Hot last night, so I went out on the side porch to sit out in the fresh air. All I had on was my shorts and being modest I turned my porch light off so no one could see me. Didn't expect anyone to be out though since it was already 10:30 As soon as I open the door and sit down, I notice a...

Is there anyone knows the decibel levels of high velocity .22lr rounds out of a rifle barrel? I'm wondering if I should start wearing hearing protection?

I only shoot with .22lr and the last time I went to shoot, was trying to hit my 2.5" wide spinner. It wasn't hitting at all, yet I could hit right where the cross-hairs were a little higher up on the tree that I was using as a back-stop. Long story short, there was some brush in front of the...

Both of these pistols are in the price range I'm looking at. I've read one horror story about someone dropping the P11 and it discharging--there's no mention of there being a hammer block on it on KelTec's website. The PF-9 on the other hand does mention a hammer block. Any of you guys care...

I've got an extra .22 that I'm not sure if I want to get tech sights for, or optics. I wanted an open sights gun, but I don't really like the sights on it and have found I can't shoot nearly as well with open sights as I use to. So anyway I was looking at tech sights, but they're almost as...

It snowed overnight here and I got up to shovel the driveway and walk-way. As I approached my garage where the shovel is, I noticed a set of foot prints walking up to the door, but none on the return. I only thought, "Hmm, that's weird, maybe Mary went to check something," but then when I...

Well, so I've been getting a few necessary-accessories for my model 60 and I finally got the last part: My sling! My girlfriend actually bought it for me for my birthday a few weeks ago but the sling-stud I ordered to mount it finally came by mail. I of course mostly got it so I had...

So I just got my first real rifle back in October, and then got another one of its older brothers... So I figure I might as well start rounding out my collection. I want to stick with .22LR since it's all I really need and it's dirt cheap. That being the case, I'm really stuck between...

So I went out to my girlfriend's place this new year's to do some shooting. I finally got back a day ago and decided to clean my guns now. So I go over to grab my rifle and I think, "Okay, this gun is loaded.... Guns are always loaded," while in the back in my mind going, "But it's not...

Okay, so this is literally how I learned how to shoot with my Daisy pellet gun when I was about 10. This is actually the same manual! Wish I found the gun along with it... Anyway Now, I always assumed that your point of impact would be directly on top of the front sight-post. It...

Is it really okay to leave the barrel of your rifle dirty? I don't really like to clean it every time I go shooting because it takes forever to clean, but I have been doing so anyway. I've heard a lot of the discussions about how a "fouled" barrel is more consistent, but I'm just not sure if...

I was reading that hole Remington 700 thread about that whole fiasco. Now I don't wanna start another argument on that topic, but I remember hearing the story about the woman who was unloading hers and actually had it pointing at her son who was behind the trailer out of her view. Well, it...

I bought a pair of safety glasses for shooting lately, but unfortunately also found that they fogged up really easily. I have to wear them over my prescription glasses so that's probably one of the issues. I've heard people talk about putting vaseline or something on the lenses, or even...

I haven't ever used the rear sight elevator. Just never needed to. Well, when sighting in my new Glenfield 60, I noticed the rear sight elevator was gone so I had to take one off my pellet guns to improvise. So, am I just supposed to adjust the rear sight until it sits flush with the top...

Food prices are getting ridiculous, aren't they? I was thinking the other day that it would be cool to be able to go hunting and get a elk/deer or turkey or something--you know something with a lot of meat on it. I've never hunted before and only have a .22. though, so that's a maybe for...

Friend of mine and I went up to this local public shooting range yesterday. It's a popular spot for elk hunters too, and it's located in this little valley area along a rural road. Well, there's about 100 yards of field from the pull-off area to the tree line, and then about 100 yards of woods...

So earlier this week I found that my ejector wire was bent out of position and causing me jams. I hadn't noticed this until about 500 rnds in after one of my cleanings, so I assumed I had bent it somehow while cleaning. Well, I got it bent back into shape and took it back out to the range...

Hey guys, I was just wondering what the proper ANSI specification for shooting safety glasses is. I picked up a pair under the Z87.1-2003 specification, but it says in the "limitations" section not to use for "sporting" or "simulated combat". From what I know about the Z87.1-2003...

My back door has one of those little windows up on the top half of it. I really don't like this, because I feel like if anyone wanted to force their way in, all they'd have to do is break the window and unlock the door from the outside. I'm wondering if I should try replacing the whole door or...

So I was wondering if anyone has ever seen these... http://www.amazon.com/Sightmark-SM39021-22LR-Boresight/dp/B004TDPZU4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1319507718&sr=8-2 I know there's the other style that go into the end of the bore, but from what I hear they're practically all inaccurate and...
