      Let's Talk About Bear Defense for an 82-Year Old.

      Having read all the replies, I feel obligated to convey a bear spray tale (although a true story). While in Cody, Wyoming, I wished to upgrade my Maryland Concealed carry - bear spray. (For my castle have 10mm & or 44 Mag, also) Went to a local shop to ask for latest equivalent spray to my old...

      How do you navigate while hunting?

      When you park for a hike or walk, orient yourself. Here's how I do it: I do not look at a compass, yet. Walk out a ways from vehicle and then mark your internal compass. In or on the ground mark what you think is north. Walk east or west, east coast I do east, west coast I do west, elsewh in...

      Survival Food Scams

      Aged C-Rations In 1981 we deployed to provide Air Control & Landing facilities. Shortly after leaving garrison the vehicle with supply of C-Rats broke down. On arrival at deployed location, a vehicle loaded with rations was waiting. When we opened the crusty, dust covered outer box, the...

      Looking for Shooting Bag Rests

      Shooting bags Most bag companies have been mentioned. I have both Warhorse and Wiebad. Both serve their purpose. I attach my Warhorse Clede using an arca plate (manufacturer my son from a cutting board) to my KRG chassis's arca rail - easy on easy off. I have a light weight and a heavy...

      The Importance of Magazine Rotation

      I purchased a Sig 365 a couple years ago. All 3 sizes of mag springs were so tight that without aid of a leveraged loader the last two rounds were difficult with just thumbs and the last round nearly impossible, even Mr. Muscles. So I bought a loader and loaded one of each size to max and left...

      How accurate stock Ruger 10/22

      More than one 10/22 all varying in accuracies Out of the box most 10/22s will shoot to a minute of squirrel. However, this depends on model in 22LR. The carbine with a barrel band seems to change harmonics in such a manner to open up impacts and add to fliers. Still minute of squirrel but...

      Wife wants a bedside firearm

      Think you will find the training suggestions will get the best results and one step farther, if you find a female instructor even better. My diminutive niece hated the Bodygiard 38 revolver, recoil even with low recoil ammo, was too snappy and her wrist hurt. But she loves her standard size 9...

      Don’t Buy or Shop from J2 Defense

      Herters ammo order before stiffed the ammo manufacturer Read an article posted by the maker of Herters ammo. They had to pay premium prices for brass, powder, primers, etc. Then Cabelas wouldnt pay the increase in price. Because the ammo was labeled Herters, the maker could not sell the...

      Recommendations for 45 Caliber Handguns

      In full size 45ACP, I have Sig 220, Glock 21 and 1911A1s. I shoot the 1911 in Wild Bunch Cowboy Action. For me the 1911's grip angle makes me shoot low, still, as it did when it was an issue for me as a pup (young guy). I shoot the grip angle of Sig220 and Glock 21 more accurately (not low)...

      What Type of Rifle Sight Did You Learn To Shoot On?"

      It would have been interesting to have included age of respondent. But moot point with over 90% iron. Didn't learn about scopes for many years, now my old eyes declare a scope a must have. Learned on a Red Rider BB Gun with iron of course. Then moved to a Sears bolt action tubular fed, which I...

      Private property shooting in Calvert

      Feel your pain with neighbors and uncalled for complaints about your range on your property. Please don't put cow or other animal manure to cause smell, until or if you get shut down by the court. All those ideas ppl have proposed might be good for revenge but have no place in common practice...

      WHICH GLOCK SHOULD I GET??

      Which Glock to shoot Its always good to have such a dilemma. I have 21g2, 22, 23, 26 (all G3s) and a certificate for a Glock from a raffle (planning for 34 MOS Gen 5) [have a 9mm conversion for G22] My best liked feature of Glocks is the fact that factory, in caliber, mags function in shorter...

      Even LE are now reduced to smaller magazines, CRAZY!!

      It seems like we are being pushed into the stone age! In Vietnam era we had to be given permission to shoot back, even if receiving fire! Looks like LE are suffering a similar fate in Maryland. If it does have to happen it should be the Police (like Baltimore Chief & Sheriff's) who supported...

      Sunday Hunting. Why not?

      No good facts available to NOT have Sunday hunting "Sunday NO hunting" is more an anti-'gun'/'hunt' rule than any other reason. It is hard for 'working' folk to get allowable hunting days and school kids do not get hunting days! Like it used to be 'off first day of season' then you could bring...
