I thought I got hit in the cheek with some shards of a skeet target, but only discovered when I got home why I didn't seem to have been cut or scratched on the cheek. The left lens of my shooting glasses was scratched over a 1/2" long area and my eye would have taken a hit but not for them. The...

This is Off Topic. A Vietnam Veteran at the skeet range was not aware of his right to disability compensation for certain diseasespresumed to have been caused by service in Vietnam. I just want to cover three points. There is plenty of detailed information available if you do an internet...

Check out the custom alignment tool I put together for checking how well I was centered over the rib of my Browning XS Skeet. Given that the diameter of the straw is 1/4", and I am looking down its axis, I figure that my eye is looking down a line 1/8" above, parallel to, and centered on the...

HOme remodeling isn't all bad. After getting a complete kitchen remodel and new flooring throughout this beaten up old house, I GET TO BUY A NEW SHOTGUN!!!! Now to drool over all the goodies out there.

Shush. Don't tell BigJim that there is an Browning he doesn't own; Citori XT Unsingle Combo.

A guy at my range just got a Beretta A400 Xcel. He was told it was a trap model and that it had a 30" barrel. This is the one with the blue receiver. Is there such a thing as a trap model? Checking Beretta.USA, I don't see such an animal.

Since when is a confrontation between armed protesters, many of which are members of "militias" and a federal agency over alleged usurpation of civil rights not an appropriate issue for discussion on a "Law and Civil Rights" forum of a gun rights board? The Clive Bundy v. BLM dispute plainly...

Thirty minutes ago I got a call from my son, a medical student in Kansas City, KS, who took out a two year lease on an apartment fin an edgy part of town. About 7:30 his time someone banged loudly on the door and when he looked through the peep home they had there back turned. He didn't open...

Walmart has some ammo that is marked on the box as Winchester 44 Rem Magnum and the reference to Rem through us. Can it be used in a Freedom Arms 44 Magnum? From what I read on a Wiki it is the same thing.

There are some excellent stickies here about using deadly force for self defense, but what about its use to detain a bad guy once the threat is over. I understand that in my state, California, a non-leo can arrest or detain a felon, but only use reasonable force to affect the arrest, but...

What do you think of this shotgun drills such as tracing beams along the ceiling on a room? Yes, BigD, I know not to leave it in when going to shoot clays. Another gadget for the Xmas list that runs less than $15. [/URL][/IMG]

with a new and thicker Limbsaver and an Adjustable Comb Get a gander at the fancy spacers!

This thread is about upgrading some of the internal parts of the 870 Express, such as the extractor, as opposed to upgrades such as different kinds of stocks, sights, and such. I am not out to build a fighting gun but wish to make it more reliable in case of a home defense scenario. I am a...

I would like to verify the existence and substance of a mettalurgical report on the steel of the H&R Pardner Pump. The purpose of this thread is not to discuss the pros and cons of the Pardner Pump, but only to track down the alleged report. This report is the one that someone with the user...

What would be the approximate retail value of Perazzi TM1? A guy was trying to interest me in one today that he said was on consignment for $2k but he would take $1500. I went to check it out at the lgs where it was consigned and the gun had sold unknown to the guy who was selling it for his...

Here is a what I think to be a tough gun fit question to resolve. Assume the gun in question has a parallel comb, a LOP of 1 1/4", and when mounted the distance from the right lens of the shooter's glasses to the thumb knuckle of his right hand is 1 1/8". As is, the shooter turns his head into...

Just what is meant by "slapping the trigger" of a shotgun. Much of the writing concerns rifle and pistol shooting. I believe it means to pull the trigger quickly as opposed to squeezing it. I am focusing on this since I, a right handed shooter, have a tendency to push a shot left all too...

I always assumed that the original recoil pad on my 2 year old Citori XS Skeet would be equivalent to a premium after market pad such as a LimbSaver, Kickeez, or a Pachmayer. Am I wrong?

My wife and daughter are taking me shooting tomorrow. They are petite, 4'11" and 5'3". All I have is a couple of 12 gauges. An O/U and a Remington 870 Express. I am thinking if a junior size is available I should rent it for them and get a 20if they have one. If they don't have a junior...

This is the deal. I shoot a Citori XS Skeet with 30" barrels, but 95% of the time I shoot trap. Presently it has the OEM parallel stock. Being the stubborn cuss that I am, I didn't listen to some folks who told me to get the model with the adjustable comb that would allow me to raise the POI...
