      Private outdoor shooting range

      I am pretty sure I ran across this before, but I have done multiple searches of the forums and can't find it. So, if I wanted to have a private shooting range on my own rural property in Indiana, what is the minimum acreage I would need? Also, what other requirements would have to be met...

      My Eotech has arrived!

      I just opened and couch tested my new Eotech 557.G23FTS. It is sweet. Will be mounting it to one of my new Colt LE6920 rifles as soon as the grandkids leave.

I would...

      9mm vs. .40 caliber recoil

      My son is currently in the market for a handgun to be used for home defense. He is a big guy like myself so he could likely shoot about anything without having to worry about recoil. However his wife is petite and he wonders whether she would be able to comfortably shoot a .40 caliber ACP. The...

      Ear protection

      What do you use for ear protection when at the range? Is is best to just keep it simple and buy a pair of ear muffs, or are the electronic ear muffs worth while? Thanks in advance.
