I was howling this morning trying to locate some yotes so I could get on them and start calling at sun up. I was sitting in the dark, and heard a crunching sound, not unlike a predator munching bones. I thought I was just spooking myself. That's when I found this about 60 yards away, complete...

Hey all, I'm considering an NAA mini master for a trail gun. Any reviews, thought, experience, or other info out there for me? It's really between that and the Ruger Bearcat. I love Ruger, but the bearcat doesn't have adjustable sights. I don't want to go up to the size of a Single Six, as...

Well, it's year 5 with no elk. Apparently even my great hunter of a father even went 5 years once without an elk. I think it might have been after the Irish Elk went extinct, but I'm not sure about that one. I think I'm gonna go after the coyotes mercilessly this year. I've got a fancy new...

Hey all, I'm asking the expertise at thefiringline about bullet weights and my favorite cartridge in the medium bore category. I've had great results with 130s in my 700, but the 150s group like a shotgun. Would going to a lighter bullet weight likely result in similar groups to the 130s...

Hey all, I'm wondering if there are any of you out there, especially in those states that don't allow the use of dogs, who have been successful mountain lion hunting with spot and stalk, calling, or other methods. Here in NM, you can use dogs, but I don't have access to any. You also cannot...

My dad stuck a 6x6 bull with his old PSE compound on Sunday. It took us about 6.5 hours to get his big butt out of there, but we saved the meat. What a chore that was! It was good to be able to help the guy who has helped me hunt all these years. Needless to say, I'm SORE.

Well, it opened today. No luck so far, but we went out for some Abert's this morning. I'm hoping that even with all the dead trees we have some luck this year. On the other hand, I've never seen this many doves around here. Up one of my old squirrel canyons, the squirrels are gone, but the...

It's a fuzzy pic, but here's my son. He'll be 2 in December.

Ok, so here's the situation. I've googled and googled and haven't found an answer to my question. There's supposition and arguing, but nothing definitive. I have 3 firearms chambered in .357/.38 special. What I'm curious is what effect the barrel length will have on different powders, using...

Well, since I was a wee lad, I've always wanted a TC Contender. I finally found one today. I'm not a big spender or a big money maker. My wife and I have 3 kids, so I was holding out on a great deal. They don't come around that often. There was a model 10 there today that was a 2" snub nose...

I'm not sure which forum this goes under, but I got some dardas DEBBWC bullets a month ago, and finally had a chance to test them out in my Blackhawk. WOW! 25 yard group. That's a 3.5" decking screw for reference, as it was the only thing in my truck that was a standard size. There are 6...

About 10 years ago, when I started going through cast bullets, I was a big Oregon Trail fan. Now that those have doubled in price, I have switched to Dardas bullets, and I have to say, they're great. If you all need a good cast bullet, try them out. My Blackhawk and S&W 637 both love the .359...

I sold a couple guns recently, and bought a sporter Saiga 7.62X39. Needless to say, it's boringly reliable out of the box, and more accurate than I anticipated. This is my first AK-pattern rifle in a long time, and this one is much higher quality than the CAI I had before. I'm looking forward...

Hey all, I'm coming to the experts on The Firing Line once again. This time, it's about Northern Florida. I may be moving to the Jacksonville area sometime soon if I can sell my house and I get this new job. I'm looking at living west of Jacksonville in the Baldwin/Macclenny/Middleberg area...

Hey all. I know that the Security Six is a popular handgun with some of you. I don't own one, but while looking at stuff on Ruger's website for my Blackhawk, I found some grips for those old revolvers on clearance. They're found at...

Ok, here's the deal. I've asked a similar question before, but now I want to specifically know about the H&R revolvers. I'm OK with accurate enough and a heavy DA trigger pull, but are they durable? I'd love a Smith, but I can't afford that kind of cash for a .22 revolver right now. I could...

Ok, so I was surfing various forums, google, etc. I decided to try my luck with some gluelits, and this is what I've found. 1. They're too much fun for a grown man to have. An old t-shirt suspended from a piece of wood is enough, provided it is not anchored at the bottom. It will "catch"...

Hey all, What's the consensus on Del-Ton as an AR company? How about DSA?

This weekend I got a firearm, and want to make a rifle out of it. That is, I got a stripped Spike's Tactical lower for what I think is a decent price of 125. That's not bad for local. Now I can mail-order everything else. Here's what I want: I want a dedicated coyote stalker that may...
