In your opinion, how important is a scope that has hold over marks as part of the retical? I have a scope that has adjustable turrets but I also see some COFs with restrictions on making adjustments other than objective.
Thanks for the insight so far. I am somewhere between a hobbiest and an enthusiast. Meaning to say that I would have good gear to get the job done but not the best of the best. My youngest son is getting into it so we might go down the rabbit hole a bit to purchase a universal setup that can be...
Good day Roksliders,
I wonder if anyone here has entered the realm of competition rifle shooting with .22lr? I recently shot a couple of the NRA light rifle format in both bench and standing positions. It was pretty enjoyable and now I’m looking at continuing these shoots as well as the NRL22...
Many many options out there and some good insight shared already. I'm a high school trap coach, so I have seen just about everything be used. Fit and function are the two most important factors. That is to say, if you absolutely know that you want a dedicated trap gun, then buy one. I suggest...
I think the Joan Bailey books are a good place to start. The Wolters Gun Dog series is pretty good as well. I really think that any dog can be trained. However, the key is the prey drive and the understanding that there will be some inherent abilities a dog breed that isn't normally used for...
I'll second the Range Riders Museum and I'll put a plug in for the Tongue River Winery. Red Rock sports is pretty good for browsing guns and such. I haven't needed to stay there in quite some time but stayed at the Econolodge previously.
I concur with the statements made above. If a guy can dedicate the time to a tension release, first, then a thumb button is a little more forgivable in the woods. I would suggest a HotShot Vapor as a starter in that regard. It is affordable and gives the thumb button feel but forces the tension...
It is my opinion to go with the 280 AI. I like the increased selection of bullets and the forgiving factor of brass (using the parent case and fire form) a little more than the Western. Although I have seen a fair amount of loaded ammo for each, I like the selection of 280 better. I can not...
Looks pretty good and comprehensive. I would drop the puffy pants and add a stocking cap. It has been my experience that wearing my rain gear on those chilly mornings when you aren't doing a lot of hiking helps retain body heat. As for the hat, I sleep cold so it has come in handy for that but...
