I am one of those folks who LIKE gun shows, so if you do not, please do not feel you have to waste time replying. We have several good shows here in Amarillo, three per year from from the club I am in plus about 4-6 more with about 110-120 tables each show... but this weekend I am attending...

It has been October since I last had a table at a gunshow. I have one this weekend but I am not sure what to put on my table. I usually put some of the good deals that I have found in the past year and have enjoyed for awhile, but no good deals are around much anymore. I am not at all sure...

Got our first hog the other day, did not want to miss so my son and I counted down 3, 2, 1..BOOM! Hog went about 30 yards and fell over. I recovered 2 bullets from the hog while cleaning it...both entered the chest on the right side, about 3 inches apart! My son was shooting an older...

Shortly after I arrived at my table this morning, another exhibitor told me what I had missed by about 5 minutes...Another exhibitor was reholstering his personal CCW, a .25 semi auto, when it discharged through his table and into a box of stuff under it. The announcements were regular and...

I made a bad trade today at the gun show. I had an old Beretta 300a 12g I traded for a Winchester model 70 in 22-250. I thought, "well he's happy and I'm happy" When I lifted his gun for inspection, he lifted mine and then someone handed me $100 to make change for something else. When I...

Went to visit a friend at the show today and noticed a nice European production 30-06 for $225 at the table next to his. I turned to the guns owner and remarked how nice the gun was, and my "friend" interupted me saying that he would give $200 for it...while I was in mid-sentence! I see this...

After loading up the pickup with my rifles for my table today, I jump in and flip on the radio and hear that Former President Clinton will be at the Civic Center today. Funny, that is where the gun show is :confused: To add to this, there is also a Men of Faith conference being held there...

What Do you Think of My Trade? I have a friend with an FFL who may be willing to trade a new Bushmaster AR for my Century Arms M1 Garand. I have wanted an AR, but I enjoy my Garand too. One of the things that is going into my decision is that I have been told that I may only safely...

I have read that this caliber is too small for Dangerous African Game (that the minimum is .375 H&H)... but is it a good caliber for Grizzly Bear? Looking at the Winchester Product guide, the .338 win mag looks very much like the .458 win mag...the .338 keeps a great deal of energy, similar...

This happened a week ago, and the news stories are not very forthcoming. Has anyone heard about the circumstances of this? Certainly not the smartest man in the world, but I would like to know that the authorities did not overreact. I guess I would probably not wait too long for an answer...

Well, the reloading store I buy my equipment from was out of RCBS and they recommended that I try the Hornady dies for my .308...I have cleaned them with Hoppes, I have lubed the cases with RCBS lube, Hornady lube, and graphite, (not all at the same time :eek: )but I am still getting stuck cases...

What a Great Evening! I went to my third gun collector's club meeting, Pioneer Gun Collectors, and won the $500 drawing!:D I now have a year to purchase a firearm from any club member and the club will pay the first $500 of the price, or all of the price if the gun is less than $500!! I was a...

Please excuse my ignorance, it overflows freely. I would love to go hunting in a muzzle loader season, but I have no great love for the muzzleloading rifles that I have seen. Can I purchase a rolling block and then use it as a muzzle loader? What is the technique? Thanks in advance, David

I finally have been able to join a hunting lease here in West Texas (after looking several years for a way to hunt in my home State without $$) My son (14) and I went to the lease last weekend (full moon) taking with us some smelly rotten catfish feed, soured dogfood, and moldy/smelly...

We had a great "Fun Shoot" and Swap meet today. We had a block shoot, my and my son's first :) and an informal swap meet. It went so well that the club has decided to hold one every quarter :):) One of our outstanding members brought a smoked brisket and some bread and fed everyone who...

I recently had to fly home unexpectedly from a church youth trip where I was a chaperone. (I was called home for an emergency at my business) I confided in one of other parents who was on the trip, lamenting that I was not prepared to carry my guns home on the plane, as I had not brought the...

I want to get a hunting/retrieving dog, but I already have 4 pet dogs at home. Will the working dog be adversely affected by spending time with these pets? I am specifically wondering if the working dog will be ruined by picking up the others' bad habits like Barking at the wrong times?

Is it possible to find some sort of hunt while on an Alaskan Cruise? The cruise lasts 7 days, and I figure that my son and I could leave the ship at some point to take in some of the famous hunts. There are some fishing excursions from the ship that cost from $200-$800/person. Anyone have...

If you purchase a day lease from a property owner, for hunting/trespass, does the landowner legally have the right to impose further limits on your game harvest? That is, can he tell you to only take one deer, even though the limit set by his county/state is three? Don't the deer belong to the...
