I shot a 3-gun match yesterday. I can shoot with the top guys but I'm old and slow, both moving and loading. But I shoot for fun. It is a lot of fun. Been shooting with that club for years. when they throw in the time I'm normally in the bottom half. So they post the results on that with...

These are proposed rules being discussed by the CMP for their Service Rifle Matches. As a long time High Power Shooter, (38 years to be exact) and getting my DR badge with iron sights on an M14, I hate to see this. But in reality it makes sense. Service rifles are service rifles and our...

Maybe I'm dreaming, maybe not. I recently took a tour of the CMP ware houses while at the CMPs Advanced Maintenance Class. I was shown pallets after pallets of M1911s the Army turned over to the CMP because its cheaper to give them away then store of destroy them. The CMP has no info on what...

I won one of the Lottery slots for the CMP AMCs (Advanced Maintenance Clinics in Anniston Alabama. Just finished the clinic yesterday. The clinic provides students with the knowledge of the function, assembly and maintenance of the M1 Garand. During the course you build a Garand choosing from...

I don't normally jump on the band wagon when new rifles are introduced but this one is the exception Ruger, in the Spirit of Bill Ruger himself introduces a modest price rifle allowing most anyone to get into Precision Rifle Shooting where most rifles for this game cost $5000 and north to be...

In my 270 Win. I shoot Horn. 150 gr. IBs at 2750 FPS If I was to go with a 270 WSM I can get 3000 fps with the same bullet. My 270 Win Mag goes sub-sonic at 1500 yards. The WSM goes sub-sonic at 1650 yards. Besides more recoil, is there really an advantage of the WSM over the 270 Win. Do...

100-10X. About as close to perfect as you can get. So what does a shooter look like. I attended the CMP's Master Instructors Course at Camp Perry, taught by Olympic Champion Gary Anderson. Mr. Anderson instilled in us that "THERE ARE NO HOPELESS SHOOTER". This article proves his point...

Who said girls don't have a need for guns. Wife shot this guy while mowing the front yard. Rattlers aren't much of a match for the Judge with #4 shot.

The Resident Wyoming Draw results are out as of 10 AM this morning. I got my number one choice for elk (38-1 any elk) and antelope 7-1. I hunt general deer so that's a given. Wife got her 7-1 antelope so we'll see if she learned anything at her Gunwerks Long Range Hunting School. Hope you...

Anyone know about these pistols. I bought a $10 raffle ticket and one this pistol. Picked it up at our club's Light Rifle Match yesterday. Did shoot 10 rounds out of it before the match. Shot a nice group but to the left, No biggie, I can move the rear sight. It looks nice except the...

Brandishing in the form of being prepared for danger needs to be evaluated. An example: You are filling your vehicle at a gas station. While at the pump, here comes Mr. Scruffy, a weird looking dude coming up to your pump and car. Looks like a possible car jacking maybe. OR, maybe Mr...

Last month there was a topic on Muzzle Brakes. Someone mentioned the Clamp on Brake and how well they worked. I'm a big fan of muzzle brakes so I thought I would give the clamp on style a try. Well I did. Ordered one for my 416 Rigby, installed it per directions AND...... First shot sent...

The CMP has an Advanced Maintenance Class for repairing and building M1 Garand's. Before, every time they offered the class I'd jump to the CMP site to find they were sold out. This year they decided to offer the classes by lottery. 5 Classes, 20 students each, but would choose the students...

A couple years ago there was a topic on Model 70 Featherweights, dealing with the time period of Model 70s being made by Winchester or US Repeating arms. I posted my Model 70 Featherweight showing the serial number and the recoil pad of the Winchester as opposed to the US Repeating arms. Or...

I don't need one, I have two but something came up. Sherwood Armory got with members of the 2/502th Inf, (Strike Force) 101st Abn Div. and are making a limited run of commemorative rifles/actions. The 2/502nd Inf. was my unit in Vietnam so I couldn't pass this up. Both my other ARs are full...

Yesterday I was browsing Cabala's and just because I couldn't find anything else to waste money on I bought one of the Havalon Knives with replaceable blades. Anyone ever use one? How long do the blades last? Can you get through dressing something like an elk with one. Normal I have to...

June 28, 1914 the assassination in Sarajevo led to WWI, We should honor those who fought in the Great War by digging out our Springfields, Mausers, Enfields, Mosins Enfields, M1917s etc And go vintage rifle shooting.

Actually they were out on June 12th. Didn't get my first two choices for elk, got a cow tag as a third choice in Area 38. Both wife and I got our Area 7 Antelope (but we always have). Cow elk in are 38 starts on Oct 1st, same as antelope, so I have to get the goat and beat feet to the Big...

Don't know if its me or the gun, but don't the triggers on Model 97s reset? When shooting, I fire, work the pump (in 3-gun matches) and the gun fires again if I don't take my hand off the trigger. My 870s trigger needs to be reset after it fires. Not so on the M97. Is this suppose to be like...

This link was brought to my attention. About Walter Walsh, a marine/fbi guy and all his accomplishments. I use to run Sniper Schools, using the M1C/D and later the M21s. I posted the picture of one of my classes a couple of times on various topics. Some how my sniper school was attached to...
