I suppose we're all supposed to care about who acts loose with whom, but it looks pretty stupid and I really want to see some shooting instead of flirting and posing. But the guns were mighty cool, and I felt more than just a twinge of jealousy as I watched the competition.</p>...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://hunting.about.com/b/2012/02/22/top-shot-s4e2-bar-grenade-launcher-and-fireworks.htm">Read Full Post</a></p> http://hunting.about.com/b/2012/02/22/top-shot-s4e2-bar-grenade-launcher-and-fireworks.htm Wed, 22 Feb 2012 01:18:31 +0000 2012-02-22T01:18:31Z http://hunting.about.com/b/2012/02/21/top-turkey-guns-3.htm <p>It shouldn't be too much longer before turkey season is here for many of us.

Long guns can be pretty awkward sometimes, and improving the way we carry them is a worthwhile endeavor - especially if it causes us to carry our guns in a safer manner. This product helps accomplish both of those goals, even if it isn't totally perfect...</p>...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://hunting.about.com/b/2012/02/16/review-peregrine-quick-shot-shotgun-and-rifle-holster.htm">Read Full Post</a></p> http://hunting.about.com/b/2012/02/16/review-peregrine-quick-shot-shotgun-and-rifle-holster.htm Thu, 16 Feb 2012 08:59:42 +0000 2012-02-16T08:59:42Z http://hunting.about.com/b/2012/02/15/top-shot-s4e1-motorcycle-sidecar-shootout.htm <p>Top Shot has made it to season 4, and they celebrated by sending 3 shooters home on the first episode.

I like the fact that the top locks onto the bottom, so the top won't slip off and dump your ammo everywhere - and that's especially important when you have more than one load in a box (as when you're testing reloads, etc). It can also be useful for transporting factory ammo also, but don't forget to cut the end flap off the factory box and tape it to this box so you know what load you've got.</p>...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://hunting.about.com/b/2012/02/15/review-frankford-arsenal-ammo-vault-slip-top-locking-20-round-ammunition-box.htm">Read Full Post</a></p> http://hunting.about.com/b/2012/02/15/review-frankford-arsenal-ammo-vault-slip-top-locking-20-round-ammunition-box.htm Wed, 15 Feb 2012 07:23:51 +0000 2012-02-15T07:23:51Z http://hunting.about.com/b/2012/02/14/review-kleen-bore-chambermate.htm <p><a href="http://hunting.about.com/library/weekly/aa010222.htm"><img src="http://0.tqn.com/d/hunting/1/0/_/1/ChamberMate.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="182" /></a></p> <p>The Kleen-Bore Chambermate is a great tool, and I really enjoy owning it.

I usually buy my vehicles, houses, and many other things second-hand - including most of my guns. Every now and then I do bite the bullet and buy something brand spanking new, but quite often that doesn't make sense financially. Sure, used guns lack that brand-new look and feel, but you can almost always get a used gun for less than buying new, and that often helps a lot. Of course, there are usually more questionable aspects of a used gun versus a new one, and that's where this article comes in...</p>...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://hunting.about.com/b/2012/02/13/before-you-buy-a-used-rifle.htm">Read Full Post</a></p> http://hunting.about.com/b/2012/02/13/before-you-buy-a-used-rifle.htm Mon, 13 Feb 2012 08:20:00 +0000 2012-02-13T08:20:00Z http://hunting.about.com/b/2012/02/09/dont-aim-high-hunters.htm <p>Many's the buck or bull that walked away from an encounter with a hunter because the hunter thought the critter was farther away than it really was, or that his or her gun didn't shoot as flat as it really does. Here's the thing - they usually ain't that far away, and the majority of guns in the hunting woods these days shoot flat enough that they'll reach way on out there and still hit within the kill zone. <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://hunting.about.com/od/hunting/a/do-not-aim-high-when-hunting.htm">Read on</a> to learn more...</p>...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://hunting.about.com/b/2012/02/09/dont-aim-high-hunters.htm">Read Full Post</a></p> http://hunting.about.com/b/2012/02/09/dont-aim-high-hunters.htm Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:09:32 +0000 2012-02-09T12:09:32Z http://hunting.about.com/b/2012/02/08/reviewprofile-winchester-model-62a-pump-slide-action-rifle.htm <p><a href="http://hunting.about.com/od/guns/ss/winchester-model-62a-pump-action-22-rifle-review-profile.htm"><img src="http://0.tqn.com/d/hunting/1/5/J/L/winchester-model-62a-03w.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="129" /></a></p> <p>You could say that this rifle was born in the 1800s, but that doesn't mean it's outdated or that it can't keep up with any modern 22 rifle. On the contrary - in many ways it's superior to some of its modern counterparts. While this particular gun has been "rode hard and put away wet," it's still very functional and dependable, and can be easily taken down to a short length if you need to conserve space. Check it out - the 62A is a nice old rifle that deserves respect and admiration.</p>...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://hunting.about.com/b/2012/02/08/reviewprofile-winchester-model-62a-pump-slide-action-rifle.htm">Read Full Post</a></p> http://hunting.about.com/b/2012/02/08/reviewprofile-winchester-model-62a-pump-slide-action-rifle.htm Wed, 08 Feb 2012 08:59:56 +0000 2012-02-08T08:59:56Z
