I am a lefty shooter buying my first shotgun for primarily turkey hunting and and secondarily for HD, although based on shell count fired many more rounds will be fired at the range. I've no interest at all in upland birds, and any clays would be just for fun/practice with the turkey gun. I've...

So I was at the range recently, and after practicing several hours with a 9mm compact pistol was able to successfully and repeatedly shoot 2" groups at 15 yards. However the center of the groups was consistently about 2" high dead center above the bulls eye. I used the same ammo in a friends...

(Please keep this thread HighRoad and legal. Thanks!) Like a previous poster I have similar issues in Kansas, although perhaps not quite as severe. It seems to be worse the last few years. I have not resolved my issues yet (maybe I never will), but the steps I've taken so far are listed...

Apart from the obvious answer ("the first one you see!"), how do you select which whitetail to take when you are hunting? My trail cam shows that in my area I have multiple bucks and multiple does and family groups. Obviously some of these could be taken on adjacent properties. In the past I've...

I finally got a chance to try out my new Bushnell Trophy Cam. This is the 2010 year model with the color LCD screen (#119455C), and is my first ever trail camera. In one week it took pictures of three bucks (one pretty young) and at least 2 pairs of does/fawns. I'm going to keep moving it around...

Like the title says I would like to buy a pair of electronic shooting ear protection that last more than one or two Kansas deer seasons. I like to wear them all day, about 8 days per season. The two problems are severe condensation and the ability to operate in temperatures from 0F upwards. I'd...

This is my third year hunting and last year I got my first whitetail. So relatively I am still a novice at this despite reading a lot. I hunt in very east of Kansas in rolling land with forest and patchwork fields with forest/brush borders. For several reasons I can only hunt in the morning...

With hunting season coming up in many states be aware of your state law and the intersection between state statues and hunting regulations. For example in Kansas refer to Kansas Attorney General Opinion Number 2007-40: "Crimes and Punishment--Crimes Against Public Safety; Criminal Use of...

I did my first club practice USPSA event this week and have a question related to failure to load (FTL) or failure to fire (FTF). In the excitement of reloading I failed to properly seat the magazine., so when I racked the slide no cartridge was stripped from the magazine. Therefore when I...

Have any of you received your free S&W M&P magazines from their rebate offer valid from February 27 to April 30, 2009? For me it is 12+ weeks and counting. It was meant to be 8 to 10 weeks. My valid submission was received by their rebate processor and forwarded to S&W at the beginning of...

Daniel Eindhoven spent around 40hrs and €100 ($133) putting together a semi-automatic gun capable of firing up to 14 shots at speeds up to 110km/h (68mph). That is about 100 feet/second. (links contain photos)...

I have been teaching my daughter the 4 rules and she has been handgun shooting at the range. We were watching a TV shooting instruction program about home protection, and they showed keeping a loaded handgun in a bedside gun vault (thin metal walls) or in a holster clipped to the underside of...

I have a factory standard Ruger MK-III Std 4 (stock no 10104). This is the basic model with the plastic grips. Are there any aftermarket grips that are thinner than the factory grips? My daughter has small hands and has trouble reaching the trigger. If I remove the right hand side grip she...

I want to improve my handgun shooting skills. Partly due to higher ammo prices, partly to reduce my training time by not driving to range multiple times per week, and largely because of the lack of ammo availability I want to start dry-firing practice at home. Where should I start? What...

Contact your Kansas Representative, Senator and Governor to urge them to vote for an individual to have the right to keep and bear arms. http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Read.aspx?ID=4614 Kansas Senate Committee Passes SCR 1611 Right to Keep and Bear Arms Amendment Friday, March 20...

Does anyone know the status of the new M&P9c 9mm compact with the ambidextrous thumb safety (sku #206304)? I am in the market for one. It was supposed to be released in mid-January, but nearly two months later none of my local dealers nor their distributors list it as an available item in...

As two beginning shooters (dad - .22, son - .177 BB/pellet) with no family background in shooting, can you please recommend a good book or online training resource etc for learning rifle shooting techniques - stance, aiming etc. As non-citizens we cannot join our local club (citizens only) and...
