Posted on December 1, 2014 by Oleg Volk

  Let’s say we have a target one second of flight time away. For 62gr .223 that would be about 650 yards. Aim, correct for drop, fire…not even close! 10mph side wind will take the center of the group more … Continue reading →

Shotgun for the wife

Posted on November 28, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Reasons to like Keltec CMR30

Posted on November 28, 2014 by Oleg Volk

In my experience, it’s been reliable, accurate and fun to use. The optic shown is 3x Vortex Spitefire, quite reasonable with this cartridge for ranges up to 250 yards. 22mag ammo ranges in bullet weight from 30 to 50 grains. … Continue reading →

Bodyguard

Posted on November 23, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Why should dirty politicians be the only people with guardian angels? It helps if the weapon can be controlled with one hand. It also helps if it has greater range, power and accuracy that a typical handgun.

Range time with Tavor

Yesterday’s range trip with Natasha and Jing was a lot of fun. Decent weather for the season, about 50*F and windless, made the shoot more comfortable than expected. We ran quite a bit of ammunition ranging including 5.45×39, 5.56×45, 6.5Grendel, … Continue reading →
