    weak-hand shooting

    I was with a friend while trying to build our weak-hand shooting, I noticed something. If you change which eye you sight with (assuming you can still see) the alignment of the gun will adjust the angle with the wrist so that I could absorb the recoil more efficiently.

    CCW means Concealed.

    I am a mgr at a retail location and personally I've noticed more people concealed carrying. Now I know that "concealment" means that no part of the gun is visible, but there are some people that should use a bit more stealth. I guess I am more situationally aware, but there are 3 people that...

    Lever action Pistol

    This is a pistol that is on display mixed in with several other styles of pistol at the gettysburg museum. The caption on the card as I've found is a misprint and should read "volcanic" instead of "volvanic". Describing where the entire cartridge shoots out of the barrel hence giving the name of...

    Interesting time feeling like cattle

    I'm spoiled as far as gun ranges are concerned. I'm used to small ranges where the most I've seen is 10-15 people on either the handgun or rifle range. I always take a pistol and a rifle to the range in case there's alot of people at one and none at the other. Or there's the indoor range where...

    I learned 3 lessons today....

    First I can talk people that don't know/understand guns into good deals. I went to the local pawn store looking for a deal. Went to the gun section. Looked over the selection, picked over the ones I wanted and then struck. At first I got the lady to $430 out the door on a scoped 770 in .308 that...

    Ammo Scare

    I was at the range the other day when a guy was unloading the back of his car getting ready to shoot.A 50 cal ammo can falls out onto the gravels. Heard alot of rattling. He picks it up and nonchalantly drops it at the bench nearby. I was surprised when he opens it to show that it was 3/4 full...

    marking brass

    Does anyone mark their brass? how do you do it? (marker-which one? paint- what type?) This is refering to marking your brass so you can easily identify yours when picking it up at the range... and maybe even difference in calibers so it's easier to sort later. I have tried sharpie markers...

    Just bought my first wheel gun. My dad had been looking at a 22mag/lr revolver earlier in the week. I dropped by a pawn shop on the way home that usually has a great selection of guns (i've also used them to transfer ownership in the past). And there it was shiny and new. I looked down the...
