Lol. Thanks. The seclusion is why we bought the place. We're on 40 acres and surrounded by even larger lots that are mostly just woods. I can't see a living soul from my back porch, and can see one neighbor from my front porch. We shoot guns in the backyard. Everyone does around here. However...

Sorry everyone, no updates. I've had too much work to do on the homestead. I did finish up the siding on my chicken coop (which I've been putting off for about 6 months). I used some 30+ year old rough cut lumber that's been sitting in the dilapidated (and un-salvageable) barn on the back of my...

Nice looking bench and presses! What is the screen/tablet connected to your one press? I've never considered a 3D press, but I do probably need one! I've honestly never even thought about the hardwood edge. What's the advantage to this?

I got the top shelf over the peg board mounted, and started getting presses mounted, and tools put away.

Lol. Thanks. It's actually 27 feet from end to end. :) I'll keep you guys updated as I go.

I've only used it out to 150 yards, maybe a bit less, but I'm certain it will work further. I live in a wooded area without too many wide open areas. A big part of how far it will reach is how powerful of an IR flashlight you mount on it. Now, it works well without the IR flashlight, but on a...

I'm currently working on my range. Here's my bench I just built a few weeks ago, set up right now in my backyard 30 yd pistol range (back drop is now higher than in the picture - about 12 feet high). I was teaching my youngest daughter how to shoot her Savage Rascal, hence the bench at a...

If you're looking for a budget NVS, check out the ATN digital night vision scopes. They're very similar to the Wraith. I was between the ATN and the Wraith, but after reading a ton of reviews and watching videos, I went with the ATN, and have been very happy with it. It's not going to be as good...

I don't worry about it. If it's an EDC, that's going to happen no matter what. If you're taking them to fire them, you should be cleaning them afterward anyhow.

Why do these discussions always end up pointing out that black Americans are causing most of the crime, and leave it at that? This doesn't mean we don't have a crime problem just because the crime is concentrated in certain geographic locations or in certain races of Americans. Are they not...

Sounds like it's time to dig into that red dirt and build an outbuilding! :D

I went through my SmugMug photos, and found a picture of the third iteration of my reloading bench. It's a HUGE upgrade from my original.

I definitely agree that other gun rights organizations are better, but none are bigger or are more well known. Ask any John or Jane on the street what GOA or SAF stands for, and they'll look at you blankly. Yet everyone knows what the NRA is and what they stand for. Full disclosure, I'm a life...

Yep. They sure do. I've had to return a few items due to pictures/description incongruencies.

If he is guilty of what they say he is, than good riddance. However, I would like to see how the trial plays out. Does anyone know if it will be publicized? Or will it be behind closed doors? I just hope this doesn't weaken the NRA. I don't agree with all that they do (particularly taking...
