    Turkey hunter found dead at Stewart State Forest

    My father was a carpenter and after he retired he did the usual little odd jobs for people to make extra money and keep busy. He was helping a guy install a new front door. He told the guy to cut a piece of trim for the door and he was going to sit on his toolbox for a minute and catch his...

    The Simpson's ridicules upstate NY's economy under Qomo!

    Behind every joke is a kernel of truth. Unfortunately, a bushel full here. But, hey, it looks like Homer graduated from my old alma mater. Utica Club Brewery tours every Friday afternoon. Best education the GI Bill could buy.

    17 little nazi rds. in 1911

    Agreed. Maybe I'm "old school" or maybe I'm just stuck in the 1990's but the Canadian Paras were the go-to gun for competition (USPSA) shooting in Limited division (just as Caspians were for Open) and I still prefer the heft of a metal frame wide body over the polymer double stacks of today...

    Thoughts on Rem Oil?

    STP inside revolvers. Mobil 1 elsewhere.

    How Come No American Made SKS?

    Jeebus, don't do that. I was eating. But an apt description of the Mini 14. Good one.

    #DrunkJudge denied purchase of a shotgun

    I'd say this is a win for good lawyering more than anything else. And possibly a loss for prosecutorial over-reach. Lemme tell you why............ As I understand it - admittedly from media reports - the relevant (to this issue) term of her probation was that she was prohibited from possessing...

    3 MOA vs 6 MOA pistol dots

    Something with a changeable recticle like that Holosun seems like it would be the best of both worlds but if one is stuck with a single reticle dot sight there is something to keep in mind........... Once you get done sighting it in, the point of impact will always be in the center of the dot...

    Furst USPSA Match

    @Airborneguy Congratulations on losing your virginity and I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. As a 25 year USPSA member, I can tell you there is some good news and some bad news. The good news is you now know where all your spare time and spare money will be spent. The bad news is you now know...

    Wow, write up on the Remington 511 !

    My son has my father's 510 single shot now, which along with a Fulton 16 gauge made up his entire arsenal. LOL Dad and I killed a lot of chucks with that gun over the years and taught a lot of kids the shooting fundamentals. That 510 - 511 - 512 series were pretty damned good guns.

    Trump Slaps Pelosi, postpones her international trip

    I absolutely agree with this. As it was some people were already on the Air Force bus that was to take them to the base. Almost as good. I'd have gone with a 2 hour "ground stop" before the deplaning. But that's just my "toxic masculinity" coming out.

    Whats the better grain for 9mm, USPSA and IDPA

    @Airborneguy = you have had better luck than me with Xtreme 9mm's obviously. I started reloading 9mm with jacketed bullets back in the stone ages. Used several brands with good results. I, too, came to like the 147 grain for USPSA. A heavier bullet gives me more of a "push" recoil feeling...

    Speed Loaders for Revolvers

    I had not encountered these before, watched a video, they look pretty slick. I've shot a number of different revolvers in competition and the fastest way for me to reload was with moon clips - using the off hand to do the reload. This is with S&W revolvers and me being right handed --- use...

    Trying to get excited about opening day.

    Whereabouts (roughly)? Just curious. It has been a lot colder, for longer, earlier than I can remember the prior 5 years being here. Northern Wayne county. I wrote earlier about thinking my partner and I wouldn't be able to hunt where we usually go on opening day - wouldn't be able to get...

    Trying to get excited about opening day.

    ^^^^ Same here. There are a couple doe and their kids that are always around my property, quite often in my back yard, but have completely disappeared. No tracks since the big snow, no nothing. I think they work off the same calendar that I do.

    Trying to get excited about opening day.

    I recall a day when a friend and I were taking a break sitting together on a side hill overlooking the Genesee valley. Way down on the valley floor somebody opened up with 5 shots. We chuckled - that one got away. About a minute later and a little bit to the north there were another 5 shots...

    Buffalo Idiot gets busted for possessing a machine gun

    No, I think you got it right. That's the way I read it, too. The "fully automatic machinegun" came from a West Seneca, NY gun shop although the gun shop owner "did not believe" it was that way when he transferred it. LOL I can just envision Forest Gump sitting on a bench waiting for his bus...
