Outdoor Recreation - July 2007

I have posted before in reference to purchasing a handgun. Many responses I have received say to test a variety of handguns to see which one fits me best. My question, where exactly do I go to test several firearms. Do they have a variety of handguns to sample at firing ranges?

Hey everybody. I'm looking to get a decent handgun for myself and there are two handguns in the price range I'm looking for. The place I'm going to (J&G in Prescot, AZ) has both S&W Sigma 40F's and Ruger P85 MII's in the same price range on police trade-in in VG condition.

Now I had the S&W Sigma 40F before and it was not a bad gun, in 600 rounds it only jammed once and that's because the ammo was poor quality. I liked the .40 round but I can handle 9mm's better; this gun also seemed to feel too light for my taste as the clip was emptied...

Is the Ruger P85 a superior handgun in all respects? It has the same capacity but in 9mm, and Ruger has more experience with autoloaders (or so it seems to me)...I also like the look of these as opposed to the Sigma.

Should I go with what I know or is the Ruger going to be a better choice?

Thanks!

I'm looking into hunting bears in Manitoba with my dad. We are looking for a reasonably priced hunt (under $2000 US each). If you know of any outfitters in Manitoba or western Onterio that you would recommend or ones that you would avoid, please let me know. Thanks!

I went to a local store that shal remain nameless, to buy some ammo for an AK-47. Lets for the purpos of the story pretend that an AK-47 isn't taboo, and continue on shal we? This store sells many things, not just firearms. They have clothing, shoes, camping goods, some food, etc. The AK ammo was on sale, so I wanted to buy some. I enjoy plinking at the range. (shooting cans and such) On the recept, it read "7.62x39 Ammo $4.00". The line under that read, "Back To School Sale". I had a cheap laugh at this. I'm SURE there was no ill intent. it was simply a minor over site. In case it isn't odvious, this perticular ammo just happened to be part of a school shooting recentailly. this is why the "joke" is so taboo. is it wrong to have a cheap laugh at this oversite?

Can I connect a lure or hook directly to a swivel? or do I need to get another piece of fishing line, attach that to the hook or swivel, and then make a loop on the other end and attack THAT to the swivel?

We're going camping in the rockies, Arapahoe National Forest. There's Golden Gate State Park with fishing facilities nearby our campground but I havent been fishing in years and have no idea what I'm fishing for, what kind of bait to use, what kind of line to buy... The kids picked out their favourite zebco reel and rod sets, so I at least have THAT.. Any ideas?

I am 24 and live in Kansas. I am not a hunter, but I do like to fire a gun from time to time. I am moving to a place that is already occupied by a groundhog (Under the garage) and I want to get rid of it! I also want a .22 handgun for the heck of it... I figure why not get rid of the groundhog with a .22 handgun... I can fiddel with the dang thing forever but nothing is sure to get rid of it like a gun (if i can hit it).

So how much would one likely be?
Do I need to take some test to get one?
Do I need something if I am carrying it in my car? (I dont have a reason to do that, but just incase)
Do I need anything if its in my house?
I guess I am just worried about all the stuff I will have to go through just to get the dang gun for fun, but I guess its a handgun, so I dont know...

Thanks.

When I go out on a charter boat to fish in the SF bay or the ocean, they stock up on a large amount of live anchovies. They seem to do fine when they are in the live-well, but once they are put in buckets for use as bait, they start to weaken and eventually die. Why does that happen? What is different about the bucket and the live-well for the bait?
