    GBB (GROUND BLIND BUILD)

    Was able to (forced) to spend some more time in a ground blind last season. Not my preferred method as I like to be in the open spaces, but when freezing rain and high winds come to call, I'm hard pressed to want to stay outdoors.....believe me, I tried. Had a small single man blind last year...

    Evans Rod & Gun Club Centerfire Shoot

    Afternoon all. I've been asked to step up and sort of take over / publicize this event starting this season. We've had this event for some time already but only in it's 250 yard target variant. We've decided to open it up with a 100 yard option so that it may appeal to a wider range of...

    Group Buy? (MagnetoSpeed V3 Mount Kit – "MagnoMount")

    Putting this out there to anyone with potential interest. I stumbled upon this company (G-Parts) on another site. I've seen various iterations of a standoff mount from other manufacturers and they are relatively spendy compared to what this company is asking. I like the kit they offer because is...

    Arken EP 5 5-25 x 55 Scope Review

    Have been buying Vortex exclusively for years now. They've always fit the bil for my needs. Only had one small issue with one. As expected, service was spot on. Was in the market a year or so ago and almost tried something new. Think it was an Athlon. Decided to stick with Vortex and bought a...

    Precision scale VS. RCBS Chargemaster Lite

    Slowly been refining my reloading game without making too many changes all at once. Been using my RCBS Chargemaster Lite for 18-24 months now. Always wondered just how accurate it really is. Someone on another forum uses this scale from US Solid. For the asking price I decided to see what is...

    F/S Boyd's At-One Rifle Stock ($150.00)

    Recently went a different direction on my stock setup for my Savage Model 12 bolt gun. Decided I like the thumbhole version a little better. I bought this about 4-5 years ago and only used it at the range a few times. Couple small nicks on the left side. Fully adjustable comb height and LOP. I...

    Collapsable Blast Deflectors (Muzzle Brakes)

    With the growing popularity of muzzle brakes, beyond the associated decibel level, the side and rearward gas force is something that comes along with them. Especially for those who use them on bench rests in close proximity to others. If you've ever been around one without some sort of...

    Hochul: NY to give health care workers bonuses up to $3K as 'a sign of our gratitude'

    I love how this tea bag licker just decides to reallocate my tax dollars and face it to the private sector health care workers. Anyone else bust ass through the scamdemic besides health care workers? Maybe if the dumb whore didn't force jabs on them there'd still be plenty of help in Healthcare...

    This is the most reliable sled I've ever owned. Never left me stranded. Starts in 3 pulls max. I'd have to take off my shoes to count how many times this thing got me laid. I'm the second owner and have owned this sled for probably close to 15 years. These were known to pull like a freight...

    Bringing back Trap & Skeet

    With recent club elections taking place we're looking to reinvigorate our once busy Skeet and Trap ranges. Running a promotion as per the attached flyer below. I shot my 3rd ever round of trap last night and have to admit I enjoy it. Planning on making it more a part of my shooting regimen...

    Neck brushing

    I'm looking for your feedback / experience on neck brushing. As a newb reloader I decided to brush my necks prior to seating. I used my hornady triple case prep center because it has a spot for a brush. Simply assumed a circular rotating, yet repeated motion, was how it was done. Oxidation...

    Deer Tag Explanation

    Hoping for a little guidance from someone in the know. This came in the mail today, addressed to my son. Based on what I see it looks like a "golden ticket" tag for doe or buck, region 9W, any season. A related question. Are youth doe tags transferable to anyone? I'm not so sure my son will...

    Lapua brass losing neck tension?

    Experiencing something new recently. Seems like my Lapua brass in 6mm Creed has "lost" neck tension while seating. Anyone who reloads is familiar with the resistance on the press when seating. Recently, that resistance is VERY light and almost undiscernable. These cases have maybe 6-7 loadings...

    250 Rifle League (ER&GC)

    For those new to the site, and others that I've mentioned to previously, our summer 250 yard Rifle League is up and running again. With some of the older shooters falling off, and the understandable lack of supplies these days, our attendance has waned from years past. I'm hoping to generate...

    F/S 2003 Mustang GT Twin Turbo

    Just in case someone on a gun forum needs transportation to the range. I bought this car around 2014 from a decent guy on a local car forum who I ended up getting to know pretty well.

    Budget Reloading Kits

    Standing over the annealing machine (taking in spent propane fumes) a lightning bolt struck me. Costs of ALL gun related stuff are a fortune these days, even if you can find it. What if someone can't afford 1,000 primers, 50 bullets, or a box of cases. You still want to shoot but just can't drop...

    .338 "Thunder Sausage" Thread

    Thought maybe this might be a good place to start posting on "larger" caliber rifles. While many aspects of shooting remain the same, I think some are exclusive to larger calibers, especially as it applies to reloading, which seemed to make sense to somewhat separate. I thought my .300 WinMag...
