    NRA Instructor Training?

    Instructor classes in my area are few and far between. I understand that I can go and take the class wherever it is offered, but the closest I have found was a 12 hour drive... It has been my undrestanding that the reason one contacts the NRA for a list of instructors who teach instructor...

    Pheasant Hunting Alone

    A little late on this one, but the only other recommendation that I would add is to let someone know where you will be (I know, not always the easist when bird hunting) and when you will be back. And take a cell phone in case you do need help.

    LEO SHOOTS HIMSELF WHILE COMPETING

    With some of the problems I have been reading about holsters, I don't think it is unbelievable that there was some sort of problem with the holster. Although most of the problems come when holstering, there are others that have issues when drawing an exopsed hammer gun from certain holsters...

    AR-15 Lowers? Low $ or High $....

    I just got done building an AR - haven't fired it yet as the weather turned very cold and windy. Hopefully this weekend... I put a model 1 complete upper on a DPMS lower. The lower was complete unassembled. There really wasn't much to putting it all together except for putzing with those...

    BAD HUNTING . . . AND WHEN TO SAY "WHEN"

    A guy in our hunting group who has been asked not to come out with us this year shot at 6 deer and took 2. He never took anything less than 3 shots per deer. He says most of the first shots were taken within 30 yards. The last one he bagged was just wasted. He gut shot it and it started...

    Shooting glasses while hunting?

    Because I cannot function without my prescription glasses, the only safety glasses that I have been able to wear are the bulky ones that fit over my glasses. I hate the minor distortion that they give and therefore have not worn safety glasses for hunting - only for competition shoots...

    I shoot 3-gun matches and have become quite fond of this mag holder for my AR: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/MOLLE319-19898-2085.html I start out with one in hand, and two in the mag pouch. Not very often that I even get to the third mag, but I know it's there and it' easy for me to grab...

    Ever get that creepy feeling...

    I probably get "that feeling" a bit too often. Trained by the kids who would show up at the wrong house for the party, the ones who decided it would be fun to climb my fence into my backyard, or just hang out on my porch drinking. Then add to that all the drug busts and family disputes that...

    White Buck- to take or not to take

    We just had a discussion about this in a hunter ed class with the DNR Warden here in Wisconsin. The brown patches on the "white" deer often come during the rut as a result of the hormones. It is only considered albino if the eyes are pink. Do you want to take the chance...
