Men, Directions and Firearms
Women will say we men never ask for directions. We never read manuals. We don't mess stuff up when it comes to fishing, hunting and especially firearms. We are also Delta Force Level Operators. We are the consummate badass, are we not?
Still, we make mistakes...
When I was around 9 years old, I was handed an invaluable piece of advice. "Sometimes, ya just gotta leave some people where they are." Meaning? Using this advice within the context of the above situation, it made far more sense to disregard Mr. Big Bucks and concentrate on doing immediate...
While reviewing the High Road Forum Rules and Regs, I came upon this statement. "Share what you know, learn what you don't."
How many of us stick by this in the Forum atmosphere or at the range? Do we have a teachable mentality or one that puts pride first which usually prevents us from moving...
Evil-Twin, 410 hulls at 50 yards sounds like a challenge and one providing that immediate gratification we all want. The visuals are great and the idea of nailing those creamer packets sounds like a good one! A trip through the woods when I was much younger used to net me shotgun hulls of all...
Air Rifle Modifications
Some of us have the technical ability and tools to make the modifications we want/need and some of us don't. A quick trip though YouTube will reveal videos on air rifle/pellet mods. Some worthwhile and some not worth the time it takes to watch it.
We love to tinker...
Much of it depends on where you live, what's going on at the moment, the officers involved and of course your own appearance and demeanor when approached by law enforcement.
Today's air rifles and Airsoft firearms look just like the real deal regardless of whether there is a red tip on the...
AJumbo, Sounds like fun. Blasting ice cubes. Self-policing targets. Love It! After reading these responses, I'd love to get everyone together for a major plinking festival.
For some, the "Castle Doctrine" is held sacred though the question is, do these "Stand Your Ground" and "Castle Doctrine" extend to stolen merchandise and more importantly the well meaning actions of an armed neighbor? Is it something which must be judged on a case by case basis? An armed...
I've had some very good fortune lately with the Bear River/Black Ops line of air rifles whether they be multi-pump or break-barrel. When I first started looking at break-barrel rifles, I heard good and bad but across the board, the prices were generally out of my reach. These days, I am...
12 gauge hulls? I once came upon a small pile of .410 hulls in the woods when I was younger. 12 gauge hulls bounce much better, though. We filled 'em up with water first. I just put them out at 25-30 feet. Used my Crosman 760. There was a kid's sandbox with wooden 8"-10" high rails around it to...
That does tend to strain neighborhood relations, but these things do turn up here and there all the time, right? Did your neighbor ever find out who 'customized' his hubcap? 50 yards? Nice shooting. What kind of air rifle?
Grasshoppers? Seriously? Those can be difficult targets. Even moreso with BBs as opposed to pellets. I had always heard the Red Ryder was a mainstay for a lot of shooters. I actually never owned one but some of the neighborhood kids did when I was younger. One kid even had the older Daisy which...
Yesterday was Saturday. 19DEC2015. Weekends virtually guarantee tag sales, yard sales and so on.
For air rifle plinkers, you can pick up all kinds of things. What is the one plinking target you've had the most fun with? Which was the most challenging?
Childish? Not at all! Soft tomatoes which are slightly over-ripe produce some serious results. Just for effect, try the new H&N Baracuda Extreme Hunter in .177...
My apologies for not being more specific. For the purpose of the initial question/post, the shooter is 15-16 and has never competed seriously. He has spent most of his airgun time with a .177 multi-pump and has done well with it during informal matches. He was told by fellow shooters that a...
There are various levels of knowledge, expertise and experience among the members here and perhaps a guest or two might want to join just to weigh in on this one.
Some of you have been around the competition game for a while others are still in the learning stages. Here's the challenge:
You...
To many who have been around awhile, forums such as this are reminiscent of the early Message or Bulletin Boards back in the DOS Age. There was of course an administrator and those who maintained the equipment. It was the first shot at online social media for many of us.
Today, despite...
