  1. Hello, I have a Judge 45 Colt/410.  Trying to save time and eliminate ranges.  I'm looking for a TGO member approved middle Tennessee/Nashville area indoor range that is ok with 000 buckshot/pellets being shot at paper targets at 10-15 yards?  Some 410 handgun ammo has discs and lead pellets.   Don't want to practice at a range that TGO members know that does not allow.   Thanks for any feedback.  

  2. Hi Everyone, 

     

    Here's what going on and I appreciate any feedback.  I'm in my early 50's.   I'm having a couple of issues that have been creeping up on me.  

     

    Issue #1 - Vision

    As most folks my age, my up close vision is going.  Distance vision is fine.  What is happening is the Rear/Front sight alignment on my handgun is "fuzzy".  I can see the front dot, but the rear sight is lost.   It's hampering my enjoyment of showing my daughter's fiance how to put 7 in the middle of the target.  What can I do to improve my shooting?

     

    Issue #2 - Shaking Hands

    After about 30 rounds or so, my right hand starts getting the shakes.  If I lean against a post, no problem.  I just can free hand shoot because my dern right hand (dominant) hand is shaking.  Also, it feels like my wrist starts to burn like a carpal tunnel thing.   Am I just getting weak and old??  Anyone else experience this?

     

     

    Any and all feedback is appreciated!!

  3. I read the thread and want to make sure I understand.  Let's say I order from Buds online I pay for the gun plus insurance and have it sent to a local "preferred" FFL dealer for $25 or $35 plus the $10 TN background.  Wouldn't the local FFL in TN collect the TN sales tax?  

     

    Update: Looked up a FFL in TN.  They only collect the transfer fee plus $10, no tax.  Answered my own question.  

  4. "An individual with a valid TN Handgun Carry Permit is not allowed to have their weapon loaded and on their person if entering the new Lebanon Shooting range and store? That statement is correct... COOP

    Thanks. I wish that store the best; however, I'll have to seriously consider if I'll ever visit them now based on principle. I favor supporting establishments that truly believe in and recognize our 2nd amendment rights regardless of the excuse or reason. It's definitely not a good way to build relationships and long term sales. We have other choices in Lebanon like the Armory and David's Lebanon Gun Shop.

  5. Just to be clear I understand - An individual with a valid TN Handgun Carry Permit is not allowed to have their weapon loaded and on their person if entering the new Lebanon Shooting range and store? If you're bringing a weapon in a case or range bag to the firing range or to trade at the counter, that weapon needs to be unloaded prior to walking in the door. I can understand a rule banning loaded weapons in a case. I'm double verifying that HCP holders are not welcome to have their loaded weapons on their person, concealed or not. Thanks.

  6. good job Nikki! She did WAY better than Rayburn. And, with Credit to Channel 4, they gave her plenty of time to make her point.

    Agree! Nikki did a great job of laying out the basics!

    Randy Rayburn should be happy camper because he can post his property. . . why would he care what anyone else does? I wonder if he and his bartenders are responsible for destroying more families than any permit holder ever will. . . he serves alcohol to people who drive on the roadways that could kill anyone of us. It would be nice to know how many times he's been sued for serving alcohol because they drank in his bar and went out and killed someone or damaged property. Drink responsibly right Randy?

  7. Haslam was a member of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns (started by NYC mayor Bloomberg). Haslam left that group about the time he decided to run for TN Governor.

    I know of an individual who is going to work for the Haslam campaign that confirmed this. This individual is an HCP holder and feels Haslam may have a problem with 2nd amendment rights and gun restrictions.

    Haslam should be crossed off the list fast.

  8. I don't have a prob shutting down the drinking at midnight. I also don't have a problem with bars having to be accountable for their status under the law and report food sales. Curry has a point on multiple levels.

    Let's be honest, drunk drivers kill more people, cause more property damage, and permenantly ruin more lives than our guns could ever do.

    Why is alcohol and bars the sacred cow? I support Curry and I say lets take it to 'em.

  9. I don't recall an offensive odor or an unusually long wait, but our visit was nothing special. It wasn't terrible, but the hype we had heard about the place was not lived up to.

    It may not be the romantic atmosphere you're looking for, but a better steak can be had at Outback or Demos'.

    YMMV

    My exact thoughts. We live 15 minutes from there and pass it by all the time. . .intentionally.

  10. When TWRA considered changing some of the fishing regulations last year, I called my local TWRA commisioner to expressed my concerns and recommendations. They love hearing from us and they do consider our feedback. I think the TWRA does a great job given what they have to work with and the politics involved. They have my support. Anytime I've ever been checked, they've been very polite. I've never considered them anti-sportsman in any way.

  11. Those things jump up and scatter in all different directions in the blink of an eye. Focus on one moving away from you in a straight line and let 'em have it. If you watch more than one, they'll be gone before you can draw a bead. Maybe you can drop at least two. Even if you have a dog pointing, when they jump up to fly, it can startle you from the noise of their wings.

    They are so delicious!! Beautiful birds too. Have a great time.
