NRA Whittington Adventure Camp

Imagine yourself in wild mountain country near Raton, New Mexico, where cougars still roam and the skies are so wide you can almost see back in time. Back to the days when Ute raiding parties rode over the mesas. Back to when legendary mountain men like Jim Bridger and Kit Carson knew every trail between Raton and Santa Fe. Puffs of black powder smoke drifted into the clear mountain skies as buckskin-clad hunters brought down mule deer and elk, antelope and bear. These men were marksmen, some of the finest America has ever known. Their very lives depended on shooting and wilderness skills. Bridger and Carson are gone into the pages of history, but their spirit lives on. You'll find it in the wild Rocky Mountains of northern New Mexico, where the NRA Whittington Adventure keeps the legends of our frontier history alive.
You Can Experience America's Wild Frontier
How would you like to experience some of the wildest country left in the West, learning to hunt, shoot, and sharpen your outdoor skills? This is exactly what the NRA Whittington Adventure offers; a chance for young men and women to learn about firearms and experience the thrill of tracking and stalking big game, all under the guidance of the most skilled firearms instructors and outdoor specialists in the nation. There is no summer camp experience quite like it in the world.
Where Shooting & Outdoor Adventure Come Together
The NRA Whittington Adventure instructors will teach you the fundamentals of pistol, rifle, muzzleloading, and shotgun shooting skills with safety always foremost in mind. They'll introduce you to the fine art of competitive shooting, rifle and pistol silhouette, and bullseye disciplines plus skeet and trap shotgun savvy. Or, how about learning to shoot black powder muzzleloading rifles, much like those the mountain men used? How about firing high power rifles at targets 1,000 yards away? Or even the thrill of a deserted mining town in Van Houten Canyon? http://www.nrawc.org/adventure.asp

The National Sporting Clays Association

Founded in March of 1989 and headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, the National Sporting Clays Association is a non-profit organization owned and operated by its members. With more than 17,000 members, NSCA is America's official premier sporting clays association. Membership is represented by an Executive Council which employs an Executive Director to manage NSCA affairs. An Advisory Council provides members with an additional source of input.

The NSCA is dedicated to the development of the sport at all levels of participation and vows to create an atmosphere of healthy competition and meaningful fellowship within its membership. Shooters who wish to compete can enter sporting clays tournaments and be competitive immediately. The NSCA also offers the hunter a recreational target shooting sport that will strengthen hunting and gun safety skills and extend "hunting" seasons.
The Beginning of Sporting Clays
Sporting Clays is the closest thing to actual field shooting of all shotgun sports. The sport dates back to England in the early 1900s when trap shooting used live pigeons. With the introduction of clay targets, the sport began to take on the popular form known today. But rather than using standardized distances, target angles and target sizes, sporting clays courses are designed to simulate the hunting of ducks, pheasants and even rabbits. Six different sizes of clay targets give the participant the experience of actual hunting conditions, so you can see why the sport is so popular with hunters.
Today
NSCA is the largest sporting clays association in the world. When you take up sporting clays and join, you are in for many years of enjoyment. Sporting clays shooters are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet...which we think is the best service NSCA provides. An NSCA family member is sure to find the fun, friendship, and a family of sporting clays shooters wherever their travels may lead.

Currently more than 600 NSCA clubs exist, with NSCA representation in all 50 states and 10 foreign countries. Annual membership is $40 for a Regular membership (includes Sporting Clays magazine) and $30 for an Associate membership which is available to the dependents of Regular members (does not include the magazine). You can join at any NSCA club or use the application form enclosed. We have a universal expiration date of December 31th of the current year. When a member joins NSCA after October 1, his/her membership is updated through December of the next year. We keep records of our members' scores in competition, register shoots for the clubs and associations, hold the National Championship each year, and provide a myriad of awards for outstanding achievements.

The Game of Skeet By Barry Greenberg

Squads of up to five people shoot from eight shooting stations arranged in a semi circle between two skeet houses. One is identified as the high house and the other as the low house. The high house targets start at approximately 10 feet above the ground with the low house targets at approximately a 3 foot height. The shooting sequence is as follows:

Stations I and 2: High house single: Low house single; High house/Low house pair
Stations 3, 4 and 5: High house single; Low house single.
Stations 6 and 7: High house single; Low house single; Low house/High house pair.
Station 8: High house single; Low house single.

The 25th shot, completing the round, is taken immediately after the first miss or with 24 consecutive targets broken as a second single target at low house 8.

