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

    Weatherby Vanguard in 7mmRM I bought at WallyWorld in 2007 Could not find anything it would shoot, factory or handload. Anything heavier than 140gr looked like scatter shot. Best group with 140's was 2.75 MOA. That was the Winchester Ballistic Silvertip's. The Howa 1500 action is as smooth as...

    How far out will you kill an elk by yourself?

If there's no place to hang the meat I won't pull the trigger. A while back I shot a cow at about 4:30 p.m. After I got her all cut up I realized there was no...

    Getting in mountain shape with no mountains around?

    The breathing restriction devices don't work. The only thing they'll do is inhibit your training performance. They'll hurt your preparation, not help you

    TARGET BULLETS ARE NOT HUNTING BULLETS!

    In January I used the 140gr Berger Hybrid Target out of my 6.5prc for the second time on cow elk. Both were POA/POI head shots. The first was squarely between the eyes at 318 and the second was in the eye at 330. Can't argue with that level of accuracy or the confidence you draw from it. That's...
