Shot lots of squirrels with a shotgun where most of the shots were the result of walking very slow and quietly. Catch them on the ground if you did good and usually they were an easy shot. I have...

I saw a used gun with one and they look impressive so I was a little excited that I might have found a steal for a nice gun at a good price and best of all it was left handed. Not many used left...

First I think you need to read everything you can about training. Then I would not even consider a collar until the dog is 6 or 7 months old. I found that if you do a good job before they are 6 or 7...

My luck with waiting until a dog was 12 months old to get into serious training was not a good one and I will never do it again. Pro trainers for trials pretty much let a dog go for up to a year and...

I really want to get a new gun and after a long evaluation I am stuck on the 7mm Rem Mag. I have a 243, a 7mm Rem Mag and a 300 Wtyby. The 243 dropped every deer I shot right in their tracks. I only...

RE: Help a lefty

I saw that Savage has a safety that allows you to leave it on while you unload so I guess my only issue is the clip. I think if I go for the 7mm wsm it uses a clip. If I am going to change to a...

RE: What would you choose

I like the 7mm Rem Mag because I already have one so I would be able to use the same ammo in the new gun as well as the older one so my son can use it. I considered the 7mm WSM but there does not...

I am not sure why but I always like a combination of options that are not available. Being left handed makes this more likely but at this moment I cannot find a gun that meets all my desires so if...

RE: 308 or 300 win mag

It is pretty interesting how some of these comparisons go to the extent that one is good the other is no good. The 308 has won many long range competitions and is often touted as being very accurate....

RE: .270? A versatile do everything gun?

I think you will be happy with the 243. I used it for many years for deer and it pretty much stopped them on the spot. I had one that went 10 feet but the rest dropped where they were hit. I cannot...
