I've had to wear lenses of one type or another since I was a freshman in high school, and I recently got the opportunity to have LASIK done for free. I had been thinking about PRK or LASIK for quite a while, but really couldn't afford either, so when the opportunity to have this done came, I...

Did any of you watch the archery yesterday? I watched part of the womens', but I have the mens' DVR'd, so I was going to watch it tonight. I find it funny how much different the technique is, at least in some respects, to what most recurve-shooting bowhunters do (myself included). Different...

I posted something similar to this on another forum, but it hasn't garnered much response (any, actually) yet. I'm wondering if they just suck so bad that no one wants to be the a-hole to point out the elephant in the room :scrutiny: I'm basically looking for a critique on these two designs...

Anyone here have any idea what this is? A friend of mine knows that I make knives occasionally, and gifted this to me. She found it half-buried in the ground next to what used to be a printing business. Here it is. It's shiny because I just hosed it off before snapping the pics...

So I just found out from my uncle that it is legal to hunt with a non-muzzle loading firearm during "muzzle loader" (really primitive weapons) season here, as long as they meet these criteria (I checked, I'm not just taking his word for it): Must be breech loading Must be single shot Must have...

Man, I have been really out of the loop on most production knives for years now. Basically ever since I started making my own fixed blades, and got my first Benchmade folder, I have been set, and haven't had the need to buy a knife in a long time. In that time period, so many shops have gone...

I was wondering if LEOs could tell whether or not you are registered as a CCW holder by running your plates on their system. I'm sure it might vary state to state, so I may not be able to get a concrete answer here, but I was curious. The reason is, I had a peculiar "stop & pull over" episode a...

Picked up a Chef's Choice "Edge Select 120" model yesterday. Not real cheap, $139 at Bed, Bath, and Be Miserable, but I had a 20% off coupon, so that helped. I had been eyeballing these for a while, and wondering whether they were junk or not. Well, so far I really like it. I have about $700...

I had some gift cards to Bass Pro for Christmas, so I bought some Remington Premier Match for my M1A. These are loaded with Sierra MatchKing 168 gr hollow point boat tails, which are supposedly the bullet for accuracy out of M1A rifles. Well.... take a looksee, and see what you think...

Okay, so I am a science nerd, and one of the TV programs that like to watch is Nova on PBS. They had a pretty good documentary on the making of Japanese katanas a while back, and I thought some of you guys might enjoy it. They don't go into a whole lot of metallurgy, just basic principles, but...

Killed a couple of hogs the other day. One was a musky old boar that wouldn't be fit for eating unless you were starving, but the other was a nice 50 lb young'n that ended up being nice and tender (and tasty). Thought I would share the "recipe" (I didn't measure nothin', so add ingredients to...

Not a bug out bag, but a GSW/trauma oriented first aid kit just in case someone ever has a "blow out" on the range or in the woods. Hopefully something that will be wasted money, but accidents (and sometimes negligence) can happen, and you don't even have to be the one who was negligent to end...

Looking for various shooting tips from anyone that has any input to offer. I've seen some of y'alls targets, and there are some superb shots on this forum. I wouldn't consider myself to be a slouch behind the trigger, but I would always like to get better. Lately I've found myself getting...

Well, my Dan Wesson commander bobtail came in today:cool: Fired case is dated 9/08. This particular pistol is the stainless version (there are also Cerakoted versions in both black and tan out there as well). The flats are polished, and the rounds are bead blasted to a matte...

Like the title says, I am thinking real hard about getting a Dan Wesson Commander Bobtail tomorrow. Although the 10mm would be a hoot, and is extremely tempting, I think I will get the .45 ACP version. It'll be for carry primarily. I do have a few questions that maybe some of you could...

...but which one? I'm getting a $2,000 stipend this summer. Looking to spend $1,000 or less on this purchase though. I plan on it being a carry piece. From DW owners out there, (especially those who own different models), what model would you recommend. I'd prefer .45 to 10mm or .40...

Can anyone tell me anything about these? I am mostly wanting to know about performance and what the heck these things are jacketed with. The label says black oxide, but I know nothing about the hardness of this "black oxide" and what it might do to a bore in long term use. It looks like a...

Silly name for a backpack, and I hate to play into the "tactical" mumbo-jumbo, but they look like they would make a great woods pack for overnight hunting/camping trips. I'm looking at this one and this one. What do you guys think? I've got an old Jansport that I've been using for that sort of...

Anyone know if a Magpul magazine loop will fit on a 5 round M14/M1A mag? I hear the 5 rounders are a PITA to remove 'cause they don't stick out far enough to grab. I was thinking this might help, but I didn't know if they might also ride so high as to prevent the mag from inserting properly...

Well I finally got around to finding a card reader to get my pics onto my computer. Yes, my camera is craptacular, so the pics aren't that spiffy, but hey- what can I do? I can't afford a new camera, I just bought a friggin' M1A! :uhoh: Though I have lusted for years, this is my first M1A. It's...
