I live near El Dorado. Small town compared to where I used to live, and anything bigger is at least an hour away, but it is just about the right size for me.

Phew! You take care of yourself. Prayers for you and yours.

I have looked at that rifle quite a lot. It would be a great option if I decided I didn't want to go custom.

So I got both a recurve and a compound bow over Christmas, and I'm now trying to figure out how to set up a spot in my yard to start practicing. Is there a type of target that any would recommend, I'm not really sure what make the most sense. Also for practice, what type of arrow head do you...

Wow, I wish some other American manufacturer would make some factory rifles based off the 700 at this point. So sad that a perfectly good rifle design is being wasted by poor manufacturing. Are the Bergaras a 700 based action, or do they just have the same footprint? I seem to remember some...

This is the setup Owen Grady wishes he had at Jurassic World, :sneaky:

I got both a recurve and compound bow for Christmas! Now I just need to get something to shoot at, he he. I also got a Spyderco Endura pocket knife for myself which I have been eyeballing for 2 years. It went on a rare sale this year so I had to nab one.

What's a barrel tuner?

KinleyWater, just adding sights to the scope base is probably a good idea for last ditch sights since it would be relatively easy. I don't have the experience to say how much more difficult it would be to shoot accurately with the short sight radius but it would mean you can shoot again if you...

I think you have some good points. I wasn't sure if mounting on a threaded barrel would present an issue or not, I am not aware of anyone who has tried, so I figured the only way to find out might be to try it. It would have to be carefully shimmed to line up 12 o' clock, but I am not sure that...

I have a hard time wanting to buy a gun that doesn't have an option for iron sights. First of all, I like shooting with irons, second of all I like to have the option in case my optic fails. We could sit and argue how reliable optics have gotten, cause they have gotten pretty darn good, but I...

I'm so sorry for everyone here who has lost dogs recently, my grandparents lost theirs not long ago too. My grandpa said it was about the saddest thing he had done to bury his little friend. I lost my oldest cat some years ago, had to have her put down because she couldn't breath properly. I was...

I have a Mossberg 590. When things started to get weird in my old neighborhood, my Dad asked me if I had to choose a defensive gun in 30 seconds, what would it be? In 2 seconds a gave my definite answer, a Mossberg 590. It now has Magpul furniture on it, and a red dot that may or may not...

This is so sad to hear, and I have heard it more and more often lately. I have an unquestioned faith in a God who is my savior, and this is my solace in the pains of life. When I hear about this though, it makes me burn with a passion to lift my loved ones up in any way I can and make certain as...

Oh neat! What model and caliber?

Wow, neat! I've considered getting a replica of an old Sharps before. I like old rifles like these.

Thanks everyone, and especially you Blkram. I will probably be re-reading your post frequently as I get into archery!

My relatively recent move has me on a big enough piece of property that I can practice shooting a bow safely on it, so obviously I want to! I would love to eventually bow hunt, but I will be sticking to target practice for a good while. The thing is I know almost zilch about bows, so I am...

What others have said would be my first suspicions, worn out spring, or gummed up internals. A less likely problem that comes to mind though is that the firing pin tip could have been damaged somehow and is no longer protruding properly, or perhaps the firing pin could have gotten burred and is...

My Mom was bit by a smaller wolfy once. They are not deadly but their bite can eat away your skin. It is kind of the effect of getting a burn. Ran into a Brown Recluse only once, hiding in a closet in some kid play tents. Nobody got bit, thank goodness. Encountered many more Black Widows than...
