Nothing really fancy about this SxS CZ Bobwhite. Picked it up today for half of what they usually go for. Not many deals at most gun shows. 20 gauge with double triggers. Five choke tubes. One minor nick in wood that you can barely see. Now I just have to learn how to shoot double triggers...

So wife and I went on vacation, basically I was the chauffeur. She has been wanting to go se the Biltmore Estate in Ashville for some time, so we drove down. I swung through Knoxville on the way down to visit with another THR member and on through the tourist trap areas of Severeville, Pigeon...

A shotgun is not a "shotty" It's not a "mossy", "winnie", "remmy". It's Mossberg, Winchester, and Remington. It's gauge, not guage. A shotgun used for wingshooting is pointed, not aimed, if you are using it like a rifle at a static target, by all means aim it. Sorry just a few pet peeves of...

Got the cannon out and made up some powder packets for it. For those who don't know how, this seems to be the preferred way to make them for a cannon. I will make packets full of cornmeal about twice as big to load as blanks for compression. I am using about 500 grains of 1F powder in the...

Between work and life getting in the way, I haven't had a chance to get out and shoot since September last year. My club just reopened last week being shut down for the virus, most of the people who run it are volunteers in their 70's so I can't blame them for shutting down. So I met my...

It has been a tough year trying to get out and shoot very much, only been out about 6 times to the skeet and trap ranges this year. Made it out today with 90 degree temperatures and shot 4 rounds of skeet. So far I have only shot pump guns and was thinking that was all I was going to do for...

Well, last weekend our club had it's championship shoot. They made it a bit different this year with 100 skeet, 100 trap, and 100 sporting clays. In the past it has been 25 of each and the last 25 of your choice. As it was 300 birds they made it for both Saturday and Sunday. Each individual...

Our club started holding a sub-gauge sporting clays handicap fun shoot on the last Saturday of every month. This was the first opportunity that I had to go shoot it. 100 birds on 12 stations where most stations you get 2 presentations, A as a single, B as a single, then an A-B report pair and...

Was on vacation this week, trying to catch up on honey-do list and get some things done around the house. Decided to go to the gun club this evening and shoot some trap games. It has been about 3 years since I had played any and I don't shoot many trap birds during the year, maybe 300 total...

Met my shooting bud today for a couple rounds of skeet and a couple rounds of trap. Invited another guy to join us, he had shot a little sporting clays, and a round of skeet years ago but nothing recently. About 90 degrees with high humidity and very little breeze and full sun. We were...

Was browsing the gun dept with my twin 16 year old daughters at the new/old Gander Outdoors and they homed in on a Browning in the gun case. They weren't very busy and one of the counter salesmen asked if we wanted to see something. Very slim 1911 scaled down to fit the .380, this one was the...

Any input on these thermal sights, I would like to get into an entry level thermal scope to hunt varmints, coyote, fox, raccoon, etc. Kinda have heard good things about FLIR systems, but nothing first hand about this scope, just the reviews which are mostly good...

It's been going on three months since I got out to shoot skeet and trap, between work, sickness, and life getting in the way, finally called my buddy and said "let's shoot no matter the weather". Nice sunny brisk day, was 37* with 25-35MPH winds out of the east mostly, veering from the north...

The last 7 or 8 guns shows I have went to the last year or so I have yet to find any decent deals. I stumbled on this fairly nice Remington 870TB for $500. A few nicks and dents in the grade B wood, and recoil pad has been butchered a bit, but it is shootable as is. Very little wear on mag...

We had our club championship today, nice day, a bit hot and humid for this time of year, but no rain. I shot rather poorly, but still came in second, but no bragging rights. I was about ready to leave after noon when I noticed a couple of younger guys just kinda standing outside the clubhouse...

Well was supposed to meet my shooting buddy at the gun club today to shoot a few rounds of skeet but forgot that they were having the pre-state registered skeet tournament. So we decided to shoot the 100 bird sporting course that they refurbished this spring and neither of us had shot. The...

For the past almost two years have been working on and off on a black powder cannon. It is a half scale model of a civil war six-pounder. Got the barrel from here: http://greystarcannontech.homestead.com/star.html Rough up of some wood work and the wheels are from Amish country, chariot...

I usually shoot skeet pretty exclusively, with a round of sporting clays thrown in now and then. My friend that I have been teaching skeet said "let's go shoot some trap next time", so we did. It's been since last August since I shot 2 round of trap, so I figured I would miss a few, but ended...

I was offered a trade for a long gun I have had up for sale for some time, the stainless Ruger was offered up. I have several 1911's, but no commander length at this time. Guy says it has had 2 mags run through it and has an Ed Brown holster, don't know what type. What's going rate for these...

I h ad been kicking around getting a CZ Huglu Ringneck in 20 gauge for quite a while. When I got an E-mail from the NRA with a 10% off coupon on any regularly priced firearm at Gander Mountain, I thought "That would knock off about $100" This was the only one in stock, had a couple of 28...
