    Better than nothing, that I will give and more so than any Dem POTUS I’d agree. But “far, far more support,” that’s a stretch. From the article: Two days later, he tweetedthat he "will be very hard pressed to change my mind that this horror show in any way helps conservation of Elephants or...

    Please provide evidence he was far, far more supporting of hunting during his first term. He did very little if anything to support us in spite of his son's involvement. It was one of my disappointment with him. Better than a Dem president? Likely, but I wanted more. It's not about what I...

    Point out a post where I've expressed anger or any other emotion in regards to Trump and i'll be more inclined to see your point of view. Actually any post of anyone who is not pro Trump would suffice. I see people like myself analyzing the man and find him wanting. There is no doubt there...

    Let's dumb this down just a little bit. For those of you who seem to worship at the feet of DJT, you wish to make this a binary issue. You've dumbed it down to the old saying ythat you're either one of them or your one of us, and of course them are all bad. Well it just doesn't work that way...

    The DoD does not represent the entire bureaucracy. I could be wrong but I don't believe security clearnances would or even should be required at other gov't agencies such as the IRS, HHS, etc.

    Congratulations! I had been married to my wife for some 19 years and while I could drag her out with me from time to time to hunt, she had no interest herself.....and then we went to Africa and the taxidermy bill has grown more that I thought it ever would. Got her broke in to shooting my...

    Fixin' to load up some 375H&H

    IMR4350 is my go to powder with 300gr projectiles in my M70 .375HH. Not sure how well it will work with 270gr bullets. I go to H4895 for 250gr bullets if that's of any use to you.

    Well I spoke to an individual at Ben Avery. This is the range that is about twice as far for me to get to. The nice lady confirmed that they do have screens in place that extend from the ceiling down to the height of the benches. Problem solved it would seem. I plan to check it out this...

    Well I'm not sure your post is pointed towards me or partially so. As mentioned I'm not the kind of person that is inclined to sue, nor do I have any intention of doing so. And while my personal safety is on the list of concerns, the chief concern is for the welfare of the range. This issue...

    I have on occasion taken the brass and flung it back in their direction. Realizing that was a little on the childish I side I only took it so far.

    I won't disagree with your assessment of his character flaws. I'd agree too that his behavior at least invited these issues, not sure I'd say they're entirely self-inflicted. Biden sure seems to have his flaws yet he's skated on his Ukraine problems thus far. And well I'm only typing this at...

    A few responses: 1. The only real days that there are fewer shooters in general are week days. Since I'm a M-F working guy, that doesn't work. On the weekends it's very busy there and again I'm outnumbered greatly. 3. No can do 4. Again it's so busy this isn't practical. 5a. I did inform a...

    Your story concerning the unsafe shooter is why I give the RO's slack at my range. I see unsafe handling virtually every time I'm there. I can only imagine what it is like for them with the far more time they spend on the range. Reviews of the range have included many negative reviews for the...

    I try to go left too. But if you're not there right when they open it can be a challenge this time of year. It's getting hot fast now. Your suggestion of asking to dedicate lanes on the left to bolt guns only was one I proposed with the manager today that he shot down with a simple "we can't...

    Option 2 will likely be the case. You used to be able to go all the way out to 300 yards at this range to post targets. I would do this occasionally. Then one day while doing so, I could hear bullets zipping over my head from the sunken pistol range that is beside the main range. They were...

    One of the things the manager told me was the screens won't work if a guy is standing. My reply was then make them sit. His reply was he couldn't do that, after all shooters have rights he has to respect. Seriously he said that. It was part of my frustration this morning as he kept saying he...

    Yah that's a problem here too. We've got lots and lots of desert that people go out to shoot in. Why they feel they can just leave their mess is beyond me. I know right now due to fire restrictions here in Phoenix area the Forest Service has banned target shooting for the time being. This...

    Totally agree, but that was the previous sham civil case. This latest case was regarding the hush money to somehow illegally affect the election for which the FEC said there was no evidence thereof. If you already knew this and this was to bring that issue back in the discussion, my bad.

    Semi-Autos and Public Ranges

    So I've been an annual member of a local shooting range for some 20 plus years. When I first started shooting there, I would guess I was in the majority in that most of the shooters were firing bolt action rifles. There were certainly a number of semi-auto pistol and AR style rifles being shot...

    I'm not a Trump fan and have stated that on this thread a few times. However, if you think this sham trial in NYC was anything about the search for truth and justice and not using our system of justice to eliminate a political opponent, you're living in La La Land. And I think you know this...

    Got my first elk hunt this year - Help me pick a cartridge

    With the constraint of being limited to the choices you listed, I voted for the .30-06 option. I believe it will be more decisive than the 6.5 PRC, albeit I know lots of folks in Idaho who used the .25-06 for their first elk when they were young. I think the -06 is also a better choice as elk...

    @WAB, @VertigoBE, @Red Leg, First, I never said shareholders should not have a say in the company they own part of, quite the opposite if you go back to my post you see that. In my opinion however shareholders do not run a company, a CEO does and so does his executive team. When the CEO and...

    I agree, as partial owners of the company, shareholders absolutely should have some say in the direction of a company. The question is how much? In my opinion we have far too many CEOs of American corporations that acquiesce far too much to the short term demands of the shareholders. They...

    I suspect that they've got a pretty good handle on distance to the target and setup only as close as needed to make a one way trip. But I did notice the same thing. I'm wondering too if they know there's just only so much time they have to take their shot before it gets shot down.

    Very good communicator, I feel more educated on the war listening to him.

If you listen again closely to the interview you can hear...
