    What's the most stupid thing you've been told?

    I can remember once at our state range, on the 200 yard line, a guy with his GF is a few benches over shooting an AR. Eventually, he pulls out an 870 and starts launching slugs downrange. I can see and hear them slamming into the railroad ties on the berm in front of the pits. I asked him...

    Maggie’s And Then There Were None

    When I was in 7th grade, my Social Studies teacher was in his 70s, and in his last year of teaching as they were making him retire. Mr. Bradford was a WW1 vet, and supposedly had a steel plate in his head. We were not very respectful of him as he was old, and not as mentally sharp as the other...

    Is tumbling with stainless really what its claimed to be?

    I experimented with using all kinds of cheap/inexpensive media from various sources. Tried crushed walnut shells and different sizes of corn cob from the pet stores, and none really worked well. Larger size corn cob (trying not to have pieces stuck in flash holes) worked well for .38 and .45...

    Movie Theater Anyone Read A Good NON-Fiction Book Lately?

    I think I wrote these up in another thread here, but anyway, here's a few: Rogue Warrior, This was his first and the best of his books IMO. Point Man, story of a seal in VietNam, probably my favorite Marine Sniper, if you're here and you haven't read this, you should Feet Wet, stories from a...

    Best Way to Bore Sight Before Going to the Range?

    Not sure if I was unclear, but I meant actually firing at 50 yards being almost dead on at 200. So get yourself bore sighted, and then set up a target at 50 yards for actual live fire. A couple shots should get you within an inch or so, then you can go out to 200 yards and be almost dead on...

    Best Way to Bore Sight Before Going to the Range?

    I understand and agree with the sentiment that you don't want your neighbors to know you have firearms. I'm the same way. For me, I used to set my rifles up in the cleaning cradle (tipton), place it on my table, remove the bolt, and point it out the front window. Then pick something down the...

    Fantastic write-up and much respect to you and your family for making sure your FIL's remains got that kind of treatment.

    Why does this make me think of that scene from Joe Dirt?

    Movie Theater Wind River on Netflix

    Just watched this last night. Stars Jeremy Renner as a fish and game hunter that assists in a murder investigation on an indian reservation.Enough action and plot twists to keep it exciting. Predictable, but so are most movies. I liked it.

    Maggie’s What's Your View II

    Tucker, Every so often I am given an opportunity to see what living on a higher level would be. Now, with more time behind me than in front of me, I try not to let those lessons slip past me unappreciated. Thank you,

    K-Bars What Knife is in your pocket right now?

    I'm a big fan of the Spyderco knives as well, and have been carrying a Rookie for at least 20 years now. I own about 6 of them, two with G10 scales and the rest stainless. To me, its a perfect EDC folder. Funny, but looking it up it lists 1998 as the release date, but the guy that turned me on...

    Movie Theater Recommend books

    My main areas of interest tend to be military non-fiction. To that end, and in no particular order, here are what I can remember right now: Panzer Commander, kind of a memoir of Hans Von Luck and his years in the WWII german military Feet Wet, assorted stories from a guy in Naval aviation...

    Member Link Up Sheepdog Warrior - Upstate NY

    Could you please either post or PM me a link to the range? I'm a bit west of Albany and that sounds like someplace I'd like to visit.

    Question for Northern NJ Shooters...

    I remember that Greg. I shot once alongside Emil Praslic Jr in one of the early Carlos matches. He was a lot of fun and we had some good laughs in the pits pulling targets for that match. I shot in the MCL's Qualification Match one year following an invitation from a couple guys with the...

    Question for Northern NJ Shooters...

    I remember that match being run by the Marine Corps League, even before they moved it to October. Maybe that communication hasn't been completed as of the last update to the range schedule?
