    Steel Targets

    At Shooting Targets 7 they have a calculator to determine the thickness of your plates using bullet mass and velocity . It looks like for everything that I have except for .44 magnum I should get 1/4” thick plates and I don’t shoot .44 magnum much , maybe get one plate 5/16 or 3/8” thick for it...

    Steel Targets

    I just talked to Mark at Shooting Targets 7 and he talked me out of using chains for pistol shooting , because of the chance of where the bullet might go hitting the chain and being up close to the target .

    Steel Targets

    I want to setup a steel target pistol range at my house ? Midway has some Birchwood Casey NM 500 1/2” steel plates for 1/2 off . Are they any good ? And how would you hang them , using stands , or hanging from a post with chains ? Should I be concerned with ricochets hitting my house about 75...

    The dumbest thing I know of

    I live in a rural area and there is nothing worse than a feral cat , or your free roaming house cat on small game and birds . Virginia recently made it a felony to kill a dog , or a cat . There is an exception to the law , you can kill them if they are chasing your livestock . I guess I am going...

    Gun powder. It's a beautiful sight to see.

    The prices that I have been seeing isn’t pretty . I saw a 1lb. bottle of Varget at my LGS last week for $60 dollars .

    The PPK Lives Again !!!

    And with NATO ammunition the results would have probably been the same using it in 1899 .

    The PPK Lives Again !!!

    I think that the Army learned something in the Philippines war against the Morro people and the .38 , thus the .45 acp and 1911 pistol .

    Beware of Vihtavuori Load Data.

    I doubt it is your scales since you’re also loaded .41 mag and .45c and it produced normal velocities .

    PDP vs Glock 34 Range Day

    I was reminded of one of the reasons why I hate indoor shooting ranges also . There were 2 people shooting long guns while I was there . I was using double hearing protection , but my friend wasn’t . He was ready to leave before I ever started shooing . The sound didn’t bother me , but the...

    PDP vs Glock 34 Range Day

    I don’t like the grip safety on the XD . But I go into it knowing that I am either going to put an optic on the Glock , or put some competition fiber front sight and adjustable rear black sights on it . For now I can live with the Gen5 34 trigger .

    PDP vs Glock 34 Range Day

    It looks like you shoot your 22 pretty well also . I also shoot my 23 more accurately than the 4” PDP that I shot yesterday .
