I live in western Arizona. I put on my yellow shooting glasses one afternoon and just about went blind!

For me, the results were amazing. I'm wondering what else I can upgrade in my body now ☺. Best regards

A note for us older guys. I've roamed this planet for 72 years and like most of us more experienced guys ☺, I eventually needed cataract surgery after wearing contact lenses for decades. I asked my cataract surgeon for the best possible long-distance vision in my right eye (strong eye) and the...

Thank you, Sir.

An important consideration when it comes to selection of scope magnification is target size. My favorite 1,000 yd target is a full-size, steel coyote. A hit anywhere on the target is good... for me. A friend with whom I shoot brings water filled coffee creamer bottles... for 1,000 yd targets. I...

My recommendation is Arken scopes. They won't break the bank and they are good. I have six Arken scopes on various set-ups... including four rifles that hit consistently at 1,000 yards... and beyond (308 Win x 2, 6.5 CM, 243 Win). They track, they take abuse, and they have a very good warranty...

Mike, Do you currently have a scope and mounts for the rifle mentioned? If you do, use them to start. See how far your current equipment will take you. When you start to struggle, you'll know it's time to up grade to something else... more magnification, MOA rail, etc. Get real good at 400...

Years ago... I was struggling to find a reasonable maximum chamber pressure for my 357 Herrett. I was using a Super 14 Thompson Contender and since it was (is) a Wildcat cartridge, there is no SAAMI pressure standard. You'll find 35,000 psi bandied about. The parent cartridge for the 357 Herrett...

A few things that I've learned regarding tracking are: 1. Determine the direction of travel and then follow the path of least resistance (keep the size of the animal in mind). 2. Get low to the ground to read tracks because looking straight down is 2 dimensional while viewing from the side...

Years ago, I was fortunate to attend a jungle tracking course conducted by the Phillipine Army (Scout Regiment). Obviously, it was a military course focused on tracking humans but almost everything that I learned enhanced my game tracking skills. A few years after that, while TDY at Ft...

Disregard. Double tap.

I grew up in rural Indiana during the 1960s. We fished and hunted; had dogs, and guns, ran troutlines and trap lines, skinned muskrats, minks, and catfish. When I was a kid, one of the the old guys once told me that a real man always carries a knife. He didn't say what kind of knife... just a...

Vince...thanks for the reply with real-world data. I do measure every load on my 221 Fireball (RCBS Chargemaster) and that is a great suggestion for this round. I'm of the mind that there may have been some folks who experienced something, somewhere, sometime and a rumor started about Blue Dot...
