    Question for Lefties

    Please consider the safety of the action if you are going to have the boy shoot a right handed bolt rifle left handed. In the event of a primer or case failure, where are the hot gases going to vent? You want to be sure it's not right in his face. This happened to me when shooting a military...

    My Hunting Partner Gone but Not Forgotten

    So sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad last year and hunting seasons are much harder now, but when it gets me down, I try to think about happy memories from past hunting seasons. Glad you will have yet another great memory to pass along.

    My Hunting Partner Gone but Not Forgotten

    I used a ground blind to get my kids started. They could bring toys or a book and not have to be "totally still". They still bring up and laugh about some of the funny things that happened.

    Looking for a new hunting bullet... Which one!??!

    Ok, thanks. I was trying to think of a "store" with those initials. I am a fan of the trophy bonded tip and the terminal ascent, just can't find them. Got my deer this year with the short lived edge tlr.

    My first 3 shots of the year - archery range

    Treat you clothes (especially boots, socks, and pants) with permethrin prior to hunting

    Help me pick a cartridge

    I have the same rifle in lefty action. First couple of 140 grain loads I tried couldn't put 2 shots out of a group on a pie plate at 100 yards. Very frustrating. Switched to 130 grain loads and I can hit a golf ball at 100 yards.
