Be ready for 400 yds and in. I was expecting 50 to 200 yds and first shot was 360 yds. I was glad I prepped for 400 yds and in off sticks.

Is the North Texas Chapter dead? Anyone know? I was excited to see it is in Arlington, but the website looks to be updated as recently as 2019.

That is a WILD project! So cool! Props to you.

They work as advertised and when you buy a scope with CDS offered you get one free. I have no idea how anyone can describe that as "expensive." On the VX6 it is locking. If you do not like the CDS cap after you get it, or you switch to a different round and do not want to use it, you can always...

I take my own rifles and it is not bad if you know what to do in advance. You have to show up to the local police station I believe within 48 hours of arrival with your rifle, ID, and a money order. No cash or cards accepted. Fill out a form and let them complete a background check for your...

Big Island Hawaii gets my vote. You can hunt goats and be snorkeling with turtles by lunch. I have done it several times. Sometimes you hunt hard on lava rock just above the ocean, sometimes in wide open grass fields. Last trip my son and I hunted goat in the morning, went and had steaks for...

It just got uglier. TTHA and SCI announced a show for January 2025 at the venue DSC moved away from in Dallas. As bad as that looks, it is even worse than just the venue. The Dallas show is the exact dates as the DSC show in Atlanta as well.

That Africa shield would have cost me money times 6 if I had seen it before all of mine were done. That is one of the coolest plaques I have ever seen.

I shot all of my plains game with 300 PRC. Even the massive Eland was pass through and dead after 20 yds with the Barnes 190 LRX. If you want options not factory another consideration is Custom Reloads of Dallas. He did a great job with mine. I have another custom build about 6 weeks out that...

I am about 50/50 on my knives. All of the convex edges get stropped between black, green, and white compound. For pocket knives and kitchen knives, I use mostly Spyderco and the Sharpmaker gets them shaving sharp quickly.

I am a simple man. For many in Texas, September 1 is a state holiday. The opening of dove season is the opening of hunting season. It is a great time with friends in a relaxed environment with generally a lot of activity. Since I was a kid, dove hunting has been what I look forward to most.
