Ain't it funny what can trigger a response or change in folks. I grew up having knives all my life. Every deer season my Buck 102 was either on my hip or in my grab and go bag. I had fillet knives for fish preparation. A three blade old timer in my pocket for years. It got replaced by a one hand...

My Brother and I drove to the CMP North (Port Clinton Ohio) store a while back and he bought one off the rack There were probably 50 or so of various grades on the racks but we were told that what they had was not being restocked TEMPORARILY as they were moving to another location. (Still Camp...

I watched an interview with one gun store manager. He said this "gun run" was different than the one after Sandy Hook. He called that a "political buying rush" as in: "They are going to outlaw certain guns and ammo, I'll buy mine now for various reasons. As a protest. To get grandfathered in. To...

Both eyes open tends to improve your peripheral vision and situational awareness as well as depth perception, over one eye closed. It also allows for better vision in low light times as in hunting at dawn and dusk. When I was younger shooting iron sights on rifles i was taught to close my off...

I was in your spot a few years ago. I didn't really get into handguns until after I retired but I always wanted an "Army .45" since I was a kid in the back yard. When I looked into the 1911 market I got a case of "sticker shock" at the cost as I am on a fixed income and many 1911s carried a...

I had a similar event years ago. Several of the guys in our church shot Black Powder guns and owned a variety of them. We would get together several times a summer on a buddy's farm and fill the air with grey smoke! We shot anything, standard bulls eye targets as well a novelty shoots. One of...

My grandson and my first lesson in pistol carry was when he was about 4 or so. I conceal carry at 4:00 inside waist. One day as I walked in the house he launched off the couch and flew across the room yelling "Grandpaaaaaaa" to give me a hug. He wrapped my thigh in a hug at the same time there...

This topic brings to mind my early entry into archery. This was back in the mid 70's, compound bows were the new thing and 3D foam targets were just coming on the market, thus they were pretty pricey. Most individuals and small clubs shot cardboard silhouettes or pictures of game animals due to...

Well technically my FIRST one was with the front end of a '71 Olds Cutlass, but lets go with the first hunting buck as it was a lot more fun! My first was an 8 pt. with 19" inside spread, taken with a .50 cal .Thompson Center Hawken. I had hunted in the morning and came back to the truck to...

I used to tote my "grandpaw" knife,(grandsons label) my 3 bladed Old Timer. Then I had to have wrist surgery and while in the cast I got a 1 hand opening, lock blade Kershaw. Since recovery I usually tote the Kershaw but still grab the old timer on occasion.

I too have tried a couple of sampler packs just to find what my rifle prefers without buying 500 of something, just to find that it isn't the one. I like the idea but some suppliers help you more than others. Just a lesson from my experience. I've got the RWS and the JSB DIABLO packages. The...

I have the Browning Buckmark and introduced several shooters with it. I came across a couple reasons to buy another pistol however..."Its for the children" My young grandson as well as a small petite lady friend of the family found the grips a real handful. They had trouble holding on to the...

There used to be a B. McDaniel located just outside South Lyon Mi. north of Ann Arbor. I remember the old man, I think his name was Benny, did some work on a rifle for my dad. This was probably 30 years ago. He was a custom rifle smith back in the day. I met him a couple times when in there with...

I just went looking for info. on Airborne Knives on Face Book. According to a post from Texas Knifemaker Guild, Scott passed away Jan 9 2018. From what I see about him and his work it is a great loss.

Yeah the Moras have a lot going for them. They make a good handy woods knife, a good size for a variety of camp chores. They hold a decent edge. They are in-expensive so if you misplace them you won't break the bank. With the "scandi" grind on them they are easy to resharpen back to shaving...

I ran into that problem a few years ago. The distance between "reading" and "far" lenses on my prescription bi-focals left a "dead spot", I had to go to tri-focals. The middle lens distance is just right for computer screens, dashboards, and front pistol sights, as well as the pin on my bow...

OUCH....That's a tough one. Not sure how I'd go on it. I've always wanted a Sharps since my frontier/buckskinner days, I'd also love a small, handy , carbine in .357 as well. I'd probably decide on the '73 as it's more "practicable" but ooohhhh to give up on the Sharps!!! Whichever you go with I...

I asked this question of a FFL in my town about being willed some guns on the death of an out of state relative. According to what he told me (about our state) was, if it was WILLED to me in the will, and I went to receive it IN PERSON, and transport home I am ok for long guns as well as hand...

Good shot! I found out real quickly upon trying it...It's a LOT harder to get a good shot with a Canon than a Remington or Winchester! So many variables to work around. Congrats!

One thing i used to do was to go after the deer season or in early spring and walk the deer trails in my hunting area. Then come home and transfer the routes to my maps on my computer. I then had a "roadmap" of the area. It sometimes helps to get a different perspective on how things relate to...
