Don, I offer my condolences to you and your family.

Dan I don't think it's just Humming Birds that like the sugar water since I have seen Wrens and various finches visit the feeders I have hanging along with Brown Bats. Once the Bats get a sweet tooth they will empty a feeder nightly and you have to remove it to get rid of them.

Don, good job buddy, once you learn something like operating equipment I don't think you ever lose the skills you learn. You may be a little rusty at first but it just seems to come back naturally. Besides driving tractor trailers I also worked in the construction industry operating everything...

My first 30-06 was a used 725 Remington that was stolen and recovered sticking barrel first in a muddy cleek bed and returned to the owner by police. It took me literally years to get all the mud out of it, the barrel bore was still bright and shiny and would shoot respectful groups. I mounted a...

To be honest Fotis, you pay for what you get. I have had just about every brand of what you would call reasonably priced muffs and none of them work great for what you're looking for. As you know I shoot pistols competitively on outdoor ranges, some covered and some wide open and none of the...

Didn't mean to kill your post. I was laughing at the difference in velocity between my loads and yours. For a light practice load give 3.8-4.0 grs of tight group under a 185gr hard cast lead SWC. That load will run a slide mounted 5oz red dot on the slide with a 13lb flat wire spring and full...

Hahaha, nice looking pistol, please excuse me for laughing but my target loads run around 700-750fps and if you stand behind me while I shoot you can actually see the bullet hit the target at 50yds, almost like watching a 50cal MG round going down range. I'm not knocking your 45 Super since it...

Don you have my prayers and more, so sorry to hear this new development.

My first Muzzle loader was a TC Hawkin kit that I put together and learned how to rust Brown the metal like they did before Royal Bluing came along, funny it was a rust process also. Nice looking rifle Guy bet it shoots good.

Thanks Guy, I give the credit to the man that put the parts together, I've shot enough 45acp to know what should work with a little refinement of the powder charge, the basic loads are all old standby loads developed by other people, change the primer, tweak the powder charge for every different...

I put it all together today so I'll treat you to some eye candy. The frame I already had, it's a Caspian 1911 frame I use for my 38 Super but you can use any 1911 frame, not sure about using a 2011 frame.

Here's a couple of pictures of the smoky conditions. The day before and the start of the match and the second day of the match.

Well due to Canadian wildfire smoke some of our matches were canceled due to dangerous health conditions. I only got to shoot 2/3 of the 2700 match and then those results weren't good due to blurry eyesight and hard breathing caused by the smoke. The smoke was so thick we couldn't see lake Eire...

After shooting both the 4.4gr N310 and 4.5gr powder charge across the chronograph Sunday I settled on the 4.5gr load and loaded up 250 rounds to take with me to Camp Perry. Velocity for the 4.5gr load was more consistent and functioned the pistol reliably.

Hunting big game I do a lot of scouting to locate where they are traveling to and from once I locate them I use still hunting method which is a slow style of stalking, about like hunting grey squirrels or fox squirrels, when I hunted small game, birds or rabbits I walk and flush them.
