The bow is for deer, a tasty doe or a wide-racked hart The pistol for evil creatures not so dear to her heart (with apologies to those who actually write good verses)

The best knife for a gunfight?

Posted on October 14, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Probably makes retention drills easier. Might complicate re-holstering.

Posted on October 13, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Went to the range to take photos of Chris Cheng (Top Shot season 4 winner). A couple friends came along, one of them is shown here. This was her third range trip ever. Somehow I didn’t get any photos with … Continue reading →

Amazing rifles shot this Tuesday

Posted on October 12, 2012 by Oleg Volk

223-308-338 — all superbly accurate (we used Black Hills match ammo), all showing mild recoil and very moderate report, with great triggers and ergonomics. Hits on 500 yard steel targets were easy. Good optics obviously helped. More photos by DDB.

Sufficiently large quantity has a quality of its own

Posted on October 4, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Targets at the Bullpup Shoot were steel clangers. Easy for a .223 with a 4x optic, much harder for a 5.7×28 with a 6MOA CQB red dot. The gentleman with a PS90 had a hard time hitting the targets because … Continue reading →

Эволюция слов за двадцать лет.

Posted on October 3, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Интересно, сколько уже лет слово “мыльница” значит преимущественно “компактный цифровой фотоаппарат”? Термин “цифро-мыльница” уже не употребляется (плёночные вышли из обращения), а сами мыльницы для мыла вроде тоже канули в лету. Кто теперь ими пользуется кроме диких туристов… А с распространением … Continue reading →

Rapid fire capable .308

Posted on October 2, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Straight stock layout? Check. Battlecomp muzzle brake? Check. This RFB didn’t rise at all on firing. The SWFA scope also helped: unusually for a 1-4x, it’s a front focal plane design with a twist: at 1x, it has thick cross-hairs … Continue reading →

ZK-22: a neat bullpup stock for 10-22

Posted on October 2, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Saw many awesome new things at the bullpup shoot, but this one was by far the most fun: it’s a bullpup stock for 10-22 with just about perfect ergonomics and balance. The actual stock in the photos was 3D printed. … Continue reading →

Подскажите, где найти полную книгу в электронном формате. Я непротив купить, но заказывать на бумаге неудобно из-за особеностей доставки через океан.
