    A Backyard Buck - 8

     

    After watching all the amazing buck hunts that run on several of the outdoor networks, a hunter may start thinking that the grass is probably greener somewhere else. Hunting shows can sometimes be misleading by making things look a lot easier than what they really are. All we are watching is an edited highlighted version of a hunt that may have actually taken days or even weeks to make. However, seeing intense footage of long-tined giants fighting or thick-necked bruisers chasing does is enough to make all of us want to pack our bags and hit the road. Hunting out of state can be extremely tough and demanding when you work for a living, but it can also potentially knock you out of some really good trips right at home.

    Record Gun Sales Spike - 3

     

    Like many other states, Colorado experienced a surge in firearms sales in 2008, especially following the November general election. 

    Firearms owners nationwide believe the election of Barack Obama signals a forthcoming return of the 90s-era ban of certain firearms and high capacity magazine—at the very least —as well as other gun and ammunition restrictions. [ Read Full Post ]

    NEW Coyote Buster Load - 6

    Bob Baker at Freedom Arms, who happens to be one of the nicest guys in the gun business, has been hard at work on a couple of projects, one of which is the new .224-32 FA cartridge.

    What Bob has done is to neck down brass from the .327 Federal to accept .224 diameter bullets, creating what should be one hell of a coyote/varmint/predator round for use in revolvers in the process. [ Read Full Post ]
