      I Need to Get a Grip!

      I picked up a Kershaw Knockout (Knockout |* Kershaw Knives) at my local pawn shop last week. It was in nearly pristine condition and I got a pretty good deal on it. I like almost everything about the knife, except how gosh darn slick the scales are. The scales are painted 6061-T6 aluminum and...

      WTB: Nickel Phoenix HP22A

      I'm looking to pick up another Phoenix. I already have one, so I know they're not the Rolls Royce of semi-auto 22 pistols, but I'd like to get another one anyway. I'm hoping to find one fairly close to Bloomington, Spencer, or Martinsville (no point in driving 100 miles for a cheap pistol). I...

      Compound Miter Saw Suggestions <$150

      My sister borrowed, then broke my old 10" Craftsman compound miter saw with laser. She insists on buying me a new one, so I thought I'd do a little checking around to see if there might be something better in the same price range. It looks like the current version of mine runs about $110 on...

      AAR: On Target Firearms Training Practical Concealed Carry 1

      First of all, I want to say a huge THANK YOU to Steve Griffin and Chris Campbell for offering this class. It was my first pistol training course of any type. For a great play-by-play review of the class please check out the excellent AAR written by Jackson. This class was the epitome of...

      I'll never carry a copy of my LTCH again!

      I lost my wallet Friday afternoon and did not realize it was missing until Saturday morning. I can be absent minded and frequently misplace things, so it's not uncommon for my wallet to go missing for a day or two. I got a call from the fraud department at my credit union Monday morning...

      Morgan County Sportsmen, I need help (free venison for the needy)

      A farmer friend of mine in Morgan County has asked me to help with his deer problem. He was a little late getting on the depredation tags, but he finally got them. I have until September 15 to fill his tags. I am the only shooter on the them (so no, you can't go hunting with me). I've talked...

      LGS has a Mini-14 for $740. Is it a good buy?

      I called my local guy yesterday for a price check on some cheap plinking pistols. As we're getting ready to get off the phone I ask him if he's holding a pile of AR's in the back room. He chuckles and says, "No, but I have something else you might be interested in." Apparently, some guy...

      Friendly Postal Worker Feeding the Dogs

      I was browsing the CMP forums this morning and found this: http://youtu.be/o7KGXULDNSk I guess the mailman did not realize the guy had a security camera running. Fortunately the dogs only destroyed the box before being distracted by a squirrel and the guy arrived home before they got to his...

      School me on depredation permits

      A farmer friend of mine has finally had enough. He wants to get depredation permits next year. He started shelling corn last week and says this is the worst deer damage he's ever had. I don't know his total acreage, but I'd estimate well over 100 acres. Since he's already started harvesting his...

      How does 14C28N compare?

      I love almost everything about my Kershaw Skyline. It feels like an extension of my hand. It is slim in the pocket. It takes a great edge, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to hold it as long as I would like. I'm contemplating the s30v Skyline on bladeforum, but I'm not sure it would be worth...

      Martinsville Sportman's Conservation Club Martinsville, IN - Philagothon

      I've just started reloading and had some rounds for my wife's 45 XD compact to test. I also wanted to try some new prospective hollow points through my Savage MkII BV. I had to make it a quick trip because I had other things to do as well. I loaded my gear in the car: I decided to stop for...

      Excessive tumbling dust

      I recently tumbled close to 1000 pieces of 45ACP (~60:40 large:small primers). I used walnut shell media. The small primer cases look great. The large primer cases all have excessive dust in them. I'm having to use a pick to clean every single one. I randomly weighed the dust in one and found it...

      Are Morgan County Deer Sick?

      A buddy at work has a farm on highway 44 east of Martinsville. Over the weekend he found the carcass of an 8 point buck near the mouth of a natural spring on his property. He did not find any bullet holes or arrows. He says it looks like it's been there for a couple weeks, so I'm not sure of...

      PSA $49.99 Stripped Lowers ARE BACK!!!

      I know some of you have been waiting and wondering if this deal would ever come around again. I just got the email and wanted to share. There doesn't seem to be the pictogram options that they had before, but heck it's 50 bucks for a stripped lower. Order yours before they're gone. ATI Omni...

      Need Powder Suggestions

      I'm trying to find a powder that will work well for 9mm and 45ACP. I plan on loading 147grn LRN for the 9 and 230grn LRN for the 45. I've misplaced my Lyman handgun manual which listed several loads for cast bullets and my Speer manual does not list any loads for cast bullets. I checked some...
