    Cabelas Alaskan Guide Tents

    Suggestions for Western WA Elk Hunt

    Okay, I've decided to try hunting again after stopping back in 1972. I've kept shooting, just stopped hunting. I'd like to hunt WA west side elk in 2013 to give myself time to get back in shape. I'm a disabled Vet and don't walk as well as I used to, but I do get a low priced hunting...

    Where in the US do you live?

    Western Washington far enough from the state capitol to be rural, but close enough that we can get there for shopping.

    A place near Olympia WA?

    I'm looking for a range near Olympia, WA. Normally I shoot at JBLM Range 15, but it's only a 300 yard range. Would like to find someplace with a longer range. Thanks, REE

    86-year-old veteran sniper - 1,000 yard head shots

    Just spotted this video. Great tribute to a still accurate shooter. I can only hope to able to shoot that well at 86. Thanks for posting that video.

    Searching...

    SCSM, Haven't had them do any work for me, but have heard great things about Contact - R Bros Rifles . He's open by appointment only so give him a call if interested. He's out near Elma. Looks like installing a muzzle brake, including the brake is $180.

    Just curious about age

    65 pushing 20, at least in my mind. I look in the mirror and wonder who that old guy is looking at me. Actually, looking at 66 in October.

    VETS of LRH

    Gary, Welcome home, right back at ya, Bro. I went back to Nam in 1970 and landed at CRB. There was a freakin ice cream truck there. I couldn't believe I was back in the Nam. Didn't take long to remember where I was when I got hooked back up with the 173d and then C/75th. I guess when they...

    Another Newbie

    Hi folks, Just checking in from Western Washington. Just getting back into shooting after a 10 year or so break. I've done some long range shooting way back in my younger days with a Winchester Model 70 in 30-06. Nothing fancy, just a hunting rifle and military match grade ammo. Most of...
