    Sporting use for #4 buck

    I have killed lots of deer with buckshot either the 000 or 00. I know how far to limit my shots. When hunting where there are houses and cattle near by I think it is the only safe option. #4 buck is great on coyotes and HD where your shots are short range. I have seen my pop kill a doe with one...

    What size HD buckshot?

    I got a good deal a few years ago on some copper plated #4 turkey loads 3". I have a remington 870 with an 18 and half inch barrel and keep it loaded with them. At 20 feet it will shoot thru 1/4 inch plywood ever time I pull the trigger. I dont know how that compares to shooting into a bad guy...

    Questions about artillery and ownership

    If I recall right these guns are not owned by the resorts they are owned and maintained by the Dept of Agriculture (the only other Dept that has heavy weapons). Most of them are out dated WW2 field guns.

    What caliber for lion?

    I seem to think that any rifle suited for deer hunting would be ok for lion in a non charge shoot it out the front door kind of way something like a 30-06 300wsm or the like would be fine. If I was caught out I wouldnt be upset to find my 1100 rem 12 gauge in my hand with one round of slug...

    Alternate History...

    This might have slowed down the main stream use of rifles but the idea of a grooved barrel didnt come about to make a bullet spin it first cam out to give a place for the fouled powedr to go. The spinning of the bullet came from non perfect grooved barrels so I think that we would have seen...

    stinger rounds and black bears

    Seems like I have read about fishing guides useing light loads like 7 1/2 to put bears on the go. Seems like at 25 to 30 yards this would work without much hurt to the bear if you didnt put one in his eye. I wonder if a paintball gun shot from some cover would "hurt" the bear enough to get him...

    You might just be a Mall Ninja if:

    TSA is the real jokers I was in Dallas at the airport with my mom wife and little girl (she was three at the time). Well my wife and mom stopped to get some water and I told them that we would go ahead and get thru the check station. First they would not let me and my little girl come thru...

    The fall of the Alamo, March 6, 1836.

    I was not trying to upset the state of Texas, find your heros where you will. The war for Texas was not the war Travis and Bowie was fighting. That was my only point and I have nothing more to add or take away from this. I never said that all divorce is bad I said Travis left his wife and...

    The fall of the Alamo, March 6, 1836.

    So we are not winning the war on terror cause I think some of the men that died at the Alamo wasnt fighting for freedom? That seems like a classic case of taking the high road to end a debate. I dont think all wars or battles are about money but the facts and truths are pretty clear on this one...

    The fall of the Alamo, March 6, 1836.

    "ARKIESTEEL, So...you don't think much of Travis, Bowie or Crocket. What's your point? NASCAR" No I dont think too much of Travis for sure he left a wife and kids to run off and play army. Any man that could do that is not hardly worth the label of hero no matter what he done after...

    The fall of the Alamo, March 6, 1836.

    Not to be on the other side of things but; Travis left his wife and kids (divorced them) to seek fame and money in Texas Bowie was not what you would call an "upright" guy either. Made money in the slave trade Crocket was drumed out of U S senate with the words "you can go to hell and...

    My "Be Prepared" Pack (links included)

    Not long after joining this site I got to thinking about this and I have put together a bug out "box" large rubber made. The place I have decided to go to is 2 hours away(if I drive the speed limit) so the box will fit ok in the back of my truck. I have tried and dont have any problems lifting...

    Good Read

    Guns Save Lives By John Stossel Wednesday, February 27, 2008 It's all too predictable. A day after a gunman killed six people and wounded 18 others at Northern Illinois University, The New York Times criticized the U.S. Interior Department for preparing to rethink its ban on guns in...
