    "Pulling rank" during the Christmas season

    Being a career Air Force man, my dad would sometimes (rarely) use the term "pull rank" for any decision that meant going against the opinion of my mom. Perhaps one of the most well-known examples of a dad pulling rank was in the movie "A Christmas Story" when Ralphie's dad bought him a BB gun...

    Hunting and being hearing impaired

    The guy I hunt with is hearing impaired to the point where he requires hearing aids. While my hearing isn't what it used to be, hunting with him has made me more appreciative of being able to use my hearing when in the woods. While he appears to hear much better with his hearing aids, I've...

    Jack O'Connor's definition of long range shooting

    Something that I enjoy when the wife and I hit the antique stores is looking for old books on hunting and the outdoors. One of the things I enjoy most about them is how they give perspectives on hunter viewpoints and opinions from years past. I found the one in the photo below and can already...

    #$%^$ beavers

    My partner recently put up a game camera where deer have been entering and leaving a pasture. This photo shows all the was left when he went to check it earlier today. No sign of the sapling or the camera. Thankfully, it was one of those cheap, $25 cameras.

    Moen Lifetime Warranty

    Moen is one of those companies that stands by their lifetime warranty. Had a tub spout with a shower diverter that cracked along the side of the opening after 25 years. Called them, sent a couple of photos, and they're sending me a new spout with the diverter. No receipts needed, just my word...

    When a friend asks you to keep receipts

    How would you feel if your hunting partner asks you to keep receipts for hunting-related expenses you agree to share? I've always been the kind of person who just asks others what I owe them without a need to see physical proof of what was spent for something. In this case, we're only talking...

    Rifle and ammo production processes have never been better

    Shot this four-shot, 100-yard group earlier today using a cheap factory rifle and three different factory loads. The rifle is a Savage Axis chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, with one shot each using Winchester 125-grain Deer Season XP, Norma 140-grain Whitetail Hunter, and two shots using Hornady...

    What you learn if you spend enough time hunting wild game

    If you spend enough time in the woods hunting wild game, you realize there are things that you eventually see as truths. It is knowledge from experience that most newcomers will only realize after they too have spent many seasons in search of success. Here's just a few to get a list a going...

    Did you know…

    And yet, we think the type of camo we wear makes a difference. DID YOU KNOW: A whitetail can detect human scent up to a half-mile away thanks to up to 297 million olfactory receptors in its nose (compared to about 5 million in humans). Even more surprising: they can sort out individual smells...

    Marlin Hammer Extension

    How do you guys keep them from working loose? I'm not even sure a little LocTite red will be enough to keep the small set screw from working loose given the beating the extension takes when doing its job. And the screw is so small that I can see it being easy to break off the small Allen Wrench...

    How do you now feel about all those COVID restrictions?

    It's now been well over five years since people were told they had to wear a mask and take a shot. (Granted, that wasn't true for everyone in every situation but you get the point.) How do you feel today about what Americans were put through during those days and months? I sincerely hope my...

    Are suppressors over rated?

    Now I know this thread is going to ruffle a few feathers, but since when was that not a reason to start a discussion. After buying a new rifle with a threaded barrel, I've considered buying a suppressor. However, I just can't see the need for one. First off and perhaps for the main reason, it...

    Chalk one up for the good guys - Public Land Sale Amendment shot down

    Apologies if this news appears under an earlier topic. Excellent video that explains the backstory

    Have you ever seen a frameless glass shower door shatter on its own?

    Had this happen around 2am last night. Scared the wife to death. Glad neither of us were using the shower at the time. The worst of the cleanup is done.

    Useful information you keep saved on your phone

    While eating lunch with the wife today and having our usual small talk, the topic came up of keeping notes and useful information saved on your phone. What led to the discussion is how she keeps her grocery list on paper, which many times leads her to not wanting to stop by the store to pick up...

    Contact Card for use with outdoor activities

    Just like in the career world, networking is an important part of expanding your contact base so you open yourself to more opportunities. Just curious if anyone else carries business cards they had made specifically for sharing with new contacts they make at shooting ranges, gun stores, feed...

    Old vs New Chronograph Technology

    So how does the accuracy of the new Doppler-based chronographs truly compare with that of the earlier models that use a much more simple approach? How would anyone know which models are truly the most accurate when you consider the lack of independent testing against a known standard? Are we to...
