One of my duck guns is a Browning using Optima-Plus, which is their overbored barrel, I'm told. The other duck gun is a Beretta using OptimaBore...

If the powder was burning completely yet not being sealed by the wad, the resulting "bang" should still be the same; same amount of gasses coming out...

Doubt if wad sealing was the problem. When the shell fires, the wad skirt (the part that seals) is instantly exposed to extremely high temperature...

Not seeing smoke from targets that last several years, some targets that just disappear sans smoke. Different target formulations, I suppose.

You did well.

I weighed my 12 ga Midas extended tube: 1.6oz. Since Ti is .58 the density of 400 series stainless steel, that means an equivalent Ti choke tube...

Not many.

Problem is; too many uninformed voters thought Obama meant the same thing they thought.he meant.

The mom-and-pop gun stores will move out of the city limits. The unintended consequences of this is that the city of Tacoma will simply loose a...

Yes....if you're running them. Your first miss can be reshot (Mulligan)t at the same target you missed. If you don't miss, then the 25th target will...

You are fortunate, Roger, that you live close enough to a SW retail store to take advantage of their sale. I don't.

Shoot the same 1145 loads no matter what the weather does. Gotta' keep the equipment as consistent as possible. If the wind is excessive, I just...

The problem with this great price from Sportsman's Warehouse is they won't ship these shells to everyone. Some folks have to pick them up at a...

Deep pockets? Heck, I could put up $500 and I don't have any pockets at all. Seriously, I hope this turns into a very popular event for your area's...

I have no idea how to do that.

Obama promised to "fundamentally change this country". Everyone assumed he meant "for the better".

If you're looking for a matte/oil finish, I'll do it. Don't do gloss. What's your idea of cheap and what's your idea of fast? :)

I know two people who were killed by a drunk driver. It's funny.

He meant 'there was a lot of oil running down the side'. Harley, y'know.

I've always believed "coal tar" and "petroleum pitch" were one and the same. I haven't seen all-black targets in decades.

Sounds like the stories about finding 427 Cobras in barns that had been put away by the owners and everybody forgot about them for 50 years.

No one has yet answered my question: has making it easier to achieve higher scores been good for our sport? It may be good for the individual ego,...

How do I post a picture? I have a flip phone and a 35mm camera.

I have a MEC Grabber Model 8567 that I do not use. Who do I contact to donate it to a youth program?

You're asking the same question twice, and the answer is 'yes'.

I have two old Herter's shells that have hard, transparent-blue hulls. For years I had them sitting on a shelf in my gun room, along side half a...

How many guys have picked up a new gun....either their's or someone elses......run the targets, think they've found the secret to becoming an...

Just looked at their website. Nice looking cases, and you're right about the price.

Not possible.

The clubs I shoot/shot at also had a max size of 7 1/2.....but only enforced it during trap competitions. Games were a different story; it was...

Bill, I recognize you from the LGGC trap league. I think you'll find with anything over 50 yards that breaking a target depends a lot on pure luck....

She needs protection after buying a trap gun....

Sounds like trapshooters are not popular in your area.......

Only in that the barrel is moving further/faster on one than it is on the other. The sight picture should not change, nor should the POI....not...

That depends on the alloy of the titanium and the alloy of the aluminum, and the heat treatment of each alloy. You can find examples of each that are...

Choke tubes are a useful development, there is no doubt. Choke tubes made out of costly materials are no better in performance than those made of...

I wonder why titanium choke tubes would be easier to clean? As a metal, titanium is not easier to clean than, say, stainless steel. I worked with...

Then you have to do it again.

It's (like) a Ponzi scheme; there are more aspiring Veterans and more aspiring Juniors waiting to move into those ranks; people who are today too...

So, did you clean it out....and is it working properly now??

Ninety percent of the shells I put through my Citori (2018 model) are steel-headed. Never had, or heard of, this problem. Sounds suspicious.

A more expensive gun is not necessarily an upgrade. The scores will only go up if the new gun fits its particular owner better than the old gun, and...

Do you know what "tits-up" really means??

Making the targets fast and the angles much more varied sure hasn't hurt Sporting Clays participation.....

I experienced plenty of days, Jake, when it was close to 100 and plenty of days when there was frost on the windows when I left for work (I lived in...

What will "more concrete" do if not add longer distances?? Is there another purpose to pouring more concrete? Maybe for wider sidewalks to...

Sorry, Jake. I lived in San Diego for 30 years. It's that way for about 250 days a year, not 340. That's still pretty good if you ask me.

You should have seen me last week.....

Big draw for what? Big draw for trapshooting as a sport? ...no. Big draw for all trapshooters? ....no. Big draw for some trapshooters?...
