If you are shooting indoors make sure you have proper forced ventilation. When I was a range officer on the PD we had a brand new range built with air filters and other equipment that supposedly eliminated the need for ventilation going to the outside. We religiously kept the floor clean and...

Listening to the stories I think about all the hurricanes (and one tornado) I've been through over the past 34 years in Florida. In each and every one I lost power usually for 3-4 days till the ancient Florida Power and Light grid was repaired. I have a permanent spot in my garage for our...

Kayaking is a death wish down here. They sit so low to the water that anything can climb onto it. Two weeks ago we had a lady kayaking in one of our Fresh water springs with a group of people and they spotted a number of gators on the bank. They continued on passing the gators and one of the...

I have stuck with basically the lower power end of Riflescopes. A Zeiss 1.5X6 (clear as a bell) on my ,338RUM Elk Rifle. A 3X9 Kahles on my .300 Win Mag. A 2.5X8 Leupy on my 7X08. My longest shot at an Elk was 326 yards and the Zeiss at 6 power worked perfectly. A 1X4 Leupy firedot on my AR is...

Interesting. I used a totally different kind of weapon for a cottonmouth that was in a bad mood and coming at our canoe like it meant serious business. Canoeing in Florida is interesting as you have to respect Gators, snakes and other types of animals. I saw this cottonmouth approaching and...

Here I go again. I'm working on 59 years with the same woman who has hung with me through the highs and lows. As Guy knows working on a PD really puts a strain on the marriage. She stuck by me and I'm very thankful.

Geez and here I am pushing 81. I've been called a lot of old fart stuff but this is a first.

I know the feeling Doc. I want to get up and go but it appears I'm stuck in first gear.

My long Range rig is a plain jane. My Remington 700 in .338RUM with a 26 inch factory barrel wears a McMillian stock and a 1.5 X 6 Zeiss Scope. The trigger is a Tubbs Custom (2 1/2 lbs). I've shot it with 225 grain Sierras and Partitions out to 600 yards. Average group is 3-4 inches off a rest...

It also came out that prior to the meeting with Trump and Vance Zalenski was talking with Democrats (he was caught talking to them) and I'm sure they screwed his head up pretty good prior to the Trump meeting. Now I see that Zalensky (by letter) agrees with Trump and wants to get back down to...

Excellent comment and very to the point!!

That's interesting. I've used a chrony on my P226 .357 Sig shooting Underwood 125 grain ammo. I'm getting just over 1500FPS. Other factory ammo comes in around 1350FPS. My handloads are coming in at around 1475FPS. I guess underwood knows how to work its magic.

I had an extra long magazine in my Christensen Arms .300 Mag and a short throat that allowed me basically no room other than about factory length. Really no room for moving the bullet around. I solved that problem with a good gunsmith. Now the throat gives me plenty of room and I start at .015...

I retired from the PD at 47 and moved from Connecticut to Florida three days later. I generally wake up at 0630 and first order of business is a coffee and a sit on the back porch. Since retiring I've worked a large variety of part time jobs none of which required and early rise. At 80 I do one...

I've been using either IMR4350 or RL17 with 140 Grain Sierras or 140 Partitions in mine. My Rifle is a first year Remington 700 Titanium which with a scope and ammo is at 6lbs. Even with the light weight I'm getting 3 shot inch groups or less at 100 yards.

I wasn't going to say anything until you brought up the Russian Asset crap. That is old garbage and has been disproven on many occasions. I'm getting the feeling that you're one of our liberal members. Get over it you lost or better yet if you don't like what we have now please buy a plane ticket.

Now that's enough of that Scotty. When I was in the Navy (Nam 65-66) we were very cordial and took you wherever you wanted to go (and some places you didn't) . Always got a thumbs up from you guys.

Fotis, you have got yourself a peach. That gun will outshoot you 7 days a week. I shot a friend's a while back and what a pleasure.

My dad worked in a war production plant and when attempting to sign up he was told in so many words "get back to your job you're needed there". Two uncles that served in the South Pacific one being a spotter plane pilot and the other ground forces. Both made it back in one piece with a lot of...

You need to come to Florida. Cardinals are like Sparrows down here. A bird feeder brings them in.
