re: Gun goes off in restaurant.

when this happens, what is usually the cause is that the pistol is put in the purse where other items such as coins, keys, pens or other objects can get in the trigger guard and cause the trigger to be pulled when putting it down or brushing up against something. If using purse carry, the pistol sho...

re: Argentina Dove Hunt

Posted by jimbeaux82 on 2/19/24 at 8:30 am
I went about 15 years ago. I was not as mad at them as some are. I know guys who KILL 5000 doves per day but I did not do that. I made 6 hunts total. I limited myself to 500 shots per hunt and that was enough for me. I was shooting a 20 ga. So I bought and shot 3000 shells and killed almost exactly ...

I have killed deer with over 20 different cartridges between 223 and 375 H&H. If you put the bullet in the right place they all work. Most people are best served with the mid cartridges such as 6.5 Cm, 7-08, 270, 308 or 30/06. Given we are subject to ammo shortages for various reasons, 308 is a grea...
You can also try your area churches. Many will have daily meals for the poor or provide food baskets at Thanksgiving and Christmas for the poor. I donate deer to 2 churches in my area that do this. They both want it ground up so I do this myself and freeze it in quart zip loc bags for them. I am tol...

Posted by jimbeaux82 on 12/13/23 at 8:34 am
House was definitely the problem. While this was not the most talented group of players we have ever had, even if considered sub par, they were way more talented than the results achieved. Scheme was the problem. Linebacker play was absolutely the worst I have ever seen at LSU. Virtually no improvem...

Beware of the “exotic” calibers unless you handload or intend to learn. I was reading on other websites where 270 WSM is almost impossible to find now. So if you go with the exotic stuff like 7mm PRC , 28 Nosler etc you better buy a lifetime supply or get set up to handload. I have a large variet...

I am a firearms instructor. I run across this quite often. All I can tell you is that I have never, ever, seen someone who is left eye dominant, even if they were right handed all of their life, shoot better right handed or with non-dominant eye. I have people argue with me about it all the time til...

I can be a severe hassle traveling to Africa with guns. It is doable if you fly straight to South Africa, Namibia, Botswana or Zambia. If you have to detour thru Europe it can get complicated. I have hunted Africa 3 times. Once I took my guns and twice I just rented outfitters guns. If I ever go...
