    Half pound of AutoComp on the shelf.....

    I found a half pound of Win. AutoComp powder that I had bought in 2017. I can always use some more 9mm loads. Green Dot is my go-to 9mm powder but GD is kinda scarce around here. Anyone got a favorite AutoComp load for 9mm and a 124 FMJ bullet? Range loads; nothing too hot. I'm looking...

    Should kids be shooting at human silhouette targets?

    How do you feel about having kids shoot at silhouette targets? Animal silhouettes are ok with me, but I will never let any kid fire at a human silhouette target. This has been my belief for 35+ years of teaching kids to shoot. Opinions?

    Who first fired a rifle at summer camp?

    Did you fired your first rifle (likely a bolt action .22) at summer camp? How long ago, and do you remember the make\model of the gun? When I was a kid every boy scout camp had a rifle range.

    55 gallon silencer?

    Does anyone have first hand knowledge on how to make a fixed position silencer for the shooting range using a drum or trash barrel? I've seen a few on YouTube and I'm wondering if someone at THR might know some more about them. Any info would be appreciated.

    Is WW-231 gone for good?

    Henry .22 help - LR jams

    I bought a used Henry .22 lever gun that functions perfectly with .22 shorts but jams every time with .22 LR ammo. The longer rounds end up stuck with the bullet nose against the chamber. Working the lever at different speeds does not help. Anyone have an idea what causes this, and how to...

    Guys, I need to buy some trigger locks that will be used daily to lock up bolt action .22 rifles at summer camp. We have about 20 rifles in use. I am looking for trigger locks that are easy to operate, locks that go on and off the guns with little effort. We've tried the typical...

    Who makes a good range bag?

    Guys, my sister needs a Xmas range bag for my BIL. He shoots quality handguns and I'm looking for a carrying bag for him to take to the indoor range. Something in the $100 range, big enough for two 1911-size guns in pistol rugs, but not overly large. Discreet, no loud graphics or gun company...

    We have a bit of a problem at my club and I could use some advice. There is an older gentleman who bought a 9mm carbine, one of those lightweight plastic ones. He's been shooting up the metal all fall, doing fairly well, and just announced that he plans on using the gun to hunt deer this...
