Has anyone had any experience with this fairly new organization? They had initially put out several videos, and FTA is the creation of some respectable trainers, Jeff Gonzalez, Larry Vickers, and Ken Hackethorn among them. They offered a reasonably priced liability insurance package for...

As I run across information on the qualifications test required by various States, I cut and paste it into a Word document in hopes of getting a list of what is required to obtain a concealed carry permit in a variety of States. Of course all have LE requirements, but CCW test can run from...

I have a first generation M&P 9, and I like it a lot because of its ergonomics, 17+1 capacity, and dependability. But I am generally a Glock guy, and have just never been a fan of the M&P trigger system. I understand that the 2.0 versions are said to have a much nicer trigger, but I'm not ready...

I have always heard that training at Gunsite is "life changing" and from talking to people who have, that it is worth it. Gunsite is on my personal "bucket list" and I'm thinking that this year may be the time to do it. I just had my 67th birthday, I'm still working so I can afford it, and I...

I have never owned or used a ground blind before but age is taking its toll on my mobility and ability to stay comfortable and not squirm while watching for game. So, its time to bite the bullet and choose a blind that I can use mostly for turkey and antelope hunting with rifle or bow. Ideally...

A couple years back, Colorado passed some anti gun, "feel good" legislation, written by urban dwelling air heads, with the backing of Michael Bloomberg, and against the advice and wishes of all but two of the State's elected County Sheriffs. It covered the two biggest hitters on the Progressive...

I am not at all new to shooting or hunting, but have never had much to do with muzzle loaders. This year I applied for muzzle loader tags for deer, elk, and pronghorn in my home state of Colorado. If I am sucessful in the draw I plan to pick up an in line 50 cal and start practicing. Colorado...

As many know, Colorado's legislature passed Bloomberg financed anti-gun laws in 2013. It cost two of them to be recalled, and another resigned to save the embarasment of facing recall. We have since elected a decidedly more conservative group and nearly all the County Sheriffs are vocally...

Last year was a bumpy ride for gun owners here in Colorado. We took a sucker punch from our "representatives" early in the year but managed to retaliate, removing three legislators from office and costing our Governor many nights of sleep. The vast majority of our Sheriffs stood behind us...

As you may know, Colorado has recently passed a laundry list of stupid "common sense gun laws" that the proponents assured everyone were designed only to keep bad guys from having "easy access" to guns. Once again, unintended consequences rear their ugly head. Level headed District Attorneys...

Does anyone know where I can buy cardboard humanoid targets in the cammo type pattern? I have seen them in videos in use at Gunsite and by Louis Awerbuck, but have not yet found an online source for them. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they seem like they would be excellent for keeping shooters...

Does anyone have any first hand experience with the Glock reset trigger? It looks like a product developed by or for "The Glock Store" It looks like a great idea but for $200, it better last for a long long time, and/or offer free replacement if it fails. I'm a big fan and dry fire and believe...

Need advice from the gunsmith guys here. I really like the concept of the Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle, but I don't really have any specific use for one and can't justify spending $900 or so. What I do have though is an old sporterized 303 British Enfield that I inherited some 30 years ago from my...

Does anyone have the DVD "Shooting Missology" from James Yeager of Tactical Response? I have watched the trailer on Youtube and think it would be a worhtwhile training DVD to have as a shooter that is always trying to improve and as an NRA Basic Pistol Instructor, teaching new handgunners. The...

I have an older 870 Express that I am very fond of and have recently added a Safariland tacticle stock to. It has a standard front bead sight and while trying to shoot a shotgun side match at a local defensive pistol competition, I found that while I thought the Texas Star would be a piece of...

I carry a Glock 19 (gen 3) and have been looking at finding ways to smooth out the stock trigger without putting myself in the spotlight as a "hair trigger lunatic" should I ever be forced to use it defensively. I have a G17 with a 3.5# trigger that I use for competitions and love it. However I...

Has anyone had any experience with CLETC in Sturgis SD? Looks like they just got started in the last year or two. I know it would not be near the expirience as a week long Thunder Ranch or Gunsite class, but its affordable and 5 or 6 hour drive as oposed to two days. Anyone have any opinions...

I'm planning on putting together a new rifle for varmint, predators, and maybe even for antelope. Sportsmans Warehouse has the Weatherby Vangaurd available in several calibers for $349. Seems like a heck of a deal, another couple hundred for a decent scope and it should make a nice rifle for...

I am pretty much a semi-auto guy but lately I have gotten the itch for a 357 mag revolver again. I curently have a couple 22 revolvers and a Tarus 38 Snubbie but have not owned a good full sized wheelgun for several years. I used to have a S&W 686 and a Ruger GP-100 and sold them both...

OK, heres he deal, I'm 60 years old, and I used to hunt whitetail in Wisconsin. I was in my teens and twenties last time I was serious about archery and my last bow was a 50# Bear recurve. To say the least the equipment has advanced a great deal since then. I live in Colorado now and the terrain...
