    Training (female) family members to shoot (SD)

    I've been a firearms trainer for a long time, LE, Military, civilian and I feel I'm fairly good at it. Having said that, like driving, I don't believe one can teach or provide training to his family members effectively. Like teaching daughters to drive. Dads/granddads just can't do it...

    Triggers

    Let me start this by saying I'm not a Glock fan. I don't own one, nor do I plan on buying one. But. The other night at our gun club meeting, we got to talking about triggers and semi autos. So the guys dug up a bunch of different pistols which I dryfired (didn't shoot them, I just wanted to...

    Here is some great dry fire practice

    While setting around wishing you could go shooting, print this out, post it on your wall and using your UNLOADED carry pistol/revolver w/laser sights and dry fire.

    New American Hogger

    That will be me, or will in a couple weeks. Going to OK to visit my MIL who owns a small farm in eastern OK. She wanted me to thin out the turtles tearing up her fishing pawns. No biggie, I can handle that. Today she calls and says wild hogs are tearing up her hay and crop lands. Wants me...

    Smart A$$ wives and 243 Winchesters

    About 12 years ago I had a Winchester M-70 action laying around and a wife without a low kicking hunting rifle (she broke her back and has three rods in it). So I built her a 243. She shot a couple deer with it over the years but hasn't shot it in about three or four years. I'm suppose to go...

    Love my Model 70s

    Two Winchester Featherweights, one in 257 Roberts, one in 270 W. Havent shot them since last hunting season so I figured I'd dig them out for our Oct 1st oppening. Three six inch gongs, 100, 200 & 300. Using last years ammo and zeros, I fired 20 rounds out of each alternating between the...

    Perfect Example: Position & Followthrough

    I was watching the ShootingUSA TV show. The shooting tips portion had Sherri Gallagher talking about reading the wind. I'm not addressing that portion, (though she was right on based on my experience) but I want to address Follow Through and Position. Watch her shoot. Perfect prone...

    New 200 yard bench rest record.

    I'm not in to bench rest shooting, but I got to admit this is some hard holding. Frenchman sets new 200 yard bench rest record, shoots a record .089 group using a 6mmPPC. That's pretty close to a one hole group, trying to measure a .089 group after using .243 bullets would be hard enough...

    Tale of a Gun

    About 1976 I was working as a cop in Anchorage. I had decided to go Elk hunting on Afognak Island. A friend of mine and fellow cop said I shouldn’t go alone and offered to go with me. I asked if he had a rifle and he said he did, a 1903 Springfield. Before I made a commitment I wanted to see...

    I do a lot of action pistol shooting, IPSC, IDPA. ICORE, Steel, etc etc. Every other week our club has one of the above matches. I've been going over the results of my shooting over the last couple years and it appears I can shoot my M-64 revolver better then any of my autos, I can't load...
