I have been ramping up on firearms practice and training with my son. I have always been decent with handguns and long guns, but never had any formal instruction. I want my son learning everything correctly, so I have hired a certified instructor I know a...
My son actually took me down on our first set at 200, so that was well in my mind as we continued. He shoots rather well, and it is an activity we really enjoy doing together.
I am fairly certainly one of the large neighborhood bull snakes has set up shop in one of our retianing walls. I am happy to keep an eye out and grab some photos just for you ;-)
Truth be told, I am a real animal lover. I don't hunt, I don't even run over rattlers in the neighborhood. Most neighbors do, but the truth is they were here long before the houses.
Looks like one might be a 556 or 301? How did it hold bullet trajectory at 600 yards? About 10 years ago I wanted to add a 50 cal Barrett but hesitated because I didn't want to pay $5 a round to sight the rifle then put it away. Now I wish I would have bo...
I’m in Massachusetts, my club tops out at 400 yards, and that is one of the longest ranges in the state. When ammo prices went trough the roof and I couldn’t find primers to reload my 300 PRC, I picked up a Bergara B14 R in .22. Been having a blast (pun i...
I know not everyone agrees, but I have always found guns and knives to be artistic. I admire the technical properties and machining of these objects. I enjoy handling them even when I am not shooting. It is very rare that a full day goes by when I do not ...
I am from Singapore where all males have to serve in the military. Was a marksman in my days and my son, who is now in the military, is also a sharp shooter. Alas, it’s hard to pursue this interest where I am. Hopefully, one day in the US, perhaps.
You really have to bear down and focus, and I like that aspect of it. To have my son with me, and so enthusiastic, it is very special. God Bless your son and all soldiers.
I'm a huge believer in proper instruction versus hiding such things away. I frequently review basic safety with the kids and wife (the wife does not pay as close attention, but she knows the basics). Guns are often a very unfortunate part of life, and I n...
We were the only ones on the rifle range for most of the time. A fellow member showed up when we were at 600, and used the other end of range. Really did not even know he was there.
