    Suppressors

    From my understanding, the increase tends to be about 50fps for current generation suppressors.

    Glock Model 42 ???

    There's truth to that statement. A single stack 9x19 would be a great option. Especially in a Glock. Gotta say, I love Glock. My G19 RTF2 has served me quite well for the past few years. If you can get your hands on a G43 it might be nice to see which fits her hands better. I don't...

    Funny Hunter Quotes/Lingo

    Those types of shows are IMO as much a hunting show as "Survivor" is a show about how to survive in the wilderness.......... Honestly, I'd rather watch 30 minutes of blaring static than Drury Outdoors or any competitive hunting shows. Hell, I'd probably rather watch 30 minutes of Sierra Club...

    Funny Hunter Quotes/Lingo

    I remember in one of the Eastman videos Mike talked about a "Trash Factor" Deer. One with a Frame that would Score into the B&C Books, but had enough extra points that it wouldn't net Book; but didn't have enough extras to make the book as a Non-Typical. Seems like a pretty degrading title for...

    Can't dial in new rifle

    I'm still curious on this as well... This absolutely could be a scope issue.

    Rimfire prarriedogs

    Thanks for Staying the pitchforks for now... I cannot think of many times that I've had my hands on a prairie dog; but, I have had to shake a few off of my arrows... Oh, it's such a satisfying sound when you thump a big fat p-dog with a blunt

    Rimfire prarriedogs

    Next time I'm out there I'll have to take a tape and measure some dead ones... I seem to remember them being bigger than 13"... Could be my memory, after all I have a "Fisherman's memory":D (hope this makes sense...). All I know for sure is that they are big prairie dogs. Hopefully I have a...

    Slap On The Wrist

    3 were fined. See the second to last paragraph. "In addition, three of Loncarich's clients were issued Lacey Act violation notices, paying a total of $13,100 in fines."

    Slap On The Wrist

    I wonder if there's any active man eating Lions in Africa, or Tigers or Leopards in India. It only seems fitting that he should be placed in a cage for a week, shot in the foot and released near a Man Eating Big Cat. Let him truly understand what all those cats endured.......... 36 Mo's...

    270wsm or 300 win mag for elk ?

    If the price is right, Jump on it. One cannot have too many hunting rifles. Is a .300WM needed for Elk? Um... No. The .270WSM will do fine. A well built 140Gr or 150Gr Slug at a not to excessive velocity and you are good. There's not many critters on this continent that would truly NEED...

    hunting solo

    My biggest Mule Deer and Elk that I've taken to date were both solo hunts. My brother was supposed to go with me on this hunt but a last minute injury meant I was hunting alone... I ended up with a Tuesday off during the middle of rifle season, and wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to...

    Can't dial in new rifle

    First thing I'd try is swapping the front and rear mount. If that doesn't work. Shimming either ring will help. Shim the bottom of the rear ring and the top of the front ring. I spent 3 years working for a reputable sporting goods retailer, and have seen about everything. Just going to...

    Rimfire prarriedogs

    I have used both a .17HMR and a .22LR for Prairie dogs. For the most part, the .17 Stays home. I shoot CCI QuickShocks out of the .22lr and my box stock Ruger 10/22 will keep them to about .75" at 75yds. I find the Quickshocks to be just as lethal as the .17 at 100. Hits are certainly not...

    9MM snake shot

    I ran a few through an HK 45 a few years back. Not sure if it's just an H&K thing, but the .45ACP snake shot cycled fine in that pistol. Had a few 17" Circle targets. Shot one at 5yds with that snake shot and there were pellets everywhere including off the target. I believe 3 rounds went...

    Bird Hunting

    Our first Bird dog had no sense for retrieving... If the bird was stone dead when it hit the ground, she'd completely ignore it. If the bird had even a single gasp left, she'd rip it to bits until the bird stopped moving. We had many a sharptail that we couldn't eat after Heidi finished. It...

    Weatherby Vangaurd .300 WBY Mag (Long Range?)

    I think you just answered your own question... If you prefer to stick with a lighter recoiling rifle, there's nothing wrong with your .270. 2 quick questions. 1. Why do you limit your shots to 300yds with your .270? 2. What sort of ranges are you wanting to shoot at? Have there been many...

    Ammunition advice

    Just going to throw this out there... If you truly want to be prepared for any situation, more important that shooting a specific ammo... Find a reputable instructor in your area and get some training with your carbines. Make 100% sure that the ammo you choose functions well in the mags you...

    Bird Hunting

    When my parents trained up their French Brit, we worked with a Hun Wing and a Sharptail wing on a cheap flyrod with some 40lb mono... We would spend 20-30 mins 2x or so a week during the summer training the dog with the wing. Wing training was really effective. One good way to help preserve...
