    A good day at the range

    This Saturday I took my fiance' out to the local indoor pistol range. It's so hot here in Texas that it would just be miserable to shoot outdoors (115+ degrees) I picked up some ammo at wal mart for my .45 and my .357 Sig for a relatively good price ($18 for the .45 ACP and $29.99 for the...

    Shot a .50 Desert Eagle

    My Brother-in-law purchased a DE this past week and I got to shoot it yesterday. I have to say, it's definitely a beast compared to a .44 magnum revolver. The recoil is heavy, but controlable. It gives a tactile "thump" when you pull the trigger (much like a handheld 45-70). I would definitely...

    Shooting low and right

    I took my 1911 out this weekend and shot 50 rounds through it. I noticed I was consistently hitting low and right. As I was aiming for center mass, I would squeeze the trigger, and follow through, but my shots were not hitting center mass. Target distance was 10 yards. Shooting remington UMC...

    Wind compensation

    Hey guys! I have some questions about wind dope sheets for LR shooting. How do you compensate for different wind speeds/values without using a ballistic software? Usually, I will take a shot, and see how far the wind has deflected my bullet in MOA's. After that, I then compensate in MOA's...

    I have to brag on my gun.

    Hey guys, I had a carbine course today. I thought I would brag on how well my DDM4 functioned in adverse conditions. Well it was a CQB course and it was pouring rain and cold. My rifle chamber got soaked with rain and several of my PMAGs were dropped in several inches of water/mud (on...

    Need help from more experienced loaders

    Hey guys, Had a question to you more experienced reloaders out there: What is the minimum number of rounds you'll load/reload per session? I am just curious because I like to take my time reloading for certain calibers-comapred to loading a hundred or so with my AP press- and I don't like to...

    Interesting idea

    An avid shooter, reloader and hunter; I have been pondering something about ammunition for the past couple of days: Is it possible to make a cartridge that propels a projectile using liquid? I know physics to an extent, but I am no expert on it. So, I think it will work like this: You fill a...

    Sling mounting help

    Okay. I have a Daniel Defense M4 and I need a way to mount a 2 point sling to it. The Rifle has holes to mount swivel studs, but only at the the front and back of the receiver (one behind receiver, and one on the first inch or so of the rail). I need the sling to go from the butt stock (Magpul...

    1/4 mile shot

    So over this weekend-after hours and hours of instructing an Appleseed-I had the opportunity to shoot KD 400 yards with my M4 carbine (Daniel Defense 16" SS HBAR). This was at the Appleseed in Davilla Tx. It was a windy day; wind was at 6 o'clock, 4 o'clock and 3 o'clock; blowing at about 7+...

    .303 ammo value

    I have a guy selling me some surplus and non surplus .303 Brit ammo. Total: 167 rounds and half is surplus (from 1955) and the other half is old Federal soft points. How much is this stuff worth? I know I can get modern plinking ammo for my enfield for about $13 a box.

    1911 + Tac Light Tactics

    I have watched Police/Agents/Swat do CQB entry tactics with a pistol and light combo. But it's been a while since I have seen that used and I also don't know the exact methods of HOW to use a light and pistol; effectively. As you can see in my photo's, I have the cross carry (where the light...

    Crock of Bull

    http://www.star-telegram.com/2010/11/30/2669307/have-guns-will-get-elected-in.html I can't believe this guy. I sent him a very polite email telling him he needs sources next time he writes an article to bash the 2nd ammendment.

    $100 Scout Rifle

    What do you think? I am wondering where to get a sling for it as well as some bandoliers? I also have the urge to Duracoat it to keep the rust off-hence it's purpose will be a wood's gun; good idea or no? The 50 rounds that came with it are dated back to 1955 and corrosive, so should I even...
