I have very wide feet, and have tried many different shoe/boot brands over the years. For boots, I've found that Keen products fit best with a nice big toebox, and also come in wide sizes, which most shoe manufacturers seem to have abandoned.. Right now, I'm wearing Targhee II Mid (available...
JohnnyE got it right. As a newbie to the Class 3 world, I was welcomed, learning a great deal about some really interesting guns. And, at the shoot, the I appreciated the experienced people taking time away from their own enjoyment to watch over and coach us through the certification...
I was lucky enough to score a Winchester 52C back almost 20 yrs ago when the CMP cleared out the Army's stock of match .22 rifles. (I wish I had tried to also get a Rem 40X at the same time.) When I got it back then, I bought Redfield International sights for it. At the same time, I also...
...and another outside in front of the Navy Museum at the Washington Navy Yard, where they were originally made.
During summers in college, I worked at the Navy Yard as n engineering intern. I was absolutely fascinated by the history of the Naval Gun Factory which built ALL of the big guns...
Inigoes,
With all due respect, I think the guy with the AR-15 was the zip-line business owner, and the defendant in this case was one of the "yahoos" who had gone onto the property after hours. The business owner used his AR to hold the trespassers until the police got there. Then, if I read...
Here's Washington Gun Law's take on it. He provides a good overall recap of the case, along with a succinct description of the (intentionally) extended timeline:
At least one 2A analyst/lawyer thinks it was a bad move, strategically. I tend to agree. By their own argument, BILLIONS of rounds were sold commercially, so in essence they're making the "common use" argument for us. However, facts won't get in the way of emotion.
In the same way...
As his son grows, others have switched out the Scout's stock for an adult stock. With inherent accuracy and such a short barrel it makes a perfect walk-around squirrel gun.

Ahhh...yes, I remember that thread now that you mention it. I've been using a Jet 2x42 belt grinder, but have been thinking about upgrading to a 2x72 model. I just went back and found that old thread. You son received a beautiful Christmas present that year. Hopefully he'll cherish it...
Thanks so much! I'm thinking that this might become "a thing". A niece who loves to cook is also getting married in October. She would appreciate a nice chef's knife. I've always felt a present which incorporates someone's thought and effort is much nicer than just throwing some $$ at them. That...
The ranges are very short....as John said about 7 yds for pistol to about 15 yds for rifle. Most folks use a red-dot sight on both rifle and pistol to allow quick target acquisition.

According to their website, the Goddard launches are still being held by NARHAMS...
I've done launches in elementary school athletic fields over the years. In this area, you need to limit the size of the engines or you'll never see the rockets again.
If you can make it to one of the MDRA...
Over the last several years, I've gotten into knifemaking. I haven't yet delved into the forging of blades yet, instead buying knife blades, then making handles to create something individualized.
My son's best friend's wedding is coming up in October. For a wedding shower present, I...
