I've posted here in the past about my bad shoulder. Judo injury, years old, pain, numbness, weakness, misery, yadda yadda. For various reasons having to do with insurance, I'm finally in a position to maybe do something about it. Have a consult coming up. From what I'm reading about the...

Pardon any poor sentence construction, spelling or grammar errors. I just finished writing this and want to post for commented before everyone goes to bed. I mentioned several weeks back I was gonna be working on a paper on mental illness and gun laws. Well, I've become a bit of an expert in...

Eyes open, that is. I'm a left-hander who shoots right-handed, and I'm right eye dominant. My left-handed has had me questioning my eye dominance a lot, but it is pretty pronounced. I shoot trap decently with one eye, and that's how I'm most comfortable. I've been learning skeet and I...

the NRA. :D Hunting/fishing show today and an NRA recruiter was there. The plan for the longest time has been to get an easy-pay life membership for Thain, my better half, and a spouse membership for me, and then get my life membership when his is paid off. We held off and held off and...

I admit, I'm fascinated. I shoot 9mm. and .22 because I'm cheap, but I love a big boom. I shot a friend's Blackhawk .357mag this past fall for an afternoon. Loved every minute of it. I've discovered a range near my in-laws that rents guns. Now, it's pretty pricey to rent, but it sure...

I'm currently working of sorting out a topic for a seminar paper on some aspect of gun law. In trying to discern my topic, I am researching various states' requirements for concealed handgun/weapon licenses. See, MI, where I am located, disallows issuance of a CPL to anyone with a diagnosed...

I apologize in advance for the basic question, but I'm trying to buy some bullets ahead of time, and am not sure what to buy. I don't own a .45 yet, have not loaded .45's and essentially don't know what I'm doing. But I'd like to get in on a killer deal on bullets now, since we're probably...

We've had a long thread or two in the past couple of months about how poorly women are sometimes treated at gun shows, segueing into how poorly everyone tends to be treated at gun shows. Today was different though. Guess everyone was just in a good mood. Maybe the mild weather, maybe just...

My very first actual in my own name purchase permit. (In MI, freedom is limited a long guns, handguns require a permit). I got two permits today. One is earmarked for a Buckmark. Waiting for a PM back on that one. (Please, please, please pm me back....please...:o) The other? I dunno. I...

Last week I picked up a bunch of brass. Some was left over from a couple day earlier. Some was new. It either fell into snow, or straight onto ice, where it instantly melted and then the ice quickly refroze around it. Getting it out was a bit tricky. I finally got around to sorting and...

I figured it was poor skills, until this past Sunday. I have an older S&W (a model 59, if anyone knows it). 9mm. I usually shoot the usual WWB or UMC 115gr cheapo plinking stuff. I shoot mostly from about eight yards, mostly because my "groups" get about two feet across from further back...

I'm planning to set up mostly for pistol loading, and I'm already loading 9mm. on a friend's equipment, but I really want to keep around a couple of 7.62x54r. I've only got forty pieces of brass right now, and I don't really see myself shooting it in large quantities at all, at least not...

I've come across several sets of pics of modular mounting systems for presses--probably some 'em belonging to THR-ers. The one I am most interested in implementing is pretty much this one: http://www.zjstech.net/gunstuff/reloadbench.html Each press is mounted to a board and the board then...

Caution: this is long, and probably incredibly boring. So, the backstops at the pistol range at my club were significantly shot up. The two center ones in particular, had more or less disintigrated beyond usability. I'm a pretty new member and didn't really know how these things work, so I...

I've been lucky that since I've become interested in guns I haven't worked a typical 9-5 schedule. A friend of mine is not so lucky. Got himself his first pistol a couple weeks ago (after a quick shooting intro by Thain and myself :)). Since then, he's started a new job, 8-5. Seems if he...

I'd like to not miss deer season *again* next year, but I'm a little too nervous to join the masses on public land during regular firearm season. And so, like countless others, I'm thinking of a muzzleloader. I've seen some folks shooting them, and a good friend just got a T/C Renegade. I...

What do you prefer, and why? I've never shot at an indoor range. It seems a little too crowded, too noisy, too many people poking their nose over my shoulder. I also don't like having to go onto someone else's turf quite so much; it seems from various threads I've read here that there are...

So, lets say, hypothetically, that you and your spouse were finally getting rid of some expensive inherited knick-knacks and were planning on spending the proceeds on guns. Preferably, several guns. Let's say, also hypothetically, that you really want to max out the recreational and...

Over the past several weeks since I started pistol shooting I've gone from being pretty on target at 7 yards and getting better at 25 to shooting consistently high, by about four to eight inches at seven yards. The troubleshooting wheels suggest I'm breaking at the wrist. How do I fix it? I...

I don't carry. I especially don't carry in the house. My toddler still nurses and she climbs all over me. Tonight we had a small scare--someone robbed one of the stores a couple blocks away and ran away into our neighborhood. Possibly shots fired, not sure though. Definitely a ruckus, and...
