      22lr barrel length

      Years ago while squirrel hunting, I sighted three 22's in at 50 yds using same box of ammo. Guns were...a 27 in. Remington, a 22 in. Mossberg and 18 in. Browning. Then shot each across about 100 yards of water from a rest about 15 feet above the water. The target was a bleach bottle about one...

      Thoughts or Tips for Land between the Lakes

      Make sure you go to the LBL visitor center to get a token that opens the gate so you can drive through the Elk and Buffalo Plains. Buffalo will come right up to the car. Look for a whole bunch of wild turkeys in there too. Be careful as the speed limit in there used to be 45 mph. Didn't really...

      Poacher Avoids Jail - What's this telling me?

      I think he should have gotten enough jail time to make it, at least, uncomfortable for him while there and embarrassing for him trying to make excuses for where he had been. Maybe 10 days to think about his lack of respect for the law. This would probably use up any vacation time he had left for...

      I hate poachers!

      All honest outdoorsmen should carry a small camera with a long zoom capability to document this kind of disgraceful activity. Scum bag no doubt shot from the road/vehicle, probably used an illegal caliber and may not have intended to return for the kill. Just have no use for those folks. Two...

      Coyote Down

      Not sure if the population is up currently as a friend of mine shot 13 over the winter 5 years ago just west of Zionsville.

      Best 22 for wife

      Taurus makes their PT22 which has the tip-up barrel like the Baretta. The grip is big enough to land your pinky too. There are segmented rounds in 22 LR available from Winchester and CCI that I know of, maybe more from other manufacturers. If 22 WMR is the final choice, Winchester has a new...

      Home Break In

      Years ago I walked out to go to class one morning to find my car on blocks under the carport next to our detached garage. All four wheels were gone. I felt terribly violated even though my personal space hadn't been compromised. Keep your chin up as they say. Pickup a security cam while...

      Man shot and killed during Youth hunt

      Some DNR regulations are put in place to protect sportsman from each other and themselves. Any outdoorsman who does not observe all rules of the sport has no business introducing a youngster to a sport, (even fishing) especially when deadly weapons are involved. Parents of the youngster...

      Need help on decision

      Welcome...You just missed a gun show at the Tippecanoe Co. Fairgrounds last weekend. Make trip to Applied Ballistics Systems on southside of Lafayette, north of Walmart a few blocks. All their info is on their website. They have a range (15 lanes) and renting guns at $8 per hour when I was...

      Unbelievable/trespassers

      Ya gotta watch blow hard relatives Dad, brother and I went to rabbit/quail hunt and then cut fire wood on our 110 acre farm which was 100 miles from our home. Parked the car, got gear on and started down the lane past the barn and found a truck parked/hidden behind it. Heard a beagle bawlin' on...

      New addition - Ruger SR9c

      I hung a Laserlyte V3 sight under mine. Still fits in the Cordura holster. Always fun to shoot.

      SR22

      Love mine too, except it shoots 2" low and 1" left with a firm grip and near dead-on when I limp wrist it. I'm right handed of course. Anyone else have the same issue? My SR9C has always been perfect with a firm grip.

      AAR: Eagle Creek Pistol Range

      Have driven past on the interstate lots of times. Will make it a point to tryout the range soon. Thanks for the summary of a good experience.

      What kind of gun should I get

      Lots of good advise here already. Comfort and fit are important. Handle them all. Go to a range and rent some. Better to spend $10 to find out you don't like to fire it. Revolvers are great for beginner train and practice with due to their simplicity and visibility of functional components...

      20ga Home Defense Ammo

      Ditto, the lighter loads with #3 (.25 dia) of #4 (.24 dia) for home defense. Be sure to stress the fact that these rounds are easily capable of going right through an interior sheetrock wall so attention must be paid to what is beyond the target. A short 18-1/2" barrel to open up the close range...

      SR9c

      No problems with mine. Easy to shoot. Girlfriend thinks it's pretty.

      How do I know if it's a slug barrel?

      The dime test might work for a 12 ga. but not a 20 ga.

      Gander Mountain Experience

      Just traded a Walther SP22M1 on a Ruger SR22 they had in their current fall ad. They base the trade-in value 50-60% of their retail price (high) for same weapon. So they gave me (cash) what I paid for the Walther NIB at gun show 4 yrs ago and took $20 of the SR22 sale price too, which was as...

      Once a year tradition, Grandpa's Guns

      Great sporting traditions are few and far between these days it seems. A shooting tradition is special to me as I have my Grandpa's Lefever 16 ga. side by side. The original breakdown case is rough and not used anymore. It was the first shotgun my son shot the summer he turned 14. Wish I...
