    Broadheads, Painless but lethal

    An observation on broadhead sharpness and the feeling of being sliced open with them. Yesterday I was on the phone waiting on an appointment and had a Rage broad head in my truck laying on the console. I was inspecting it to see the function and just admiring the design. I've never used one...

    Barranti leather Wow!

    Mike Barranti finished my holster. Perfection! It's a tight fit, I was panicked at first. But leather will work in and it will slide in and out no problem. It fits with precision. He must have a 4-3/4" FA revolver on hand to get it this close! He also made me a leather 6 shot shell...

    Celebrity hunter arrested again

    Do you think the federal F&W targets the so called celebrities more then the average guy? His( spook spann) TV show is entertaining and he kills some great trophies. I think it's a shame that this happened for what seems like a mistake rather then deliberate poaching or intentional...

    We put up our last wood duck house

    My son and I just finished putting up our 5 wood duck houses this weekend. We cemented in 2" EMT conduit. We chose this type post to reduce or eliminate the potential for predators like mink and raccoons from climbing up and getting into the house. We also made hinged sides to clean them out...

    Alpha glass with perfect colour and contrast, worth the price!

    My girlfriend and I were looking for nesting gold eagles today. In the distance about 800 yards away I saw something in the trees. I played with the focus adjustment and sure enough the picture became crystal clear. I studied it for a bit longer and realized what it was. So we climbed down...

    Lions near our camp

    lions showed up at camp. Now they are being seen more frequently. We thought they left in spring but we are still hearing them roar These are 100% wild free range lions that wander the bush wherever they please.

    Rhinos anyone?

    On our concession I frequently have to do a population check on the rhinos. I use game cameras and by darting them. Often we will offer a "green hunt" allowing one of our hunters to shoot one with a tranquilizer dart. Then we can draw blood, tattoo inside lip, implant tracking chip, check...

    Monster in the tunnel

    It was getting dark about 7PM this time of year, the end of September. It would be light in an open meadow until well after 7PM. However here in the dark second growth with such full limbed Douglas fir’s on the tree farm the canopy made up of these giant Christmas trees shut down the remaining...

    understanding the shoulder shot

    This question comes up many times in my lodge when hunters are trying to decide where to shoot African game. I think it's best to sort out a few terms, such as "shoulder". The shoulder is not a bone, it's a joint, it's also referred to as the muscular region around the scapula and humerus. I...

    Do we have the Skill and patience to realize the quality?

    There are frequent posts here, and on many websites that discuss the minutia of quality and optical perfection. There are those that feel one of the big three are the only way to go, and some that feel that the big three are only a status symbol for the elite. I guess in my life I have been in...

    Priorities....... Not always obvious

    I have met a number of guys over the years that have invested unbelievable hours building and designing the rigs they hunt with. They spend months of evenings after work, and weekends. Amounts of money I cannot even imagine to get high HP, heavy duty long travel suspension, diff locks, lighting...

    Optics opinions gone wild!

    It's clear that human vision has enormous differences between the millions of people in the world. There is a good reason that there is a vision center in every one of the thousands of Walmarts around the country. Considering this, and the fact that there is no type of scientific scoring...

    Kenton Elevation Turrets, dial your range and shoot!

    I'm not a rifleman loony. For every hour I spend with a Rifle, I probably spend 50 with a archery. I don't own a single fancy rifle, only three total now, .223 Hawkeye, 375HH and a 30/06. Pretty boring by rifle loony standards. In my work I am often with very excitable guys (women and kids...

    Converting .22 LR to mag in a revolver?

    Had a fella tell me this was rather common and works great. Surprised me, but seemed like it would work. He claimed the drill package is made and gunsmiths do it all he time. Freedom arms uses .22 LR barrels for their .22 mags claiming the tighter fit is what makes them so accurate. Would be...

    Sp101 .22 update

    So, I've had this revolver a few months now. Brand new the cylinder jammed and it went back to ruger. Came back fitted and finished like a custom shop gun. I replaced the grips with hogue to give me more holding power. The little ruger grips with the stiff trigger pull was not a good...

    Favorite .44 mag powders

    Typically I shoot 296 for the 300 grain loads, and 2400 for everything else. Although I recently tinkered with HS-6 for some 180's and they were astonishingly accurate!

    Pulling Bullets

    I bought a bullet puller today. I needed to redo some loads. With the cost and difficulty of bullets now, I need to make them all good loads and no just waste them. I bought this Unit that mounts into the press, and uses the shell holder to run up the shell and with a cam and a lever pulls...
