Steady does it.

Posted on September 22, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Ten year old Ayn is too small to fire this rifle off-hand, but she can handle it supported. On her visit from California, she mostly shot suppressed .22s, but she just had to pose with an AK…after all, it matched … Continue reading →

Adults shooting kids’ rifles

Posted on September 14, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Last weekend, I finally zeroed one of the Crickett rifles I have, the left-handed version. I zeroed it at 25m and then tried firing for effect. From prone position, I was able to hit 12ga shotgun shell hulls laid out … Continue reading →

Back from Dragoncon

Posted on September 8, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Had a good time with Madmike, Wing, Montieth and other friends. I mostly just relaxed and kicked back. Most of the panel discussions didn’t interest me much, but small group and one on one conversations after hours were fun. Met … Continue reading →

Big Boy

Posted on August 22, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Henry Big Boy: ten rounds of .44 Magnum. The original in .44 Henry had only about 35% of the power of .44 Magum, the traditional 44-40 that descended from it a little less than half. Felt recoil is still negligible … Continue reading →

Public transportation, public security

Posted on August 1, 2011 by Oleg Volk

For some curious reason, our self-appointed social betters prefer collective solutions to the exclusion of private solutions. Public housing, public transportation, public protection in the form of police…invariably inefficient, insufficient and more expensive than private solutions. The expense is usually … Continue reading →
