What I'd Like To See on Down Range

[DonWorsham]

Worsham...just don't point your BB guns at people's eyes!

Don't worry Michael, I won't bug you again about that target stand...until at least...Spring!

I'd like to see some coverage of a John C Garand match or maybe a Vintage Military Match showing the participants doing the drill and showcasing some of the rifles used in club military matches or even Camp Perry. High lighting the fun and the varieties of the various rifles that served the military of foriegn countries as well as the U.S.

I'm definitely up for a Garand match...I want to get one of the old warhorses from CMP before they all run out! Maybe I'll video the whole CMP process...

Sure is a lot of excitement about the Carbines coming to the CMP. It is great that the "old warhorses" are being saved from demilling and are available to be put a little history in the hands of many.
The exposure has been very good for the shooting sports.

I'll definitely stand in line to get one of the CMP Carbines...great little guns! Probably do a whole DOWN RANGE epsode on them!

I've got a Saginaw carbine, ca. 1943 with post-war mods (sight and safety). I may just have to get another.

I like what someone once told me that the original sights on the carbine had a flip-L sight, with one aperature labeled for 100 yards, and the other rather optimistically for 300 yards.

A very cool gun to shoot.

Michael, I know what you mean about some of the stuff that people tell you you need to carry. I recently saw someone on another tv show who by the way is very well known and he even recommended we carry 2 cell phones, 2 knives and 2 guns. Are you kidding me? I think the most important thing about carrying CCW is to stay "undercover" in other words, don't give out any clues that you are carrying. That is your element of surprise. Of course the most important thing you can do is remain aware of your surroundings and not let yourself get in trouble to begin with, but if THAT time were to come think of the surprise the bad guy gets when you pull your favorite carry piece?    Gotcha!!! Years ago I was involved in a gun related incident. Long story short, the guy gets out of the car and starts blasting away. You know what happened next? Everybody ran and tried to get as far away from him as possible. No one hung around to see if he was shooting a .22 or a .45. The truth is carrying a small caliber can leave you "under powered" but are you really going to carry a 1911 in your shorts (I live in Miami)?

I agree with the poster who requested a few shows with the "prickly man".  I really enjoyed the one you ran.

And... I'm with you the Tauras titanium revolver...bought one to replace my wife's .32 Tomcat...in anondized blue and gold of course...and the $@#%@ little thing outshoots both of my Kimbers.  Drives me batty that the dang little thang patterns so well. 

I never thought of leaving one by the door with the shotgun....hmmm sounds like a good excuse for a trip to my armorer.

MB, pink is not your color.

How about a "mythbuster" episode? Debunking some of the most egregious firearm \ ammo misconceptions might be fun. Hopefully, there's enough stuff to discuss so you wouldn't have to get into stopping power and perfection... Possibly some other current and former gun writer guys might want to contribute.
