Do any of you shoot (guns) ?

I want to get into bow shooting, not really hunting though. Any tips?

I bought a great hunting set-up at Dick's Sporting Goods last year. I thought the guy was knowledgable enough and spent quite a bit of time on me. Don't know, but I assume they would do something similar for a target shooting bow set-up, though if you think you might really get into it you may want to seek out the best of the best.

As far as guns go, I'm looking into getting a new custom built rifle for next deer season. I'll likely go with either a .35 Whelen or a .338-06. Either should be a deer killing machine that would be nearly as effective on black bear, should I ever decide to hunt bear. The likely set-up will be a fiberglass stock with a stainless steel barrel and mauser action.

I'm totally happy with it so far! I heard all the horror stories about them. I figured worse comes to worst I can send it back to them and they will take care of it for me. I did a TON of research on it at:

and

Both have great info and forums.

Remington 700 huh? Hmmmmm

I have this fetish for military weapons, but not real old stuff. Mini 14's AR15's HK's and such. My state jumped on the ban, and now I cant own a HKMP5 - RATS!!!!
There was a company that made a copy that was legal here Specials Weapons. But they stopped all production of it. Now any pre ban MP5 or anything HK that looks like it is 2000.00 to 3000.00 - about 2500+- out of my range. For now!!

Yea the prices are up there. Do they allow class3 in your state?

Im going to a gunshow this week, and Im not sure what to get. I'd be willing to spend only about 150 bucks. Whats good? Can I get good shotgun or handgun for that much?

Good deal. I would not have expected it from you, due to many of your leftist viewpoints.

$150 is really not quite enough to get a quality new firearm, unless you stick to a .22 caliber. You might get something decent that is used. Offhand, a mossberg shotgun or some revolver such as a 38 Special comes to mind.

Perhaps I could be of more help if I knew what your intended purpose is, such as home defense, hunting, or purely target shooting. Also, what is the area the show is going to be held at? Draconian restrictions in that area, could mean higher prices.

You can get various mil surps for $150 and under. I recommened a Russian Mosin 91/30 rifle.

Oh heck yeah, there is a TON of military surplus rifles you could get for 150.00I have to wait the next gun show isnt for a month or so. 900 tables though its worth it!!

A Chineses SKS could probably be had for $150, which wouldn't be a bad gun for target shooting/playing around.

Definitely one of those states I wouldn't live in. And, realistically, no one would ever offer me enough money to ever move to D.C., which has to be the worst of them.

I take my Second Amendment (the reset button on the Constitution) pretty seriously.

Yugo SKS can be had for as little as $90!

It just happened with the assault weapons ban, it all went to crap! And I had to sell a few prized pieces. >
