When a deer hunter uses a deer stand, he is ambush hunting. Basically you sit still and wait for the animal to wonder by; effectively setting up an ambush. This is very much in contrast to the 'fox' being chased by the 'hounds.' In an ambush, game animals have lower blood pressure and no extra adren...

A pitifully inadequate weapon in the hands of a skilled hunter can be lethal.

The opposite is also true.

I don't believe that "Killing Power" is quantifiable. However; knowing the available energy of any round is the first step in working out any theory. The energy generated by a jet engine is divided between thrust and lift. Decrees the need for lift and more energy is available for going fa...

Most guys that have a chronograph, don't know an easy way to calculate energy. Most formulas assume a certain level of mathematical knowledge. If you're like me and have to remove your shoes and socks to do math, then here's a simple formula for calculating kinetic energy. You can do this on a basic...

City folks are funny. In a lot of ways they're like children. They have little notion of how the world works when it comes to feeding the 6.5 billion humans on this planet. I grew up in a rural environment. When a chicken is laid out, it becomes chicken & noodles! Pet pigs become bacon and ham s...

Hello Salvo Living in Vegas, you would know all about fire. It was 108 degree F a couple of weeks ago ... and the warm weather hasn't arrived yet; but I'm sure it's on the way. You know it's hot when your bullets melt on the way to the target! Around about July or August, my desire to go shooting me...

My family has shot and ate countless white tail. I only shoot for meat. I prefer the yearlings, around 90 pounds, so I tend to shoot button bucks. Not only does the meat taste better, it's more tinder and the dear is easier to get out of the woods when they don't weigh 300 pounds! It's true of any a...

.30 US (30-40 Crag) is a great round. It's practically diapered from the face of the earth though. I've never owned one and only know one guy that has a .30 US. He inherited it from his father who was a US Marine that died in 1960. When I was a kid, I had a model 94 in 30-30. I used to think the .30...

Anyone on this forum a fan of the Model 95 in .405? I hope to get my hands on one some day. There was a time when the .405 was a prince among American center fire cartridges. Now it's something of an orphan. Shooters seem to concentrate more on small caliber cartridges or upon large caliber. I think...

I really like the oversize lever on your rifle. Did you do that yourself?

Joe I agree with you. A full length magazine is just more practical; at least on 94's. Winchester really messed-up when they started putting short tubes on most of their 94's; without offering long tube options. I like the fact that there are 7 rounds in the machine. Sure, 5 is enough to get most jo...
