    If you were King.

    If you were King and could design any kind of shootin' match, what would it be like? An earlier attempt to engage in a similar conversation on another thread seems to have vanished. Maybe this forum has a leak somewhere. Probably needs new O-rings. Anyhow, without complaints with what exists...

    For those doubters of how good the newer airguns are, and how authentic they are, here's a quick 2 1/2 minute youtube video for the KWC Colt licensed 1911. Check out the recoil, and realism. I use mine a lot, more than my "real" gun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKbYobha1as

    The latest from meetbloomberg.

    The NRA is apparently mad as hell and ain't taking it anymore. They have established a web site for the sole purpose of exposing the Bloomberg anti-gun propaganda machine. If, like me, you weren't aware of it before, here's The latest from the NRA backlash web site against Bloomberg...

    movie magic or real?

    The old spaghetti western, "Adios Sabata" is playing on Hulu.com this week. In the film, Yul Brynner is using a strange lever action rifle, cut down to fit a holster, ala "Wanted Dead or Alive", but with a twist. The rounds are fed horizontally through the receiver, from left to right, in a...

    meaningful practice

    How do you know if your practice sessions are doing any good? One way is to run published courses of fire with known results and then compare yourself to the rest of the universe. The large sanctioning bodies (IDPA, USPSA, ICORE, SASS, 'etc), all have links to matches around the country and...
