    Of Marines and Veterans

    My dad enlisted in the United States Marine Corps out of high school in 1969, already being a master marksman in ROTC. By the time he was ready to go, 1st Marine Division had rotated out.

    Holy cow.. what a different world.

    When my dad was in school, he was expected/required to show up on campus every day with his school-assigned rifle for ROTC marksmanship class. When I was in school, I was expected to have a rifle in my vehicle to go hunting with my teacher after school. If my child so much as says the word...

    12ga pump. .22lr rifle .22lr/.22mag revolver .30-'30 lever rifle I can do everything I need to do to survive with this short list. If anything, I'd add a .45acp 1911 or .357/.44mag revolver as an all-around sidearm. I, personally, have no practical use for a .223 otherwise I'd have bought...

    Stupid range rules...

    Thankfully I was born and raised in God's country, where my shooting range refers to my back yard and/or how far I can see. And I make the rules. There are only five: THE FOUR RULES, and the fifth rule... I make the rules. ;)

    what does a soft point do when it hits game.

    In my .44 SBH, the Hornady LeveRevolution loads are absolutely devastating on whitetail out to farther than I'd be willing to try a shot, not to mention extremely flat-shooting with the spitzer shape of the bullet. Through-and-through penetration, extreme expansion at high velocity, it basically...

    Have You Given Up On a SD Caliber?

    retired the .380acp to "safe-queen / occasional fun gun" after seeing its effects on various media, and considering it was my first ever handgun left to me by my dearly departed grandfather. immediately graduated myself to a Colt 1911 in .45acp and have never looked back. have shot just about...

    voted levergun. he's expressed that he wants more than a .22lr, and the longgun he has in the 870 is versatile and utilitarian. just like a .30-30 levergun.

    Beware the man with one gun, he knows how to use it. Anyone who lets themself into my family's home without our blessing IS, PLAIN AND SIMPLE, a threat to life and limb and SHALL be dealt with accordingly. I/we will be judged by 12 before me or mine are carried by 6, without a second thought.

    theboxotruth.com is formatted as a photo/written review style website, but I really like it. It's a good ol' boy testing various weapons/ammo/target media for fun and giggles, but It's fun to dig through IMHO.
