You got two your first time out? Nice! I've been out probably a dozen times in the early season. Last time I went out was a blast, but I still have yet to get one. Sounds like you're not doing so bad! You hunting public land?

Chalk one up for "read the responses before answering"... Sorry!

I had an absolute blast, and even that is an understatement. Most of what I learned is just starting to sort itself out in my head… if that makes any sense to anyone else. I haven’t learned this much in a single day – well, perhaps ever. :D I would start with my arrival, but that was actually...

^ Sounds like a plan! It's hard to express how excited and grateful I am for this opportunity. A little about me: I'm in my early 30's, grew up in the city, and don't have any relatives or close friends that hunt. I've been shooting for about 10 years, and a member here for several. I was...

Looks like I'll be sticking to the northeastern part of the state this hunting season. :uhoh::what::eek:

When I started carrying, years ago, I wasn't concerned much with dogs. I'm the parent of a toddler now, and that changes your perspective quite a bit. Dogs are one of my primary concerns now, and I don't think I ever fully realized how dangerous they were before. The last place I lived, there...

Thank you for an amazing read, H&H. Your posts are inspiring to say the least, and the pictures are equally captivating. For a second there, I swore I could smell the mountain air flowing through my apartment, sitting @ a lofty 600' above sea level or so. :D

In Ohio, archery season is Sept 24, 2011 - Feb 5, 2012. Gun season is Nov 28, 2011 to Dec 4, 2011, and then again the weekend of Dec 17th and 18th. Inbetween there's a 6-day "Early Muzzleloader" season in late Oct., a 2-day "Youth Gun" season in mid-late Nov., and a 4 day Muzzleloader season in...

Thanks, Bobson. I am still in the market for a mentor, I know I'm not the only one. I missed an excellent offer about 4 years ago when I took a hiatus from the site. :banghead: I can / will travel anywhere in my home state of Ohio, and am interested in hunting most edible game.... duck...

I'm right in the middle of Columbus. Just completed my hunter's safety course yesterday (with a 100% test score), and looking to get out of the city and enjoy my first hunts this year as well. I noticed squirrel season just started! I've never had the pleasure of a squirrel dinner. Looks like...

I can't believe it... I have never in my adult life been so proud of my country. :D What a great day to be an American. I only wish my son was old enough to take to the range today.

Sooooooo...... I called around my local shops to see if they still had them in stock. Gander Mountain had 5 in stock, the CC model was $289. Sounded a bit high to me, so I called a few other places. One of my local ranges had 2 in stock for $235, but they were the regular models, not the CC...

From http://www.gunblast.com/Bersa_380CC.htm Guess I should've remembered to mention, the one I'm looking at is the .380 Thunder CC. As for why I think I'd do better with the Bersa than with the Ruger: Snubs are infamously hard to shoot... I find this little bit of conventional wisdom to...

Okay... here goes. It's been a looooong journey. I've been carrying for years. Started with the full-sized .45's, then slowly but surely my carry guns got smaller and smaller. I got tired of lugging around 45 oz. of pistol + 2 extra magazines. Bought a Glock 33, which was perfect... until the...

It's gotta be the flat MSH... ...arched MSH's make the base of my thumb start to ache after sending a 50-box or two downrange.

...that's exactly what I was going to say.

:D Well darn... I thought I'd have to re-tell the whole story... but that pretty much sums up how mine (revolver ND) happened. IMO there is no safer platform. Any gun is only as safe as it's user. The fact that my thinking is the exact opposite of the above quote basically proves to me...

IIRC... The Glock 29 is a compact, not subcompact... Same as the 30. My experience with the G29 is limited. I only got my hands on one once at the range, but it actually wasn't that bad... about the same as my G33 (subcompact .357SIG model), which is a little stout, but nothing you can't...

When it came time for me to spend some money on a "nice" 1911, I went with Smith & Wesson. I couldn't be happier. More accurate than I am, and 100% out of the box. I have the same model as Ala Dan - the fullsize stainless w/black trim & novaks. I'd also agree with what he said - it will run...

Fakes (we call 'em faints) are great, provided that you know how. It's not just as simple as moving one arm, then punching with the other... Certain combinations seem to work best for me and most others. As for the "multiple heads" theory, that's a great way to word things... That should always...
