    Shooters On A Budget

    Don't let money "burn a hole in your pocket." That is a fast way to get into debt and to buy things that you don't need. Maybe saving money is better than to try to figure out what to spend it on. If you have to wonder what you will buy next, consider if you should buy it at all. Jerry

    The Myth of Tack Driver accuracy for a Hunting Rifle

    Sometime go out and shoot from field positions, sitting and prone. Do it on the side of a mountain, and anywhere else you would hunt big game. I doubt 1 in 100 could shoot groups less than 2 moa. I always remember Jack O'Connor writing that you carry a hunting rifle more than you shoot it...

    Hunter kills moose with 1100 yard shot

    It may have been a great shot, but not ethical. The chances of wounding the moose and it escaping are too great. I'm also not sure what he thinks he did except make a long range shot. It certainly is not hunting. Jerry

    Kel Tec P32 - Would You Trust Your Life To It?

    My P32 has been reliable, and yes I have and would again carry it and "trust my life to it." Yes, I had a rimlock problem until I realized the cause. I also load a HP as the first round in the mag, and FMJ for the rest. Jerry

    Custom holster with a tight fit

    The plastic bag is a good start. However, some of my holsters never loosened enough to make a smooth draw. I use this on them. The holsters remain tight, but I can make a smooth draw. http://www.kgcoatings.com/lubricants/kg-9-micro-ptfe-leather-kote/ This seems to be the same as Leather...

    Thinking about an all around rifle. Am I thinking right?

    I have killed several mule deer with the .243. It got the job done very effectively with one shot in the tracks kills. Jerry

    Sometimes, the value systems of some folks still surprise me .....

    {Well, I may have miscommunicated. I wasn't appalled that the guy's daughter went out and got drunk when she turned 21. That's not an unusual thing and, even though that's not what I did, I know it's common and usually a fun, harmless, time is had by all.} I have to dispute that it is...

    2 shots accidentally fired at Mt. Clemens gun show; 3 hurt

    I agree the owner should be charged. If he had a CHL it should be revoked for a long time if not forever. If you want to know if I would take away his 2A rights to carry, the answer is "YES" I would. Jerry

    Guns at Political rallies

    I would not even consider OC at a political rally. There are enough disagreements and problems at many rallies without introducing another potential problem of OC. If one wants to do so then if legal have at it. However, I think the odds of being hassled are great. It does more harm than...

    Removing case lube from completed cartridges

    I do not tumble handgun cartridges. I use a spray and only get a very small amount on the cases prior to resizing. Rifle cartridges are another matter, and I have not had good luck with the spray. I wipe every cartridge after it is resized. It is not a problem since I reload rifle ammunition on...

    Any of you guys serious about opening a small gunstore

    I do not see how one could provide a living for a couple or family. However, a few seem to get by if there is no major competition in the area. Jerry

    Mental Health and Firearms Ownership, what do you think?

    Those who are truly mentally ill should not own or use guns. If one is mentally ill, no one knows how he will act or react at any particular time. Jerry

    very irritating discussion

    Have not rulings by the Supreme Court established that the laws regulating full auto firearms are constitutional, and that the 2A is not without limitations? Regards, Jerry