Skeet may be shot with any gauge gun (of almost any type) as long as it is capable of firing two shells. Number 9 shot is used for virtually all gauges. http://www.mynssa.com/Whether you are a new gun owner or shooter or hunter in search of training, NRA's Education & Training Division is here to help you find a course to meet your needs.Take a look at a nice sport clay gun.

New Kahr PM4544


Taking the original design of its smallest model, the .45 ACP PM4543, Kahr Arms recently released the newest addition to the .45 ACP line: The all black PM4544. The all black PM4544 offers a new choice for buyers, and a new look to its hard-hitting, compact .45 ACP model.
The new all black PM4544 features a black polymer frame, just like its PM4543 match, but offers a matte blackened stainless slide to add to the overall “black-out” effect of the gun. The PM4544 matte stainless slide is blackened using an ultra hard and super thin coating. This coating has been used successfully in the knife industry to protect blades from corrosion and scratches. Not only does the blackened slide offer a new more aesthetically desirable looking gun, but it also provides a tougher coat and protection for your slide. This aids in keeping your Kahr looking just as good as it did the day you bought it, even after some wear and tear.
Just like its counterpart, the PM4544 has an overall length of 5.67,” height of 4.49,” and a 3.14” polygonal rifled barrel. The weight of the new all black .45 ACP is 17.3 oz without the magazine. The magazine capacity is 5+1 in a single stack configuration. The PM4544 also matches the PM4543 with drift adjustable, white bar-dot combat sights with optional tritium night sights available. The all black PM4544 has an MSRP of $903.00.

Debate Over 'Assault Weapons

A top National Rifle Association official said the Obama administration is using the increasingly violent drug cartels in Mexico as an excuse to push for reinstating the ban on assault weapons.
"They're trying to piggyback this whole phony issue on the back of the tragedy in Mexico," said Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the gun-rights group, on CBS' "Face the Nation" program Sunday.
NRA official rips weapons-ban bid I know many of you may be worrying about losing your job ..or maybe
having to choose between buying new tires, paying the mortgage,
putting more food on the table for your 30+ kids who moved back
home, or maybe getting another AK-47 for the wife... so relax. That

L.A. RANGES OFFER RESIDENTS FREE INTRO TO SAFETY AND SHOOTING

After taking their First Shots, many first-time shooters in the L.A. area borrowed a phrase from California's governor: "I'll be back." Back to the range that is. In an effort to help educate the Los Angeles-area public about gun ownership, shooting and firearm safety, the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) teamed up with three southern California shooting ranges recently to hold a number of free, filled-to-capacity First Shots seminars. More than 150 newcomers to shooting turned out at Angeles Shooting Range, Burro Canyon Shooting Park and Orange County Indoor Range to learn about gun safety and to give shooting a try. "We will definitely be having more of these classes," said Ron Cottriel, manager of Angeles Shooting Range. "We've already got a waiting list to fill one, and the calls are still coming in." The seminars were part of a broader effort in Los Angeles to raise awareness of the shooting sports and to promote firearms safety and responsibility. After successful campaigns in Chicago and Los Angeles, similar efforts are being planned for other major cities this year. http://www.firstshots.org/

Get Started in the Shooting Sports

Forty million Americans enjoy the shooting sports annually. But for newcomers the biggest challenge is not knowing how to get started. In fact, our research shows 48,000,000 men and women are interested in shooting and are simply waiting for an invitation.
Getting the right introduction can ensure a quality experience and a lifetime of enjoyment. For many participants this introduction comes from friends, family members and acquaintances. For others the first step is to find a shooting range that offers introductory courses and quality instruction.
To find a range near you visit www.wheretoshoot.org or stop at your local professional firearms retailer to get more information about places to shoot, safety courses and instruction.

Smith & Wesson Model 327 TRR8 .357 Revolver


Why? Well, despite what most people believe, the revolver is an excellent tactical weapon alternative to a semi-auto. Ammo capacity comes up often as the argument for semi-autos. But current revolvers hold 8 rounds, which is more than enough when you consider that the average rounds fired in an encounter is under 5 rounds. With moon-clips, reloads can be just as fast or faster than magazines (see Jerry Miculek).
Also, revolvers are also more reliable, period. They are simpler mechanisms, with fewer things to go wrong. They are safer, having a heavier double-action pull to keep finger clenching from battle tension from firing an unfortunate round. Sure, it is slower (if you are untrained), but that can be better too, making you aim each shot rather than spraying and praying. Being calm (relatively) and aiming is much more effective in a fight than just spanking the trigger.
Revolvers also allow you to carry a higher power round more comfortably than a semi-auto. When going up against body armor or opponents in cover, being able to employ a .41 or .44 magnum with hunting loads can give you a great advantage.

