Here is a link to the video H&H Hunter posted in his thread on proper response to a lion attack. Pretty cool video. Lion Attack

I got to run a couple of dozen rounds through the Glock 42 yesterday. Pretty cool little gun, going for $440.00 at the LGS. Not the gun for me, but I think they will find their niche. FWIW, it has the typical Glock trigger which I think is much better than my old LCP. Very soft shooting. Bigger...

Warning: Long thread of little value ahead. In another thread, a spirited discussion was held regarding the attributes of point shooting and aimed fire. Inevitably, the discussion revolves around accuracy (consistency and hit quality), speed, and usable distances for each technique. There is...

This is just for fun. I was out trying some new reloads and I intended to shoot a five shot group at seven yards for starters just to warm up. I stopped after the first four shots because I just couldn't bring myself to screw up the group. One of our local LEOs was on hand and try as he might...

I have been going to pose this question for awhile now, but I have been hesitant...just because. ;) We all know there is an endless debate over capacity vs. caliber, etc., and some folks will always weigh in on the side of accuracy and proficiency. I agree, proficiency is important, but just...

Perhaps range reports are a waste of bandwidth especially since I posted images instead of links to images, but here goes anyway. In June I had the chance to shoot a friend's Dan Wesson Valor after the High Country Steel Match. His Valor is a full size with the black finish. I was (still am)...

I used to shoot a full size 1911 quite a bit. I packed a Les Baer Premier II for several years. As I grew older, the arthritis in my hands was getting worse and my lower back was trash. Packing a full size 1911 was raising heck with my sciatic nerve and it was just not worth the hassle, so I...

I know it's in bad form to perpetuate a thread once it is locked, but in another thread I was asked a perfectly legitimate question and it deserves an answer. It is entirely possible for middle aged shooters who suffer from presbyopia to do reasonably well with a softer sight picture. For...

Our local dealer just picked up a dozen 37-2 Smith revolvers cheap that have been hiding in a warehouse. I decided to buy one so I filled out the yellow sheet, gave the clerk my Driver's License and CCW permit. I just bought a gun from him a week ago and two from their sister store in a near by...

I get a kick out of reading the critiques and posts of some of the misadventures of the forum members. I'll share an experience I had last summer. Be nice. I shot an IDPA match at Ghost Town Shooters. When I finished the match I put my Les Baer back in the bag and removed my Kydex holster. I...

Oh no, three pages of discussions and my IPSC will get you killed thread got toasted. I didn't get to see the last couple of posts, but apparantly some otherwise civil forum members had an adverse reaction so the thread was killed. Here's what I learned before the thread was double tapped...

[Long and boring post mode on.] First off, I would like to offer up an apology for being such a jerk in the point shooting threads. I could have used some tact. Sorry Matt and the rest. A couple of comments got me to thinking. One comment was: The comment was followed by a suggested...

It seems like their is a perpetual debate about aimed fire vs. point shooting and us IPSC shooters seem to take the brunt of the heat. There exists a myth that IPSC shooters use a front sight, press technique that would be of little if any value on the street. Nothing could be further from the...

Here's some food for thought. I was visiting with a friend of mine who just happens to be a Game Warden in a fairly large region in my state (Wyoming). He mentioned that he would like to see a state law that would allow a citation to be issued if a game warden saw a person shoot at an animal and...
