Yeah, that's something I do also- a set of swings or snatches with the kettlebell, then a few shots, then back to the bell- going from squeezing the bell and really annhilating the forearm muscles straight to the dextrous handling of whatever I'm shooting. Certainly makes things interesting-...

I'm always up for a roadtrip, especially to places where I can pick up plenty of osage for bows and rock for knapping. May just have to see what I can do, a class with Massad Ayoob would be pretty cool. It's a chunk of change, but one thing I've learned is you get what you pay for (usually).

I really want to take a good class. I'll finally be getting my concealed carry permit, and while where I live my old hunter's safety card is enough, the sheriff encourages some further training. I know I've probably got bad habits I've practiced thousands of times, having never received any...

I was just wondering if anyone else does this too, and what the opinion is of this kind of practice from some of the more experienced folks. This is something I started doing partly for fun and partly because it just seems to make sense. Before shooting, I'll do a bunch of jumping jacks or...

Sweet- looks like there's definitely a few people interested in getting in better shape, or just staying in good shape! Here's what I'm doing now to get back in shape, after almost a year of not adhering to my normal program due to some knee injuries and messing around with migraines. Every...

Elk season's a few months away, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who is not quite in shape for it yet. How about a thread for strength/endurance training and diet? It's easier to get in shape when you have the encouragement of the like-minded. If the forum moderators are cool with it, this...

what about sticking a fish aquarium pump in the bottom of the safe with a float switch, like a sump pump in a basement?

Howdy, grew up with guns- my earliest clear memory is my dad drawing on a paper plate how to line up the front and rear sight on my red ryder. I enjoy all types of shooting- archery as well. You can build a whole system of character development around marksmanship and I think that's awesome...

If everyone had a hi-power in their life, we'd all be happier and I think there would probably be more barbeques, even in winter. I don't want to go into lengthy details, but this is based on very sophisticated hard science.

My vote's for the sp-101, if you're set on a compact. but if there's a Colt that your conscience will approve of asking for, I say go for it. Hard to beat a Colt ps- does he have any more work he needs done? ;)

I hope we see more guns in general in .327, I'm normally all about the traditional cartridges that have worked for ever, but I think I'd like to see .327 all over the place

I really wish I had photos to back this up, but the handguns in question had to be auctioned to pay for my dad's funeral (it was ten years ago, so please no sympathies). After thousands of hot bear rounds through each, the redhawk was virtually unchanged, and the 629 mountain pistol had a very...

Thank you, you too

Lol, thanks Chieftain- it's funny, I came to the same conclusion about an hour ago. As I'm looking at my pack and the shotgun and imagining how I'll want to carry it, I keep looking over at my quick little .30-30 in the corner and thinking how fast and accurate I am with it, and it's lighter...

The magazine disconnect on the sr9 is easy to remove. I'm trying to make up my mind between the glock 17, xdm, and sr9- recently sold my p229, it never really fit my hand right. I won't make a decision until I've had a chance to shoot all 3- it's a lot of money to gamble. You always test...
