    As a followup, I ended up dipping them in some water and sloshing them around with little noticeable benefit. I then tossed them aside in disgust and used my other binoculars for a few months, and...

    Looked out the kitchen window a few minutes ago and saw this cat walking by. I dropped my snack in the sink and ran fanatically to retrieve the keys to the gun cabinet, grabbed the .22,...

    Cleaning Mud off of Good Optics

    I have some really nice binoculars with coated lenses that I managed to jam into some sticky clay mud on the last hunting expedition. Now I am looking at them and any sort of wiping seems like it...

    I liked the one with the girlfriend and the dynamite, you don't normally get that kind of drama in a shooting video.

    Nunga, I have had similar experiences; I am a pretty casual trapper and will usually put traps out a week or two a year. I have tried many homemade baits including just plain flour and everything...

    I was actually fairly happy with the top target, first, because I am not that great a shot and wasn't shooting off a proper bench, and two, because that seems reasonable for factory ammo. I feel like...

    They are probably rattling around down in the trigger mechanism somewhere and will jam things up at the worst possible moment.

    Again, this is all new to me, I have always had them stay where they...

    Not the best photo, but I think you can still see the primer has backed out of the case. This was a bit more noticeable with the hornady than the winchester.
