    Bringing up a new shooter : )

    My daughter, my brother and I went to an indoor range 3 weekends back and we rented her a SW M&P22. She put almost 100 rounds through it after I warmed it up for her with a couple of shots and she had a blast. Her grouping was good for a first-time handgun shooter though a little low. She'll...

    E29R-40-BSE Can someone post a good hi-res picture of one so I can see the color vs a standard stainless? Nothing I've found on the 'net gives a good color rendition. Thanks!

    I need practice

    You guys have probably seen this or a variation of this hundreds of times but I'm going to tell a short story anyway. Yesterday I went down to the IWL range with a couple standard 100 yard rifle targets set up at approx 15yds and fired about 8 mags of 10 shots at the five circles on the sheet...

    Will you be exposed?

    I've been thinking about this for a while and haven't seen it addressed so want to ask: How have you prepared your family for the time when you may need to use your CCW? Through training we have learned to not jump into a situation unless 100% certain about what is going on. What will your...

    What targets for distance shooting?

    I'm a cheapskate:D and use 100yd rifle targets for practice shooting and combat sights really make it hard to shoot 15+ yards because the white dot is at that point larger than the 2" corner targets on the paper. No wonder my patterns are not great on the corners but I can put 90 rds through...

    New shooter w/FNP 40

    Thanks to the good information found on this site and a lot of trigger pulls with snap caps I am finding some consistency. Here are a few pics from May 23 and then today. In May with only a dozen or so pistol shots several years ago under my belt I was all over the place taking lots of time...
