!! Quote from Jared upon showing him the dead yote' "oh yeah buddy, you just made primetime!!!" Great bunch of guys to hang out with all around this spring. Hopefully we can line up a match for this fall later this summer.

    PNTC is proud to announce The 1st Annual Trijicon / NRA World Shooting Championship

    Bump for a great time in the making. Can't wait for September to get here!!! (Other than I need to keep burning ammo at a financially ruinious rate to look like I belong there!)
