To the OP. Go somewhere you can do some shooting in the middle of the night. practice shooting in the dark with a light, without one, with a headlamp. Figure out which makes you most effective, and then go with that.
To those who think a light is pointless/counter productive in a self defense...
Chainsaws for disassembling moose is a pretty common practice. In college I was a hired hand for an guy who extracted moose from the BWCA area for people, and he had some kind of permit to use a chainsaw in the wilderness. If I remember right he used a narrow kerf, stainless steel blade to...
Rattlesnakes used to bother me, then I spent a good chunk of time in a place with a veritable cornucopia of cobras, kraits, and vipers. I would also agree that cottons and coppers are much more sinister.....those rattles make all the difference.
I have to revise my comment. I thought this was a bigger box.
I got one of those crazy yeti boxes similar to this for free a few years ago. I have found it of kind of marginal use. Basically just a super expensive truck organizer, without a lot of room for bigger items. What parts of the Coho...
I think the issue is ranchers want the elk off, but don't want to let hunters on. You can't kill elk up on public and expect it to solve the problems on private, it will just drive more elk onto the private....
While I agree these are kind of ridiculous on their face. I also acknowledge my own hypocrisy, in that I have a safe full of expensive hunting rifles all purchased after my Tikka T3 SS 7mm Rem Mag in 2004, none of which really do anything statistically better than the Tikka. All making me less...
Those Victorys have me intrigued. I shot the original VAPs and had issues with the outserts, but they penetrated like crazy. The SS layers seem like a good compromise and they are a heavy shaft. Thanks!
I want to find an off the shelf arrow, and have shot a bunch of different carbons over the years. The hard part is I wanted to find one where I am getting a higher grains per inch 11-12 if possible. That is what has me looking at the FMJs.
So I am finally getting down to my last 7-8 arrows from a batch of 36 I bought 7-8 years ago. I really nerded out when I bought them, built them myself, and they were really nice and heavy and shot great. Gold Tip Kinetics, weighted inserts, 4 fletch, tipped with QAD Exodus 125grn.
I am...
I don't really associate Kimber with the radicalized areas of the gun industry. Most range commandos probably think Kimber is a bunch of FUDs with their antique pistols and hunting rifles. I think if he was really interested in finding meaningful compromise his platform would look a little...
I question whether I was to even get into this, but here goes.
Some of my personal stance/background on the topic in general:
- I have had direct experience with militarized civilians with extremist stances on both sides. When I say this, I mean that I have personally directed military...
For some upland hunting I think you can get away with shooting less....Pheasants in particular. IMO, if you are a waterfowler you need to be a better wing shooter based on the variety of shot scenarios you could see at any moment.
