Hunting - September 2007

I am looking for some intelligent advise from others on getting my 8 year old son involved in pistol shooting. I am an experience shooter and gun owner, but have not exposed my children to the sport very much. They have been exposed to the world of firearms though, and have been present when guns were out of the safe for cleaning, etc. My son (older than his siblings by many years) has been spoken to about not touching a gun unless I am with him, keep your finger off the trigger, etc. He and I have even been in a few gun shops, and found a pistol that fit his hands pretty well. I'm just not sure how to go about beginning the instruction process. When I taught my wife to shoot, I gave her a bit of verbal instruction on what to expect, then gave her a gun to start shooting. I would be interrested in anyone's advise on instructing a child in the sport of shooting. I would also be interrested in anyone's opinions, or personal experience with this. Thanks!

gun control measures as recommended by the city? Or do we fall back onto that old chestnut about the constitution allowing guns so that we can keep killing each other?

A bullet, or a friking arrow.

By friend said arrow, and we have been arguing about an hour over this.

I said arrows do more damage to you, but he disagrees.

We've got a raccon problem and my stepfather is using a crappy pellet gun to suppodedly scare them away. Well it's not working and i'm thinking about buying a 22 rifle. I don't have any felonies and i'm 26 years old so there shouldn't be a problem for to purchase a rifle. I'm just curious if I have to wait to get the gun or if I can purchase the rilfe and get it the same day I purchased it.

Ok, the other day at the range, the safety officer comes up to me and asks me,
" Ok, we know that 7.62x61 is also known as 30-06, and that 7.62x51 is also known as .308, 7.62x25 is often called Tokarev ammo, what is another name for the 7.62x39 ammo?"

I told him I've always heard it called 7.62x39 and didn't know if had another name, Some folks call 7.62x54r Russian 30 cal, but I've never heard of 7.62x39 being called anything other than that.

How about ya'll? Heard anything different from what i have?

Like, do I need a specific kind of lever handle, or is it something in the internal mechanics, or both maybe?

I'm getting an IAC model 87w lever action shotgun (they are similar) for my birthday, so I'd like to know.

I read many articles online and found them saying the Romanian AK-47s are poorly made, is it true? In what way are they poorly made? What is the difference between Romanian made AK and other AK?

I submitted my idea today. I decided to get rid of the steel plate in my first draft, I am just going to shoot gelatin.

For the gelatin I am going to get regular Jello and just use more Jello than normal resulting in a more rigid gel. Hopefully it will keep its shape OK if I make it thick enough. I have also considered packing the Jello stuff into a plywood box similar to how it was suggested with the phone books. The phone book idea is great but since gelatin is clearish I can photograph the results easier and more clearly.

That is what I have given them so far, I can still revise for a while so if anyone has any good ideas speak now or sometime soon.

For those of you telling me to check with my teacher, what I have been working on is the approval form. She can accept my idea, tell me to change it a little, or totally reject it... we will see. If it is rejected it is because of her personal bias since I am in compliance with the district guidelines.

Please provide all and any details with your answer. I am in a debate on whether a .177 co2 pistol with 430 fps with any type of pellet (superpoint, wadcutter, hollow point, etc) can kill someone or seriously injure them. Thanks

OK - First I want to say I appreciate all the feedback I've received on this question. Second, I want to apologize to anyone I've offended with what I had to say. I didn't have enough space to write everything I wanted, including knowing about barrel harmonics, differences in velocity, bullet weights and designs, etc. I've studied all this for years, trying to be the mad scientist making the perfect load, screaming with joy when I find it. Then I get an answer like the one I reacted to, and it just set me off, like he looked it up on Wikipedia or read it on the back of an Airsoft Box. So, I'm sorry....
Now, I'm still confused. I've floated my barrel. I've always accepted that different ammo reacts differently. Cheek-weld is the same. Squeezing the trigger the same. Breathing out half-way and fire. Etc. I guess I have to accept that I don't like that ammo and need to get reloading today so I won't encounter that again.
