    Highpower shooting coat

    I started with and still have the "deluxe shooting jacket". Its a pretty heavy duty stiff canvas, almost like I would imagine a straight jacket. Its $130 and I think its your best bet to get started. I love mine and think it's a very good compromise to get started...

    Zombie targets or NRA targets?

    Depends on what you're doing. One of my favorite cheap targets are paper plates. You get like a hundred for a few bucks at wal mart and just staple them to cardboard, draw a dot with a marker if you want. My favorite to do drills with pistol especially would be one plate for center mass and...

    RCBS Powder measure

    Two things that helped my RCBS measure 1) Absolutely go for a powder baffle, they're about 6 bucks and help out a lot. Like a lot of others I don't know why they don't just ship standard. You could probably make your own in a few minutes with some tin snips too if you were so inclined...

    Any one know about flying with firearms? Specific Question Inside.

    For reference here is an update on the case everyone is referring to: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/01/18/traveling-mans-gun-arrest-appealed-supreme-court/ I doubt you would get diverted all the way to CA but if I had to guess I would say try your best to refuse to take possession...

    WOA service rifle flat top?

    So I believe the detachable carry handle will just get you out to 600 where the fixed handle should get you to at least 800. I'm sure if you asked he could just use the flat top upper receiver on a service rifle build and you might need to get a sight from somewhere else. Also I'm pretty...

    What do you want to see in a YouTube gun video?

    One thing I think would be neat is to demonstrate unique mechanical features of the guns and possibly up close. This gives a unique insight into possibly rare guns that people haven't seen and also if any viewers ever do get to handle one in a shop or a show they will be more knowledgeable...

    Blue Ridge Mountain Cave Stage -- possibly the coolest thing ever.

    How did they control the possibility of ricochets? It seems like, although pretty awesome, shooting in a case would be pretty hazardous.

    Getting started

    A lot of people should chime in shortly but the first step is to get a reloading manual. I have been using the Speer manual and like it but the first ~150 pages of almost every manual out there are the step by step instructions of how reloading works. That should give you a better idea of the...

    References to cartridges as "bullets"

    Bullets vs. cartridges doesn't bother me very much unless its in the context of reloading because then it legitimately gets confusing if we are referring to the projectile or the finished product. And the clip/magazine only bothers me when its someone who is pretending like they know what...

    AR magazines

    I was already kind of partial to PMAGS and then I also saw this video from MagPul running over a bunch of magazines with a truck. Its pretty impressive what they can hold up to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCFXcOOb4jc

    Range cart for Camp Perry pics request

    Very Nice! I thought I had a pretty clever setup with a folding hand truck and some milk crates, but I think I see a new cart in my future.

    Ahhh yeah... you always remember your first...

    Just wait till you fire it, I know my first reloads, 357 mags, I pointed the gun down range and kind of shielded my face as I pulled the trigger...I've gained a little bit of confidence since then.

    Picking up my first AR today!!!

    For cleaning I recommend one of these http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=115057 It works great and will fit any AR. Its machined anodized aluminum, it has a nice finish and is a quality piece even though its a bit more expensive than standard bore guides.

    Electronic hearing protection

    I use these http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=671923 they have a bit better noise reduction level and are cheaper. I think they work great and they have an audio in jack so you can hook up a phone or ipod etc..(I know it sounds stupid but I've used them for plane rides...

    Mossberg 500......

    +1 on this. I was going to get a pistol grip with a buttstock for mine until I realized that the safety would be impossible to work. I like the standard stock just fine however and the 500 is a great gun.
