Yesterday my new muzzleloader arrived. I purchased the thumb hole stock package with the Konus Pro 275 scope. Read the owner's manual, which was very good and proceeded to take the rifle apart. All I needed was two straight edge screw drivers. It takes less than 5 minutes to remove the barrel...

On 10/28/13 I bought a new Barnett Ghost 410 Crossbow. It was delivered on 10/30/13. I was using Barnett arrows, crank cocking device and lube wax. On 11/6/13 I was firing a field tip arrow to de-cock the bow after hunting. As I squeezed the trigger I heard a loud crack like a small caliber...

I bought one of these at Gander Mtn last Saturday. First night it drained eight new Duracell batteries. Hmm.. Second night it drained 8 more Duracell batteries. Called GM and they said that I had to start with Moultrie before they would refund my purchase price. Ok. Called Moultrie and held for...

No matter how old I am I still learn new things. I ordered a Carlson rifled choke for my X2. Ordered a Win choke. Got a call from Carlson's advising me that the barrel is the Browning Invector Plus. Choke arrived today and it didn't fit. Called Carlson's and learned that the earlier Super X2's...

I have shot all my life, but have hunted very little. My neighbor who bow hunts my place brought over some venison and I am hooked. Bought a tree stand. Dialed in the 12 ga and am waiting for gun season. Got a nice cammo jacket. We wear them here all year!:D It was a good excuse! Gun season...

Couldn't wait for cold weather. Went out with my Ka Bar 1248 2 days ago and cut a few branches of mulberry to get familiar with the wood at its less than optimal state. It is was very damp. It has two layers on top of the heartwood. There are numerous small branches that require removal. They...

I plan to go Saturday and Sunday: http://knifemakersguild.com/show.shtml I don't recognize any of the participants by name, which doesn't mean much. Anyone else going? Any recommendations? Works out great for me as I have two grandsons who live in the area and I'll be taking them. Not to...

I was called for jury duty. As in most courthouses, if not all, no knives, sticks, guns or "any" weapon allowed. Today was the day. I left my knives and other tools at home and ventured out with my Irish Blackthorn cane for the first time. It went great. Not even a question from the officers at...

Recently I purchased the Spartan small neck knife. I was very seriously impressed. Actually it is good or better than the Chris Reeves Professional Soldier. Today I added two more Spartans: http://www.knifeart.com/spartancqb.html http://www.knifeart.com/spartanphrike2.html I am very...

I was cutting my back field today and was evaluating a locust that had fallen. Some really nice branches which I will be harvesting. My wood working skills are accurately described as basic. Mostly whittling which, by my definition, is taking a large piece of wood and making it smaller and...

This is a true story. Wife goes to pick up our oldest granddaughter this afternoon. Comes home with a massive paint scratch on her front right bumper. White paint on her '03 Cobra sonic blue. Looked terrible. So, being the wonderful husband I am, and with a hidden agenda. I go out to her car...

Anyone own one? Any comments? It looks like an awesome knife. The middle one is my favorite: http://fowlerblades.com/brute-knives/ Heck he has two daughters now and daughters are much more expensive to raise. I have first hand knowledge so I may be shopping his website. Always looking for an...

I started a thread on Bladeforums to learn about sharpening with sand paper. Learned about the proper grit, stroke direction, wet/dry and other good info. The knowledge that intrigued me the most was the recommendations regarding using a leather strop. I bought a couple and glued them to 1"x's...

I have been doing some research to figure out the evolution of the BK 7 from Becker Knife and Tool to Camillus and then to Ka Bar. There are a few blanks I can't fill in. I assume that Becker designed the knife and licensed the design to Camillus. Camillus then filed bankruptcy in 2007 and...
