    The future of Lead

    It is estimated that 7 million rounds of small arms ammunition was fired at the battle of Gettysburg. The standard ammunition present would have been the US minie ball, weighing in at 1.5 ounces. This comes out to 21,333.33 rounds per ton of lead. This gives us 328 tons of lead. 328 tons...

    Expandable broadheads recommendation

    So far, Sevr 1.5s have required the least tuning of any broadhead i've ever used. This group was at 45 yards no tune or sight adjustment at all. I haven't killed anything with them, but they seem very well constructed. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Side effects of lasik/prk and the outdoor experience

    Had PRK year and a half ago. I was a welder, and was told 7-8 yrs ago that if i had the procedure done then, with my career it may not last. Then i switched jobs and had it done. Absolutely best money i ever spent. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    How many of you own semi-auto rifles?

    I own them. I hunt with almost all, save for my WW2 vintage rifles. ARs can make fantastic deer, coyote varmint rifles. I recently finished up a lightweight "AR-10" in .308 for treestand/western hunting. Very accurate rifles, very reliable, very user friendly. I also hunt w/ a 7400 in 243. No...

    Knight Mountaineer help

    I cannot say i have any experience with that particular setup, but the 1st thing that came to my mind was your powder charge seems a little light. All of my muzzies tend to shoot best starting about 80/85 grains up to about 120 ish. But like i said, no experience with the Mountaineer. Sent...

    Ruger M77 Compact

    Another option that i didn't see spoke of above is the Ruger Gunsite Scout. Im ignorant of the current caliber offerings, but i have 2 in 308 and they are very accurate. Plus they are very adjustable to the user. Also, they are threaded, so adding a brake is very simple if desired. They are...

    Weatherby Olympian

    Hey all you gun folks! I need a little help here. LGS just got one of these in, and it seems to be in like new condition. Problem is i can find almost no info. Best i've gathered it was made by Nikko, and is essentially a Winchester 101. Not many were made. Any opinions of value, or of the...

    Battling tendonitis before going on Trip of a lifetime

    I messed up my shoulder almost 14 years ago playing high school football. Then i became a pipefitter, and my shoulder has always had just a nagging, constant pain. Not enough for me to get work done on it, but enough that i was always trying to do different stretch or exercise or going out of my...

    Sweating in the backcountry...

    Well dude i have to disagree with your first point. I may not be have it down to a science, but i've had success. But if i'm moving i'm sweating. Its fairly mitigated where I live now, because we hunt treestands. But i sweat on the way in for sure. And my rabbit hunting in January/February...
