There is a defensive rifle competition each month only a few hours' drive from me, at Oil Capital Rod & Gun Club. This make the second time I've attended, the previous time being June 2017. It's not a complicated affair, and I'd actually say it's a good candidate for a person's first match. The stages … Continue reading Practical Rifle Competition, August 2018
I finally made it to the range this week. This is the first time I've been for the sole purpose of practice in... let's just say a while. First thing I did was the Press Check "No Fail Shot", as it is designed to be shot cold. From 25 yards, draw and fire 1 shot … Continue reading Range Day and Testing the New Carry Piece
First off, I bought this coffee with my own money, I am not being compensated for my time. The prep products I feature are ones that I also purchased. Methods: I tried the coffee two ways, normally brewed and cold brewed. I purchased the coffee whole bean, not ground. Here's how I prepared it: I … Continue reading Coffee Review: Bones Coffee Flavors
So there I was. Scrolling through Instagram, just looking for gun pics, minding my own, when out of nowhere... BAM! S'morey Time s'mores flavored coffee. Needless to say, my curiosity was peaked. I followed the link to their website, as one is wont to do... Pumpkin Spice Coffee?! It was done, my fate was sealed. … Continue reading Bones Coffee Company
I just ran across this piece on ITStactical.com, and figured that readers of my "What Gun Should You Buy" series would appreciate the perspective. I'll link it below. I didn't really address the aspect of picking an action for your first gun, though in retrospect I really should have. Since this isn't written by me, … Continue reading A Case For The DA/SA For Your Carry Gun
Last time, we discussed what kinetic energy is, what momentum is, and what knockdown power isn't (hint: it's not real), but not how that information applies to our lives. I hope to clear that up a little more in this article, by discussing the goals of bullet construction. Once you understand what a bullet is … Continue reading Bullet Construction
First, we need to agree upon terms. These are what these terms mean, and how they will be used for the rest of the post. Kinetic Energy = (1/2)*mass*velocity², and is measured in foot-pounds. (a grain is 1/7000th of a pound) Momentum = Mass*velocity, and is measured in pound-mass-feet per second Knockdown Power = Fantasy, … Continue reading Kinetic Energy, Momentum, & Knockdown Power
First of all, what are we talking about? Have you ever seen the following image before? The dots on the cross-hairs is what we're talking about. They are a pre-measured distance apart inside the scope. Since we view the dots through the scope and our eyes overlay them onto the image we see through the … Continue reading MoA vs mils.
I guess this is technically an extension of my "What Gun Should I Buy" series, though this isn't actually about a gun. That doesn't mean that holster selection is any less important. In fact, there is a good argument to be made that holster selection is more important than gun selection. For reference, read this story. … Continue reading Don’t Buy Cheap Holsters
The final thing you should bear in mind when searching for your first gun.
