Check out a few pictures of a couple of 1851 Colt Navy revolvers I recently picked up. Cabelas had a sale on Brass frame 1851 Colt Confederate Navy 44cal revolvers back in November. The price was $129 each! But they were immediately back ordered for 6-8 weeks. I placed an order for two and
One of my favorite past times is to help ranchers out west eradicate those pesky prairie dogs. But I like to do it from long range. Much more challenging and a real test of man and rifle. I needed some type of portable shooting bench. I looked at all the available designs and didn’t like
I wanted to build a few “Staging Strips” for Cowboy Action Shooting competition. These are used to bring ammo to the loading table during a competition. I was using a plastic ammo box that holds 100 rounds and I was concerned that I might put too many cartridges into my rifle and find myself disqualified
I recently felt the need for yet another hobby since I don’t have enough distractions occupying my free time. I like shooting my lever action rifles and I’m a huge fan of the Single Action Army revolvers so Cowboy Action Shooting seemed a perfect fit. CAS require the shooting of four firearms. Two revolvers, a
I wanted an inexpensive double holster rig as my first CAS leather. I looked at Oklahoma Leather and Hunter Leather as the two least expensive sources. First problem is NO ONE has a full set of belt and L+R holster. I checked everywhere and folks just are not stocking them. I did see and feel
I was looking for some type of knife that might share the CAS flavor and not cost an arm and a leg. Looking through the Kennesaw Cutlery catalog www.kennesawcutlery.com I saw two faux Indian knives that I thought might fit the bill. The “Bear Hunter” and the “Wolf Hunter” from the United Frontier Collection. The
Another great day was had by all in attendance! Weather was fine and there was a huge turnout. We had 4 relays at 100yds! Great to see so many folks enjoying the shooting sports. Here’s the “tale of the tape” 100yds RimFire Once again, Bob Ping too the honors. Bob is also the chef
I recently purchased a 2007 BMW K1200R Sport. As many folks report on the various web sites, some of these “wedge” bikes have fueling issues which leads to “snatchy” throttle response, surging at low speed and low RPMS, a “stumble” in the power curve at lower speeds and throttle and sluggish response from stop in
A few years ago, down at the Johnson City, TN BMW MOA Rally I saw a K 1200R “Sport”. Since this version of the K1200 “Wedge” bike was never cataloged and very few were ever imported into USA, I’d never seen one. The K1200S was always a great bike in my eyes, but the riding
My Marlin 1895 in 45-70 has proven to be an amazingly accurate rifle. I want to extend the reach of this rifle but I didn’t want to use a tang sight as this would be fragile in a hunting environment and certainly not the type of sight one would use for quick shooting in the
