    First time hunting, got my buck but unsure about ammo for next year...

    This, combo of gut shot and flank is never going to bleed much with any bullet unless you get lucky and clip the artery in the flank.

    Dead predator pics

    110 VMAX out of my .300 black off the back deck, called in with a mix of howls on the FoxPro.

    Question about modern manufacturing of firearms vs old

    Modern firearms as a whole are far superior to older firearms due to advances in metallurgy, materials, manufacturing process etc. However, most of your “big name” brands have reduced quality control to drop price points. You can still buy handmade firearms (crafted with modern...

    Hunting property and what to look for?

    I work in the land business, not hunting/recreational but know the world of land very well. I would look at this land as a place to build a cabin/house and an investment. Look for land in the path of growth that is not covered in FEMA floodplain that can generate some form of income (lease...

    WE WON!

    Big victory! I did my best from Georgia, I called 8 friends who live in CO (none of them hunters) and was able to convince all 8 of them to vote no. Great to see hunters from all over the world work together to shut this down.

    Tikka experts, weigh in please…

    Have you compared it to another lightweight magnum? I have had multiple friends buy lightweight magnums and complain they don’t shoot, but it’s because lightweight magnums are no fun to shoot and most induce a lot of flinch.

    DIY barrel cut & crown?

    I don't think it will cause any issues, however, I would go ahead and get a gunsmith to do it so that you can have it threaded to allow the use of a silencer.

    300 Blackout hunting round?

    This, I use the 110s for coyotes but haven’t been happy with their performance on deer. Big fan of the 110 Barnes.

    Gun storage ideas for a new vault?

    Look on Craigslist for a retail store going out of business and buy their old slat wall. It works great, and will cost 1/10th what the tactical stuff will.

    Feedback on Whitetail Shot

    Based on photos and added angle from a tree stand it looks like you maybe clipped a lung, but primarily a gut shot. I bet he will be dead in the AM if the coyotes don’t get to him sooner.

    Kazakhstan Ibex 2024 - Mountains put my ego in place

    Looks like an amazing hunt! If you don’t mind me asking, what is a ballpark price point for an Ibex hunt in Kazakhstan?

    Which side arm makes most sence

    Use the funds that would be spent on a new gun to buy 2,000 rounds of 9mm and practice a ton. Far more useful.

    Quiet bino harness for bow hunting

    So many good options, but I have been very happy with the Eberlestock.

    Realistic Shooting Distances

    Really depends on my stability/position. I have made cold bore/1st round impacts multiple times on targets smaller than deer out to 1,000 yards, but I think anything past 500 on a live target would require perfect conditions for me to feel comfortable taking. A lot can happen in 500 yards...

    How do you guys keep track of brass firings?

    I buy brass 300 at a time, I shoot through all 300 then start over. I have tubs in the shop labeled (6CM - once fired, 6CM - clean, 6CM - ready to load). By cycling through a full batch of brass it makes it pretty easy to keep track.

    Why Attend a Long-Range Shooting Course?

    They can be good, but once someone has a basic understanding of how to zero, dope, use a bag etc. their time/money is typically better spent dry firing and shooting matches.