The Bloggy Pulpit: The Politics Of Gun Rights

Gun Bloggers Fire Words And Weapons

Olbermann Spews Lefty Blog Anti-Gun Bile at Beck, NRA for 'Murdering Policemen'

A few weeks ago, MSNBC “Countdown” host Keith Olbermann got exercised at Brit Hume’s crediting the Media Research Center for providing fodder for the “Political Grapevine” of his FNC show “Special Report.” He was quickly shown as a hypocrite for taking that very information from a left-wing blog.

On April 7, Olbermann was at it again, taking banter from left-wing blogs to attack individuals that promote and celebrate the 2nd Amendment during his "Worst Person in the World" segment.
First, he went after the National Rifle Association because someone sold an anti-Obama T-shirt outside an event at which the NRA was recruiting new members.

AA-12 Automatic Shotgun


Meet the AA-12 (Auto Assault 12) automatic shotgun, a weapon that would be more at home in a first-person-shooter than in the real world. The 12 gauge gun will spit out 300 rounds per minute, and has a range of projectiles, including the Frag-12, which is more of a miniature missile than a bullet: it has a range of up to 175 meters (575 feet).

The AA-12 is designed for military use, and can survive below zero temperatures or a dunk in salt water thanks to its stainless steel construction. It uses a Tommy-Gun like cylinder to feed in the cartrides and is designed to operate with almost no recoil.

Gun Controlled

High court strikes down gun ban

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday that a sweeping ban on handguns in the nation's capital violated the Second Amendment right to bear arms.

Ariel Sarousi, left, and Steve Bierfeld of Arlington, Virginia, celebrate the court's ruling Thursday.

The justices struck down the ban in a 5-4 decision, with Justice Antonin Scalia writing the opinion for the majority.
Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty said he was disappointed in the ruling but will give the district's police department 21 days to implement a process for registering handguns. It still will be illegal to carry handguns outside the home, and all pistols must be registered with police.
Officials said a hot line would be set up to handle questions about the new regulations. see full article here.

Mothers With Guns: Packing Too Much? By Kathy McManus


Moms pack many things—endless lunches, bottles, diapers, snacks, toys, wipes, overdue library books, and of course kids.
But does a responsible mom also pack a gun?
The question was recently raised on the website BabyCenter, which chronicles all things motherhood, from conception to inconceivably picky eaters and back-talking three year olds.
On the site, a mom blogger described the terrifying experience of a mother who was attacked at home in a safe neighborhood by a rapist with a gun. The woman fought, the attacker fled, and the blogger posed a question: “Do you think that every mother should own a gun?”
The point-blank debate about point-blank defense revealed that some moms are packing heat.
“I carry a Keltec 380 (small pistol) on my hip everyday,” revealed a mother of a one year old and a two year old. “I feel comfortable knowing that I will be able to defend my kids and I if we are in a life-threatening situation.”
Another mother—eight months pregnant and with a toddler—wrote that her husband works the night shift, and “our gun is the only way I could defend myself and my children should someone intend to do us harm.”
And there was this disclosure from a police officer mom: “I keep a loaded 9mm in my Coach diaper bag.”
Suddenly, it seems, mothers with guns are everywhere—movie star moms included. Recent news reports quote actress Angelina Jolie as saying she keeps a gun at home for security, and that “if anybody comes into my home and tries to hurt my kids, I’ve no problem shooting them.”

AK47 among arsenal seized in raids

AN AK-47 assault rifle, a high-calibre sniper rifle and machine guns are among a large cache of weapons uncovered by police in a sting operation culminating in a series of Sydney raids.
The Russian-designed Kalashnikov military rifle is the first recovered by New South Wales police.
Two men have been arrested after the year-long operation targeting the illegal supply of military-style firearms and other weapons, which culminated in raids yesterday and today.
Undercover officers bought a range of illegal guns, including the AK-47, over a series of months from a targeted supplier.
Also recovered were a .50 calibre heavy sniper rifle, a Colt AR-15 semi-automatic assault rifle, a WWII Austin Mark 1 machine gun and a number of sub-machine guns.
Detectives raided a home in Noble Street, Concord, today seizing 3600 rounds of 7.62 calibre ammunition.
A 62-year-old man was arrested at the residence and is being questioned at Burwood police station.
In a similar raid yesterday, in Powder Works Road, Elanora Heights, officers seized a large cache of weapons.
It included a 22 Magnum revolver, a 12-gauge shotgun, a .410 calibre shotgun and ammunition, two .22 calibre rifles, two Lee Enfield .303 bolt-action rifles, a M6 Scout dual calibre shotgun/rifle, a .270 calibre bolt-action rifle, a .45 calibre muzzle loading rifle, a 22-250 calibre bolt-action rifle and a Martini Action rifle.
Also in the haul were two air rifles, a crossbow, a metal-framed slingshot, ammunition and a silencer.
A 59-year-old man arrested at the property has been charged with multiple weapons offences including 23 counts of possessing unregistered firearms.
He was granted bail to appear before Manly Local Court on Thursday.
Firearms and Organised Crime Squad Commander Arthur Katsogiannis hailed the work of police in the operation.
"Gun crime is a blight upon our society and responsible for an array of crimes,'' Detective Superintendent Katsogiannis said.
"The seizure of these firearms will prevent them being used in the commission of any offence or in taking a human life.
"It will help make the streets of NSW safer for our community.''
The raids coincided with the State Government's gun amnesty, which runs until May 31, urging people to hand in illegal guns to local police stations.

