We were picking up shot up folding tables, microwaves, pallets (both plastic and wood), cardboard, kids toys, bottles, cans, and the list goes on. Like I said, as much as we hauled out of there, you'd never know it with what there is still out there.

Just an FYI/Update - It looks like the USFS is shutting down the Sycamore/Sugarloaf Mtn. area to shooting and campfires. They're building a big barricade at the entrance to that road. According to a Forest Service guy I talked to, the trash has gotten so bad out there that they decided to shut...

There are a lot of people who shoot at various places along 4-Peaks Rd and the Sycamore Creek area across Hwy 87. There are too many trails and roads to do any long range shooting out there though. If you do decide to shoot out there *please* make sure you're shooting in a safe direction and...

I've been shooting a bullseye league with my trusty old Buckmark and I've noticed my grips could use some customizing. Rather than whittle on the nice Browning grips I plan to shave some down from blocks. Has anyone done this? I imagine I could come up with something suitable (maybe a bit...

It's tempting to try to make my own from blocks of wood or some other moldable material. There's not much to the back side of the grips that are on there. I just don't trust my skills! :) That and I don't have a ton of spare time to devote to something like that. The grips I have look...

Those look almost exactly like the ones from Midwest. Nice! I've been shooting in a Bullseye league with my Buckmark 5.5 Target and doing pretty well, but my grips (big Browning wood with finger grooves) have always bugged me a little. I don't know if it's worth $230 to try those though. Yikes.

Specifically I've been drooling over the ones available at Midwest Gun Works, but recently I realized they are LEFT hand only! Doh! Is anyone aware of something similar available anywhere else? Or where might I find something like this used?

I'll second the Mil Pro PT-111. If she doesn't have a problem with recoil it sounds like it would suit her well. They are (or at least ours is) incredibly accurate for having such a short barrel. My wife thinks it's a bit too snappy and doesn't like the long, double-action trigger, but she...

Just for the record here... I wasn't disappointed with the .40's performance, just surprised. It was off the shelf (probably Remington) standard hollow point. For your standard 'zombie' defense or whatever two-legged predator, I can see the value. Out in the woods it seems like you'd want...

My dad and I ended up in an area like that a couple of years ago looking for Javelina. It seemed like every wash and ravine had clothes, water bottles and some kind of electrolyte drink bottles in it. It was pretty far north for all that stuff too. We were surprised to see it. Some border...

I'm amazed at what will stop a .40 cal HP. My dad and I were shooting his P226 into 1 gallon water jugs (old milk jugs) a couple of weeks ago. When we were done I found one slug still inside the jug! There was no way it could have gotten in there other than to be stopped between the walls of...

How about Brad Pitt's draw at the card game in Mr. & Mrs. Smith?

Good to know that the 1911 (or more specifically .45 ACP) still seems like a reasonable option in the woods. It seems like there's a lot of talk about it being too slow or just not powerful enough overall so I got curious. I need to go find some hot loads to try now. :)

I don't know if the numbers really stack up to make it look like the Iraqis and Afghans are doing very well. I haven't looked at the numbers lately, but aren't the body counts 10-100x what the US/Allied casualties are? Politically and probably on some moral levels they're doing more damage...

I'll try to do the quick version of my story... I was hunting elk and standing in some small trees 20 yards from a water hole one night. I saw something that I thought, erroneously as it turned out, was a dog. When I realized it was a mountain lion I just didn't take the shot because I didn't...

Well, when your in-hand weapon is a compound bow and your holstered weapon is a cocked and locked 1911 and a mountain lion has managed to stalk within 5 yards of you, you'll get it. ;)

Black bears are probably all I'd encounter too (in AZ). I'm more freaked out about the big cats, especially after seeing one up close and personal. I was considering a new gun purchase and I keep drooling over the Bul M5's (and other polymer framed 1911's). (Homer) MMMmmmm Hi-cap 1911 style...

There's been a law change farily recently allowing bow hunters to carry a sidearm for personal defense in the state I'm in. Part of the argument used to get it passed was that hunters were coming across illegals with guns, drug smugglers and drug growers while hunting and had no personal...

I probably should have said something to the effect of: Own guns and bullets vs. own currently illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia Use guns and bullets vs. use currently illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia The original post was getting long as it was though and I think most of you saw...

"If you can convince the gun people that drugs are okay and the drug people that guns are okay, then everybody is a libertarian." -I don't know who said it originally, but I heard it (or something similar anyway) from Penn Jillette. I obviously don't post here a lot, but I read quite a bit and...
