Easier to load handgun
Charter Arms isn't THAT bad. I'm an S&W fanboy but I would buy one if I needed a lefty revolver. In fact, I would consider one if they had something comparable to a Colt Detective Special.

Car Guys - Opinions needed on engine buildup
Are you running a stock T5? I've read they don't like the abuse. I want one for my 65 but I have enough work for now.

PA section?
There are many NJ ex-pats on the forum that remain here after escaping like myself. I think a PA subforum may be beneficial and attract a fair amount of traffic. Yes, there is PAFOA and such. Nice people, but many of us stay here for the fun of it. Thoughts?

What is the meaning behind your screen name ?
I don't personally know Tom. I was never on AO, but I used to be big into paintball. Went on a binge of buying older stuff, Crosmans, Sheridans, a Factory F/A, etc. Always a fan of Automags and Tippmanns. Been out of it for about 5 years now.

Teaching someone to shoot a bow
Thanks for all of the help guys. I have a bit of homework to do and I will try next weekend. It is a youth compound, and I was wondering if she was cross eye dominant.

Teaching someone to shoot a bow
I'm having issues teaching my girlfriend how to use a bow. She cannot hit the target for the life of her, most of the time it is six feet over. Last week we went indoors to dunkelbergers which was 25 yards indoors. Backstop was about 5' high and more often than not she hit the wall above it or the ceiling. Yesterday we spent some time shooting about 18 yards away in my yard. Despite any adjustments I make her POI doesn't change.. Always high and to the left. Standing close to the target she is still well over. I haven't shot it in a little bit, but it shot a little low and a little left for me before I got extreme with the sight adjustments. Biggest problems are cheap arrows and the person teaching her (me). She is using a Barnet Vortex youth bow at IIRC 26" draw length with about 30lbs weight because that's the most she can pull. Does anyone know why she is shooting so high? I'm having her use the top reticle on the bottom of the target it it is always over. It's either a user error, or I have something other than the sight messed up. Thanks!

Help me get started in Shotshell Reloading
I'm not a trap shooter and I only shoot clays 2-3 times a year out of an 870 express. With my own thrower. I'm looking to cast/load my own buck and slug loads.

New Ruger "American" Striker Handgun
I don't see what it offers in an already crowded market. I'm sure it's as good as any M&P, Glock, or xD which are already substantially equal.

Scrap lead in NJ?
PA. You can pick from the backstop at any unsupervised, empty, outdoor range. I didn't mine the place I simply picked up the pistol bullets on the surface.

1st time buyer, What mistakes can I learn from you guys
I'm not a sig guy myself but... Go buy all the ammo you need! Elections make people go crazy. 9mm is very affordable right now. Buy online, ship to home. It is currently going for less than $10 a box and that price will jump significantly and supply will dry up.

Help me get started in Shotshell Reloading
I've been reloading centerfire for awhile now and I'm interested in loading 12 gauge now. As I understand, I can't willy-nilly swap primers and hulls like I would in centerfire. I would like to settle on ONE hull, ONE primer, one or two wads, one or two powders, and home cast buckshot and slugs. I like using the same loads and once I get set up I want to not change things. I would like to use Federal hulls... I read that Federal cheapo targets and Federal Gold Medal hulls are the same but the targets use fiber wads. I shoot Walmart target Federals now and if I have to dump the hulls after two reloads so be it. Can anyone suggest what primers I should use? Powders? Once I make those decisions I will figure out what wads to buy. Unfortunately supplies on pistol powders are limited. I may use 231 or titewad for handgun in the future so they are a possibility. From a quick glance it seems that some powders are way more efficient in 12 gauge than others. I don't mind dedicating a powder for shotgun in my inventory. Thanks! acquiring shotgun supplies seems so much more complicated than CF

There are vending machines in malls that take old phones.- How can we bring more members to our forum?
Starbucks is anti-gun. Although nobody will be OCing there is probably a better place.- ammo shortage?