'THUG' TAKES $HOT AT GUN GRANNY:By AUSTIN FENNER

Pistol-packing granny, who shot a man she accused of mugging her in her wheelchair, wishes she had finished the job -- because now, he's suing her for millions.

"I'm a peaceful person. I wish that I had killed him," said Margaret Johnson, 59, whose grandfather, Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson, once ruled Harlem's underworld and was immortalized in several hit movies.

"I didn't think you had to pay to get mugged in New York City," she added.

Johnson and her landlord, the Lenox Terrace apartment complex, are being sued for $5 million by Deron Johnson, 48, a man with a lengthy rap sheet.

Margaret Johnson, a retired city bus driver who has a dislocated hip and a ruptured disc, said that in September 2006, she was sitting in her motorized wheelchair at Lenox Avenue and 133rd Street when Johnson tried to snatch her purse and gold chain.

She pulled out her licensed .357 Magnum and fired a round into his left elbow. Cops grabbed him moments later.

At trial, Deron Johnson, who has nine previous arrests, denied being a mugger.

He said he kicked the woman's Shih Tzu, Malika, after it attacked him, and the gun-loving granny shot him.

He was acquitted.

Johnson's grandfather was a Harlem crime lord who inspired the character, Bumpy Jonas, in the 1971 cult classic "Shaft."

He was also the inspiration for characters in "The Cotton Club" and "American Gangster."

The real-life Bumpy, who was once an inmate at Alcatraz, is famous for his battle with gangster Dutch Shultz for control of the Harlem numbers racket.

An original dapper don, he was known for his tailored suits and big handouts to the poor.

"He raised me like his daughter. I wanted to be just like Daddy. It made me a strong woman," said Margaret Johnson.

She is not bashful about her love of guns, especially the .357 Magnum.

"I love that gun. It's so powerful," she said. "I don't know too many women who can handle that gun. I almost fell on my butt when I first fired it."

Margaret Johnson and Deron Johnson are scheduled to have a staredown on April 8 when his lawyer, Craig Davidowitz, takes a deposition from her.

Davidowitz said his client suffered permanent nerve damage from the shooting.

"What's grandma doing walking the streets with a loaded gun?" the lawyer said, claiming that Lenox Terrace failed to protect his client.

"They should have known they had a tenant walking around with a loaded weapon," he said.

Johnson, who once owned an Uzi submachine gun, said she can't afford to hire a lawyer.

"I'm not spending a dime on that son-of-a-bitch," she said. "This boils my blood. Why is he picking on me again?"

Huge Phoenix Arizona “Straw Man” Gun Case Tossed Out Of Court

Attorney General Terry Goddard has always been a gun rights hater. It was no surprise when he indicted Phoenix gun store owner, George Iknadosian, of X-Caliber Guns on 21 counts ranging from fraud, to money laundering.

The root of the case involved the sale of some alleged 700 weapons Goddard’s office claimed found their way to a Mexican drug cartel. Apparently Arizona citizens who were lawfully entitled to purchase firearms and had no trouble passing the federal background check required of all gun purchasers and bought guns from this dealer.

The "Straw Man" gun buyers had apparently not revealed that their intent was to export the guns to others either unqualified to purchase or export the guns to Mexico.

All of the buyers involved had previously pled guilty to various charges in connection with this case.

Today Judge Robert Gottsfield issued rare directed Not Guilty verdicts before the case ever got to the jury. My long time lawyer friend and client Tom Baker representing Iknadosian simply made a routine rule 20 motion that ended the case on the spot. Judge Gottsfield is known as a fair but tough judge whose been on the Arizona bench for decades.

During the prosecutions presentation there was not a single case where it could be proven that the guns went to anyone unqualified to purchase firearms.

