    Hunting from the ground with a ghille suit

    I just about died when I read this.. Imagine trying to explain it to the wife or the folks at work.. Lucky the bobcat wasn't feeling romantic too..

    Chronograph

    Before Christmas the lowest price I could find the Labradar for was right here in the Long Range Hunters Store... Just checked and the price hasn't changed.. Just a heads up if your interested..

    Reloading Equipment

    Don't forget.. the chargemaster does more than just drop powder.. You can weigh just about anything that fits in the tray or on the pedestal.. I use mine for weighing bullets, cases, and loaded rounds... atb..

    .375 hh

    Hi all. New Mexico now, Alaska soon!

    Hi Dosh. Thanks for the welcome and all the best on your move to Nthn AZ.. I love that area. I've have camped at one of those lakes outside Springerville a few times. In fact I think it's Springerville where I found a heck of a great sporting goods store with tons of gun stuff. Residents...

    Hi all. New Mexico now, Alaska soon!

    Hello folks. Tortoise here in NM where a 100 yd shot is considered close. Love your forum... I've been musing around it off and on for a few years now. Funny how many times a search on Google or Yahoo has routed me here. You've done a great job on it and there's a ton of great information...
