I currently have two Buffalo Bill Commemoratives. One is the carbine and the other is the rifle. A good friend has been trying to talk me out of these for a couple of years.

As a hunter safety instructor, working with young people, you hear some pretty funny things. Such as; 1) While demonstrating the prep, loading and shooting an M/L. One student commented; Isn't this a whole bunch of trouble to go through, just to get one shot off? .... :confused: 2) During our...

Thought I'd a recent experience with Y'all. Went to a local gun auction and while going down the rows of tables full of guns, there in front of me, was a Drilling. We are talking about a small rural town in Iowa and most of the good old boys are into shotguns. when the auctioneer came to the...

Background; Lately we have seen documented evidence of Cougar sightings in eastern, Iowa. Turns out that there have been other undocumented sightings for at least two years. Have contacted some Wisconsin cousins and they have had sighting for a number of years. I suppose the same would be true...

During a recent Hunter Safety Cass, I went into a hunting scenerio. We were standing at the bottom of a small rise and I explained that a Rooster just flushed up in front of me and was flying up, toward the top of the rise. I then asked, Good shot or Bad shot? I got about a 60 to 40 answer on...

Many years ago or as they say; When Moby Dick was a Guppy, I started out my weapon's great adventure, shooting slingshots and bows and arrows. Progressed to bow hunting for many years and have often stated that the best hunters, started out as bowhunters. Then one day, I ran into a bunch of...

I know we have had many posts and replies on how a person should respond when stopped by police on the road. This video is really a common sense responce to that encounter. In my opinion, very well done. ..... ;) http://imomags.com/gunsandammo/2011/05/27/tips-when-stopped-by-police/ Be Safe !!!

Finally got to put in some range time with my new Savage Lightweight Varminter, in .223 Remington. This one is the 25 LV-T. In short, what a tack driver and not as light as you might expect. .... :) Mounted a 4-16 x 40MM scope on it and bore sighted, in my shop. Initial round, hit 3" high at...

A previous thread about eating squirrels prompted me to start this post. This post also serves to encourage eating what we kill, harvest if you prefer. As Ted would say; "you kill it, you grill it". I know you guys have these stories in there and lets share them. Keep it clean and real. ...

I've posted this before, but from time to time, I run across a side-lock that is no longer wanted. There are still many quality side-locks out there but you have to look for then. I know because I run into them, about twice or three times a year. Today at a local gun show, there it was, on a...

Brittish enfield converted to shoot .410 shotgun. My understanding is that these guns were sold to india and used for riot control. A freind of mine has two of these for sale and I have never heard of these nor do I know how they were actually converted. Can any of you folks enlighten me on...
