A Cartridge in a Bare Tree. Disclaimer: It's not original and I've posted it before but maybe there are some new folk that might enjoy it.

Nothing but green-eyed envy here for your setup. (It's just a leeeetle too far to drive on the weekends for me from Minnesota.) Just to torture myself I imagine what a day at YOUR range might be like. "I'm going to shoot really fast today to function test my semi-auto. Anybody mind?"...

Disclaimer: I posted this in another forum but thought I'd post it here too just for the enjoyment of anyone that didn't see it. In the 1924 Olympics one of the shooters on the firing line got into an argument with an official that resulted in him dropping his rifle which went off and the...

I feel I must pile on and criticize the president too. If I didn’t know better, and I believed his statement: then my reaction would be that we need tougher gun laws. I’m pretty sure that’s the reaction the president is trying to get. But I do know better. The teens with the Glocks...

You MOCK Ms Barringer and yet taken point by point she is totally VINDICATED by someone who took a little time to investigate instead of just snark! So there!!! Video of the 'Double Shot Assault Rifle Clip Scope Adapter From Grocery Store' in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clxRz-AXv8o

I wonder how long he had been doing the reenactment? Was this his first time or had he be involved in it for weeks, months or even years?

Didn't James Garner do that in "Support Your Local Sheriff", or was it the other one, "Support Your Local Gunfighter"?

Congratulations is just trite and inadequate but that’s all I’ve got. (Guess that’s why YOU’RE the writer.) I sure wouldn’t mind if you showed off a little bit and posted a picture of all your books. It’s actually kind of inspirational. I believe Vince Flynn, another writer I enjoy...

A very old story from the Reader’s Digest ‘Humor In Uniform’ section was about a young soldier who was shown the cigarette filter trick by an old hand on the rifle range. He used it but after a few times his ears got rubbed raw by the filters. The old hand told him to smear a little Brylcreem on...

az_imuth WOW. I am just...speechless.

+1 for Maia007 and the very accurate Winchester 52 rifle and Hi Standard pistol. Maybe include the .22 S&W Model 41 pistol. Since most of the military arms have already been mentioned several times I'll add any Olympic level rifle, pistol or shotgun. These might include but not be limited...

It's 6:55 CDT, do YOU know where your AMMO is???!!! For the younger crowd, there use to be public service announcements on TV (maybe radio too) in the evening listing the time and asking if you knew where your children were. It was an attempt to make parents feel guilty if they didn't know...

In one of W.E.B. Griffin's books (which are fiction, but I *think* this scene was based on fact) he had President Johnson shooting trap on his ranch in Texas with guests. Understandably it gave the Secret Service fits.

Anyone can NOT get an article published!!! Congratulations on your accomplishment and +1 to letting us know when it comes out. Are you or have you tried Shooting Times, Gun and Ammo etc?

It's late, I'm tired but here's a thought somebody else must of thought of before... line some targets up directly behind each other at 100, 150, 200 etc and fire one group...if the group is 1 inch a 100, 1.5 at 150 and 2 at 200 that's kind of what you'd expect...if the groups at the longer...

Just on the off chance that someone has NOT heard this joke before I'll post it now. In Viet Nam Joe Army acquired an AK-47 that he desperately wanted to keep for his own use. He disassembled the rifle and over the course of several weeks shipped each part of the rifle home to his wife...

I think the director's point in his story to TV Guide about being told that Arness was hard to work with was to show how thoroughly the director had been set up for the practical joke they played on him. A lot of good information about James Arness can be found at his website...

Officers'Wife I respect your opinion on full auto. I also REALLY envy your chance to fire a piece of firearms history like a vintage BAR. From what I understand the BAR would be a real handful, heavy (which would help taming the recoil) but firing .30-06 cartridges which have a goodly...

Thank you Sam1911. +1 that our laws should be straight forward enough that the average guy can understand them. For Pete sake, break the law and you can be arrested, fined or sent to jail or at a minimum have to go to a court and try to explain yourself and probably have to get a lawyer and...

Gunsmoke Story This is a repost from a long time ago but it is still one of my favorite stories. It comes from an article in TV Guide. A TV director said the most memorable moment in his career was the day he took over as the replacement director for the hit TV show Gunsmoke. He had been...
