      Aging eyes and Rimfire shooting

      Good day everyone. I am brand new to this site as of today and I shoot mainly Rimfire guns and was wondering if anyone has any ideas for a 59 year old with trouble seeing close up to see the iron sights and to also see the target clearly? I do wear readers (drugstore reading glasses) I saw a...

      Plinking target ideas: What ya got?

      Large army men from the Dollar Tree,4 of them for 1.00 they will take tons of lead and it doesn't even go all the way through them even with 1000 fps at 30 feet. Advill bottles work great too,they fly when you hit them and take a lot of shots. I made a target with rows of spoons from Dollar...

      Beat the cold with a this setup BB Gun range.

      Nice to hear a young guy enjoying shooting,great that your helping. He will never forget those times. If you need a silent target for basement use duct seal in a wooden box. (google silent pellet trap) Have a blessed day.

      Beat the cold with a this setup BB Gun range.

      Very nice! I started shooting air guns when 22 ammo became almost impossible to buy in MD. I used it to force me to clean up my basement and now have two large target backstops with lighted targets,one is more for bb guns and the other is for high powered pellet guns. I have one target I made...

      Dicks Sports in Columbia does not sell firearmss.

      They don't carry archery stuff either,not even a target. When I went in and asked,the girl almost cringed and said oh no sir we have never sold guns here and won't. She said you need to go to Glen Burnie to buy that stuff,like it was drugs or some illegal things that i was asking for.

      basement shooting

      Good day all. I have a airgun range set up in my basement of 30 feet. Am I just wishful thinking that I could shoot my 22 lr pistols and rifles down there with a fan running? Anybody have any ideas on this? I would not be shooting every day,just once in a while. I have a steel backstop and...
