Hi I am going to shoot in my first Bullseye comp and currently own 3 center fire handguns. A Springfield XDm 9mm, Springfield Range Officer Champion in 45 and a Ruger GP100 6". I plan on practicing the Bulls Eye format with each but I was also looking for recommendations on what firearm you think would be best suited. I know these would not be your first choice for Bulls Eye but I have no permits in hand to buy now. Plus my skill level is at a novice level. So even the best weapon I don't think would make that much of a difference. Thanks, Greg

Thanks for all the advice. I still haven't had a chance to shoot it. Hopefully this weekend. Are there any upgrades I should consider. From what I reading replacing the sights is a popular improvement. I don't want to put a scope or red dot on it. I have plenty of other rifles with optics.

Are you on Linkedin? If not you should be. Recruiters will find you if your skills are in demand.

I just picked up my first cowboy gun. A Henry Big Boy in 357. I searched videos on youtube and the tear down looks pretty complex. I mean it's not an AR. So what would the normal cleaning cycle be? How often should I do a complete tear down? I don't want to spend 2 hours of cleaning after 1 hour at the range. Any advice? I can't wait to shoot this thing. I can't stop looking at it.

Thanks everyone for the tips and suggestion. Cheers!

I have been a scotch drinker for many years. I like most single malts but my standard is Macallan. 12, 18, 21...doesn't matter love them all. A friend recently served me Jameson and I liked it. I have ordered it on the rocks at bars and it's good. Since I don't know anything about Irish whiskey I was wondering if there is any other brands or more premium brands I should try. What is the top shelf Irish whiskey? Or is Jameson as good as it gets? Greg

I don't think an Obama nominee could get 60 votes in this senate. Unless he nominated a constitutional conservative. But Obama has such an ego and cares about nothing but his legacy he may come close doing that. If the next president gets to chose this could more clearly define what elections are all about. RIP Antonin Scalia. He was a great justice.

Cool video. I guess there is a good reason why A10 pilots sit in a titanium bathtub.

In Texas they gave all business owners the option too restrict open carry in their business if they post the official sign. I think part of the problem is the order that the laws were enabled. Before Texas I lived in Arizona in the 80s. Arizona has allowed open carry since its existance. Nobody paid it any attention when you saw someone with a side arm. Gun were normal. They later passed concealed carry not sure when. I'm sure no one thinks twice when they see open carry.

I use to live in Texas so I read the news there often. I don't know how they fix this. http://thescoopblog.dallasnews.com/2016/01/did-open-carry-backfire-on-texas-gun-owners.html/

I use Hope Barracks also. It has always been between between 2-3 months for my P2P. I recently had a problem where my request for an extension was lost or ignored. When I went back I worked with trooper Theil. He got me the extension in less than a week and called me as soon as it was back from Trenton.

My dad was there. Aboard the destroyer USS Selfridge. They were not hit and steamed out of the harbor. My dad lived to a ripe old age of 94.

Congrats on the new bike. Great Ride! I used to have a Mille back a few years ago. I still miss it.

I have worn an Eagles Jersey to both Giants Stadium and the Met Life stadium. The worse thing that ever happened was getting a hot dog thrown at me, but it missed and hit my buddy wearing a giants jersey. I have also gotten the asshole chant...but I embrace that.

I have a friend who is getting ready to sell his house. He has 3 long guns and a pistol. He is not an avid shooter and his guns mostly collect dust. He doesn't have a safe, so he asked me to keep them in my safe. He will be moving into an apartment and can't say how long he wants me to keep them. I told him he should just sell them if he doesn't use them or want them. But he is not sure he wants to sell right now. Are there any legal complications keeping his guns in my safe? He also said I could shoot them anytime I wanted. Thanks,

Mistaken Identity does happen. Do you have a common name? My wife has very common name. Manny years ago when I was away on a business trip police knocked on the door, asked her to identify herself and pushed there way into the house. She said while one cop asked her questions the other looked around the house. They then told her she wasn't the person they were looking for and left. She called me in tears very frightened. We filed a complaint, but they said they were invited in and did nothing wrong. We found out the woman they were looking for was black and my wife is white.

12/13 I got the atmosphere one wrong too. But does time count? I did the whole quiz in under a minute!

They look like foreigners trying to look American.

+1 Just walk in like you own the place and find the restroom off the lobby. Plus they are always pretty big so there is always available stalls.

It looks like you only need registration in PA if. (pulled from the PA boating FAQ) UNPOWERED BOATS Unpowered boats are boats without motors such as certain kayaks, canoes, rowboats, sailboats, rafts or inflatable boats. Unpowered boats are not required to be registered – unless used at a Fish & Boat Commission access area or lake, or at Pennsylvania state parks and state forests; or required by the owner (one example is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers). I have a friend that got hassled by a ranger launching on the PA side of the Deleware. That was a few years ago. I yak the Deleware often and never have had any issues. I always launch from the Jersey side.

You could get the Rodenator. http://www.rodenator.com/pests-controls-videos-rodenators

Canoes and Kayaks do require a registration sticker in Pennsylvania. Good to know if you find yourself launching on any PA waterways. Kayaking is great, Have fun!

I don’t post much on this forum. But I felt I wanted to share my father-in-laws story today. Unfortunately Con Thomas passed away yesterday, he was 80 years old. After graduating from the University of Nebraska on an ROTC scholarship he served in the USAF for 20 years. He started his flying career as a radar navigator on a B52 crew during the cold war and was air born on 24 hour sorties during the Cuban missile crisis. When B52 crews were downsized he moved to TAC. He flew as the weapons officer on F4 jets in Vietnam for 2 years. He received the Purple Heart for injuries he sustained when they ejected over the ocean after the F4 was damaged on a mission. He earned his master’s degree in computer science while he was still in the AF. He was married to my mother-in-law for 59 years and he put 4 kids through college. I loved and respected him as much as my own father. He was a man of incredible character, high morals a great sense of humor. I will miss him dearly. RIP Conny!

Yes it is legal in my town and my 2 acres backs up to state forest. It's also hilly so it is easy to find a safe direction to shoot into. It is common to hear gunfire during the weekend on my street. I don't like shooting larger caliber because it scares my dog. But she doesn't mind the 22.

I picked up a second hand truglo. Need to get the fore grip and a sling and it's done...I think. This is my first red dot. Were is the optimum place to mount it. All the way back on the rail? Or a little bit foreward? Or is it just personal preference?
