He did a little shooting with a .22 to warm up. Then we got out his deer rifle. It has an A2 style 7.62x39 upper from a Colt Blue Label gun with a Trijicon Reflex II sight. The Magpul CTR stock allows me to set up the length of pull for him and lock it in place so it doesn't rattle. The...

He started out practicing with a Chipmunk. Here he is shooting out of the shed where I store target holders, chairs, benches, etc. for the range. Here is a pic out the door of the shed towards the backstop. Thats about 30 yards. After a little paper punching he got some time on a...

Instant target holders. Crude, but effective. Everything was just taking up space at my place. The only thing I had to pay for was the electricity for the power tools. Detail of one front and back. Front and back of one taken down for storage and transport. I keep some heavy...

I bought a Mossberg bolt action 20 ga. a while back. I think it is a 385K. It was very clean. The wood and metal both were original and in great shape. I paid $75 for it out the door. I tried it out and found that it didn't feed well from the two round magazine. I couldn't put two rounds...

It was threatening rain so I didn't bother setting up all the equipment. I used the garden wagon to haul a little bit of gear out and let him sit on the ground and use my gear bag in the wagon as a rest. It misted and/or sprinkled on us pretty much the whole time. We still had fun. Here is...

My dad stopped about 3 miles from one of our farms and took these two pics of someone's field. He said there were probably at least 100 mule deer in the field, and he saw a bunch more over about a 20 mile drive. Most of the bucks have shed because he only saw 1 set of antlers out of all the...

Things like magazine disconnectors and built in key locks? Or at least have the option of buying without said devices? To my uncertain knowledge new Ruger revolvers and rifles don't have any. In general AR-15s, AKs, etc. don't have them, although some of the new military types like some of...

My second son's first turkey. He is 6 years old. My oldest son's turkey this fall. He was about a week short of being 8 years old. My oldest son's mule deer. My oldest son's whitetail doe. My whitetail deer. We still have quail to look forward to and there is always a chance that...

Long post so if you don't care for the details then jump down to the pics. I planned to take my 6 year old to let him get his first deer if possible during the youth post season. My 8 year old decided he would come along and maybe take another turkey or a pig and let his little brother take...

My dad and I were taking the 8 year old and 6 year old out for whitetail and mule deer. We had the truck loaded and the boys dressed at 0'dark-thirty and were about to put them in the truck to go to the farm we usually hunt on. We thought there was a better chance of success there because the...

We were hunting whitetail and mule deer on our farm. He was with my dad while my 8 year old was with me. It was getting close to the end of legal hunting time and a group of gobblers decided to get a little too close. Here is the bird. Here is the predator and the prey. Here is...

My dad and I took my 8 year old and 6 year old hunting for deer and turkey. Unfortunately, this is the first time in at least 5 years we haven't seen any deer in the morning. Not even a mule deer doe. Must be some kind of conspiracy. However, the big boy got his third turkey and the first...

I hunted in the new blind for the first time without the kids on opening day for whitetails. My dad put a new box on the feeder and it was set for 0700 which was way before daylight due to the overcast. I've never seen a deer at the feeder before but a whitetail doe came and started feeding...

Rant on: I frequently read and hear about something being at "point blank range" or someone was shot at "point blank range" when the speaker or writer usually means "really close" instead of "point blank range." Here is a reasonable definition of point blank range: This definition...

Or will I get in trouble trying this? If there is ever a buyback near me can I go to my scrap pile and get some steel tube (Maybe copper pipe? Maybe even PVC pipe? Spray paint can do amazing things) and some old 2x4 lumber and some old electric fence wire or cable ties and cob together...

Like the title says I'm looking for a pouch that will strap on the buttstock of a rifle to carry a spare mag. This would be for bolt guns (or others like the BLR) with detachable mags. Secondary purpose would be to go on the stock of singleshot or tube magazine rimfires to keep a handful of...

Quail was the first game I hunted as a kid. My dad, my grandpa, and their friend, James, used to hunt together a lot. By the time I was old enough to go my grandpa's last hunting dog had died. He was old enough that he didn't want to train a new puppy and my dad didn't really have the time...

Not G2 or Encore. Ok, I'd like those as well, but I'm interested in the plain old Contender at the moment. Thanks

I've got a used Contender (not G2) handgun that was sitting around and I never tried it as a handgun. I recently put a buttstock and carbine barrel on it. Lots of fun. However, there is a slight problem I need advice on. After loading and closing, if I cock it "normal" or briskly...

Can anyone direct me to dealers or websites that specialize in Contender carbine barrels? Especially Super 16 barrels. Especially lightweight barrels in .22LR, .22WMRF, and .22 Hornet. I didn't see much in the WTS forum here, so hoping someone can help out. Thanks for your help. PS...
