Got tired of the crappy sling on my heavy barrel 22mag so I decided to use up some paracord I had laying around. Double Soloman aka king cobra knots up top and worked out a couple singles too make over sized thumb loops, to a single Soloman terminating into a steel d-ring to a 1 inch webbing...

Finally connected on a life long goal of taking a turkey with my 22mag. To be honest I can't say why this has eluded me so long but it has been a long time coming. I took a day of work to take the rifle for a walk and scout some land for my son to take some squirrels in the afternoon. I met...

My FIL upgraded to a crossbow finally this spring and he blessed me with his old bow. I finally got around to tuning it for myself with a new whisker biscuit and set the sights up. Pretty happy with how it's shooting now so my youngest son asked me if I could hit a swinging apple "like that show...

So my wife and I were watching a documentary on the events following the boston bombing and at one point theres a guy armed with an iPhone filming the two chuckleheads lobbing lead at the law. I immediately thought, from that vantage point, taking the dorks out would have been childs play - at...

impressive operation. There's a new Mk X series rifle in the works currently in their catalog and I think you guys are gonna like the receiver ALOT. It helps that the facility is about 10 minutes from my place of work and think i might be pulling some scratch together to get a barrel for my...

A friend of mine is in the process of erecting a pole building on his farm in prep for the house build this summer. The pole building is essential for equipment storage during the build of the house and will essentially house a man-cave as well as other cool things. We've laid out some ground...

most of you guys may have already done similar to a tip that was dropped on me this year. My hunting partner and I had been practicing on water filled milk jugs on a pulley system this year, but to be honest we could not get any real speed on the targets. Both of us have become quite adept at...

Got in the woods around 630 and despite hearing alot of shooting, I didn't see much but a couple does being pushed fast by rutting bucks. Finally around non this guy striped out into a clearing, quartering away at a good clip. Finally reached three point of decision time so I sent one into the...

cub scout pack had a visit tonight from a local Marine recruiter, the kids had a blast asking tons of questions and our Marine did a great job deflecting all the weaponry questions from the kids who play too much MOH. the boys all took time during the meeting to make cards thanking the guys and...

got the call a few days ago that my wife's cousin's grandmother passed away. we knew she was old, and let's face it, we've been to more funerals in Kittanning over the past 8 years than i care to think about. later, we learned that the deceased was victim of a house fire. It was an unpleasant...

My merrel boots started leaking on me today and I realized the pvc uppers are separating from the soles. I want to patch with plastic epoxy but I am concerned with cracking as the boot flexed. What can I add to the loktite plastic epoxy to aid with flexion?

Went out with the 22mag today looking to put a couple large fox sq's in the freezer today. Stopped on stalk to survey when I heard a rustle in the standing corn... I spent the next 30 seconds face to face with a symmetrical 6x6 with long main beams. I raised my rifle to closely examine his rack...

just had an accident that could have fared MUCH worse than it did. for the past 2 years i've been using a 1/4 cup rubbermaid disposable cup as a powder transfer, keeping my dipping powder in this instead of dipping from the varget bottle. on my last charge today with only about 10 grains of...

just got back from camping with my 2 boys, wife and my parents for a couple days. Just a reminder to everyone to stay sharp with the flint and use it regularly, not just reserved for emergencies. This time i used each campfire as an opportunity to teach my oldest about firecraft with my...

I came across a Remington 1917 in 300WM, clean action, clean bore, actually a VERY clean gun overall. it has the enfield stamp on the receiver as well and my thought is that this is one of the rifles Enfield was contracted to make in early ww1? I know VERY little about the history of these...

boredom kicked in last nite...i should have been putting tile in the new shower renovation but had NO desire to mix thinset and cut porcelain again...so i repurposed an ice cream maker. the ice cream maker was bought from the local thrift store...was marked at 5 bucks, talked them down to 4...

http://www.youtube.com/user/RedTailsMovi...tails%20trailer looks fantastic...the story of the Tuskegee Airmen is and has always been one of my favorite bits of aviation history

now available in the 2012 catalog... given how my 308 shoots, and how alot of other folks are praising the accuracy of these rifles, the .223 is a welcome addition to the lineup. I personaly have no need for a larger rifle right now (although a 300WM would be NICCCE), the 223 is a game changer...

screwed up big and went out to get food for my shotty yesterday...shelves were picked clean. Finally found two boxes of hornady SST's for good price (12 bucks a box) so i snatched them up. Fired 2, they touch at 50 yards, adjusted scope to 1.5" high at 50, dead at 100 or close to it, and can...
