      quest for a DIY 'Shoot-n-c' type target

      Recently I got fed up purchasing targets that allowed me to see where I was hitting. I also got fed up with just printed targets as its really hard to see the tiny little holes (I guess i need to make bigger ones... ;) )... This leads me to my quest to create a DIY target that mimics the...

      Myrtle grove today

      This past weekend I took my new lil marlin 795 out to the range. It was a lot of fun driving some 22s into the bullseye from 20 yrds... My wife had a blast as well... Will need to mount a scope to it and try out a lil farther :-) All was great except for getting rained on by some hot .380...

      Whatever happened to "good ol' farm" shooting ??

You pick your target and wait for the amazing 'clink!' when you hit something. Nothing like shooting at the...

      cleaning winchester 290 problems... need help...

      There is a whole other assembly (with the other spring) that goes in after the one in the pictures. I believe that should be ok... Really just hoping that I do not have to take the stock completely apart and that I'm just missing something small...

      cleaning winchester 290 problems... need help...

      What's strange is that when I just have the spring and the bolt in, it still will not go all the way back... I will attach a picture of what I mean in a few minutes edit: attachments added... 1 picture of the bolt in without me pulling it back, 2 of how far I can actually pull it back...

      Myrtle grove today

      i went yesterday for my first time right around 1700. It was a nice place and only 3 tables were being used. Great time. i have a strange feeling that I'm going to be making a habit of going to the grove quite often... even tho its 45 mins one way :/

      first myrtle grove visit and a question on transportation

      Yesterday I went to Myrtle grove to test out and sight in my new 357 mag. It was a good time and my new baby shoots like a dream. The range is quite nice actually (was expecting something else entirely for it being a public range) except for the startling shower of AR shells coming from a pair...

      first handgun purchase in MD, suggestions?

      Howdy all, Its been quite some time but I thought I'd return to at least give a photo of my new addition. I waited quite a while since my last posting here to actually get my handgun but the wait wasn't for nothing. In the mean time, i did switch out the bird shot to buck (buckshot is hard...
