    Luckiest Shot You Ever Made

    My luckiest shot was about 10yrs ago. I was working in on a bedded bull elk and I only needed another 30 or so yards to start thinking about a shot. The whole thing blew up in my face when a rough grouse blew out of the underbrush. I was seething mad. I look up and the grouse is about 60...

    Whats the worse rifle or gun you ever bought ? I hsve several tied

    I am recalling that my dad bought a Browning B2000 shotgun. You could shoot clays all day long with target loads and it would work perfectly. Loaded for geese with 3" mags and it would be a single shot. We took it out and shot clays with 3" shells and it functioned perfectly. You could even...

    Whats the worse rifle or gun you ever bought ? I hsve several tied

    I must have been lucky. Years ago, I was at a gun show wandering around. I happened to be by a booth where someone was getting a strip tore off for not packing merchandise correctly. The guy doing the tearing was holding up a Rem 788 in 22-250 with a big scratch down the side of the stock...

    Benelli supernova anyone?

    I will say that I went to the store to buy a Winchester SX4 or SXP. I handled a couple different guns in each of the aforementioned models and I just couldn't get a good feel. When I picked up the Supernova it felt like a million bucks. This goes back to my days of trying every hockey stick...

    Benelli supernova anyone?

    I love mine. I have shot target loads, 2 3/4" waterfowl loads, 3" waterfowl and Turkey loads and 3 1/2" waterfowl loads. My gun patterns all of those loads consistently. Of all those loads, the Turkey loads gave me a bloody nose when I was patterning the gun for a Turkey hunt in Alberta...

    SUPER HOGS MAY INVADE THE US FROM CANADA

    The Grey wolf didn't just wander down there. Somebody wanted wolves and decided to transplant some. I went to a talk by a guy who studies wolves in Northern Alberta. He said then when the bison calve the wolves are focused solely on eating the newborn calves. I imagine it is the same with all...

    What is your recoil threshold poll?

    I have never shot one of those "Precision" style rifles. Is that style of stock effective in mitigating recoil or do they just have more mass to mitigate recoil?

    What is your recoil threshold poll?

    I am in Canada and people look at me like I have two heads when I say we should be able to run suppressed. I think the range I belong to would be able to get along with the adjacent landowners better too. I don’t know if it is true but I heard that hunters in Scotland have to run suppressed

    What is your recoil threshold poll?

    Those are some funny signs. My question is what does "Molon Labe" mean?
