The other day on the range, I was one of the range masters that day. One of the shooters calls me over. His brand new AR-15 rifle is jammed. This happens from time to time on a brand new firearm, especially during the break in period. So I went over and looked at it. […]

While this video may look dated, the information and techniques are sound and valid today. Yes, some have even been improved upon, but the basics are still here.

If you haven’t heard yet, I like custom handmade knives. Since the first Randall Model 12 Confederate Bowie I purchased new in 1978 for the hefty price of $200. Like many knives and guns I wish I still had, I miss this knife. When I sold it, years later, it sold for $800. Yes, […]

The vid starts off slow with a long intro of 4 minutes but the rest is gold! I stick by my saying, “You can learn something from everyone.” You can. You just have to open your mind.

A Place to Shoot
By Vince at November 20, 2011 | 3:58 pm | 1 Comments
