I just destroyed my third automatic watch so I’m only considering solar, hand-winding, or quartz (in that order) right now.
The first was a Rolex no-date Sub that I bought new when I finished the...
Getting training is never wrong. It's easy to get passable results doing something in an unsafe or unsound way, like perfecting a bad golf swing. That works until it doesn't.
Look at these course...
Check the "Find an FFL" feature. Some folks work cheaper than others.

I've heard Dr. Attia on Rogan's podcast. He's an investor in https://mauinuivenison.com/, which harvests axis deer on Maui and sells the meat.
Interesting guy. I especially like that his views...
With this in mind, I'm not sure that I understand the question.
Buy a can and spend the rest on ammo. Test loads until you find one it shoots well, then buy a lifetime supply.

Agreed.
I was at the Tulsa gun show a few weeks back and solid 30-30s were going for $750.
The world has lost its way.

I developed a deep and enduring love for Merle Haggard, Nacho Doritos, and Budweiser under very similar circumstances.

IIRC, that changed during the first Reagan administration.

IIRC, Keith liked adjustable sights on DA revolvers because the sight picture was better.
There are images of a couple of his articles and more pics of Number 5 here:...
Ed McGivern, Elmer Keith, Bill Jordan, and others like them practiced constantly.
When I was on the Oklahoma National Guard pistol team, I met an armorer from the Idaho team who had known Keith....
I was toying with the idea of building a Roland-like pistol, so I got suppressor-height Trijicon sights with a black rear for my Gen5 G19 MOS.

Are we talking NRA Service Rifle where shooters typically use a sling in every position other than standing?

I feel like we’re missing some context here.
The speaker in the video is a former Tier-1 guy with almost superhuman shooting ability and a very realistic understanding of what he and his gear can...
When I was a very young boy, I got to see Bill Jordan run through his standard demo. He was hitting aspirin tablets with wax bullets out of a K-frame S&W at about 15' from the hip at what seemed like...
I'm not saying it's 100%.

I hope you're right, but I think there's more to it.
The revolver market had been in decline for decades before the unrest of the COVID/antifa years created a bunch of new but reluctant gun...
The difficulty of getting an ad-agency job is legendary.
I went to Catholic school so I’m basically Rain Man with spelling and punctuation. After I got out of the Army, I stumbled into a...
I second the experience of buying from Enterprise. Great cars, great prices. The only downside is that they keep trying to sell me additional cars long after the sale.
At the moment, I have 27k...
Happy to help. LMK if you have questions.

The 35 Whelen was very viable for nearly a century with conventional powders and bullets. Traditional data tops out ~2,400 fps with a 250-grain bullet. That's plenty of punch and reach for the...
Agree 100%. Those guys weren't just walking the streets, they were teaching school, selling insurance, pumping gas, building bridges, raising kids, and just generally being part of everyday life....
Seattle and Portland are both ripe for this kind of thing, but the rot in both City Halls is still so deep that a citizen patrol would probably be arrested and charged with hate crimes before they...
I'd treat it like a Mauser. Without bedding, tighten the front action screw farmer tight. Do the same with the rear, then back it out 1/3 to 1/4 turn. If you bed it, then bed the action and the first...
Somebody on the naming committee over there has a sense of humor.
