    2-Leftover antelope tags filled with 2-bolt pistols

    When I made application earlier in the year for antelope, I did not draw what I wanted, so I put in for some leftover tags that were private land only. I have a relatively small piece of land I can hunt on, and that was better than nothing. I knew that with my buck tag, I would take whatever...

    2-Center Grip Bolt Pistols (6GT & 25 Creedmoor)

    Edited to add a quick pic While I was dropping off an XP-100 (284 Winchester) that I had sold to a friend, I also picked up a couple of rebarrel jobs that I had been waiting for. It made for a fun morning. I had a couple of scopes (Leupold Mark 4 4.5-14 FFP and a Burris XTR-II 8-40) that had...

    Just a fun share

    A week ago Friday we finished setting up steel for WY-SHOT. Our specialty pistol shooters will be engaging steel from about 175 yards, to out past 1450 yards :) That was not a typo. After Dan and I moved a couple of targets that were hard to see, we set-up the longest one. We went back to where...

    Thinking outside the box for standing shots...Finally!

    On two different days this past week, I went out to Mac’s Gunworks to finish up a little bit of load development with one XP, but also to try different things from standing positions for a future South Africa hunt. It’s odd, how you can have something in your mind a certain way, and you only...

    2026 South Africa Hunting Prep will start soon

    Still have not set dates yet, but I plan to take a small group of folks (All handgun hunters) to South Africa in the Summer of 2026. I took a 357 Mag revolver and a problematic XP-100 last time which created all kinds of headaches (The XP), despite good success. Next year, there will be no Bog...

    Favorite "whatever" cartridges...

    I have enjoyed the "Favorite XYZ" cartridge threads. At first, I didn't really think about it, I just answered. But the more I read, the more a specific thought came to mind....I am not really a "favorite cartridge" or "I hate this cartridge" guy. I am always the guy who is looking for a...

    TEXAS hunting with handguns

    I had a great time in TX with an old friend and with some new ones. I was able to help with a handgun hunting course, put on by Texas Parks, and Wildlife, and then at night, we were hunting for hogs and predators. During the day hunting, a first time handgun hunter (attended the class), who...

    I appreciate the respectful spirit here

    I am still on a number of forums. There is one forum I am on which is notorious for "Flaming Others", and I am not talking about The Hide either. I typically only interact on the Long Range Hunting section there, and I know @FOTIS is on there as well. All of that being said, I really appreciate...
