If I use a creek to rinse off squirrel after cleaning, then boil it in water, will it then be safe to eat?

I love to go deer hunting but all the rifles I've tried have way to much kick for my small frame..I'm 5ft 1 inch and weigh 93 pounds I'm pretty tiny. I'm looking for a rifle that isn't going to knock me on my butt...any suggestions?

What type of shotgun should I buy? I am a 13 year old female that recently went to a clay shooting range. I found it enjoyable, so my dad wants to buy me my own shotgun since the ones for rent are too big. I believe the one my instructor let me use was a 12 Ga. single shotgun.
I felt it was alright, but im a total newb on models and stuff. I am 5ft 1/2 in and 97 pounds. I also want to know whether the 12Ga. Or 20Ga. kicks less. Also, which one is comfortable, considering the female body shape. Thanks! ^^ Also please provide a website if you can! Thanks for your time ^^

I need to get new airsoft bbs. I've been on several websites and each site says it sells the best airsoft bbs. For example, are the "extreme precision" bbs on airsoftgi.com the same as the "high polished" bbs on shortyusa.com?

I took my Baby Eagle out a couple months ago and fired Winchester White Box ammo (WWB). I had at least three jams where that slide wouldn't go all the way forward. And this was only shooting 100 rounds. I took it out a little while later with more WWB and had about 4 jams(this out of 70 rounds), one where I had to put all of my force into it just to eject it. I was cleaning in between shootings and lubing so I new it wasn't that. All this was with WWB 115gr from Walmart.

Well anyways, today I took it out again with 100 rounds of Federal American Ammunition; one box of 115gr and one boxof 147gr. It shot flawlessly and EXTREMELY accurate. Also to mention, tonight while cleaning my handgun, it was FAR less dirty than when I shot with Winchester. After shooting with Winchester it even stained a portion of my barrel black even with a very good cleaning.

I know which ammo I'm shooting my 9mm Baby Eagle with now!

I have a crossman .177 caliber and 675 fps. air rifle but today I went hunting for squirrels chipmunks birds etc. but when I shot them they did not die, I think it may have been because I was using wadcutter flat nosed pellts if i used the pointed pellets would it make the difference and get the kill ?

Ok, I have made some thought, and the only factor keeping me away is RECOIL...Which has more recoil

a marlin 336 30-30
OR
a marlin 1894 .44 magnum


thanks for reading, and hopefully awnsering!


P.S. mainly going to be used for target shooting, but cost / knockdown power isnt really an issue right now

I'm going on a Leadership Indoor Camping Trip with my school next week, and they didn't give us a list of things to bring. I know that it is classified as "Indoor camping" because we will be staying in bunks and there are indoor bathrooms. What do you bring when you go camping with school?

Where can I find a hairpin trigger for my Savage Stevens Model 200 .30-06. I had the trigger pull reduced as much as possible but I would like to have it even lower.

I just have a few simple question on airguns. I did my research and it has come down to the RWS model 34 (.22) or the Gamo varmint hunter (.177)
It will be used for target shooting and hunting small to medium birds, squirrells, and possibly a raccoon.

So my questions are this:
1) Which gun should I buy?
2) Do any of you own one or both of these guns and can shed some light on this subject from personal experience?
3) I know that the best ammo is which ever works best for your gun but in a general rule, for hunting, does hollow points do more damage to the animal?

Thank you for your help in advance!

Like the .58 rifled musket they used in the civil war. I think it can do 4 inches of soft pine at 900 yards, so what could it do at close range, like say 20 yards?
If you dunno take an educated geusse!

I'm heading to the military soon and before I go I want to basically go on a survival camping trip for a couple weeks.

I'm an experienced camper and hunter but I've always been with someone else. Basically I want to find a place well off the beaten path(No national parks!), extremely remote where I won't run into anyone else or very rarely will I run into someone else.

Anyone know some good spots? Also note this will most likely be a winter camping trip.

Deer hunting in north Alabama. Will it hurt my efforts to hunt a ground blind the same day I set it up? I can't leave it in the woods, because it's public land.

Like on the .58 springfield? Is it heavy, or pretty light?
