Outdoor Recreation - June 2007

I have 4 guns, 1 is an ak74 variant, semi auto, 5.45 x39mm 30 rd magazine.

-another is a kel tec 9mm carbine w/ laser sight and 30rd magazine

i have 2 shotguns, 1 remington 870 express 12 gauge, and a mossberg tactical 12 gauge, both pump action

For the shotguns I'd have the 1st round buckshot, 2nd buckshot, 3rd slug, 4th buckshot, 5th buckshot, and 6th a slug

Which one of these would you grab first for home defense. Say a person enters the home, which would you want to grab to knock that guy down, with the objective of killing him. Do not worry about home damage in your responses.

My friends and I go camping up that way a couple times a year, but we were looking for someplace we haven't been yet. We've been to water's creek a few times and love it there, but we want to try something new. We are also looking for something besides the basics of the state parks. Thanks.

For projectiles, 45° is only necessarily the optimal launch angle if ALL of the following apply - otherwise you have to consider specific cases of the eqns:

- the elevation of launch and landing are both equal => s_y(0) = s_y(t1) (usually taken as reference 0, but it's irrelevant)

- there are no obstacles to be cleared along the trajectory
(i.e. elevation of the terrain s_y(x) <= 0)

- there is no (or negligible) wind or resistance force (e.g. air resistance) => a_x = 0, a_y = -mg

- there is both correct rifling and the bullet is balanced, so that the projectile does not exhibit precession and yaw off at unreliable angles. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifling)
For a gun, the bullet fits the barrel, the grooves are correctly machined to match it, and the exhaust gases are symmetric (may depend on venting).

- For a weapon, the shooter did not move while shooting.
Not sure if the terrain affects whether recoil forces work.

How many more valid reasons can you suggest?

It's been raining lately, so I invited my friend to go fishing at 7 o'clock in the morning today, which is earlier than usual for me.

This morning we finally got started, and for the longest time we had no luck catching anything but moss. But then this guy comes along and first cast... He reels in a monster bass. I ask him what he's using, and he told me a spin bait. So I obviously pulled that out of my tackle and started going at it...

A few hours go bye, and I've caught a few 9-12 inch bass. Nothing too big. And just before I decide to leave, I thought I would throw on a buzz bait around this stump, and first cast I got a bite, but nothing... Second cast, nothing... Third cast, I nearly landed what appeared to be at least a 12 pound bass. Biggest thing I've ever seen at our lake. And wouldn't ya know it... I got it right up to the shore, and pulled it out of the water (without a net), and before I could grab on to it's mouth, it squrimed itself off my hook, into the water...

Strange thing happened to my rod. I was using it off the family sunfish sailboat, and an approx ten-pound fish was hooked. I started reeling in, but I didn't feel any weight. I reeled in some more, and finally realized that I wasn't reeling. After cursing for a few second, I tossed the rod to the side, and started taking in the line with my hands. I finally caught and released the fish, but I was confused on the rod. Once I got back to shore, I did a bit of testing. The rod can reel in so long as the weight is less then seven pounds. It's a ten-year-old rod, and I'm wondering if there's any hope for it. I suppose something broke, but does anyone know if I can fix it myself? I realize it's difficult to explain without the rod in front of you, but if someone can give me some suggestions, that would be awesome. Should I replace, take it to a fix-it shop, or can the fix be done myself? If you need pictures, I will take and send them. Thanks to all in advance!

There are good reasons why I hunt, but there are also bad. I only do it for the good reasons, but I just want to know what y'all think about it.

This is going to sound like I'm stupid, but I'm going to ask it anyway.
I do a good deal of shooting, I currently own a Remington 700 BDL .30-06, and a Winchester Model 70 Carbine .243Win. I also have, in my possesion a Marlin Model 60 .22LR and a Marlin 336C .35 Remington. I was also a 2nd Award Expert in the Marine Corps. Having said that. Can anyone tell me what a 'boat tail' means when applied to rifle cartridges? I know that it is the shape of the rear of the bullet, but no one can tell me how that affects it's performance. Answers are great, references are better. Thank you.

Hello... Well, I recently purchased an IWI / MRI 9mm 'Baby' Desert Eagle(Jericho 941).
I have successfully fired over 350 rnds. of Winchester 115g. FMJ and JHP 'Whitebox' with this firearm. However, I'm searching for more info on premier 'self-defense' and 'range/target' rounds [non (+p) or (+p+)] for this firearm. Also... are the $40+, 250 round box; Remington UMC 115g. rounds any good for target practice?
