    Is it that bad? Trap and skeet people..

    Some of you may have read my other thread about having shot skeet for the first time and having a blast. I went with a group of friends and no one pestered, ridiculed or harassed anyone. While researching to make sure I had the rules and etiquette down I noticed quite a trend of stories about...

    Shot clays for the first time ever...

    And I need a new gun now. I had more fun shooting skeet than I have with any other shooting sport I've ever tried. :) I was using my 500 with 28" and IC choke. I did OK, but seeing some of the guns out there made me drool. Synergys, fancy autos.. I would really like to get a nice semi...

    Back from the show!

    Hey everyone, long time no post. I finally decided on getting my chl and the gun to do it with. I came home from the gunshow with a prize. :) Kahr CM9 for $405. I think this was a great deal with no ffl fees and no shipping! Broke it down and cleaned it up. Kahr puts more oil on a...

    Conflicted

    Hey everyone, I am a bit confused and figured you guys are the best to asks this to. So left me preface this by saying I have been hunting with relatives about twice a year for few years now, but this was really my first year of having my own rifle set up and everything. Anyways, last night...

    AK front sight

    Hey everyone, For the life of me I can't find a tool to adjust the AK's front sight (that seems to be worth a dang). I know Midway has one, but the reviews say it sucks. The rifle is technically a Yugo RPK, but that shouldn't matter. I tried needle nose pliers, but I couldn't really get them...

    Anyone had this happen before?

    So I was out shooting my GP100 with some friends and we were all firing it single action. Twice the hammer would only pull back about halfway and then lockup. I don't remember how I got it unlocked, but it kinda worried me. I havent shot it since, but I might try this weekend, anyone else...

    Thread from another forum

    Texas: Loaded shotgun in vehicle?

    Hey everyone, I wanted to double check the legality of having a loaded shotgun in your vehicle, particularly under a jacket or such. My understanding is that it is legal, but I don't know if you attempt to 'hide' it? Also does anything change if you drive and park on university property...

    Buck Mark optic mount

    Hey everyone, I have a red-dot sight I want to mount on my Buck Mark, and was going to get this mount http://www.jackweigand.com/bbm22.html, but I am also ordering a recoil pad for my 500, and wanted to get them from the same place. I found this one...

    Highest pressure

    Anyone know what the highest pressure cartridge is? I know there are a lot that run at 65,000 psi, but are there any that break 70,000 psi? Perhaps one of the Lazzaroni cartridges is the highest? Even the 20x102 doesn't seem to get over 62,000, and it pushes that 20mm bullet at 3,300 fps...

    Multi-purpose 9mm

    So I have some cash and figured it might be a good time to pick up a 9mm for range/conceal carry use. I don't have the cash for two, so it needs to be big enough so recoil doesn't get too annoying, but also easy enough to conceal in hot Texas weather. I don't know if such a gun exists, but I...

    Hmm? Need help!

    So, I found a gun show is happening this weekend, and my holiday loot is burning a hole in my pocket! I am on the fence between either a Bersa .380 or a Hi Point 995TS. Very different guns I know, but they both are nice firearms and are less than I'm willing to spend so I can still save some...

    Carry on campus

    So I know there are a lot of college students here so I have a question for y'all. (and everyone else) I am a student at a major university, that happens to be located in a bad area. I have classes until 10pm soon, and really do not want to be defenseless when campus is less populated, not...

    IHMSA in Houston

    So I have been wanting to get into a competition somewhere around here and silhouette (pistol) seems like a fun one. I have been having a heck of a time finding any in the area. Do any of you belong to a club that has any, or know of anything around Houston? (preferably the southwestern area...

    Target

    So, I am wanting a EAA witness match for range duty. I am torn between the 9mm or the .45. I do not want this to become a battleground. Is either more well regarded as a target caliber? I do reload, but don't want to reload all the ammo for it, as it can get tedious, so price is a mild...

    New rifle :)

    So I bought my first gun in quiet a while today. A Marlin 336C in .35 Remington. I think I might be in love. :o Its 'used' but doesn't look like it's ever been shot. I don't think I did too bad on the price. $390, may have been a bit high, but I wanted it today and it was the ONLY lever...

    Help me choose

    Long time no see, hope everyone is well. So, I'm getting ready for hog hunting and really don't have a suitable rifle for it. I could use my Mosin, but it isn't real accurate and the sights suck. I like the K-98 and the Enfield, and have shot the Enfield and was pretty good with it, but I...

    I can't believe I'm asking this..

    So I am using a Redding type-s die and it has the bushing thing for exact bench rest sizing. The instructions said you don't have to use it, so I didn't and I also didn't need to prime the cases as they had already been, so I backed the decapping pin out so it wouldn't hit the primers. This...

    I made a boo boo

    So I reloading some .30-30s for the first time after not reloading for a while and I had forgotten to chamfer the case mouth. Can I do this with the powder in the cases or do I need to start over? Will it be OK if if a few tiny brass shaving end up inside the cases?
