    What load for deer? 16 ga full choke

    So, I have a 16 with 28" barrel and full choke. It's an old bolt action mossy. So, I'm interested in maybe using it on deer this year, and what load might be best. There's all kinds of stuff about slug vs full choke on the interwebz. So, I'm asking. I hunt in areas without a lot of...

    I've been noticing that people mention doing things with paracord, leather, nylon, kydex, etc. with their nfw stuff. Maybe it would be neat to talk about those things here. Got an NFW hack you would like to share? BTW- Hack: a clever solution to a tricky problem

    new ultra 87: do I need to strip and clean before use?

    So, it's a brand new shotgun. Do I need to strip it and clean the whole thing before shooting? I'm not opposed to it. I'm just curious to see what your thoughts are on the matter.

    Bear Grylls/Gerber Parang

    I bought one of these off Amazon after I saw one online and then read about them on blade forums. bought from Red's Gear on Amazon. 1. The thing ain't so bad. The blade/grip angle is neat and really helps with cutting. The blade seems to be sharpened differently in certain areas. The tip is...

    duct tape on wood: removing residue

    I have an old 316b bolt action shotgun that had a piece of duct tape stuck to it. I pulled it off and now the residue is, of course, on there. What's a safe way to get it off of there without marring the finish.

    custom knife assembly

    All you guys with your fancy knives and mad skills have me all lathered up to produce something of my own. I already work with wood and natural materials, so all the talk of making cedar scales last week got me thinking about a piece of Eastern Cedar I have laying around doing nothing. I also...

    Martial Art that includes firearms

    To continue a previous discussion here, and to expand it a bit, let's talk more about Martial Arts that include firearms. Barring good examples, what would be an ideal curriculum?

    Taking the 1911 plunge: builiding my own

    So, I'm a big fan of revolvers, as you can see from my handle (pronounced wheelguns linger, not wheelgun/gunslinger like I'm a mall ninja...) I'm also a big fan of the show Supernatural. Last night, the protagonist Dean Winchester had his 1911 out shooting stuff for quite a minutes of...

    Kitchen cutlery do's and don'ts

    So, I've learned a lot from you guys about knives and sharpening. I'd like to learn more. Right now, the knives I use the most are my kitchen knives (I'm bordering on being a vegetarian I eat so much produce.) and my pocket knives. I'm noticing that even with my allegedly forever sharp...

    Hurricane season 08: prepared?

    Tropical Storm Bertha is brewing right now in the Atlantic. Have you refined your preparedness strategy and weapons choices from what you've seen as a result of previous seasons or this season's flood and fires? If so, how or what have you added or removed? 9mm or 45? Glock or 1911...

    Nancy Giles commentary on CBS Sunday Morning

    I really like Nancy Giles. I think she has a great sense of humor and a really interesting writing style. I watch CBS Sunday Morning primarily so I can see her commentary at the end (though they have a lot of good features on interesting topics). But this morning I cringed when I heard her...

    What's in a good sheath?

    For a fixed blade knife, I'm not crazy about my nylon sheaths. I rather prefer leather, though more for the way it weathers. I have no functional reason to prefer leather. I've seen and used kydex. I even have one cheapo SnW pig sticker thing in kydex and a couple of holsters for handguns...

    TN or VA: Which side of Bristol to settle?

    So, I'm escaping North Carolina since I'm moving to Bristol. I know a bit about the gun laws in TN, but nothing about VA. Which would be the better side of the line for a gunnie in terms of better gun laws. I'm still apartment/house shopping but will be signing a lease sometime this...

    Anybody have one? I'd never seen them until I went to the battery store to get a new motorcycle battery and played with one. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000R8G4QO?smid=AS0K3MKEU5H24&tag=yahoo-tools06-20&linkCode=asn

    Great column in Creative Loafing

    Creative Loafing is often a very liberal kind of media where the arts and local politics take the spotlight. Being an artist myself, I like to read CL anyway and just flip past the drivel to the good stuff. The last thing I expected was to see this column about firearms, crime, and personal...

    Help me replace my old nylon 66 22 rifle

    My very first weapon was a nylon 66 .22. It was brown, mag fed, and was just a super little gun. I traded it away years ago to a guy who decided to move to the desert to wait for some religious holocaust to occur to the world. So, it's gone for good. In today's market, the nylon commands a...

    Blades for the outdoors or WWOTR

    So, I'm in the middle of unpacking and repacking my backpack to prepare for the spring season. I've been eyeballing some of the knives and tools I use for basic wwotr (wonder what's over that ridge?) type stuff. I'm wondering what you folk might used for these tasks. So far, I have a...

    Link to story Somehow, this one slipped through the cracks... A combination of hardline philosophy toward alternate lifestyles and the demonization and ignorance of what firearms are for in our culture.
