    Advice regarding low recoil .308W loads

    Ok, here's the situation. A co-worker is thinking of purchasing my Savage Scout rifle (10fcm) in .308W for hunting (pig, deer). He is small statured and has a past collarbone injury (fracture in several places) on his shooting side. His doctor has told him that he doesn't need to stop...

    What is the least useful self-defense advice you have ever heard?

    Least useful self defense information? Almost everything I've heard from the guy on the show "Locked and Loaded." :mad:

    Small fixed blade self-defense knife ideas

    Stdlrf11, here's a couple of nice small fixed blades I own currently. Lynn Griffith and Busse Assault Shaker, both with custom Dwayne Puckett (armoralleather.com) horizontal belt sheaths. Below is a pic of a custom sheath Tom Krein made for a Busse Natural Outlaw I once owned. Nice work...

    Small fixed blade self-defense knife ideas

    I'll second LooseGrouper's suggeston of the Polkowski CRKT. I have both of the folders and have always been a big fan of anything Polkowski, especially Kaspar designed. I'd love a Pug! It's a very decent knife and when you factor in the inexpensive price it's a deal. Don't use it for utility...

    Air-soft guns as training tools?

    For a quick improvised training target in the garage, I simply take an old IPSC or IDPA carboard target, cut out a 8" circle in the upper A zone area and tape a box behind it to catch the bb's. I then tape typing paper over the hole created so I can see where my hits where. Replace the paper...

    Need some help on finding a sheath maker

    Two kydex makers I have experience (although limited to one sheath each) with and would recommend are Tom Krein of Kreinknives (www.kreinknives iirc) and Brian Wagner (I think that's his name, I'm used to just seeing the name Oku, or Okuden) of Okuden.net. Below are pics of both. The Busse...

    Airsoft: Good Practice

    gunjunky, the 1911 that Father knows best is the same one that I mentioned further up the thread. I'm pleased with mine, but FKB is correct when he mentions corner cutting. This is not an all steel gas blowback like the higher costing models, yet performs well in its price niche. My manual...

    Airsoft: Good Practice

    MattW - Yep, catch the great deal (shhhh!....) at Ebay. With shipping, a 1100 ml bottle of "green" gas, and 1000 .20g bb's, it came to just about .... (how did you guess!) $80.00. Well worth it for just the fun factor. I'll clarify that because sometimes it seems that with the seriousness of...

    Airsoft: Good Practice

    Just a note: I recently purchased a KWC 1911 gas blowback with the intent of practicing tactics, force on force, general practice, and as an instructional aid for novices. I'm pleasantly surpised with it. I conducted a "coke" can test with it and here are the results. Out of about 6 shots at...
