Outdoor Recreation - July 2007

I am kind of new to Guns & Ammo and I noticed that my ammo tarnishes a bit after a while. It loses that bright shiny luster that we all so love as far as aesthetics go. My questions is if there is any performance issues I should be worried about.

I am trying to find a decent fishing rod/reel combo for around $100 dollars. Any suggestions? Do you recommend a spinning reel or bait cast reel? Will be used for bay fishing in TX.

I just moved to Illinois and I wanted to buy a small handgun for protection. I know a lot of people whose homes have been robbed where I moved to and I'm alone in a basement with LOTS of high priced valuables. Do I need to take a class(if not where can I find a gun safety class, I would like to take one)? Get a permit? Be a certain age? I'm only 19, but if I live on my own isn't it my constitutional right to protect myself. also what type of handgun would you suggest for the begginner?

When you go camping (in the UK), do you have to go to an actual campsite, or can you just find a quiet spot of grassland and pitch your tent?

If you "can't", what are your odds of not getting caught/challeneged?

Hi guys,

I just got a new saltwater Penn 650ssm reel and I was setting the drag this morning. I cranked it all the way down and it was only able to get about 10lbs of resistance. I was very disappointed as my much smaller freshwater Quantum Catalyst can do 10lbs of drag.

Do you think this is abnormal? I would like to use this setup to catch big fish (i.e Kingfish, Grouper, Snook, etc.)

Could you recommend another nice spinning reel for catching these species of saltwater fish?

Thanks!

A family of robins usually makes their nest under my deck. However a racoon has come by every year and eaten the baby birds. Now after two years of cleaning up baby bird guts, im sick of the cretin killing them. I need a good, solid air rifle that will give him a taste of his own medicine. Any ideas?

My top contenders are the Glock G23 .40, HK USP .40, Springfield XD Compact .45, and SigSauer P229. It will be a concealed weapon and I am open to other options, but I mostly want to carry 10 or more rounds with tight accuracy within 20 yards. Any ideas or reviews would be wonderful.

How hard is it to obtain a silencer for a fire arm?

What is the process involved in obtaining one? Any restrictions on the silencer once its obtained?

Also can you make a reliable silencer that is legal?

My boyfriend and I are gonna go deep sea fishing for the first time. We will probably go from 6am to 11am in Redondo Beach, California. What should we wear? Will it be cold, hot, windy, sunny etc.? Should we wear clothes we don't care about ruining? Will we ruin our clothes and shoes? Should we wear a certain type of shoe? Any advice, tips, comments etc. will be much appreciated. Thanks.

I mean everyone loves to catch 20 fish in 3 hours but the best times to fish in my opinion are when you have to dig deep into that tackle and make clutch choices and find a way to produce. that really defines a true fisherman.

I found this rifle when I punched in cheap semi-auto .308 rifle on google. How accurate is it at 80 yards? Is it worth $400? It has a 8 shot mag ,long as the mag only has 5 in it I can still hunt with it right?

HI. I'm 50 years old, left handed, but my right eye is dominate. so, when i try to shoot a shotgun, i shoot left handed, but since my right eye is dominate, i have trouble looking down the barrel straight. I've tried all these little gadgets that fits on the end of the shotgun, which seems to help a little, but i'm still not satisfied, it's like i'm seeing two visions. I've disslocated my right shoulder, which eliminates me to convert to right hand shooting, which would be my optimum performance. Could anyone give me help or details that would help? Thank you.
