    How many rounds of ammo to take?

    I guess that I’ll also answer for my wife! 🙂 She generally carries around 15 rounds in the field, counting the 4 in the rifle and the balance of the box at camp. If we were hunting out of state, another 20 round box would travel with us! However, I don’t know why we carry so much ammo......in...

    How many rounds of ammo to take?

    mallardsx2, You kind of touched on a question that I was gonna ask...... how rounds do you bring to camp and how many rounds do you carry when in the field? This is my “go to” package......belt worn over clothing with, knife, diamond sharpener, and 14 round leather cartridge pouch (...

    Sighting in your rifle

    Having a 300 yard range right out the house back door, aids in playing around with 100 to 300 yard zero verifications. I always use the highest power setting to shoot a group, hopefully, representative of the rifle’s capabilities! We use a 300 yard zero , where the higher power settings help...

    NASCAR Race at the LA Coliseum

    I hope that you enjoy your time with your old buddies! Until Daytona 3 years ago, I was a lifelong NASCAR fan. I have not watched a race since and will never see another. I saw the first live televised race (Daytona -Donnie Allison Cale Yarbourough fight), and once vcr’s came available, I...

    Yes.....the reason it took years to move forward on that part of the range. My bookkeeper (wife) took a while to be convinced of the importance! We have a dump trailer which can carry 6 yards (very heavily loaded), and only 20 miles to the pit! It would have been quite expensive for them to...

    Thanks Rich! Most of my life I wanted rural property (read......far away from cities/people), and it took a while! At age 35 (1985) I moved to a small Wyoming town, but still had to travel about 5 miles to the local range......which wasn’t set-up for anything beyond 100 yards. 22 years...

    That Fall Feeling

    A little later than normal, but we may bump 34 F for a morning low this morning! Still lots of fall/winter work to do around the place.....will be (continue to be) very busy! 🤬 Now we can add getting the hunting gear ready, camper prepared, and final zero check on rifles and handgun...

    Gun/scope combo

    OK......opinions! Much like other things, everybody has one! 😁 I see it as a potentially valid case that it’s “too” much scope.....depending upon it’s desired use and the terrain it is to be used in! For small varmints at extended ranges.....great selection! For big game at extended ranges...

    The tarp method is one we’ve used numerous times over the years, but it’s a “pib” to place it and weigh it down....as it’s seems the wind blows every time we try to put down the tarp! This fairly large area will give us the opportunity to practice moving while addressing the targets. Homemade...

    If a shooting range “can” be classified as gear! 🤔 We’ve had a 300 yard range with a backstop at our home for about 20 years. But, it was impractical for semi-auto handgun work, as the brass was near unrecoverable......so, we did very little practice with our defense handguns! That was changed...

    .338 230gr ELD-X Loads???

    Wow! I just realized that this OP was over a year old......but, my opinion is still in effect! 😉 I have just the opposite experience with the ELD-X’s, though in my grandaughter’s 6.5 Creed! In doing a water jug test at close range (30 yards) against other bullets of similar velocities...

    Who else is...

    Another thought on getting ready for the hunt! Acclimatization......for hunt conditions. Fitness is only part. If possible, though very difficult for most.....altitude acclimation. Another, and much easier, as it requires no effort, though as in real-estate “location-location- location”...

    interesting read for those who care

    As with any disease, it’s to be taken seriously..... especially to those that have one (or) more of the personal issues that makes it potentially deadly for them! But, there are many diseases that are far more deadly that we never/rarely talk about! There are many things that make this disease...
