shooting

Many say the Walther P38 was the precursor to the modern service handgun; double and single action trigger, decocker/safety lever, relatively lightweight for the time and a locking breech to contain the 9mm luger cartridge. While the pistol itself is rooted in infamy it still stands to say it...

I hear quite often in here that the best thing to do with anti-gun persons is to take them shooting. In most cases the hope is that being guided out of their ignorance by a (assumed) safe and knowledgeable shooter will overcome all previously held biases transforming them from gun grabbers to...

I have a stock Mossberg 590 Shockwave and have been shooting it. I noticed it shoots about a foot high at 10 yards and I believe the reason is the action is higher than the barrel, so when I aim with the beed I have to aim lower than if I had a rail along the barrel like a hunting shotgun would...

Men compete in the following shooting events in the Summer Olympics: 10m air pistol men 10m air rifle men 25m rapid fire pistol men 50m rifle 3 positions men Shot gun skeet men Shot gun trap me Were it up to you, which events would you cease, and which would you replace them with? Thanks.

Hello all, I'm new to the forum, name's Tony. Had a question about my gun maybe someone can help. I shot my brand new Maverick 88 today, and had quite an alarming malfunction happen twice. I was shooting #4 birdshot, they were cycling ok, with one small exception, sometimes I would pump it, and...

Hey all, I have an older Remington 870 wing master from my dad. It is just a plain barrel with a bead sight at the end, not ribbed. The problem I’m having is the damn bead sight is so small and hard to see, plus this is just my personal opinion, but I don’t think the bead sight is a very good...

Hey all, I’ve been thinking about buying my first AR. I’m not too sure if I can just buy the ones I’ve been looking at, especially in New York I don’t know too much about the AR requirements and laws. Anyone have a good knowledge of this? I was looking at a couple reliable starter ones such as...

I have heard really good things about targetsportsusa for ammo. I don’t usually buy bulk because I have a gun shop right next to me so if I knew I was gonna shoot I’d walk to the gun store and buy rounds. I know online is cheaper but that’s also with shipping and sense I don’t buy bulk I...

Hey all, I’m looking for a 223 Remington rifle that can also shoot the 5.56 AR round. I am on a budget too sadly so would likely want to keep it under $400. Any suggestions? I know Ruger has an American ranch bolt action that I heard is nice and somewhere around my range. Any other options or...

So recently ive been looking at property in texas and have been seeing that alot of people down there put up ranges on their property without much issue. The only big factor i see is with neighbors and the sound of gunshot. With it being texas i know alot of people down there are gun nuts as...

I recently perched a tikka tx3 30-06 and I wanted to see if anyone has some recommendations for ammo that would shoot best and not brake the bank. I am using it for hunting primarily and maybe some target shooting over the summer.

I joined very recently and enjoy target practice. I live in Nevada so lots of open country to do some shooting. I don't like leaving a mess and was wondering what types of reactive targets everyone uses. I mostly use pistols, and I found an interesting site for a new target stand and system, but...

Might be changing my decision when it comes to my upper receiver. I came across a seemingly legit site for complete upper receivers. I can basically build it exactly how I want with what I want internally and externally (depending how much I decide to spend lol) Although when I went to look up...

I wrote this a quite while ago, and with some minor updates, it's still valid today. It's geared toward someone buying their first airgun or wanting an airgun to introduce people to rifle shooting. It's saved a lot of people from buying a gun at a big box store, wasting their money, and and...

Gadgets for evaluating my reloads has increased. Granted, I am a gadget junkie. Yes, I have a chronograph that takes an amazing amount of data on each round and it has helped considerably in my load development. Sometimes I wonder if I shoot just so I can reload. I really like doing both. Am I...

Sometimes I think people don't know how quickly you can operate a pump shotgun. Source: http://blog.suarezinternational.com/2017/09/speed-comparison-pump-vs-semi.html No haters please I'm not saying you can't pull the trigger faster with a carbine or semi-auto, but personally I'm not too...

In the wake of the officer's acquittal and release of dashcam footage - What's your opinion on the shooting of Philando Castile? All across social media, it seems the majority finds it wholly unjustified. Albeit, many of these individuals are (most likely) ignorant of proper behavior when...
