Texas Highpower Rifle shooters just commissioned and unveiled a new trophy for the Texas State Rifle Association Service Rifle Championship. Justin Utley won it again for the 4th time. Champions get their name on the trophy and an award with a photo on a plaque. 89 shooters in the Service...

Use 'em when you can. I was photographing on a heavily wooded lot where a building is going in and a rabid coon showed up and started following me around. I had a pistol in the car, legally in Texas, permit, et, but was in town and decided this was just the thing for the guys who sign up to...

1891 Mauser I don't think the Swedes consider their rifle a Mauser at all. Nice rifle though. Swedes aside I prefer the 1891 Argentine Carbines. Tiny-est Mausers ever made in 7.65. Shot deer with both of mine and handloads. The 1909 Argentine Carbine is the next favorite/ Shot...

Another example of why gun laws need simplification and revision. A felony. Ridiculous.

Freedom This brings into focus that pesky question about who the foes of freedom and American life are: Those AK waving Islamic terrorists, foreign powers...or the Federal Government? More please.

Erosion in the bolt face? When they start piercing the tip of the firing pin erodes- which makes them MORE likely to erode more and pierce more, but also the hole that the tip of the firing pin protrudes through the bolt face also erodes. Erosion in that area can make even a new pin come...

I wouldn't do this by committee.... ....just get your idea and go. Easy to do. Watch the lighting and background. Keep the talk simple. Don't mention the 2nd Amendment. Just talk about "choice." I'd get the camera off the tripod and let it move. Check the Blackfork6 Channel on...

TSRA If the Texas State Rifle Association isn't on board with their lobbiest, Alice Tripp, then this isn't going anywhere. Bills have to have sponsors and a lobby to organize testimony in front of the right (and friendly) committees, co-sponsors to buttonhole and trade votes on the floor-...

Malvo and Mohammed.. .....shut down the central Eastern Coast of the US with one 20 round box of .223. They had ammo left over when they were found asleep in their car. Most folks get through deer season firing less than 3 rounds. You don't need 10K rounds if the SHTF.

Boiling his head? How you going to mount that guy? Nice deer. .223 fine for deer as long as the shooter can place the bullet. Good job. http://www.youtube.com/user/Blackfork6

deercam info http://blackforkblog.blogspot.com/ Easier just to send you over to my blog. Short answer: Get digital Moultires. Get more than one. Cheap. Don't worry about them being stolen. Extra cards. Feeders are all on sale. I just pour a gallon of corn on the ground every time...

Depends If they are close with open sights, I would try a head shot. Close is under 50 yards. Farther out I aim behind the shoulder. Most of my rifles shoot above the front blade so I hold six-oclock. I've killed deer with Krag, 1903A3, Garand, Jap T44, Swede M38, Arg 1909 Carbine, Arg...

Alpenflage jumpsuit and some pump spray. I rattle for bucks. I wear US army long underwear, which is cheap and very effective, layer up and usually wear a Swiss jumpsuit over it. Works for East Texas. I put doe pee in a small pump bottle and buck scent in another. I spray my rubber boots...

Love to see the photos Why not a clown suit and big flappy shoes? But of course, FIRST you have to do it. That's a lot of confidence to put in a snubnosed .38. Shoot well. Deer deserve respect.
