    About to make my first P-Dog hunt

    Of course it's too much gun. But I doubt your going to be eating what you shoot anyway. You can't really use too little gun on a prarie dog / ground squirrel etc unless you want to make long range shots. My choice is always a 22 rifle, way easier on the ears just having light plugs in rather...

    More Bad news from Colt

    I just bought a Le6920 for $900 shipped. Hopefully they don't go bankrupt or I don't ending up needing a warranty. Can someone explain how paying $900 for a known quality rifle is "paying a lot for extra sizzle." As I was researching, at that price point it seemed hard to beat for the quality...

    Arizona elk draw coming up

    If I get drawn, it will be my first time elk hunting. I'm working through the draw process, figuring out what I want to do. Since I live in unit 7W, and can walk to unit 8 in about 3 minutes, I'm planning on putting in for antlerless hunts there, and maybe 6B antlerless. They had decent draw...

    I-40 to CALI Need Help!

    To go to the Grand Canyon from 40, I recommend getting off in Williams. Its about an hour. You don't have to drive across a reservation, which is a big grey area for carrying firearms, and I think its a prettier drive. Of course, he'll be driving across reservations almost the entire time...

    Non lethal ways of defending against dogs

    In the past few weeks about every other time I've been out with my dog, she has been attacked. She's a very obedient dog and I require her to be submissive to other dogs and people, as this generally de-escalates the situation when someone's unleashed, untrained dog runs up while hiking or...

    Nevada Governor Vetoes Universal Background Check Bill

    I don't understand why Nevada won't honor an AZ permit, or what Bloomberg has to do with this. But I welcome the opportunity to irritate him.

    Phoenix Gun Turn in (buyback) Part 2: Street Festival

    I wouldn't take $500 for a gun at a "buyback". I wouldn't want them to be able to spout off that they got x number of dangerous guns off the streets, one of them being mine. I'd just cut it up with a torch and send it to scrap metal if I needed it out of the safe. I do t hold it against anyone...

    Phoenix Gun Turn in (buyback) Part 2: Street Festival

    I made a trip to Phoenix and was surprised to see a billboard (the kind that changes its message every 10 seconds or so) advertising for a gun "buyback", presumably this one. The tagline was "guns for groceries" I believe.

    The next time someone says "no one uses an AR to hunt"

    The vast majority of handguns are never used to hunt. Stevie-Ray, thanks. I might have to order a new bumper sticker: "Its the Bill of Rights. not the Bill of Needs"

    Stories of Conversion.

    Take them shooting. I've taken a few shooting who were anti gun before, but after a safety lesson and explanation of how the gun works, they enjoyed it and realized guns aren't that bad or scary. They're what responsible people use to have fun and protect themselves against those that would do...

    Geofenced Firearms

    So when I show up at my kid's school to pick him up, and people are running out saying that there's a wacko in there cutting people up with a samurai sword (or shooting them with one of those millions of non geo fenced guns) I am supposed to run in there with a pocket knife and maybe try to...

    New Peep Sights (Humor Thread)

    Nice. I wonder what kind of spray paint would stick to them well. I'd like a set, but they'd have to be dark flat earth for my tastes.
