That sounds like me when I try my luck at skeet. Trap I have no problems with and I should quit while I'm ahead.

That reminds me of the operation I had on the 6th of May. Cardiologist tells me I have a 95 percent blockage in the right Carotid. OK I said what do we do. She says we remove the blockage. The surgeon tells me the operation is serious and what he's going to do to correct it. I have the surgery...

Guy, a good friend of mine (retired Deputy Sheriff) travelled to Texas to hunt Nilgai. He took his 06 and Nosler 180 grain partitions. The bullets worked perfectly and he brought home some excellent tasting meat. (I've had my fair share) I don't know the range the animal was taken but everything...

I had the same issue coming back from an Elk Hunt in New Mexico. I was given a box of 180 grain Sierra BTSP's from the guide that assisted us with the hunt. I went through the check in at the airport and watched as my carry on bag went through X-ray. The little mexican fellow looked, looked...

Over the years I've run the total gamut of Rifle Scopes. In the old days had very good luck with the Rectangular Eyepiece Redfields. Low power Weavers for my Woods Deer Rifles. I used a Nikon 1X4 on a Ruger Deerstalker carbine. Over the years I transitioned to Leupold with a 2.5X8 on my 7-08. A...

In Florida the Governor plus a lot of sheriffs stated that if you are travelling in your motor vehicle and come upon these people and they block you off and attempt physical harm you can step on the gas and run as many over as required to leave the scene. I noticed we had a group of about 50 in...

Never owned a .338 Win Mag but I have a cousin in Alaska who absolutely swears by his pre 64 in .338. He was one of the first group to ever get a Buffalo Tag and the .338 worked like a charm. My .338 Ultra mag is on the .404 Jeffrey case but the same bullets come out of the barrel and the...

I've shot one heck of a lot of Deer with the 7-08. The recoil is pleasant and it hits with a lot of authority. When Elk hunting in Colorado I've seen other hunters carrying a .243 and when I ask them if that's a good idea for Elk the answer I usually get is "I go for neck shots only" I just...

Back in 2003 I flew from Orlando to Albuquerque and was required by South West Airlines to place my ammunition in a separate check-in bag. Have things changed or does the same requirement have to be met.

I got a serious case of lead poisoning while serving as a range officer/combat firearms instructor on our brand new police range. I used a Hepa vacumn cleaner, and mask that was supposed to eliminate lead inhalation on a weekly basis for range clean up. The problem we had was that the Town in...

Aha!!!! You brought up a very tender subject for me. Spent four years of my life in the Navy and ended up with Asbestos. It is anchored down in both lungs so I'm good so far. I do keep close tabs on it.

It will be 58 years for me in another month. I am fully aware of the ups and downs of a successful marriage. There are a number of Rocky roads along the way but constant work and love will get you through most anything. Congratulations and many more!!!

Guy, I come from the Vietnam era and I lost four good friends who were on the high school swimming team with me. We have had the travelling wall come through our area and it's still a bit difficult to look at the names of people who were your good friends.

I've heard that a lot of shooters use glasses with the reading portion (Normally lower lens) on the top instead of bottom. I'm going to try that on my next set. Since I've had cataract surgery I can get away with no glasses but this would be an interesting experiment.

Off shore Oil leases were suspended, Any Federal land with oil producing equipment was stopped (and that was a lot of land). The oil sands (on Federal land) were shut down. Supposedly oil production was increased under Biden (if you believe MSN) is that why we now only have 46 percent of our oil...

Have to disagree with you on that. Trump had the oil sands in the Dakotas going full blast. He was having other areas opened up for drilling when Biden took over. The first thing Biden did was shut down the oil sands. Then the pipeline. Then he started shutting down the wells at the behest of...

I own four Sigs, a P320, a P365XL, a P229 and a P226 (old German model). I have literally shot the sh-- out of them and not once have had a problem. The 320 issue is perpetuated a lot by Glock owners who have forgotten the glocks had the same trigger issue hence the comment "Glock leg". Sig...

Not to dispute the first comment but you won't be practicing your presentation at 10 feet. I have yet to talk to a survivor of a shoot out or looked at past records and found an officer or other person that has taken the time to try and aim. It is point shooting at its best.

I use a Leupold Red Dot for my S&W .22 caliber target pistol. As far as combat pistols are concerned I stay away from Red dots or any other type of mount. The normal distance for Self defense shooting is up to 21 feet. Most are far less. I'm 80 years old with cataract surgery and my eyes work...

Nice looking rifle. I'm running IMR4350 with 140 grain partitions through mine for just less than 1 inch groups. The 7-08 isn't fussy with powders and I'm sure you'll find a good combo.
