    how are things different this time from the previous AWB?

    I'm seeing alot of outcry from citizens and recently alot of sheriffs are saying that they will refuse to enforce an AWB. It has been a long time but I don't recall this kind of outcry during the previous AWB. I mean plenty of rifles were banned and magazines were capped just as...

    improvised steel targets?

    yesterday I found a big hunk of round steel that looks perfect for target practice. I have yet to try it out yet though. It appears to be an old flywheel, probably from a tractor. It's about 18" across and about an inch thick. I doubt any gun I own could even put a dent into it. Now...

    hearing protection for kids?

    I'm checking out Amazon looking for some muffs for my two older sons (6yrs and 9 yrs). We'll be shooting rimfires outdoors so I don't expect alot of noise on this trip but I would like something that will last them a long time and protect them well.

    taking kids to the range for the first time.

    I'm taking my kids to the range for the first time this weekend. They've been learning the four rules and we've practiced them some but never in a "real" situation. What should I be teaching them during these early range sessions? Practicing good safety is a must but what else should they...

    fitting a 10/22 for my 9 year old

    We recently moved into a rural area where target shooting is free rather than having to pay $15/hour. I'm anxious to get something my son can learn on. We were gifted a Winchester Model 67 but it is too large and too heavy for my son. I've thought alot about picking up a Ruger 10/22. I...

    news about the Halloween shooting?

    I've seen a few news stories about a convicted felon who fired a full clip from an AK47 through his front door and killed some trick or treaters on halloween night. I did some searches and browsed the forums extensively but I can't find a single thread on the topic. I can't believe that such a...

    becoming a felon/losing your guns

    I was just reading a story about a renowned professional hunter who was convicted of stealing some very valuable Big Horn Sheep heads and convicted of a felony. The article said that he was forced to turn over more than 100 firearms that he owned. If you are convicted of a felony are you...

    states moving in the right direction?

    I've seen several posts about which states have good gun rights. This usually comes from people looking to move to a new state. There are a number of gun-friendly states but some of these gun-friendy states are moving downhill as far as gun rights go. I currently live in Colorado which is...

    indestructible bullet puller?

    About every 100 rounds or so I inevitably swing my bullet puller the wrong way and strike the cap on the brick that I use as a solid surface destroying the cap and ruining my bullet puller. I've gone through 3 of them so far and its getting frustrating. Does any company make a bullet...

    Zombie Targets?

    I did a few searches and found nothing 99% of all topics with the word zombie in it are closed. I was looking for some targets with zombie images on them but all I've found is www.zombietargets.net The targets look nice enough but I'm not sure about the prices. Its seems high to me...

    double load in 45 acp? (oopsie)

    I just finished loading about 100 rounds of 45 acp. I realized at the end that I had made a mistake that caused me to throw a double powder load into one of the 100. gaahh!! I'm currently making use of my bullet puller. I'm curious though, is a double load in 45 acp enough to cause me...

    powder storage question

    I reloaded a good supply a while back. After I was done I left the hopper (is that the right term?) about half full of powder. Its been sitting there for at least a few months (maybe up to six). Its a Dillon SDB and Its had the lid on the hopper but I doubt its as well sealed as the...

    Is this going to be a good load? (45 acp)

    I recently switched from a 1911 to an H&K for my concealed carry. I only shot lead with the 1911 and I had a "recipe" that I liked alot. Now, HK's can't shoot lead so I had to buy some copper bullets (230gr) and now I'm on the lookout for a new formula. I use titegroup powder and the web...

    what if you harmed a loved one?

    I recently watched a very graphic video of a man removing his thumb in a power tool accident. Now, woodworking is one of my other hobbies and I have alot of power tools around. It got me thinking about whether I would sell all my tools if I seriously injured myself. To be honest, I think I...

    Is it worth it? (how to proceed)

    I recently picked an HK USP Compact. They have a polygonal barrel and highly recommend against shooting any lead whatsoever. I reload lead exclusively at the moment. I have a few options but I welcome any comments or recommendations for one course of action or another. Option #1: Shoot lead...

    I did a few searches and failed to locate the post that I remembered seeing. can anyone give me the rundown on available hearing protection for kids? My oldest son is 5 years old and may be ready to observe a bit of shooting. My 2 year old still cries during thunder storms so he has...

    The uspC compared to the XD45

    I'm comparing the HK USPC in .45 with the SA XD45. I'm not sure which XD compares most closely to the USPC (in size) but I find it odd that the USPC only holds 8 rounds while similarly sized XD's hold 10 rounds or more. Is it an HK policy decision to have it hold fewer rounds or just a...
