    Poor Eyesight

    Funny you brought this up. I’ve recently been thinking about this. I am blind as a bat without corrective lenses. So I’ve been meaning to do some shooting with no glasses on at self defense ranges. I “think” it’s doable for me. Just haven’t tried it yet.

    Safe options?

    I use handgun hangers on the top big shelf. I have the majority of my pistols hanging. Frees up a lot of room. https://www.storemoreguns.com/handgun-hangers-4-styles/

    Taffin says .357 Raging Hunter sets standard

    I have shot many pistols and rifles with no ear pro. Nothing compared to this. It wasn't the loud that was the problem. My buddy and I were at his cousins a few months later prairie dog hunting. His cousin took a quick shot with the 44 Tracker. Funny thing is, his experience was identical...

    Taffin says .357 Raging Hunter sets standard

    I like it! Although I want nothing to do with a ported pistol. My friend has the 44mag Tracker. I shot it once with no ear pro to see how bad it was. I felt as if I was whacked on the side of the head with a 2x4 across my ear. Instant pain and disorientation. For a range only...

    A Live and Learn Moment With My Single Six

    I totally agree. I also have the vinegar badge as well that I mentioned in an earlier reply. Thanks for all of the input guys!!!! I’ve been reading the gun care products post/experiment. I think I’ll hose the cylinder down with One Shot and call it good. If any issues start to arise...

    A Live and Learn Moment With My Single Six

    Thanks for the advice guys! I do like the look as well. Corrosion is my main concern. It’s hosed down in oil now. I was thinking of soaking it in Mobil 1 just so everything was covered very well. I’ll definitely keep an eye on it. Wow!!!!!!! I like that a lot!!!! When I read “hard...

    A Live and Learn Moment With My Single Six

    I would imagine. I thought it was a steel frame due to the weight. I could be wrong. This actually isn’t the first firearm in my collection like this. Lol. Years ago I scored an excellent condition Jm Marlin 1894 for dirt cheap. Figured out why it was so cheap when I Got it to my friends...

    A Live and Learn Moment With My Single Six

    All of the single six chatter in here prompted me to dig mine out and give it a going over. The last few years I’ve been shooting Aguila Super Colibri’s out of it. So she was a little dirty. Took it apart and got to cleaning. My standard routine with my revolvers is to drop the cylinder in...

    Treestand safety measures.

    I’ve been wearing a harness since late 80’s. My dad got me one from work when he saw the “safety strap” that came with stands then.

    Best buckshot for a 10" barrel

    I didn’t even think about the ammo dependent functioning with an auto loader. What brand is this based off? Mossberg, Remington? Can any adjustments be made to the gas system?

    Best buckshot for a 10" barrel

    In my Shockwave I run reduced recoil Federal #1 with the flight control wad and Aguila mini shells both slugs and buckshot. Even though these are not hi power rounds, they still hit my steel silhouettes pretty hard. I've tried standard buck shot rounds and it is pretty sporting to say the...

    Outdated binoculars

    I’m still amazed how good the glass is on my 2-7 even 30 years later. Redfield made good optics back then. Their binoculars, the rubber armored ones, were very good as well.

    Outdated binoculars

    You want to see crazy vintage glass prices on eBay look up Redfield Golden 5 Star scopes. :what: I was looking for a mate to the 2-7 I have on my Whelen. I could triple my money for that scope that’s on there.

    Looking for a decent pair of binoculars...

    These. I 110% agree. I have a pair of 8x42 Pentax DCF WP's I bought in 2000 for an elk trip. Fantastic glass and my experiences are identical to yours. Plus with the larger exit pupil light transmission is better, I was seeing into shadows Also as mentioned eBay and the sample list are...

    Outdated binoculars

    @troy fairweather My .02. Do your research. I researched for a long time before I got mine. I believe the only top roof prism players back then were Zeiss, Swaro, Leica and Pentax. Fortunately that has changed for the better with more excellent choices today. I consider good glass as an...
