    Hunting & Fishing I'm getting soft-hearted...

    Ran over a bunny today while mowing. For just a second, I felt something...something strange...for a moment I thought it might be remorse...but then I realized it was just the sensation of my blades chopping his furry little body in half. Haha. Seriously though..I really did feel bad about...

    Hey all, I'm looking to buy a handgun for my fiance to carry in the near future. My prerequisites are: 9mm Small enough to carry comfortably all day, every day. No external safeties. Preferably DAO; I'm a revolver guy myself. Durable enough to practice with fairly frequently. She is not an...

    Help! Injured quadriceps/ vastus lateralis?

    Went ice skating three weeks ago today. Suffice to say, I skate hard. Felt great afterwards but my knee started swelling the next day. Within 4 days my vastus lateralis (I think...? Outside of quad muscle group) was swollen to 5x normal size right above my knee and I lost the mobility necessary...

    Best of the "bulks"?

    Tried out 4 different flavors of cheap .22 LR ammo this afternoon. All 10 shot groups @ 50 yards fired from my Savage Mark 2-FV using bipod and rear sandbags. NOTE: I did not take time for foulers between groups as I was freezing my butt off. Hardly conclusive, but here are my initial...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns "Flashbang" Womens' Concealed Carry System?

    Have any of you seen these or had female friends that have used them? I have gone through a couple different ideas and still can't get my sister to carry even her Ruger LCP consistently..."Because it's soooo uncomfortable!" (Seriously!) IWB was declared "Too bulky! OMW; I look like I'm...

    Hunting & Fishing Rabbit Recipes?

    Hey all, Do any of you have a good rabbit recipe? I am cooking them in an iron skillet now, but, although the flavor is very good, the meat is a little tough. Dredging in salt/pepper/flour and then cooking in marsala wine gives a great flavor, btw! Here's the next victims for the pot...

    Hunting & Fishing PA Mentored Youth Program

    Hey all, Just spent an awesome morning taking my youngest bro (11) squirrel hunting for his very first time. This was done under PA's Mentored Youth Hunting program. I'll spare you the details, but, a kid that is too young to get a license can now hunt under the close supervision of an adult...

    Hunting & Fishing Short and Sweet G-Hog Hunt. (Graphic-ish...)

    Spring time means two things for me; groundhog hunting and crunch time for my college classes. I made a compromise between fun and study time and took a text book and rifle to the edge of a nice field this afternoon. Didn't get a lot of reading done in the time I was out, but I ended up having...

    Weight sort to cure .357 vertical stringing?

    Been trying to find a nice light target/varmint load for my 6" Ruger GP100 .357 Mag. Today I tested a few light loads of Unique behind a 158g SWC and found that I had good (for me) accuracy at about 4 grains;5 shots in 2.8" CTC @ 25 yards. I can live with this, but I couldn't help but be a...

    Reloading the M-160 108.5g.

    Greetings, I'm quite new to reloading, so forgive me if I'm way off-base here. I'm looking for a cheap bullet to reload for low-recoil trigger time and possible medium range groundhog/crow killing. Stumbled across these m160 108.5 grain pulled frangible bullets online for about $6/100 and was...

    Hunting & Fishing 165 v. 180 SGK?

    Hey ya'll, I've just started dabbling in reloading. I've perused the topics on .308 Win loads and I'm aware that the topic has been beaten to death and then propped up and beaten some more. But... I'm wondering if anyone has experience-based opinions on bullet weight selection for long range...

    Danger?

    Teaching a couple young ladies the basics of pistol shooting (since that's all I know about pistol shooting) using a NEF R92 D/A revolver. While one of them was shooting, I heard a very weak sounding shot so I quickly had her cease fire and hand me the firearm. The round had fired with only...

    Hunting & Fishing First handgun kill!

    Decided it was time to try something new, so I carried my Ruger GP100 loaded with .38's along while groundhog hunting this am. First kill was with the Mark II, 2nd was a youngster that offered a 15-yard head shot... 3rd kill of the morning was a 50 yard off-hand job with the .Mark II, and...

    I discover Wolf MT.

    Got some good trigger time in today, helping my little bro (15) work on getting his newly inherited BSA 4-16x40 Mildot sighted in on his Mark II-F, and recording/confirming clicks for my new Mueller APT and Velocitors out to 150. Also had a chance to try Wolf MT ammo out for accuracy, and found...

    Hunting & Fishing Favorite .22LR hunting load.

    Hey ya'll. Ran a search and couldn't find a thread on this topic. Was just struck by how stinkin' many rimmy hunting loads are on the market right now! Everything from Aguila 60g SSS's to 30g SuperMaximums @ 1750fps...Velocitors, Stingers, Mini-Mags...the list goes on for miles in either...

    Confused...

    Missed a "gimme" shot (110 yards. calm) at a woodchuck a few days ago using the Aguila 60g subsonic. Went to the range later to check my zero and got a nasty surprise. 9/10 shots @ 50 yards keyholed and group size tripled. This ammo had shot several acceptable (1.25-1.5") groups at 100 yards...

    Hunting & Fishing First 'chuck of 2010.

    Took my old deer hunting rig out to the range yesterday. Got sighted in 3 inches high at 100, test shot once at 200 and 300, then promptly missed a 35 yard shot at a woodchuck. :P There was enough brush I'm gonna blame it on that. Dumb shot to take. Then, this am I missed a 100 yard "gimme"...
