      Take a person to the range for the first time.

      A coworker has expressed interest in going to the range with me and shooting for the first time. I'm conflicted because I don't know him well and work with the person, but I would like to help someone that shows interest. How do you size up someone who is interested before you invite them to...

      If you're not tired AR brand debates, give me input....

      After having kicked around the idea of getting an AR for several years, I got swept up in the hype and paranoia a year ago and bought a gun that came along a good price without making sure it was really what I wanted.

      what to do with extra ammo (bird shot)?

      This newbie duck hunter bought 3" 12 gauge shells (4 shot) for my 2 3/4" Winchester.

I have a box of...
