I feel sheepish when people paint with that broad of a brush. I was on a Navy repair tender tied up in Subic Bay, PI. or somewhere in Japan for much of Vietnam. I am not a war hero, never served in-country, got shot or shot anyone else, but I know what some of our boys went thru. Thirty five years l...

The Wal-Mart Federal 550 pack is my mainstay with my MKIII. I shoot a box per week. I had a few hangups originally, but after going to the Volquartsen extractor I haven't had one since. The Remington 333 shoots as well, cost exactly the same price, and it the preferred 'cheap' round in a Beretta 21A...

My Henry lever carbine feeds and ejects shorts like it was designed to run them. I'll have to take that toy to the range next time I destroy a pot (MrsBFD was going to check @ Goodwill today), easier to clean and more fun to shoot than the 10/22 anyway! I agree. I have never shot the longs or short...

NRA local meeting.
I went to my first local NRA meeting tonight with the Banquet/fund raiser and all. It was very interesting although quite expensive for my lot in life. I was taken back at the lack of Police Officers, where were the dozens of Officers I know? Are Cops on the other side of the armed society, foe of t...

I found them to be worse than steel sights. I tried them and they were larger than my target. I put it on backwards and it was a big improvement but still too large, I finally went back to the standard front sight and shoot better with it. More stuff sitting in the bottom of my shooting bag keeping ...

I picked up a metal frame stand at the flea market this weekend. I made a steel plate about 9" in diameter and hung it with two chains. I'm looking forward to hearing the clink and getting some feedback from 100 yards. I can hear the bullet hit the cardboard if Rambo isn't shooting his ar-10 at the ...

Center Point Chinese Made Scopes
I added a 3-9x32 (AR22 Series) Scope to my Henry and I am really surprised how much fun you can have with a $54. scope. The ocular adjustment was what made the sale. With or w/o glasses, this is clear as a bell. My Son-in-law gave me a Leupold 4x that I can't see out of but see perfectly with the 3-...

I shoot my Mark III Ruger at 100 yards most of the time. The last time I was at the outdoor range in the National Forest, some guy brought a decoy crow to shoot at. He couldn't hit it with his single shot Ithaca rifle in .22LR caliber and I asked him if he wanted it ventilated. He looked at my pisto...
