    Any advice to Introducing firearms to young children ?

    Shot my son at 3yo with an airsoft gun. Big tears. Momma Bear was furious! Fair is fair let him shoot me as well, then the lesson began. I shot a watermelon with airsoft, then pelletgun, then .22, then my 9mm, got fresh watermelon and blew it up with my .454. Morel of the story was do...

    My friend is getting into hunting

    Hahaha Yes I ventured out west for my first trip this past season and I assisted several people here and on a couple other sites in upgrading their gently used gear and I'm thankful for that. Didn't save me any money as my budget was my budget, but it did get me a lot more bang for my buck...

    I've Developed A Flinch, Now What?

    Get an air rifle that is pretty accurate I use a Ruger Targis .22. I can pop cans with out to a 100 yards if the wind is calm. But it will really help your shot cycle. I bring it with me to the range from time to time if I feel I am anticipating the trigger break.

    Black Friday deals?

    Love my set warmth wise. I did manage to tear a small rip in them and they have matching tenacious tape for repairs and I am a amazed at how well the tape is holding up. As someone else stated don't go busting brush in them, but they are way to warm for me to do much moving around in them.

    FL unpronounceables are awesome. I have a REI puffy top and between it and the FL top it is a very noticeable difference in the amount of warmth and wind blocking capabilities.

    6.5 bullet for white tail and mule deer.

    Ran the 6.5 CM the last three years with 140g SSTs for Kentucky whitetail. 11 kills one went 30 yards that I shot at 22 yards. The rest were DRT. .270 with 150g SST was my favorite deer combo. The 6.5cm took its job. Way less recoil. And anchors whitetail very well. Longest...
