The Importance of  Firearms Training for Gun Owners If you plan to own a gun for self-defense, I’m a huge proponent of firearms training. Not just the “once upon a time” firearms course, and definitely not the short Concealed Handgun License class, but ever expanding, personally challenging, diverse training courses that will give you confidence […]

Binary explosives can be a blast when you follow the instructions properly.  But you will always find someone who needs a life lesson to learn otherwise.  Often those slow learners are missing appendages.  Case in point:

Manufactures instructions warn to be at least 100 yards away for the powerful 1 pound and larger centerfire targets, and clear the area of any debris.  Detonating a target inside a machine with blades from 44′ is a recipe for disaster.

Learn from this guy: don’t be an idiot.

Also, always place a courtesy call to the local sheriff when getting your ‘Merica on, it makes life easier for everyone.

Sporting Classics Daily recently ran the story of a mule deer tag that went for $410,000 at auction. In Montana a bighorn license went for $305,000 at auction

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks auctioned off the license in January for the 2016 season. According to KPAX 8, the winning bidder was a member of the Wild Sheep Foundation. Of his bid, 90 percent — $274,500 — will go to the FWP’s sheep conservation efforts.

Each year, 150 sheep tags are issued for Montana via a lottery. Of those, less than one percent will be drawn, giving a select few a chance at the state’s roughly 5,000 sheep spread across 3.7 million acres.

The highest bid on a Montana sheep hunt was set in 2013, when Douglas Leech paid $480,000 for the privilege of hunting the mountain kings. In 2014 and 2015 the licenses were auctioned for $320,000 each.
