Was watching c-span about the new homeland security office and one of the "expert researchers" the panel was talking to was GARY HART (wierd huh).. but one of the oddest bits was the discussion of WHO and HOW the defense was to be done.. the arguement was something like this.. The US Military...

Spent today reading a book on african game anatomy (have a buddy going next year) and the book was really cool. Showed photos of game with aiming points and anatomy drawings superimposed. Really cool stuff. also some of the coolest ballistic photos (failed bullets, elephant hearts etc) THE...

I used to think.. well whetver her opinion, she's an american she's entitled to it. Well kids NO MORE. She apparently is blaming her "bout of depression' on The Columbine Shootings. (source Entertainment Tonight) If you are a Colorado resident, know some one who was THERE as a student...

Ok a recent horsetrade got me thinking this question. And its a silly one. :p Something goes bump in the night and for what ever reason you only have one handgun available. Its a C&R gun and it won't reliably feed hollowpoints OR modern hollowpoints are NOT available for it. What is it and...

Hi all.. anyone who can help me on this would be greatly appreciated. I have a horse trade in the works and the horse in question is a 1939 luger 9mm. It has a 4 digit serial # and the last 2 digits of the number match all the visible #ed parts. it has a 4 inch barrel and is cut for a shoulder...

I had been planning to watch this new movie on animal planet about war dogs and their handlers. After viewing the really great documentary "war dogs" i thought Rain would be a treat . NOPE. Watch the documentary, even the recreation segments are done pretty well. UNLIKE the Film itself which...

Saw a neat show about the American Jaguar on Outdoor network last night. I thought they were extinct except for an old film reel i had seen by marty stouffer who had photographed it near tuscon.. well old Marty got in trouble for staging wildlife fights so I figure that too was staged.. and then...

Today (sunday) at around 4pm there was a loud knock at my door. There was a stranger , a woman who was asking for help in a bad way. She said "please help me I need to get away from that man in that car." I looked to the street to see a man outside a maroon ford taurus on the passenger side...

Just saw these in the new midway catalog.. Tasco low power 1-5 variable 32x44 OVAL objective.. gathers more light, still stays low profile.. sounds like the bee's knees for a 'battle' rifle or brush gun. Price was higher than other tascos but I think this is a neat idea... Anyone else ever...

When the american commander of the 101st airborne was surrounded at aBastogne he was asked to surrender and that all his wounded would receive special treatment etc. Although surrounded and outnumbered and low on ammo he sent this reply back to the germans... NUTS! (which I gather was a...

Anyone else have one?? (posted part of this in range reports) Let me just say... wow.. awesome.. hooya! The 357 maximum is one HELL of a cartridge and that Dan Wesson is on super accurate gun. Dad was shooting 2 inch 25 yard groups with federal factory 180 grain bullets. I was shooting more...

So dad and I headed out to the range last sunday for some gun fun with a variety of rifles and pistols he's been collecting and I have to say we had a blast. Dad's been buying like crazy since he retired and he's having more fun than a kid in a candy store. Before I get to the range report...

I was just thinking tonight if anyone ever bought a special pistol becuase its what your hero used.. you know, why there is a SAA Colt in a gunfighter rig on your safe with a signed picture of the Duke or a "Bond, James Bond" PPk in your formal wear collection. There was a legendary lawman...

If you haven't gone to Cabela's outdoors store in Sydney, Nebraska, you should go. I had more fun than a kid in a candy store, and the gun library is really really interesting. Taxidermy abounds and most of its really good with a notable exception. Thier lion needs help. Have to say though that...

My reading here today got me thinking. (dangerous business I know for a 33 year old art director who has never been in anyone's army or police force to comment on such esoteric topics as firepower and tactical penetration and calling in the arty) But i digress... Several topics (old faves) have...

Hi all.. dad went and bought a dan wesson 357 maximum.. anyone know where we can find some factory ammunition?? I know remington quit making it a while ago.. any other makers?? E-mail me or answer me here.

You all know I'm a fan of the 30-06, but dad bought an 1895 marlin rifle in 45-70 with a curved steel buttplate. Sending a 405 grain bullet downrange with iron sites and only your bravado to tame the recoil.. makes ya feel like you are wielding the hammer of thor. Read this NOT a giude gun, no...

Hi all.. My dad just obtained a dan wesson 357 with a six in barrel and shroud.. any ideas as to where to get a 4 inch barrel and shroud?? any info would be appreicated! Rob

So I went to the range today (my 33rd birthday by the way) to dial in/check the zero of my preffered battery of guns for the hunt. 4 shots out of my savage 116fsak 30-06 with 165 gr handlods netted a 1 inch group. 4 more shots had it dialed in at 2 inches high at 100 yards and a 1/2 group...
