The story I was always told was that the 16ga waned in popularity because the clay games didn't have a division for it. 12, 20, 28, and 410 are our mainstays simply because that was what the competitive circuit used. I'm sure I'm missing a boatload of details so hopefully someone else can fill...

I use the entry level Vortex harness that came with my binoculars. I wouldn't recommend them. They work okay but they aren't very comfortable and I take them off every opportunity.

I am not the focus of most of my photography but I do have a few hunting photos I feel capture the post joy experience a bit.A couple of in action shots a buddy got without me knowing.

I rented one at a range and put a couple boxes of ammo through it with a buddy. I loved the recoil impulse and a rhino is on my short list of guns to buy now. It just seems every time I have the cash ready the guns are out of stock locally.

I didn't read through all the replies so I might be repeating some things. I am self taught hunter as well starting when I turned 30. Small game a good place to start. Equipment is cheap and light, egos are tame, meat haul is small enough to manageable while you figure out processing and...

Update: rats are gone and back to managing the usual mice. Honestly I miss having something to hunt in the evenings off my back porch but it is worth not having the headache of vermin. I haven't moved on to any other airguns but have been swinging by garage sales looking for a deal. I already...

https://www.beretta.com/en-us/80-series/ These just made a comeback. I was handling one at a LGS and if I was in the market for a gun that size I would definitely be getting this one. Still might just because you never know how many DASA pistols will be available in a few years.

I have heard several younger hunters specifically asking for paper hulls. They like the idea of somecthing more readily able to decompose than plastic. With current trends I wouldn't be surprised if we see paper as a more common option again. The market desire is there, we shall see if that...

I'd like it more to S&W vs Ruger revolvers. The S&W are more svelte and elegant. The Ruger just looks like a usable and solid gun. Henry's are fine, I've never seen one that shot poorly. The cheaper guns wear in quickly enough, my Rossi has probably 200 rounds through it and a bunch more dry...

There was a Ruger revolver that was chambered in it awhile back. Besides that the M1 carbine rifle and 30 carbine cartridge are more or less married to each other. It is unfortunate as I would like to see both the rifle design and cartridge to get more development. A carbine in 223 or 300 BLK...

So oddly enough Winchester is made in Japan now whereas Henry and Marlin are still made in the USA. Generally the more you spend on a lever the smoother the action is from the factory and the better the finish. My Rossi also has the issue that if I try to load too many in the tube it will accept...

When it comes to brush guns, I've heard it explained two different ways. The more common one is a heavy and slow cartridge that won't be deflected as much by brush. The second one I have heard is a gun that is easy to handle and carry while going through heavy brush. While this is definitely the...

So since we are driving off into budget rifles in general. Would you guys think it would be better to jump on one of these Mossbergs or move over to a Savage/Ruger or wait for Tika to come out with a 7prc? My wife's Tika is really nice but I have this weird thing about having guns that look to...

The Gamo at 17 yards. Five shots in total. The first three were a boring single hole. I tried to wrestle the recoil on the forth just to see how much that did change POI and that is the flyer. Went back to letting the bronco buck how it wanted on the fifth to verify the gun was still capable of...

So I was looking at my property more and I have a 3' wide by 20' long strip between my garage and my neighbors fence that I don't use for anything else. That would be a nice spot to set up a shooting lane. I'll have to see if I can find a source of the rubber mulch locally, maybe I could just...

I was not aware the patriot came in 7prc. That is rekindling the fire under me to get a rifle in this cartridge.

I got a Gamo Swarm Magnum. It was the nicest thing they had locally I could get. After buying real steel for so long I didn't even think twice about that price. I'm really surprised with both the power and accuracy. Unfortunately my shooting techniques don't transfer over perfectly onto the...

I had some rats move into the chicken coop while I was traveling a few weeks ago and have been trying like mad to get rid of them without killing the birds or dogs with some misplaced poison. Since the coop were on the property line and close to the neighbors house I picked up my first air rifle...

Nice touch on the CZ pistols is that they lock the safety off when the hammer is down. Normally I am in the camp of if it has a safety, train the safety. My CZ with a safety is the exception to that.

It is definitely a factor for me but behind several other things. I really appreciate it for when I am running drills at the range. I can develop a system to get ready for each draw that won't tempt me to take potentially dangerous shortcuts if the decocker is in a good place. I don't prioritize...
