      Field archery event at Anne Arundel Archers

      In case anyone is interested, Anne Arundel Archers is holding a field archery shoot at the club on 16 July. Here's a quick link: https://www.annearundelarchers.org/calendar-1/2023/7/16/dog-days-of-summer-amp-club-championship I believe the fees are $10 for members and $15 for non-members. If...

      Making up for lost time

      There hasn't been enough archery posting here, so I'm gonna fix that for a second! I took almost 2 years off from shooting bows, and nearly forgot how much fun it is. I recently picked it back up and ended up compensating for the missed time. In the space of 2 weeks I bought 2 new sets of limbs...

      Buying a shotgun in PA?

      I'm certain this is out there somewhere, but I'm having some trouble finding a definitive answer (I should probably call the MSP licensing division....) but I'll start here. I'm looking at a SxS for sale in PA? Can I purchase it there (at an FFL to handle the transfer) and simply drive home, or...

      Sporting clays coach/lessons in the AA Co area?

      I'm thinking about taking a few lessons to get a better foundation of fundamentals. I'm having trouble breaking some of my rifle shooting habits when shooting clays. I know that Prince Georges County Trap and Skeet has some lessons, which is fine with me. But I thought I'd ask about other...

      Shops in MD with good selection of SxS's?

      Like the title says. I'm curious if anyone has leads on any place within an hour or so of AA Co that has a decent inventory of side-by-sides. I believe the shop at Delmarva does - at least they did the last time I was out there. Any others?

      New flintlock complete

      I started this just about a year ago from a Dunlap Woodcrafts Isaac Haines kit. I put a lot of thought and tried several rifles to get familiar with their characteristics before deciding on the basics. It's a .50 with a 38" Rice barrel, Chambers Deluxe Siler lock and Davis triggers. It weighs in...

      Ruger No. 1 Straight walk cartridge options

      Ruger No. 1 Straight wall cartridge options I have always loved single shot rifles, especially the falling block designs. I've got a Sharps and 2 Stevens, and I used to have a nice Ruger No. 1 in .308win that I sold years ago. I miss that rifle and feel a growing need for another. With straight...

      PSA: Wobble Trap down at AGC

      Meant to post this yesterday, but I forgot. It might even be fixed by now, but as if yesterday morning the wobble trap machine at AGC in Marriottsville was down. Apparently on Tues sometime it started randomly throwing clays all by itself. They hadn't had time to post a notice on the website...

      Local stock-working recommendations?

      I initially posted this in the shotgun forum, but with no responses in over a week, I think I put it in the wrong place. I have a new (to me) Dickinson Estate SxS. I love almost everything about it, except the very flat checkering in the grip. Deeper, sharper points would both look better and...

      Double duty electronic ear plug recommendations?

      I'm starting to seriously consider a set of noise canceling/suppressing ear plugs, but both for shooting and playing music. I've never liked ear muffs, as I always wear glasses of some kind which rarely feel comfortable with muffs. Also, I do some cowboy action shooting and otherwise just enjoy...

      Local stock checkering services?

      I have a new (to me) Dickinson Estate SxS. I love almost everything about it, except the very flat checkering in the grip. Deeper, sharper points would both look better and give better grip. While I have modest confidence in could deepen it myself with the right tool, I think it might the...

      Shotgun "pro shop" in mid-MD?

      So, I've made the mistake of starting to research side by sides, and now I realize I have only the most rudimentary idea what dimensions of a shotgun should fit me. I'm pretty average in size - juat under 6' tall with longish arms. But before I go buying something vintage, I figure I should at...

      LC Smith or ?????

      A while back I started looking for a decent SxS - mostly for informal trap/clays (a few hundred rounds a year). I kinda got distracted, but I'm looking around again for one. I don't want a pump, auto, or O/U. I've had them all and don't care for them. I guess I'm strictly an old-school guy. The...

      Removing a scope ramp from a 1911 slide

      I just got a Springfield 1911 that had been tricked out for bulls eye, including with a scope ramp. The two screws came out easy enough, but the ramp is still stuck fast. I have no idea what else might be holding it on. I presume some form of epoxy, JB Weld, or something similar. I've tried a...

      Deer processing recommendations around AACO?

      I have access to a nice spot to hunt deer for the first time in a long time. I live near Fort Meade, and I'd love a good recommendation for a processor around here. I've found a couple - Austin in Hanover is especially convenient, so I wondered if anyone had used them or has other suggestions...

      New BPCR from CPA Rifles

      Last week, I took possession of a CPA Silhouette rifle. It's a .40-65 cal and top of the line. Badger half-octagon barrel, MVA Soule sight with Hadley eye cup. It originally belonged to a late family friend and shooting buddy of my father's. Dad received it from the man's estate after his death...

      Something fun followed me home today

      I made a trade with fellow member here, C&RTactical, for a nice little .40 flinter. 34" swamped A-profile barrel. Very handy size and weight. Can't wait to shoot it. Here are a couple pics, including with its new big brother, my .50 Tennessee mountain rifle. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

      Anyone recognize this sight ramp?

      have a Buckmark Hunter that originally came with a red dot, and I'm converting it back to iron sights. It looks like this was an after market ramp, as it doesn't have any of the holes that would take the normal pins for attaching the standard Buckmark rear sight assembly. Does anyone recognize...

      Need a good trad bow string maker?

      I got one! There are lots of them, of course. But if you'd like a good Flemish twist string for your recurve or longbow, we've got a great local guy here in MD. Jim Raines has made me several, both B50 and D97. He offers many color choices for both the bundles and serving. Well-made and...

      Looking for a Bear Super Kodiak

      I'm not sure if I'm out of line posting this here, but there didn't seem to be a spot in the classifieds for "Wanted" (the drop-down only let me pick between "for sale" or "for trade"), so please move or delete if needed. I'm looking for a Bear Super Kodiak recurve bow. Right handed, 35#...
