Hunting/Expert Profile
Expertise
I have been an NRA certified rifle, pistol, and shotgun instructor for over 15 years. I was on the Temple University archery team, and was a pistol team captain at a gun club in Pennsylvania for 5 years. I have built muzzle loader handguns and rifles. I have used all of these weapons for hunting. I hunt North American big game, small game, and waterfowl. I can answer questions on hunting safety, getting started as a hunter, equipment and techniques for various types of hunting.
Experience in the area
NC certified CCW instructor (concealed carry of weapons). Endowment member of the NRA, Life member of: NC rifle & pistol assoc., National Trapper's Association, and Grass Roots NC.

2011-11-22 Turkey Hunting:
Set up 30 yards from an area of which you can have an unobstructed view, and where you think turkeys may roost somewhere within 500 yards. Know where you can mount your bow to aim in several directions
2010-09-02 Pistol Identification:
Mine was also a kit, which I assembled. It is a firing model if it has both of these qualities: 1. There is a flash hole into the barrel near the pan. 2. If you pull back the hammer all the way
2010-07-11 Ruger Mark III standard model:
If you take it to a gunsmith, he could reduce the height of the front sight to raise your shot group. A gunsmith could also drill & tap for other sights or mounts. This website has a mount that fits
2010-02-11 Rifle Scopes:
Yes, assuming that the scope lens system is linear across the field of view (no aberration). If a given spacing on the crosshairs at 100 yards is equivalent to 20 inches at the target area (for example)
2010-02-06 scope adjustments:
No. For example, the elevation adjust has a set of arrows and the words "up - down", and the windage adjust has a set of arrows and the words "right - left". You fire the rifle, and find the impact
