      Wanting to get a smoker soon, need advice...

      I wouldn't mind going closer to $500 if I knew I could get something good. I know Weber is good stuff, and if I have to do charcoal on that I wouldn't be upset.

      Training up a young shooter tips/advice?

      I've been raiding out recycle bin for target materials, and I've already got a few 2ltr bottles and milk jugs, and I've got a plan to get some balloons as well. She'll love that. I've also already got a lot of shoot-n-see targets running around. When I go to get her some ear/eye protection this...

      Wanting to get a smoker soon, need advice...

      For anyone asking for my price range, I wouldn't mind paying in the $200-300 range. I'd rather cry once and enjoy for a long time than the other way around. I have no real preference for charcoal/electric/propane, but the set it and forget it part of electric is hard to beat.

      Training up a young shooter tips/advice?

      Thanks for the help, and for the suggestions! I had planned on getting a cantaloupe or melon to use for a demonstration about what a bullet can do, but I'm goig to scour my house for some fun things to shoot with her .22 . And for throttletony, I've worked that plunger a lot to make it easier to...

      Training up a young shooter tips/advice?

      First, I apologize if this is in the wrong spot, mods can move as appropriate. I'm taking my daughter with me to a range next week for her first trip. She's 7 years old, and I've gotten her a Cricket .22 rifle to learn on. She knows the 4 rules by heart now, and also won't handle anything...

      Wanting to get a smoker soon, need advice...

      I'm open to anything. I'm not afraid of offending any purists either, as long as my food comes out smokey! But I've seen Masterbuilt named twice so far, so I am thinking that their stuff is fairly reliable.

      Wanting to get a smoker soon, need advice...

      My wife and I are set on getting a smoker soon, and want to get one big enough for some serious cuts of meat like ribs/brisket/pork shoulder etc. I've looked around the usual spots at them, and knew that the fine folks of INGO would help steer me in the right direction. I'm not above paying a...

      I guess that's what I get for being a grown man with toys

      This is why all of my important stuff, like my father in law's WWII bayonet is locked up in the gun safe, or backed up on my computers/thumbdrives. All of my other toys are either gone or my daughter has them to enjoy.

      Goodbye Amazon its been a nice relationship...

      I'm not mindless, and I'm keeping my Prime. Seems like a lot of folks forget that Amazon is a private business, and they can sell whatever they want. It is their right, you might say. Like your right to carry a firearm, or to make a blanket statement about others online. If they don't want to...

      What else are you guys into? Any hobbies?

      Other than guns, I do a bit of gaming (primarily Civ V) and I do IT stuff on the side. I've got two custom built PC's, including one that acts as a media server for my AppleTV and a backup server for the rest of the house. I've also run my own network cable throughout the house. We do try and go...

      Beef recall expanded to Indiana

      This is why I like to cook my own food. And to add on to what others have said, buy your beef and pork from a local independent butcher. I got a full hog just after the first of the year cut and wrapped the way I want it for $375 out the door, including 4 smoked hams and loads of bacon. And it's...

      Sovereign has left the building

      I haven't tried NewEgg, but I recently tried TigerDirect and won't be going back to them. Lied to me about the status of an ordered item for two weeks, then when I requested the item be refunded, they said "Sure, takes 2-3 buisness days." Give them the time, and not only was it not refunded, but...

      Here we go again...

      Beat the rush for the few things I needed at the store today on lunch from work (milk, chocolate milk for the kid, popcorn :popcorn:), and I have half a hog in the freezer and enough ground beef to make tacos for everyone on my block. Filled up the tank on the Explorer for the wife to take to...

      What mileage do you drive to work?

      About 20 feet from bed to the desk. Working from home definitely has its perks.

      HOLY CRAP! Or what's the stupidest thing you've ever seen?

      Edited to add, the folks, not the institution. Congress, much like Communism, is a great idea on paper. In practice it all goes to hell.

      "No outside food or drink"

      I remember once when the wife and I were at a Harry Potter Movie on opening night (I think it was the 1st or second movie, actually) in Bloomington, there was a guy in line ahead of us with a sub from Subway. A footlong sub, in plain view. Manager simply walked by, looked it over and said...

      Awesome! We'll be back and I'll for sure put my name down.

      "When I first started carrying, I . . . . ."

      I too, carried in an Uncle Mike's "Universal" holster, but always with one in the pipe. Now that I'm back in the game, so to speak, I went for a Serpa holster this time that I do like. Needs adjustment still, but getting used to it. I cured my wife of the carry without one chambered line of...

      Is it the ammo of the magazine? Misfeeds on a SR9c

      Recently picked one up for my wife. She's had one before, and we were both used to it. When we were at the range recently, we both had a lot of misfeeds. The gun is brand new, and we were using the 17 round magazine (my wife prefers to carry with that one). We were using Remington UMC ammo...

      Comment and a question

      Another +1 to BGF, as they've become my primary gun shop now. I picked up a nice Serpa holster from them for $10 less than GM wanted, and they had the one I needed. Didn't want to order online, so nice to pick up locally. Also was at the range a week or so ago with the wife, and we had a blast...
