You can have a bow on your boat when you show up in the Caymans, you just have to declare it and customs impounds it for the stay. The same goes for your spear guns. You notify customs before departure and they return it to you. It's when you don't declare it that you get into a jam if they find...

Interesting thread. Because of governments the last few decades treating their people more and more like children in respect to weapons ("OK, now Bobby misbehaved so ALL the children get their sticks taken away"), my traveling with a firearm on my boat is getting to be more of a hassle. I would...

I liked 10,000 BC quite a bit. If you are an avid student of history, movies set in the pre-history era are often more enjoyable because you aren't constantly picking out historical mistakes in the film.

I couldn't find a reference to any original novel. The original title was The Solutrean. One interesting thing I read was that there is a scene where the tribe is skinning and butchering bison, and it's not a special effect, those are real bison.

Not a lot of good movies out there showing primitive survival skills. This one coming out this summer looks like it might have some potential. http://www.alpha-themovie.com/

If the government has the ability to say, at a whim, "We know you have this weapon, now surrender it." Then you are not truly armed. You have simply paid a lot of money to buy the government a firearm which they let you borrow at their discretion. Even Lenin once stated that gun registration's...

In English speaking nations (UK, Canada, Australia, various US states like California) what has been obvious is that laws disarming the common people are usually a placebo for the people to feel safe in an atmosphere of failed social policies by governments unwilling to face the real problems.

Second Lateran Council under Pope Innocent II in 1139 banned the use of crossbows, as well as slings and bows, against Christians. Golly, that worked out well, didn't it......... One of these days the UK will demand that all of you get spray coated in a thick layer of foam rubber so there is...

If the ammo is marked as match grade, most US and European ammo is pretty good. I teach on the local shooting sports program where the state of Texas supplies the kids with free .22LR ammo for use on the range and in competition, even if they bring their own rifle (we have some Anschutz rifles...

You can use a shot dribbler instead of a shot tower. This is a homemade Russian shot dribbler.

On why I didn't mention wheel weights, don't know about the UK but here in the US most new wheel weights being used are now are zinc, not lead. A lot of this depends upon your perspective and outlook. In the US we recently had a major rimfire ammo shortage that lasted a couple of years. This...

Regardless of where you live, I would look upon this as something to discretely put aside for a long term crisis. If you look at the kit, the .22LR/Short tool has a bullet mold in it for both long rifle and short bullet styles (.22LR and .22Short use .223" bullets while a .22mag and .22...

These guys make kits to reload .22LR/Long/Short and .22WMR/WRF/WIN and they make a kit to manufacture #11 percussion caps. They also make dies to resize rimfire cases before reloading. It's also pretty obvious that their primer compoud package can be used to recharge spent centerfire primers...

I love that rifle setup. The one area where the US is behind everyone in guns is using sound suppressors for hunting. They still require as much paperwork to get as a machine gun plus a $200 'tax stamp', some states don't allow them at all, and only relatively recently have a small handful of...

On the issue of muzzleloaders that was mentioned, the North American frontier really pushed the rifle to the forefront. In the genteel and settled east, small caliber rifles were normal. However, once White men started crossing the Mississippi they started running into things like the grizzly...

In the early 20th Century the .32-20 with a plain lead bullet was considered adequate for deer in the US. Compared to that, a .243 is a nuclear howitzer. A deer isn't that big. Professional hunters with culling contracts from parks kill them with the .17HMR. Probably one of the best hunting...

In the USA 43 states allow high velocity centerfires for big game hunting (this includes deer). The remaining 7 states require the use of shotguns, and some also allow rifles that fire large caliber handgun cartridges. They do this for population density. These states are: Delaware, Illinois...

The only real physical spec difference between the military and civilian loads on the 5.56mm/.223 and the 7.62mmNATO/.308 spec of the chamber. The military specs have a more open throat on the chamber.

Well, people talk about snipers and hunters, like they are separate, but really it's just a matter of what you are hunting. For example, snipers in the field, in just about every 1st rate army in the world have adopted the ghillie suit, a product of game wardens in the UK. During wartime armies...

Nothing is ever guaranteed, even at closer ranges. You should always find your shot game. This is why, like a lot of hunters, I carry a blood light. It makes the job a bit easier should it be needed. My personal belief is that on deer, and most game, people should try to avoid taking head shots...
