Why is it that a brand like Federal provides more accurate shots than a cheaper brand like Wolf or some surplus ammo of same weight and type? Is is due to the to the dimensions of the tip and how well rounded they were made? Is it due to how consistent the manufacturer kept the powder in each...

I joined up with the GOA via their website about 3 weeks ago and was wondering if they send some type of membership materials in the mail, membership card, etc. and how long does it usually take to receive these materials when you first join up? Or do they NOT send you anything at all?

Being a longtime member of both the National Rifle Association and the Illinois State Rifle Association, I figured why not take another step and join the Gun Owners of America.... It couldn't hurt. :)

Excuse my ignorance and this dumb question, but I really want to know, when you are speaking to someone about FALs, do you pronounce the word FAL like in PAL or GAL or is does it rhyme with TALL or HALL. Or do you say each letter F....A.....L? I warned you this was a dumb question :D

Anyone own or shot one and compared it to something like a Remington 700P or 700VS? With Ruger having a laminated hardwood stock instead of a fiberglass stock and having a 2-stage trigger, is the VLE a good choice next to the Remingtons?

I wish to buy a Harris BR bipod for my AR15. I see that there is also an S series that allows the base to rock left and right for leveling of the rifle. Does anyone recommend this S series benchrest bipod over the standard one? The S series costs about $25 more and so I wondered if the extra...

Anyone here a GOA member? How does GOA differ from the NRA as far as their involvement in Washington protecting our gun rights? Does GOA keep it's members updated by mail and other sources of what they have accomplished in fighting for our gun rights. Do you believe GOA is a worthy organization...

What kind of home defense weapon do you have? What is a better choice, handgun or rifle? How do you store it? If stored in gun safe, do you believe you can quickly get access to it if someone broke into your house during the night? Are rifles like AR15s and AKs good choices for home...

What is the average height needed for a bipod when benchrest shooting with an AR15? Many people say that the 6"-9" bipod is perfect for benchrest, but if I want a bipod for both benchrest and for prone, would a 9"-13" be too high for bench? That looks like 9" would be the only possible average...
