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
Houston, we have a problem! Seems BMW simply can’t figure out how to keep a Cam Chain under tension. I had this problem with a couple oil heads I’ve owned and I read there is (was) an issue with certain F bikes. The symptom is that when you start your BMW motorcycle, especially if
If you spend any time on the various BMW “K” Bike forums you’ll soon find threads relating horror stories about 2005-2011 BMW K1200 and 1300 having the cam chain jump a tooth on the cam chain sprockets and the pistons slamming into the valves and destroying the motor. If this doesn’t get your attention some