This case resulted from a joint investigation conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, firearms and explosives, Phoenix Police Department and the Mexican government.

As for Phoenix attorney Tom Baker, he’s been a great gun owner’s advocate and lawyer for a a long time. I’m proud to have worked with him and his late father and law partner, Wallace, J. “Wally” Baker, Jr. for many years.

Smith&Wesson 500 Magnum Revolver


Leading the way for Smith & Wesson was the Model 500, a .50-caliber revolver that was advertised as the world's most powerful handgun when it debuted in early 2003. The marketing pitch echoed that for the .44 Magnum revolver, which was touted for its unrivaled stopping power when it debuted in 1955. With three times the muzzle energy of Dirty Harry's classic .44 Magnum, the Model 500 was a success with both consumers and critics, earning Handgun of the Year honors from the likes of American Rifleman.
The Model 500 was ostensibly designed to cater to the needs of hunters. Smith & Wesson pitched the product as "the ultimate dangerous game defensive handgun," able to halt most any hard-charging buck or rhino. The company's revamped marketing team, consisting of former executives from Coca-Cola and Black & Decker, made sure the Model 500 was featured on TV: The company produced a hunting-and-firearms-collecting show, Smith & Wesson USA, that aired on the the Men's Channel. They also got the revolver's name plastered on the car driven by Kerry Earnhardt in NASCAR's Busch Series and presented the racing scion with his very own Model 500 in one prerace ceremony.
But as Smith & Wesson quickly discovered, the $989 Model 500 proved as popular among affluent urban collectors as among more outdoorsy types. Many of these consumers wanted the revolver for the same reason a Manhattanite might want a Hummer—not to use it as intended, but rather to burnish their macho credentials. With a barrel that maxes out at 10.5 inches long on the special "Performance Center Magnum Hunter Model," the Model 500 sure is something to look at; it also features a jarring recoil that even expert shooters aren't always prepared to handle.
The Model 500 is in fact so colossal that it got some free publicity in Los Angeles when police Chief William J. Bratton lambasted the gun, saying that its firepower "reinforces the total insanity of gun manufacturers in America." Gun enthusiasts struck back by pointing out that few criminals are likely to lug around an 82-ounce weapon, especially one so huge that it can't be easily concealed beneath a jacket.
Once the Model 500 became a hit, Smith & Wesson decided to expand its offerings for big-bore fans. It rolled out a snub-nosed version, featuring a shortened 4-inch barrel for customers who didn't want to pack a laptop-sized sidearm. It also ramped up development on another big-bore revolver, the Model 460 XVR, which has extended the company's dominance over a sector that the trade press commonly refers to as "hand cannons." Competitors have answered with their own big bores; Sturm, Ruger developed the Super Redhawk Alaskan, which is pitched as a more portable alternative to the Model 500. But for the moment, Smith & Wesson is making—and selling—the bulk of these bulky guns.
The question now is how quickly the supersize trend will fade, and where Smith & Wesson's renaissance goes from here. It will be tough to make inroads in the pistols market, where Smith & Wesson is behind on market share. (A revolver's bullets are stored in a rotating cylinder; all other handguns are referred to as pistols.) Austria's Glock has become the sidearm of choice for law-enforcement agencies, and price-conscious consumers have increasingly taken a shine to low-cost imports from Brazil's Taurus. And Sturm, Ruger's .22s still reign supreme among the smallest-bore revolvers, a category favored by female consumers looking for purse-sized weapons.
Still, Smith & Wesson's new brain trust deserves plaudits for recognizing that, even in an industry as fraught with emotional and political baggage as handguns, one of the most basic rules of American consumerism still applies: Bigger, please.

KRISS Super V XSMG System .45 ACP Submachine Gun


The KRISS Super V XSMG System .45 ACP Submachine Gun was hands-down one of the coolest and most interesting small arms at SHOT Show 2007. Yes, the way the gun looks is part of what makes it so interesting. However the gun’s unique operating mechanism is the single most interesting thing about it, and this mechanism is what dictates much of the weapon’s configuration and physical appearance. Speaking of unique design, when you look at the weapon, notice that the bore is roughly in line with the trigger and below the grip tang. This configuration should also assist in pushing the weapon straight back upon firing, instead of pushing the muzzle up.
Where recoil attenuation/mitigation really comes into play is on full-auto. The KRISS Super V XSMG’s cyclic rate / rate of fire (ROF) can be adjusted from as high as approx. 1500 RPM (rounds per minute) to as low as approx. 650 RPM. Since the KRISS is supposed to mitigate recoil so effectively, full-auto bursts should be controllable, even when opeating at a very high cyclic rate (at least, theoretically).
