I use the spreadsheet to generate the printout. I have two copies, one in the gun safe, and the other in the safe deposit box. LeverBar, do you have Microsoft Excel installed on your computer? If so, when you click on the link, a window should open asking you if you want to open the file or save it....

I created an Excel workbook that tracks all my firearm data. The workbook has a master page that has all the firearms listed with ser #, mfg date, cost, value, model, etc. The right hand column will generate a value total at the bottom. By adding worksheets to the book, I also have a page for each f...

Well, lets try this........

This link is to a map of the Indiana shooting ranges. Anyone interested in getting together, just post the number of the closest range, and the farthest range you'd go to, and we'll see how things shake out.

I wouldn't mind having a get-together this spring/summer. There's a new DNR range on the south side of Roush lake near Huntington, that can handle 40 shooters up to 100 yards. Range fees are $4 per day, or $80 per year.

Just a thought........

.... deer with a lever rifle ? Certainly ! Since the DNR allowed the use of pistol-caliber rifles, I picked up a Marlin 1894 Cowboy in 44 mag last May. I took a small buck at 60 yards, and my son used it to take a 13 pointer at 158 yards. Both deer were DRT. It's nice not having to go out of state a...

The local Wal-Mart still carries rifles, shotguns, ammo, and some of the very basic accessories. They have been very willing to post info regarding firearms classes, and donating rimfire ammo to local shooting events. I can't complain in that regard.

Indiana newbie........

Greetings all..... been around shooting for over 50 years, and still enjoy learning about the pastime. I like lever rifles, and have a few. I like rimfires, and have a few. I like centerfires, and have a few of them too. :mrgreen: The only thing I'm an expert in, is knowing when it's time to eat. !!
