    Help with iron sights

    Whatever happens you need to lower the front sight. The only time that I have seen where you need to max out the elevation ramp is for those longer shots 200 + yards. If your front sight is a ramp you can try filing it down, if it is a bead you would be better off looking for a lower one.

    On your rifle do you have a screw on the front sight that can be loosened where you can lower or raise the front sight?

    Ear Protection When Hunting

    Brakes are nice for load development but that is about it. When I was doing some practicing before my hunt in 2015 I could only take around 10 shots with my .340 Weatherby before my shoulder wouldn't take it anymore. But with the brake on it was like shooting my 30-06, but I'll never hunt...

    Ear Protection When Hunting

    That was selective hearing loss to the frequency of your wife's and children's voices. As for me I didn't start wearing hearing protection until I started shooting large bore pistols. I found that a .357 magnum was worse than a .44 magnum as far as shooting without protection. But back then...

    Drone Ruins Sandhill Crane Hunt

    It's sad but this is what we are going to have to live with being hunters and having to deal with either the non hunting public that wants to get pictures or those who want to keep us from shooting a animal or bird. A number of years ago I was on a bison hunt in Utah and we had located a herd...

    Coming To Colorado for the Hunts

    If you are getting packed up and getting ready to head to the high country of Colorado be prepared for wet and sloppy conditions. The snows and rain last week did a good number above 7000-8,000 feet so be warned.

    That was technically what I meant. And before someone else mentions it, yes you can fire the original round in the AI chamber to fire form the cartridge or if that is all you can find. I'm just used to shooting the semi wildcats and wildcat rounds that I have where you have to resize the...

    6.8 Western

    A lot of people don't want to go to the bother of forming cases and loading them to get the improvements that a Ackley affords. And in some cases the improved version doesn't improve the existing one that much. They want to be able to walk into a store that has stocked shelves and pick up what...
