Welcome to our merry mess of mostly males. We need more girls of the womanly sort over here. At least it will stop the persistent rumors about Gecko that haven't been spread yet. Good job right off the bat!

Just a couple of questions first: -Were you born before 1974? If you are not, you will have to go through hunter safety class to get a permit. If you want to just tag along and not hunt yourself, that is a moot point of course. -What kind of hunting would you like to do? Hunting is as varied as the ...

The drive to buy more guns has subsided somewhat after I got my Colt Python this year but still, there are a couple of things that are on the list: - Upland O/U with straight English stock (think Beretta 686/Browning Citori) - Rock River Predator upper for AR15 - Back up trap gun (Winchester model 12)

I don't care what the mod says. I hope you have a pus filled turd of a day.

A session with a good fitter is what you need. I can recommend Kirk King from Minnetonka Gunsmithing, he knows what he's doing. http://www.minnetonkagunsmithing.com/ Any shotgun you may have can be modified to fit you and sometimes slapping on a layer of moleskin on your stock can make a...

Congratulations on getting your first pheasant sweedishbabe. On a side note belgi, you being from my side of the world, I thought we referred to these as cocks not roosters. Hang on i get it ;) Not really an appropriate place to caption a photo of your wife with her first..ahem..rooster. Gotcha!! A...

Last weekend was perfect. Three days of Pheasant Phest in North Dakota with tons of roosters, beautiful weather, good company and an occasional adult beverage of course. My wife shot her first bird and has been walking with a spring in her step ever since. Normally she's extremely apprehensive about...

+1 Works like a charm on my .444 Marlin cases.

Reach deep in her handbag and take your spine and your nuticles back.

I would go with the Savage .17 because I'm a rebel.

Same here. The best deal out there if you want a good shooter and don't care too much about looks and/or brand names.
