Re: Getting people interested in long range shooting

In my humble opinion, shooting a .22 at 200 yards is about comparable to shooting a good .308 at 1000. I think it's actually a little harder at the range that Mark posted about above, that may be mainly because there is just no good way to observe the wind from the firing line. The 2 flags are in co...

Re: Getting people interested in long range shooting

On a side note, one of the guy's at Mpls Rifle Club last Saturday was complaining about all the new ELR 22 guys snapping up all the upper end 22 ammo. He may be onto something with that. In previous droughts, you could always find the mid and upper-grade rimfire ammo at pretty much normal prices. I...

Re: Getting people interested in long range shooting

Yeah, every rifle is going to shoot different ammo differently. You can't load your own, so you are basically doing load development by trying various lots. Center-X is good stuff, but it may or may not be the best performing ammo out of any given barrel. It's not even the top of the Lapua line, it'...

Re: Permit renewal question.

My wife did her renewal in Dakota county a few months back, and I believe it was 8 days total from dropping it off to permit in the mailbox. I think the fee went down to $50 ($75 last time I renewed mine) also.

Re: National Rifle Association Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Whatever form the NRA is reorganized into, whatever new bylaws are set, who are the members of the board, or how they are selected, or who are the officers, is going to be a judge in Texas who will have to approve it all. I don't expect LaPierre to survive it. That would be a great outcome. I’ll be...

Re: National Rifle Association Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Ok, so what do you suggest people who want to defend the 2nd Amendment do? Send your money to the MN Gun Owners Caucus, they have actually effected positive 2A changes here in MN with a very small staff and budget. At the federal level, GOA works a heck of a lot harder than the NRA has for many yea...

Re: National Rifle Association Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Again, read the last sentence of my previous post. All of this came out 3 years ago when then-NRA President Oliver North and Chris Cox brought it to the NRA annual meeting and presented it to the BOD. If you missed it, you weren’t paying attention. The state of NY’s lawsuit just compiled it into one...

Re: National Rifle Association Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Lol. If perfect is the enemy of good, then what is “terrible” the enemy of? Because that’s what the NRA has given us for at least the last 10 years. Send them all the money you want, they’ll be happy to waste it. I’ve been a life member for years, but I won’t throw good money after bad just because ...

Re: National Rifle Association Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Given the current political climate and platform change at the federal level, the NRA needs member support now more than ever. I don't know, man. They have been wasting our money and compromising on the second amendment for a lot of years. They're going to have to earn my support again if they want...

Re: The Propaganda machine is really cranking it out

The US/Canada border is like a billion miles long, I’m sure there are all kinds of places to get across if someone wants to. Even if they crossed at an official border crossing, chances are pretty low that their vehicle would get searched. Mine never has, even when I’ve declared that I had firearms ...

Re: The Propaganda machine is really cranking it out

If I was a wanted fugitive carrying 67 illegal firearms in my vehicle, I would drive the speed limit. Or at worst, keep up with traffic.
