Having taken one buck and a young doe thus far this bowseason, I was out for one more doe for the freezer. I have been shooting very well this year, and it was the first year for me to try carbon arrows and expandable broadheads. Both deer taken to this point died within easy sight of the stand...

Planning on chasing a few deer around with the .460 in a few days, so went out to re-check it...understand this is a gravel pit, using a WorkMate as a rest, etc...not a range. Because it is (relatively) cheap, and I have shot more of it than anything else, I set up at 50yds with Hornady 200gr...

but, may I take the opportunity to provide a reminder? ( As I type one-handed, with a thick bandage on one finger and a wound that has soaked through 3 bandages and continues to bleed.) Use care with those broadheads, and use the provided wrench to tighten them This is the first time I've...

In the great state of WI have decreed that blackpowder guns may have no optics (for hunting, obviously) that provide any magnification. In other words, I guess only red dots, holosight types, or a 1X scope. I am a crosshairs kind of guy, but in browsing thru catalogs I have yet to find a 1X...

I dragged out my S&W revolver collection (alright, collection may be too strong a word....my 5 revolvers ;) one rainy day this week and resolved to do some preventive maintenance. Using my newly obtained gunsmith-type screwdrivers, I removed the cylinder latches on all and applied blue Loctite...

This should stoke the flames !!!!! Not great quality vid, but OH MAN.... http://www.fieldandstream.com (Find the video part way down the center of the page) In my mind, what makes this so cool is not only a potential world record, but FREE-RANGING (no fences, high or low) and natural -...

Being from WI (one of the unenlightened states as far as CCW) I don't know as much as I should about carry options. But I am trying to untangle the lingo...where can I go to understand what IWB, etc,etc, means?

My personal HD credo has always been to establish a safe room that is defensible in the case of an intrusion (Only my wife and myself in home) from which to hunker down and call for LE help...though any attempt to breach or approach said room would be met with defensive fire. (I know it doesn't...

Was visiting another forum, and it seemed to be fashionable to look down one's nose at anyone who had applied paint to increase the visibility of their revolver sights. What gives? I remember the first day I climbed into a deer stand w/ my Model 29 (red ramp,white outline) and discovered that...

I know the story behind the original S&W Registered Magnum, and, alas, can only drool over them as they pass through auction sites at other-worldly prices, but what can you tell me about the "new" RM...is it truly hand-fitted, and is it truly registered to the buyer thru S&W, and does it have...

There are some great arguments and points made in these threads, which should be carefully pondered for any situation, but PLEASE do not call upon the so called oracle box o truth...their shoddy experimental methods and lack of repetition generally render their so-called experiments mildly...

It seems "conventional wisdom" indicates that a slower, heavier, non-spitzer type bullet deflects less in the brush than a lighter, high-speed spitzer. Hence the "my 30-30 is a great brush gun" or "with slugs I can shoot right through the brush". However, I recall at least one study (? G&A...

Although I own a few S&W revolvers, I am not an expert on model #'s, features, etc. I have decided I need another revolver to round out my collection...I know what I want, but not what to look for - I will list the features I want, and perhaps the experts can tell me what model/ year(s) to look...

Consider this situation and tell me what you would do... This a private land deer hunt, with neighboring private lands on all sides. You have worked hard thru the year improving habitat, food plots, etc. and have your eye on at least one trophy buck that's hanging around. On opening day, you...

Was looking at a nice Model 1892 saddle ring carbine in the pawnshop the other day, and it wanted to come home with me, but considering the $$$, thought I'd better do some research on serial numbers/age, etc. One thing I can't seem to find - which of the calibers offered is the most scarce...

In general, what is the best way to understand if high-power loads are OK for a particular pistol?

I have a dusty old 870 Wingmaster (circa 1972) in the back of the safe that I have decided to set up for HD use. I have followed the forum enough to discount the pistol-grip setup, and believe I will stick with the familiar stock rather than go with a folder. That leaves me with a barrel mod...

I have the following handguns (and would limit this discussion to handguns) available for home defense. I shoot each of these with relatively equal proficiency, and all have proven reliable. Your opinions on each, along with recommended load, would be appreciated. My opinion about home...

Now that I have my first AR (S&W M&P15T), and about six good 30rd mags, I would like to hear your "strategy" for loaded mags....Is it better to load them up 5 rounds short to avoid max spring compression for long-term storage? Should upper rounds be rotated after some time? etc, etc.

I checked the serial number on a Model 94 given to me recently and found it was manufactured in 1954 (older than I thought). 19" barrel w/hooded front sight(post with white dot, drift adjustable). The rear sight has a wide, nearly semi-circular notch which is narrowed to a V by an insert held...
