    .350 legend ballistics question

    doh' -- the 300 blackout. you can use that in a pistol round (I hear some people are doing that). But that round is, I think, built on AR platforms, so if HB4386 passed you can build an AR platform rifle. thx

    Darn bee’s

    hornet spray? would that make sense to carry in the field? I was in Western IL doing an archery hunt last week. Was setting up a DRT line and throwing a throw ball. I was grabbing it and put my right hand on a tree and felt like I got stabbed. I walked away and was like "what happened"...
