The audiologist that fitted me for my hearing aids in my late 30's (yep, that bad) told me that my hearing loss in the left ear was almost certainly due to being a right-handed shooter. My stance is just as WestKentucky describes.

I think that your question of kids making decisions on life or death kind of misses the mark as far as teaching kids to shoot goes. True, a firearm is potentially a deadly weapon that deserves respect, but so are minibikes, matches, lawn darts, or any number of things that we let our kids use...

There are still 8 or 10 states that have no preemption law stating that towns in the state cannot impose their own gun laws - Illinois is one of them. So any town in Illinois can pass their own gun laws, even if stricter than the state laws. And Denver still has (I believe) a "home rule"...

Her issue seems to be more motion vs. strength if I read correctly - you've tried a vertical foregrip, you say, but how about an adjustable one? Mounted horizontally, maybe? This is just a picture I found online when I did a search, but there seems to be a fair selection you could look at. I...

I hope it passes, but it's politics as a whole that will decide if it does or not. I'm personally not optimistic. Sure, the Republicans have majorities in both houses, and Trump is pro-2A, but if the Democrats put up enough of a fight it may not be worth the effort to make sure it passes...

Tinnitus can get worse. I've lost all of the hearing in my left ear, the only thing that I CAN hear with it is the tinnitus. Certain medications can make it worse (even if you stop taking them, I know from personal experience), and depending on the cause it can be made worse by further loud...

Go with the CZ. If you get the suppressor-ready version, I think your only choice is the synthetic stock. I didn't like the texture of mine when I got it, but that's easy to correct. A sweet little rifle, more accurate than I am by a long shot, and with a suppressor and standard velocity or...

So future leaders can become dictators? No. To increase government control over the masses to ensure that only the safest, most efficient, "equal" policies and outcomes are implemented for our own good, no matter how long or what methods it takes? Yes. They don't want dictators, they want...

We've lived here (a half hour from Dragonman's) for almost 20 years. Never had any real desire to go check it out based on what I've heard from other people, and now I know I never will. Too many other good ranges and stores in CO to waste my money and time there.

I've got all of my "needs" taken care of as far as HD, carry, etc., goes, but I have a constantly varying list of "wants" that I'll be working on as long as I live. For example, I want one example of every .22 High Standard pistol ever built and I've got a loooooong way to go on that one. I...

Looking at this thread, it looks like a nationwide trend. Locally, we have an older, indoor range that's been really well maintained over the years. The last 7-8 years, there has been an increase in problems relating to non-authorized ammo, shooting at target return mechanisms (you've got to...

I don't have experience with them, but the reviews of Holosun products are generally good. And I believe there's at least one THR member who replaced their recalled EOTECH (there's a thread here somewhere) with a Holosun and liked it, although I haven't heard any more about it. I think you...

I think you've got most of it. Open carry is legal except in a (very) few localities, and the National Parks follow the state laws of the state they're located in, except for "facilities" which will be clearly marked. You may get a few stares and pointed fingers, but you're legal. Your 15...

I have to second the Appleseed clinic idea. Took both of my kids to them, had a blast and learned a lot. It helps a lot if the kids are familiar with their rifles beforehand, and though the training is geared towards .22, we've participated with 5.56 and .30-06 also. The only problem with...

So much fun, shooting with a daughter, isn't it? Mine still likes to go out to the range with me, especially if she can take a boyfriend to show off in front of! And her 22/45 is still her favorite. Congrats, keep it up.

If you intend to volunteer your time at shooting events, etc., I'd say get your certifications in whatever discipline you're interested in. The cost is minimal, and if you ever want to volunteer someplace besides your "home" range it'll be easier to convince them that you're "legit". And like...

There's a small article on Bergara in the last Rifleman magazine. Seems they've teamed up with some ex-military sniper & gunsmith types to produce rifles. Don't know much about them otherwise. Heck, you've got one, you ought to be telling us if it's a good deal or not. Can we get a range report?

"But to anyone that questions my purpose with my videos or joining these forums, you know where you can go!" Love it! Best response I've seen in a while. I think you'll do fine however you decide to learn about shooting, you seem to take it seriously and that's the best way to go about it...

All of the above. Also, someone earlier mentioned finding a coach - probably the best advice so far. Who took you shooting the first time? Filmed you? Somebody that knows about shooting and that you trust? See if the range you were at has any beginner's classes or knows a good instructor in...

From what I'm reading above, I think I know the answer to this, but does anybody make a red dot with the same or similar "circle and dot" reticle? I sure love that thing.... If not, I might just hold onto the old 512, I've never had a real problem with it other than battery life.
