I like to keep ammunition installed in my western-style cartridge loop belt just so the leather loops will maintain their shape and size (not to mention the eye appeal). Problem is, if the brass-cased rounds are left in there for any length of time, the cases discolor and get pretty ugly...

... by the Liberty Science Center, of all places. The LSC is a child-oriented learning center/museum just a stone's throw from the Statue of Liberty, but on the Jersey side of the harbor. It's a popular destination for class trips, family outings, and even birthday parties, I believe. But...

I was privy to a very disturbing scene at my veterinarian's office last week. A beautiful, 5-year old golden retriever was brought in emergently because his lower jaw was busted up from being kicked by an intruder who burglarized a home. The homeowner returned from work to find his home...

Shhhh. When I walk to my deer stand a few hours before sunset, I try not to make a lot of noise. With the maximum stealth my clumsy body can muster, I climb the tree, hoist my rifle up into the stand, insert four rounds into the magazine and gently close the bolt of my Model 70. But how...

Please understand that my question is a sincere one. I'm not trying to make a statement or question the ethics of bear hunting. (I am a long-time whitetail hunter and connoisseur of tastefully prepared venison.) But more and more black bear are appearing in my neck of the woods (rural New...

Just curious: Why aren't small rack-and-pinion type arbor presses used to push out/install pins found in guns, instead of using hammers? Or perhaps they are? I'm talking about the mechanical, bench top models where one can "feel" the pressure being exerted.

I've been shooting patched round balls in my .50 caliber Thompson-Center Hawken for the past 30 years, with great success hunting. But after reading about the Minie ball used during the Civil War, it whetted my appetite for wanting to shoot something other than round balls out of my...

Are there any circumstances when buckshot has an advantage over rifled slugs or centerfire rifle cartridges for hunting whitetail deer? Assume for the purposes of this discussion that state and local game laws permit the use of any of these rounds.

Walked into the GM in Middletown, NY, to buy some fishing gear and boy, was I surprised. A miracle transformation took place overnight, and the whole place was redecorated and well stocked with all kinds of guns, holsters, and accessories that would give Cabela's a run for the money. Best of...

Just curious---can a chamber be knurled like a valve guide and reamed to a tighter tolerance? When a rifle is rechambered, what exactly does that entail? Thank you!

I sure could use some suggestions on how to increase the storage capacity of my safe (RSC) for long gun storage. Seems that my "48 gun" safe, in reality, holds about half that number. Here's what I've learned: 1. A scoped rifle counts for about two rifles, I think; 2. A gun sock over each...

It sounds like a silly question at first, but I'm dead serious. For years I've been petitioning my daughter and son-in-law to allow me---Grandpa---to present my grandkids with a Red Ryder BB rifle this Christmas. Instead of thoughtful consideration, their answer is always the same, per A...

Will a smaller caliber round, say a .243, result in less destruction of meat on a whitetail than the use of a larger caliber like .30-06? If so, is it significant enough to justify using the smallest caliber possible that will still do the job? Just curious, after hearing a lively debate at my...

The opportunities to hunt with my grandson---let alone hunt at all---are few and far between. So you can imagine how idiotic I felt when I drove to my favorite hunting spot, unpacked my Model 94 … and discovered that the box of Winchester Power-Points I casually chucked in the trunk of my car...

I know the New York Times is held in a position of high regard here at THR, so check out this recent article that seems to imply that Lee Harvey Oswald's bloodlust began with a BB gun during his childhood in the Bronx...

I've been eye-ballin' a Nikon Buckmaster scope with "side focus" and it got me to wondering: How does focus differ from adjustable objective (AO), or are they synonymous? In advance, I appreciate the help!

I was wondering if these things really worked in the field, or are they unneccessary appendages that sell knives? I've been using my Schrade LB7 for decades to field dress deer, but came across the Kershaw Zipit guthook that they claim is a "must have" tool. Does anybody here use a guthook...

God willing, for my 61st birthday next June I plan to bicycle from Seattle to New York, a journey I've been contemplating for many years. I'll be travelling solo and self-supported, camping out most nights along my generally northern route. I can make an argument both for and against taking...

Came across this suggestion just the other day and thought I'd bring it up for discussion: Instead of leaving your car keys on the kitchen counter at night, keep them on you nightstand. In the event that an intruder attempts to access your home, pressing the panic button will activate your...

Is the administrative arm of the NRA present on any gun boards? Seems to me that The High Road is one of the premier, if not THE premier gun board on the Net today, yet there is a deafening silence from the NRA when it comes to defending their policies or providing commentary on concerns from...
