      10 Quick Tips to Consider when taking New Shooters to the Range

      When I take a new shooter out, I like to set up the targets (paper targets) closer than I would normally do for myself. Maybe only 3 to 5 yards out. It quickly builds their confidence to see shots on paper, as opposed to regularly missing a target that's 7 to 10 yards away. Before the session...

      Henry .22 Lever action jamming shells

      I can't say specifically about a Henry .22 lever-action rifle, but some other .22s that I've come across that have problems with extraction have been because the internals were exceptionally dirty. A good detailed cleaning has usually cleared up problems.

      Need help with colored tannerite explosion

      Never thought about trying that, but powder thrown in the "Festival of Colors" in India came to mind. Found this: How to Make Colored Flour for the Festival of Colors | eHow.com It takes a little time to make, and it flour based, so it might be combustible when airborne. It also looks like...

      For those who say a .22 is not a viable self defense choice

      Granny might not be able to handle anything more powerful than a .22. She might have seriously hurt herself if she had to fire a 12 gauge double barrel shotgun.

      Glock 26. 9mm ammo. Will take G26, G19, and G17 mags. (10rd, 15rd, and 17rd. 33rd mags too.) Relatively small in size, relatively easy to carry. Easy to clean if necessary.

      Gun Brand - Best "resale value name"?

      An easily recognizable name brand can definitely make it easier to sell a firearm. Especially when it comes to selling a firearm to people who aren't firearm aficionados. Benelli and CZ make great shotguns, but it'll probably be easier to find a buyer for a Remington or Mossberg shotgun...

      Recent events reminding me I need to prep - Some tips?

      With an EMP, power grid outage, energy crisis, or natural disaster in which the power might be out for a few weeks or longer, one of the major necessities of modern life that we'll be missing is refrigeration, and you're going to be hungry! So, a decent supply of non-perishable food would be...

      Oh noes! Young/black/white people with guns! (I think I saw a white guy in the vid.) Maybe. I'd have ask what race that person self-identifies with. <sarcasm> Anyways, if the homeowner was really concerned, she should have just called the police, and they would have shown up in...

      NRA window decal?

      Street Thief is a "documentary-style fictional film." Still, I thought the movie was very interesting and very well done with the ideas and possibilities it presents. Street Thief - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Street Thief (2006) - IMDb

      Buying Silver..

      As part of your preps, having some barter material on hand sounds like a good idea. With silver and other precious metals, you can't eat it, you can't drink it, it won't keep you warm at night, and you can't defend your family with it. So, the role silver plays in your preps depends on the...

      How to brighten sights ?

      Sometimes I'll raid my wife's nail polish for a good color to paint up some sights. If you don't like the color or it just doesn't work, it's easy to take off.

      Just take your business elsewhere. Businesses with bad attitudes generally don't last, nor do employees sales people with bad attitudes.

      RG 14. .22lr question

      Cheap guns aren't worth having. It simply isn't worth the risk that they'll fail. The timing was off on this one, and it broke at the top. Luckily, I and the people around me weren't injured. https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/handguns/138234-revolver_exploded_in_my_face.html
