    Feral varmint no myth

    In regards to another post questioning the fact or fiction of feral hogs causing environmental destruction and or ruining hunting, I have two views based on experience. If in the deep woods or swamps with a proper apex predator to prey ratio feral hogs are just another part of the dynamic and...

    Good source for clays?

    I was curious to know if anyone here has a good reliable source for ordering clays? I keep running into too many broken ones and wondered if there was a good source for UPS/FedEx/USPS delivery? Also are some brands known for being less prone to break accidently(other than the ones I miss:D ) ?

    My last gun of the year????

    I pick up this plinker yesterday. The previous owner couldn't seem to get used to the thump when firing this three inch barreled beast. I tried to tell him that the 300 grain projectile loads he was plinking with may have something to do with it. He just wanted to sell it. :) Three hundred US...

    New to me S&W model 19-3

    Picked a piece or functional art yesterday(at least to me). It has some light scratches and shows some use. Personally that is fine as I wanted a shooter not a safe queen. It will mainly see light target loads with some heavy 38spl loads and the very occassional 357 magnum round. Hopefully I...

    On feral hogs and guns and dogs

    For what its worth here in fla feral hogs are considerd livestock and belong to whomevers property they are on at the time. As long as you don't intentionally torture them they are yours to kill however you see fit. On private property there is no size or bag limit. This of course allows the...

    Handloading the 38-40WCF advice or tips sought.

    I recently acquired a Ruger Blackhawk Buckeye model convertible chambered in 10MM Auto(which I have loaded for 15 or so years) and 38-40WCF which I have never even fired that I recall.

    This is on the top strap on my newly acquired Ruger Blackhawk 38-40 / 10MM convertible. I know it has something to do with Buckeye sports in Ohio. Anyone know the rest of the story?

    Found this online. It was everything the seller said and more. It came with both the original Ruger box, outer sleve box, plastic bag, vapor paper, re-useable plactic tie, all papers and manual. It is near mint and appears unfired(I am a very happy man). It is a Ruger Blackhawk 38-40 WCF/10MM...

    Picked up my new,,,,

    Fausti By Traditions Field Grade 12Ga, 28inch selectable barrel O/U shotgun. I just the other day recommended that someone that was looking for an entry level field/clays gun check one out. So I figured I had better take my own advice. I know next to nothing about shotguns period and O/Us in...
