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...

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...

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?

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...

Wannabe SWAT types who watch Flashpoint at every opportunity? Perhaps they wear cammos while engaging in Facebook...

He exists within the urban environment and in many other locations. In some countries and cultures, he is both a food source and a delicacy. To many of us, however, he is a dangerous pest containing rabies and many other diseases. He's not dumb. He is very skillful at evading the neck-breaking...

Some of us have been fortunate to have received solid firearms training as a youngster. In addition to the safety training which should always be first and foremost, the actual mechanics of firearms training seems to be lost these days. While plinking and other outlets can be fun, the idea of...

Few of us can bypass a yard sale, flea market or garage sale. There's always that chance some hidden treasure at an unreal price can be had. Recently, I came upon a small yard sale and came away with a few items. Among these were two board games. One was a checker board with a few missing...

Within the last ten years at least, a fair portion of the firearms/shooting community has been focused on the term 'Tactical' wherein a firearm or accessory has a military or law enforcement appearance and/or function. During the late 1800s, Wells Fargo among others transported payroll and...
