Second day of early private land antlerless I got one down already. Shot a little high somehow. I was shooting from a slight elevation. Hit her in the neck where it meets the body. Went through one lung and the liver. Bullet was on the far side, under the skin. Sorry no pics. Not a great doe...

Went out to the range today with 100 rounds of Tula steel case ammo. I took my friend and my brother in law that have been to range before but never shot a pistol. After going through the range/safety rules a few times we loaded up and got ready. We fired the 100 rounds at 6" steel plates from...

Well I got out to the range today. I only have the magazine that came with my pistol. 50 rounds of Tula 230 Grain ball. FLAWLESS! Fed, fired, and ejected every single round without a hiccup. Even with the black front sight I was hitting plates out to 50 feet. I love the feel of this pistol...

I just took delivery of my brand new American Classic Commander. I need advise on sights. The front sight is not painted and I wanted to put night sights on it anyhow. I was thinking either a traditional 3 dot system like Trijicon or XS Big Dot Combat sights. I would like the pros and cons for...

So I have been shopping around for a 1911. One of my LGS has a stainless 1991A1 with a beaver tail grip safety with memory bump, and arched mainspring housing. There is a noticeable looseness to the slide/frame fit and there are quite a few scratches on it. The trigger is also plastic. Other...

I recently graduated from the police academy here in Michigan and I am about to start my first job. I would like to buy a Model 1911 for a gift to myself for making it this far. I would like: Beavertail, memory bump on back of grip, dovetailed sights, NO light rail and around under $1,000. I...

Hello all. My wife has shown an interest in hunting with me next year. She could use her grandfathers .35 lever gun but this would be a good excuse to buy another bolt gun. I was thinking about the T/C Venture in .243. In the off season I could also use a .243 for coyote instead of my .308...

SO, I was in my local wally world and I ran across Federal Red Box. I have already poured over threads regarding Blue V. Red. But the bullets loaded in the red box were not the same as the blue box. The blue box ammo had just a small bit of lead exposed. The red box had an exposed tip like...

I was back at it this morning. Driving down the road I can see into the field I will be hunting. A couple dozen deer are already feeding. I got all set in my spot at about 0645. The deer were already moving and when they came down the hill I was busted quick. Thought I had a good hiding spot. I...

I ran out of my 150 grain NBT that I was shooting out of my .308. The two that I used on deer performed spectacularly. Alas, I am short on money and had a brand new box of 165 grain Fusion. After cleaning the ouil out of my barrel the 165 grain fusion were dead on at 200 yards without adjusting...

I am sitting on a huge field with my muzzle loader this morning. A small doe comes over the hill and spots me. I decided to just enjoy watching her. She ran my way about 20 yards from me. A few minutes later a big doe comes over the hill. I let one fly, clean miss, grrrrr. Then about 30 deer...

Good day, everyone. I have been searching the net but not coming up with the information I need. I have been thinking about getting a dedicated .243 for coyote hunting. I would like something with a heavy barrel between 22" and 26", synthetic stock, blue barrel and action. I am not brand loyal...

Was a heart pounder for sure. On my walk to my spot I almost got trampled by a stampede of about 8 deer. They got spooked by me walking down the road and ran at me instead of away from me. When they got to the other field one made a 180 turn and came back at me. They were about six feet from me...

Some of you may know that I bought a T/C Omega a week ago. I fired a few rounds with the iron sights then cleaned it with T-17 patches that also contain "a rust inhibitor". Before shooting the muzzloader today I ran a dry patch down the barrel to clean out any residue left by the T-17 patch. The...

I took my T/C Omega to the range today and was really pleased with it. 2" group at 50 yards with iron sights. I cleaned the bore with pre-moistened T/C patches until they came out clean as new. Is there something else I need to do after shooting sabots? Plastic cleaner and a copper brush? I...

I think this forum is visited more than the black powder one. I recently bought a T/C Omega and a Nikon Omega Scope. I thought I would try the 2 piece Durasights but they are too close together on the T/C Omega and I cannot place the scope far enough forward to place my cheek in the proper spot...

After much debate I finally got a muzzleloader. My first choice was a CVA Accura V2, but at $400 it was too expensive. Dropped down to a CVA Wolf V2 as my choice. Then I laid my hands on a T/C Omega Z5. I really like the drop block design opposed to a break barrel. The loading rod is much more...

I am looking for a good rangefinder that will not break the bank. I have looked at a few of the lesser expensive 500 yard models but the box shows that they will only range 300 yards on game. I am looking for a model that will range out to 500 yards on Deer and coyote. $200-300 tops. Thank you...

Looking to buy a dedicated coyote rifle next year. I have a .308 Howa 1500 right now. I will keep my shots at 200 yards and under at first then stretch it out after that. Between the .223 and the .243 which would be better for coyote elimination? Pros cons etc. Rifle suggestion would be...

Midway USA has the Accura v1 thumbhole stock model for $260. Or I could go with plan A and get a CVA Wolf v2 at Walmart for $160. Should I just get the wolf or opt for the accura? Also, if I am only going to shoot 100 yards to begin with, do I really need a scope? Thank you Everyone.
