    Cow elephant. The most intimidating animal on the planet!

    With all due respect sir, you do not want to see what an elephant 'infestation' does to the environment. Go look at the Northwestern parts of Zimbabwe and even parts of the greater Kruger National Parks and other surrounding conservation areas to really see how the bushveld gets destroyed by...

    Cow elephant. The most intimidating animal on the planet!

    Great story . . with one spelling correction only (from an Afrikaner :) ) Correct spelling for "Vley", is V.L.E.I. And yes - those old matriarchs of the elephant herds are a law all unto themselves.

    How to start off a great day at the range

    Back in 1967 as a 17 year old National Service draftee into the South African Defence Force, I was assigned to the Vickers platoon. Vickers MMG ex WWII, with Maxim tripods ex WWI and canvas ammo belts loaded with green corroded .303 also ex-WWII. The barrels on those guns were so worn out, the...

    PICS from the Bass Pro grand opening

    Medwheeler - I was at the Port St Lucie BassPro a few days after their Wednesday opening and by then their .22 ammo was totally depleted, except for some subsonics. Not much in the line of .223 on the floor either at that time. Have not been there recently, so I am not in a position to comment...

    Firearms Ownership for Non-Americans Living in the U.S.

    The crux is Permanent Residency with a "green card". On just a visa (working, study, or visiting) you unfortunately are not able to purchase a firearm from an FFL. There are some exceptions for visa visitors to obtain some temporary approval to use a firearm for hunting purposes, but that...

    AR15 Back up iron sights - anyone try this?

    For $130 or so, you can get the JP Enterprises detachable short range sight. You will also need an offset mount for it, but in my opinion it gives you the equivalent of a handgun sight(that you should be familiar with) on a rifle. Yes, sight radius is short, but, it's purpose is short range...

    ive got to Go Easy on the Gander Bashing

    Not so much about ammo, but I had a sour experience on trying to work a deal on a rifle (Savage MK II BSEV) with them (GANDER) and trading in a Rem 700. Low-balled me on the trade offer and I know they don't budge on new gun prices, so I went to a local store and walked out with a net $100...

    Shooting Back UPDATE: Now Available Free For Kindle For A Limited Time

    As an ex-South African and first namesake of Charl van Wyk (no I don't know him personally :)), who has lived in South Africa during some of the bad terrorist attacks, I fully endorse this book. I remember clearly the shock and trauma our country was subjected to on that day, back in July 1993...

    Rimfire rifle target: "The Forty-Eight"

    How about another +2 points for hitting the overlap between the 2 green circles in the middle of the target. That makes it a nice even round 50 max points :)

    Hunting with a centerfire Rifle in Florida's WMA

    Your biggest challenge during general hunting season, when you are allowed to use center fire rifles in a fair number of WMA's are to be able to snag one of the very limited WMA permits. No permit, no hunting license, HO HUNTING during general season. Even if you are only interested in...
