I got a doe tag I need to fill before winter sets in. I deside to go to the ridge behind the house and pick up one of the critters that's been eating my hay. Wouldn't you know it, three deer, no doe. One really nice 5X5, on three point on one side, horn missing on the other, and one spike...

I don't mean to circumvent the closed thread below, what I want to do is point out that 25 yard shooting is a valuable tool for target rifles. I shoot my target rifles quite a bit at 25 yards using the ISU 25 yard target. The 10 ring on this target is a pin size dot. It's quite handy and I...

Being old and lazy I use horses for Elk Hunting. Only problem, this year I hunted a section of the Black Hills that is only 34 miles (as the crow flys) from the house. I only took my Belgium, leaving wife's paint home. These suckers are quite attached to each other so the Belgium gets lonely...

I’ve been shooting competition a long time. Even coached the AK NG Rifle Team for about 15 years, but mostly High Power/Service Rifle. I never was much into using a bipod, concentrating mostly on using slings. Most people don’t shoot with slings, especially in Precision Rifle Shooting. I...

Took me longer to get this guy then normal but still got him about 3PM. I just couldn't get close this year like normal although they didn't seem too spooked (not as many hunters in my area as there normally is). Guess I was always in the wrong spot. Caused me to break my rule of not hunting...

This would have been WAY off topic from the sight it was posted so I'm starting another tread regarding ergonomics and thought it would better fit the General Rifle Forum I don't know what some people call "ergonomics" but my ideal is ease of use. Taking the M16 example. What other rifle...

I'm wanting an honest opinion. Had a 10/22 years ago and wasn't impressed. Ending up giving it to a neighbor kid. I realized they changed a lot but since I have lots of 22s didn't figure I needed one.............that is until I saw Cabela's had the Take down model. The bug hit me, but I am...

There has been reports that the SST, though extremely accurate, and has the BC needed for long range shooting, that the jacket sometimes seperates on large game. Don't know if its true, but who wants to take a chance on elk. Hornady also says the SST and IB have the same BC, or will shot the...

I love shooting my CMP 30 Underwood Cal Carbine. I have tons of brass, bullets and primers. Problem being, its a pain to load in volume. 6 steps, sizing, belling the mouth, seating the primer, charging the powder, seating, and crimping. I have an old Dillon RL 1000 made in 1978, works great...

Senator Dianne Feinstein is at it again, says she'll reintroduce assault weapon legislation. http://www.scpr.org/news/2012/09/05/34168/senator-feinstein-says-shell-reintroduce-gun-legis/ Bad timing on her part, don't think it will float but you never know. It's time for all us to call are...

I decided to get modern a bit and got a Mark III target and put red dot sights on it. I don't like the thin grips. Is Ruger's wood grips thicker the the plastic grips that come with the gun, if not, anyone know of after market grips that are thicker???

Looks like the Feds and the State of Wyoming has reached an agreement on wolf management in Wyoming. Wolves would be protected in Yellowstone, Gran Teton, and the Wind River Indian Reservation. Looks like a trophy area in NW Wyoming, but in the rest of the state they will be considered...

Fed Ex just dropped off the last of my maps. I'm hunting WY Area 1 for Elk, rather small area not far from the house but lots of critters. Any, now I got 1:24000 maps to cover every inch of it. Good compasses and protractors with 1:24000 scales. Good GPS set up to match the maps, plus has...

“He’s always been a marksman,” his wife said. “He shoots in competitions" Apparently the 57 year old was filling wife's shopping list when two robbers tried to hold up the store, Manager warns customers, but grandpa, draws fires twice, hitting twice, killing one of the suspects. It's dern...

Hurricanes and Rifle Shooting-The Day I was fired as the Alaska NG Rifle Team Weather Man. Watching the news regarding the path of Isaac, all scenarios show Isaac passing over Little Rock, the location of Camp Robinson and the W.P. Wilson Matches, National Guard Championships. Back in 77 or...

We all learn by mistakes. I figure maybe my mistakes might keep others from making the same or similar mistakes. We all agree (or should) with the theory of Muscle Memory. It's nothing more the acting without having to think about it. Problem is we can develop bad muscle memory the same...

Wyoming is now authorizing up to 3 elk per hunter. You can purchase over the counter elk tags in many areas, resident and non-resident a like. If you missed out on a draw, and want a cow/calf, come and get them. If you have a Elk tag and looking for a bull, you can still buy some good...

Pin shoots Edit to add match I just found out our club (Newcastle WY) had about 20 boxes of bowling pins. I asked why we don't have pin shoots, answer "no one wants to run them" So I'm gonna have bowling pin shoots if I can get any interest. Anyone near North East Wyoming that would be...

I mentioned a time or two that I purchased a Mann Accuracy Device from the CMP. The Mann Device is used by the Army and Ammo supplies to test ammo for the militar. Mine is a 5.56 w/a Remington Action. It has a Kart Barrel. There is not much information about the Mann Device out there, and I've...

I was watching Fox News (don't get excited, this is not political) and Meagan Kelly had Brandon Webb (Formal Navy Seal and author of several books, The Red Circle, 21st Century Snipers, and others). He was discussing methods of none lethal self defense in situations where you can't carry...
