I have been cooking a lot more ever since my family moved out of the exploding city to a smaller town. There's not as many restaurants and many of us have health issues that don't need to be aggravated by fast food anyway, plus it is actually possible to get to the grocery store out here, it's...

Well I moved almost a couple years ago and am finding that the house I moved into has foundation issues. We quite simply don't have the money to pay what professionals are asking to fix it, not to mention they couldn't find the actual problem, we had to find and diagnose they issue ourselves, so...

I had posted earlier on this subject but deleted it, not because it was terribly off beat but just because it was a somewhat reactionary post to something that ticked me off to learn about. I looked into it a bit more and it is sometimes called "cloud seeding." Basically someone is dumping...

Hey there, I'm wondering if anyone has any ultrasonic cleaning machines they would suggest? I had someone ask about them but I have never used one myself, and quite frankly I am totally unfamiliar with what is available.

I have just watched a video that is explaining some the advancements in AI lately. Few understand what we are actually dealing with, but I have some familiarity because my brother has been involved in the field. Believe it or not, it is becoming possible to read peoples minds by having an AI...

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...

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...

I just read this somewhere and thought it was pretty funny, "I'm technically a vegetarian because cows are made out of grass and water."

Wow. Scary thing just happened in my front yard this evening. At my new house there is a fairly active road with people driving by throughout the day. My front yard goes right up to the road, but there is a steep hill about five feet high where the road sets above the level of the yard. On the...

https://www.sigsauer.com/blog/us-army-selects-sig-sauer-next-generation-squad-weapons-system Looks like Sig has won the Next Generation Squad Weapon contract for the U.S. Army. They are planning to replace all the AR-15 rifles and FN SAWs slowly over the next so many years. Very interesting and...

I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a good belt? I don't know if you would call it a duty belt or a gun belt or whatever, but I need something new that is stiff enough for the knives I always carry around. I'm not looking for anything fancy, so it doesn't need to be leather, I...

Well it looks like I'm moving to south Arkansas within the week! Happened fast but I think I'm happy about the move. I never thought I would want to leave Texas, the culture out here has definitely rubbed off on me even if the accent has not. I was born in California and never lost the habit of...

I was just reading ShadeTree's topic, "On game performance" and hearing all the .35 love had me wondering what anyone's experience with the .350 Legend is. It is a newer cartridge so I was always a little skeptical it was mostly marketing, and it was designed to work in an AR platform which made...

Well, being a gunsmithing student, I couldn't just leave the gunsmithing topic empty. For anyone here who may be interested in gunsmithing for personal projects or as a profession but don't know how to learn without having to go to a college, which is sub-par most of the time with few exceptions...

I found this an interesting read, both concerning hypocritical Canadian political leaders, and some really top notch shooting by Canadian snipers. https://riflebarrels.com/canadian-special-forces/

I'm thinking of maybe getting a modern muzzle loader and looking for some suggestions. If possible, I would like something made in the U.S., but I'm also looking for something affordable, not sure if those things go hand in hand. In the end i would probably go for something cheap and made...

Hey folks, I had a simple question about different types of shotguns and why you would want to own each type. Between pump action, over under, and side by side shotguns, what would you say is the distinct performance differences that would motivate buying one over each of the the others?

Hey there, I'm curious if anyone has advice on twist rates for traditional muzzle loaders. I know that patched round balls and minie bullets tend to like different twists more, but is there a twist that works well for both? Essentially if I could chose to shoot one better, it would be minie...

Hey everyone. I have never reloaded before and don't expect to be able to buy the equipment to do so any time soon, but that hasn't stopped me from wanting to learn more on how to do it. I came across Nosler's reloading guide on their website and started wondering if there might be any good...

My dad is looking for a good high eye relief scope to mount on his Savage Scout rifle. I am not super familiar with scout scopes so I was wondering if anyone here has any suggestions. I wouldn't want to suggest anything junky to him (something that will break), but he is on a budget so it...
