Didnt mean to ruffle anyone's feathers here, seems like there's always someone who takes things a little too serious. I OWN a Colt HBAR and have for years, it's probably got 8-9000 rounds through it. It's just that I am sick and tired of the black rifle "tactical" krapp that seems to be al...

Gun shop road trip

This morning my friend and I left Yuma and traveled to Lake Havasu City, AZ, a distance of about 150 miles, to browse some gunshops we heard were there. Found three. Two were not very interesting to us, full of black gun krapp and such. The other one was a real joy, very like the gunshops we remembe...

your rifle

For the last 20 years or so I have harvested a pronghorn with a .50 caliber flintlock Tennessee rifle. Yours should be entirely adequate. Dont get all in a knot about this load vs that load, just be able to hit where you aim and all will be well. Have fun!! :wink:

OT- time to head south

Here in Wyoming, our local hardware store had their annual sidewalk sale on snowblowers a few days ago, which means it's time for us to head south!! We will be offline for about 3 weeks as we slowly meander down to sunny Yuma Arizona for the winter months.
