Hi, All! Don't know if this is the proper forum, but thought I'd try anyway; moderators, feel free to move accordingly if necessary. I'm confusing myself thinking this through and seek expert counsel of the forum: When shooting uphill, do the shots tend to hit above or below the point of...

Hi, all! My wife and I are going to New Orleans Fri. Never been there. Never been East of Dodge City, frankly. I've reluctantly concluded it would be too big of a hassle to carry there, as we are flying down, then going on a cruise ship on Sunday that takes us to several foreign ports...

That thread got me curious, since I occasionally go to a Costco here in Idaho, so I sent the following letter: I have been reading a forum where it is alleged that Costco has a corporate policy that members may not enter the warehouse if lawfully carrying a concealed or unconcealed firearm...

I can't believe he'd dare show his face in Bozeman! Pretty bland article, really, and (unfortunately) only a brief mention of his moral and intellectual bankruptcy. I still say :barf: Link: Bozeman Chronicle

Does anybody have it? Who offers it, and for how much? Spoke to my insurance agent because I don't feel my homeowner's policy covers my tools, guns well enough. He said that a "gun rider" to my policy will cost me $4.95 per $1,000 of gun value. Is that a bit high? I'd hate to not have that...

I've got a Stevens 5100 sxs 12 ga, 24 in. barrels that I use for CAS. It's the only shotgun I own, and buying another is not an option right now. I have an opportunity to go duck hunting with a friend - can I shoot steel shot in it w/o doing damage to the gun? I've heard warnings about older...

Greetings - Having watched a handful of shoots, acquired all the appropriate firearms and prepared my loads, I'm looking to participate in my first CAS shoot in a couple of weeks. I've never participated in any competitive-type shooting events before, and am looking for pointers. I'm aware of...

I recently acquired a new 1894 Legacy in .45 LC. Fired 3 rounds (the first, and only that night :( ; somehow, in loading, one cartridge "fell" down beneath the ramp that feeds the round into the breech, wouldn't feed back into the mag tube, and couldn't fit back out by the lever. I had to...

We've all read the (several) threads about SB 2099. Here's what Idaho Senator Mike Crapo wrote to the Twin Falls, ID newspaper. Makes me dang proud to live here. Idaho senator opposes gun bill Writers of several recent letters to the editor in local newspapers have been angered over S.2099...

Any new word on this? Go to www.senate.gov then scroll down to search - enter SB-2099. The bill would provide for a transfer tax of $50 on handguns, registration thereof, and sharing of the registration info with local law enforcement agencies. Last word on its status is it was referred to...

Mr. Nolden: I have read in the CAS forum of people "disconnecting" one of two springs in the Vaquero to smooth out the trigger pull. Can you or anyone advise on this (effect, if any, on safe operation, ease of doing/undoing?) Also, is there an exploded diagram available I may download or...

Greetings! I too am a newbie to CAS and had a question re: the rifles mentioned. I've always been a Winchester fan, and am sticking to that knowing there are many other fine manufacturers out there, hence the limitation to these three for consideration. I will be shooting 45LC since that's my...

Got a fundraising letter from Rudy's senatorial election campaign. Initially I didn't know why they sent it to an Idahoan, but on reflection it's clear Hillary's election to the Senate would affect every citizen in the U.S. Given that, I'm considering sending Rudy a nominal donation just to at...

Paul Harvey read a letter from a fellow who was upset because nobody has mentioned that no shooting tragedies have occurred at private schools to date. Now, as I understand it, private-schooled children have the same access to firearms as do public school children (my brother-in-law's private...
