I will be missing out on it for a few days as I am entering the hospital at 4:30 AM my time to get one wheel replaced. It's been years since I have been in the place but anything to do with firearms was blocked by their internet service then and I don't expect anything has changed as all their...

I am doing pre-op therapy before my hip replacement and one therapist painted a pretty bleak picture of what I would be able to do. I had a pre-op appoint with the surgeon yesterday and questioned him. It seems the therapist told the very worst things that might happen and very seldom do. It is...

My SIL bought one of these recently. I looked at an early one and thought it would make a great jeep gun but didn't like that it was limited to the sights that it came with or a rather clunky arrangement to use a red dot so I put that thought away and went another direction. Now it seems that...

She came to visit yesterday along with her mother and two sisters, She was a happy young woman having just passed hunter's safety with the highest score in the class but a bit bummed at missing only one question. If she had gotten them all correct she would have been automatically entered in all...

After quite a few months of messing around with an arthritis doctor, then a pain doctor, and MRIs with nothing accomplished they sent me to an orthopedic surgeon. 5 minutes or so spent on x-rays and the problem is apparent even to my untrained eye. Bone on bone in my right hip. I suppose many...

I gave this gun to my oldest grandson several years ago so he woudl have a 9mm. I have since offered to buy it back from him. Uh-uh, grandpa, but you can use it any time you want. We were recently discussing the influx of illegals that are showing up in our area now and I mentioned that I keep a...

Both houses passed the bill and it's on it's way to the governor's desk. She will be grinning like a possum eating ripe persimmions when she signs this.

Today is our 65th wedding anniversary. I didn't get my wife roses and she didn't buy me a new gun. I would really have liked a new gun, almost any gun. Unlike flowers you don't have to dump them in the trash after a week. :D A Smith GTX would have been nice on her part.

I didn't even realise we were having one until my SIL called and told me he would pick me up at 9 AM to attend. I told him I would have to pass but appreciated the offer. Bum hip is really bummed this morning for some reason and I wouldn't even be able to make it from my door to his truck. The...

The title of a front page article in today's paper and it reads: John Stine,19, recently competed in the trifecta of North American silhouette shooting competitions to win the 2023 Lapua Monarch Cup and be crowned the North American Silhouette Champion. He resides In Denver City, TX, a small...

I received an email from Walther about their new PD 380 pistol yesterday. It appears to be a pretty nice offering. If any one has an interest in the 380 platform you might take a look.

Yesterday afternoon I was killing time watching various YouTube videos while babying my bum leg and ran across one of the Ruger 5-7 or whatever it is called, 2200 fps or something like that out of a 22 caliber hand gun. Wow. what a fireball out of a tiny little 22 round. When firing a long...

I am referring to my range membership fee. At least it is very reasonable even if did increase this year but they took it easy on the geezers and it only went up $10 for us. I have used the range only three time this year and the last time was just as a spotter for my grandson that had replaced...

Here it is summertime and my right hip has gone haywire so no range time for me. I can barely shuffle along with a cane and not very far at at a time. The medical department is working on me but not much is happening in the improvement department. I have a new rifle to do load development for...

Not literally and let me add there is nothing to be ashamed of if you are a redhead. It is just a figure of speech. There are three in my immediate family and I love every one of them although the 7 year old can be a real little wart at times. On to the rifle, my 22 TCM that gets little to no...

While digging through boxes looking for an item I ran across this. I made it around 20 years ago while my hands were still doing what my brain told them to fairly well. It's 8-9 oz. Herma's Oak, lined, hand stitched, and fits a Ruger BlackHawk. When I sewed it together I found the leather was...

Anyone that has read the posts I made about mine knows what I think about it but I made an improvement that seems to have helped some in the accuracy department. It was pretty simple. Even with the dull so called silver coat that Ruger uses I was getting some glare on my front sight so out came...

Weatherguesser promised 5-10 mph wind today and I went to the range early. It was overcast, moist, and the wind was more in the 15-15 gusting to 20 range by the time I drove the 25 miles. That made it chilly enough I needed a light jacket. I set up and shot revolvers at 15 yards off a rest. My...

At least on a day when I didn't have anything I just had to do. #1 grandson and I had planned a range trip for early this morning and conditions were so away we went, him to sight in an AR with a new barrel and me to finally shoot the 22 TCM I traded for. Things did not go well with either...

This one is from last winter and the pattern is a composite of Al Stholman, another deceased leather crafter, and me that I assembled. It is made from 8-9 ounce Herman's Oak, lined, and hand stitched. It is right cross draw which makes it handy to wear in my jeep while traveling the boondocks...
