    Aggressive, pet eating coyote advice

    Thanks, Vern. You got the point. Keep 'em indoors where they belong. Remember, there's room in this world for ALL God's creatures. Right next to the peas and mashed potatoes. Merry Christmas. -nb

    Aggressive, pet eating coyote advice

    Just now noticed this post. One of my favorite topics. My take on this: indoor cats are housepets, outdoor cats are: abandoned, pests, fair targets, coyote food traffic bumps I routinely trap and kill about a half dozen cats a year. They are a distinct health hazard, harmful to...

    Why Can't I Shoot Handguns Well?

    What Hank just described is called Ball and Dummy. This is a good exercise, but not what you need right now. I just noticed your post where you show the Orange dot target. You're stringing laterally. It kind of looks like that smiley face Mel Gibson printed in that movie about "cop...

    Do You Think Machineguns Should be legal with a Background Check Only?

    "Every man, woman, and responsible child has an unalienable individual, civil, Constitutional, and human right to obtain, own, and carry, openly or concealed, any weapon -- rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything -- any time, any place, without asking anyone's permission." The Atlanta...

    Why Can't I Shoot Handguns Well?

    Why Can't I Shoot Handguns Well? ---------------------------------------------------------------- The title pretty much sums it up. For some reason, I am totally pathetic when it comes to accurately shooting handguns. I own a S&W 586. Can I hit the same place twice, ever? Nope. This is at a...

    Why Can't I Shoot Handguns Well?

    I don't know what other calibers you've shot, but let me suggest the following: 1 - Dry fire. - you can do this by picking out a target, getting a good sight picture and dry firing from DA and SA, over and over and freaking over again until you've ingrained the mechanics into your...

    Could Anyone Recommend a Good 'Sand-Blaster'?

    I just refinished three FN-FALs I built using a $39.95 sand blaster from Harbor Freight and a fifty pound bag of playground sand ($3.00 plus change). Be sure and degrease the parts and use a HOT water bath before dunking them in the parking solution or however you're going to refinish. Sand...

    SHTF: Point/Counterpoint

    "But what if you are someone who doesn't think it will happen in your lifetime? " At least be prepared to bend over, pass the KY and squeal like a pig. No, really, anyone who isn't preparing for at least a one year siege/post-apocalyptic survival scenario (urban, suburban, rural) has their...

    Small, cute locking folder as 8rd old GIRL's first knife?

    That's funny. I cut the hell out of myself with a sushi knife several years ago (decades), and several times since with various pocket knives. Play with fire and you get burned sometimes... I've also been swinging chainsaws for about 30 years and never cut myself until a month ago...

    Small, cute locking folder as 8rd old GIRL's first knife?

    I bought my daughter a Swiss army pocket knife (the kind with the blade, screwdriver/nail file, scissors, toothpick and tweezers) for her FIFTH birthday. All day long we could hear her in one room or the other saying "ouch." "Darn." "Ouch." "Jeez." Until she finally came into the room...

    Where do you keep your firearms?

    I'll never tell. Well, a few: AR15 stashed in bedroom. Sidearms (mine, wife's) stashed in rapid access biometric safe. Two safes. Several 6" PVC pipes full of carbines and ammo around the property "covered" by many steel pinballs driven 3-6 inches into the soil. More guns on my...

    Gunfire on Myth Busters tonight

    The silver dollar shooting test was flawed. They were almost certainly shooting "Cowboy Action" loads out of their .45 colt. The ammo around in the old west was considerably hotter. As for the 5 shots before the coin can hit the ground they should have called Bob Munden. DING DING DING*** We...

    Picking a weapon for civil unrest

    short term "civil unrest?" Suppressed .308 WIN or .338. Nothing like reaching out and touching someone. OR, as it's been said, having a high-power means for conflict resolution with an emphasis on long-range planning. You talking SE LA circa 1993 or Cincinatti circa 2004-5 or Watts...

    Whats your Recoil limit??? From the Bench???

    maybe a dozen .375 H&H Mag rounds standing/offhand (there are no benches in bush country). These are full-power loads I usually shoot at 1 gallon milk jugs full of red-dyed water at 50 yards. Splash. .458 Win Mag for some reason I can't seem to get off more than about 6 rounds and I'm...
