    Excellent shooting! I taught my daughter to shoot early in high school using a old single shot 22 Remington bolt action. Now in college, she has since graduated to a Henry Golden Boy. She also invited several of her friends along. I started them in shooting also. One was terrified because some...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Cheap (bad) Cherry Schnapps. Good for my cold.

    Really nice. Like the old CB also. Based on the radio next to it I would guess you are a HAM.

    I've always liked single shot rifles. Being left handed, there are a lot of "left handed friendly" versions available. That's how I got started with Marlin lever guns. If you watch lots of hunting video's, usually the animal either falls over DRT or runs around wildly making a fast second shot...

    I just bought a Henry Golden Boy. Action is as smooth as butter. I'm drooling over the Big Boy 44 with the color case hardening. Just waiting until the 1:38 twist rate rifles have worked their way through the system. Want one with the new 1:20 twist rate. The Henry action reminds me of my old...

    Anyone into tent camping?

    My wife went camping with her first husband. He pitched a little 2 man pup tent under an oak tree. He forgot to clear the acorns away. Made for rough sleeping. In addition he weighed over 300 pounds and snored loud enough to scare a grizzly bear. So there she was pushed up against the side of a...

    Great defense weapon for Grizzly Bears while hiking. One shot will usually do it. Of course ammo is kinda expensive

    How is the recoil and muzzle blast on a 41 mag? I can handle 357 in a K frame with no problem. But after firing full tilt 44 mags out of my brother's Redhawk, it is definitely more that I want to get into at my age. I'm looking for something that is short range (<100 yards) Rifle/Pistol caliber...

    I feel your pain on that one. I bought a Ruger SP101 Wednesday night and had to wait till Sunday to pick it up because the gun store was closed on Saturday night when the 3 day (72 hrs) was up. I like the SP101 but the double action pull is really high (worse than my Taurus 65). But I bought it...

    OK, went to the gun store last night, the guy there was a jerk. Told him right away I was left handed, had never owned an automatic but had shot revolvers for a number of years. First one he pulled out was the New Ruger American Compact. I liked the gun right away, except it was a pro model (no...

    Actually I'm glad you mentioned Boyd's. I've been considering buying a left hand American or Axis and restocking it with a Boyd's stock. The other two I've been looking at is the Browning or Tikka. Both make left handed 308 and 7mm-08 with wood stocks. Tonight I'm going shopping for my first 9mm...

    Really nice looking rifle. I have one in 7mm mag left handed. Been looking for one in 7mm-08 or 308 left handed (I'm a southpaw). Unfortunately Ruger lost their mind and discontinued left handed rifles with a wood stock. They only sell plastic versions now. I can't take the beating of the 7mm...

    Why the 1920s-1940s?

    Right after I relented and allowed my wife and daughter to buy I-phones they whipped them out at a nice Italian place I had taken them to while waiting for dinner. I threatened to take them (the phones) and crush them under the car. I haven't had an issue since then with I-phones at the dinner...

    Era Immersion Living

    The Walker Sisters were 5 spinster sisters (never married) that refused to leave the Smoky Mountains National Park when it was created in the 1930's. They were allowed to stay and continued to live a late 1800's lifestyle until the last one died in 1964. The Wikipedia link is here...

    Families of the Lounge

    Thank you for clarifying. Although it may have been acceptable back then (per your post), placing your finger in the trigger guard now is a modern day firearm safety no-no as you and I both know. I just wanted to make sure everyone else knows that. I know someone who was accidently shot by an...

    It is an outstanding picture and I'm glad to see someone not afraid to model with a firearm. However, his trigger finger is resting on the trigger. Your trigger finger should always be outside the trigger guard unless you are actively in the process of discharging the weapon. I'm sure the weapon...

    what was an old fashioned Antique store like back in 1890 - 1920?

    "Ahhhhhhhhhh - Cringe" I had totally forgot about them. That horrid sound emulating from my older sister's (the troll) bedroom day and night . Now I need a drink . . . . . . . :eeek:
