I stumbled across this this morning. Kind of a different site, a little hard to navigate but with a lot of down to earth tips and instructions. Cilck on the "beginnings" part at the top to move from the forum into the instructional parts. RD

I visited this site for awhile, problem is the moderators tend to be a little arrogant, if your rifle isn't a .17 remington they tend to think of you as less than informed, after seeing several posts of this type, I quit going there.

I have been a member of this site for a long time , but like the second posters stated, a lot of moderators have a attitude problem and are not well versed in etiquette's when helping new and inexperienced people will simple questions that most just take for granted. I believe they run a lot of new members away that are looking for help. The site has a lot of info on the 17 cal rifles.

I like the site but agree.They act a little too uppety and when it comes to yote hunting I won`t be talked to like a first year caller that is tsill hunting my first dog.Hence,I don`t bother and I don`t like seeing them talk to new hunters like that.Its not right to treat folks that way about anything,whether its calling yotes,handloading,big game hunting..etc..
Too bad,could be a wealth of a site but till the attitude problems with the staff are rectified IT WONT BE IN MY FAVORITES,

I have no experience with that site, but I know of plenty of others that have the same profile. Arrogant, rude people like that are just shining a flashlight on their own inadequacies. Aside from just old-fashioned good manners and human kindness, we need everyone in our shooting sports to feel like a family, more or less, even if sometimes slightly disfunctional! I got no time for BS like that.
