So I’m thinking of ordering a basic hinged window from these guys. It looks like most people box them in, then mount the window to the inside of the box. Seems nice and easy and the price is OK. But do you just leave water sitting on the sill then outside the window? Is this a concern? I...

So I have (1) Plano 1919 box that’s 108 quart. It was an ok price, and I thought it was sealed but wasn’t. I contacted Plano about it and they sold me the print and the longer hinges for I think $10, plus s/h, which I didn’t think was too bad. Anyway, now my son and I have too much stuff for...

Well, I took it all apart and cleaned it. The holes are too small for any of the brushes that I’ve got, so just ran a patch through them with some alcohol on it and pushed it through with a small nail. I found that one of the tapped holes appears to have either been tapped crooked, or was...

I was thinking about that.... I'm actually in manufacturing. For some reason, I was thinking that Loctitie #242 (blue) was not suited for stainless steel. But I just looked it up and their site specifically mentions stainless.... So yeah, I guess I'll do that. Thanks for the suggestion!

So I went and shot today. It didn’t go too badly. I can tell you that you can feel the difference between a 270 grain Speer and a 240 grain Magtech cheapo. I shot off a shooting stick and I’m flinching pretty good but I still made a lot of decent shots. I adjusted my red dot a bit and...

Yeah, I’m is big fan of that Newton guy and that logic always made sense to me.... We’ll see what happens when I finally get to throw some of these down range! Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

On this topic still, I’ve seen some people mention that they think that the amount of felt recoil may actually be lower with a heavier bullet and more pronounced with lighter bullets. Is there any truth to this in anyone’s experience or is this an old wives tale? I got my two boxes of ammo...

The blind spots are a good point that I should also mention. The location will be right in the SW corner of the property, looking over corn/bean field. I’ll probably put in some flapped peep holes on the side walls for a quick look, but the sides and the back are no good for a shot because it’s...

Thanks for your two cents. Here's my thinking with most of it. My son is 13 and we're in a 5'x5' ground blind now, hunting with Crossbow's. I took a buck out of it with my 870, but there's not enough room for the two of us with a shotgun. So I went another foot deeper. As for the width, I...

So I’m mentally preparing to build an elevated box blind. I’m thinking 8’x6’. I don’t really have access to haul anything except my pickup truck and I’ll be out on the far corner of the property. So I’ll be doing almost 100% of the assembly on site. Anyway, I’m thinking that I like the idea...

I ordered a 50 round box of Magtech cheap stuff last night, and a 25 round box of the Hornady XTP hunting stuff. I figure that once I get to the bottom of the box of the cheap stuff, I can throw a few rounds of the hunting stuff for comparison and see what happens. Sent from my iPad using...

Yeah I’ve been thinking about that. The trigger does seem very light to me, but remember, this is the first revolver I’ve ever owned, so it very well may be quite average. But compared to a Glock, it feels like a hair trigger to me. Anyway, I’ve got a pair of gloves that are mechanic style...

Thanks for the tips guys. I took it to my local indoor range and put 25 rounds thru it of the only box they had. PMC, 180gr SJHP I think. I only shot out to maybe 40’ or so. My conclusions: * I need more practice * I don’t like the Pachmayr grips that are on it * The trigger in SA is super...

Hey everyone: So I screwed up and started watching videos about revolvers. I’ve never owned one, so I started sniffing around and decided that if I was going to buy one, I might as well get one that would be suitable for deer hunting under IL’s laws. Before I knew it, I was followed home by a...

Hey everyone, I haven’t been active on this forum much, but I did get some advice from folks on this forum regarding hunting a while back since I’m a newbie. Anyway, I wanted to report that I got a small spike buck last weekend! My son and I setup a ground blind in a high traffic area and have...

Hey everyone: My son and I are hunting in a couple ground blinds this year. So I’ve scored some all black clothing for our upper bodies, which includes a couple black balaclavas. But with both these and our camo ones we wore last year, our glasses fog up like crazy. I’ve tried several of the...
