Piney Woods Shooting Archives: 2025 October

When you visit Piney Woods Shooting, a trusted resource for firearm training, shooting ranges, and Western history. Also known as your go-to spot for practical gun knowledge in a natural setting, you’re not just reading articles—you’re stepping into a world where the past still echoes in today’s ranges and competitions.

This October 2025 collection mixes timeless frontier topics with modern tech. You’ll find deep dives into lever action rifles, the fast, reliable guns that ruled the Wild West and still dominate cowboy action shooting. Also known as Winchester-style repeaters, these rifles are built for dust, horseback, and quick follow-up shots. Then there’s Old West firearms, the revolvers and rifles carried by lawmen, outlaws, and settlers. Also known as frontier guns, they’re not just relics—they’re still used in competitions today. We break down what calibers Wyatt Earp actually used, why cowboys picked the .45 Colt over others, and how much ammo cost back then—down to the penny.

But this isn’t just about history. You’ll also see how today’s world connects. Why are people talking about crypto adoption, how digital currencies are moving from niche interest to everyday use. Also known as blockchain usage, it’s a trend that affects finance, privacy, and even how some gun shops handle payments? And why does a TV show from the 1960s still spark debate in 2025? We cover it all—without fluff. Whether you’re reloading your own ammo, planning a road trip to a preserved Old West town, or just trying to understand why a Glock lawsuit made headlines, this archive gives you real answers. You’ll find guides on gun safety, legal rights like CCPA, and even what whiskey cowboys actually drank. No theory. No guesswork. Just facts shaped by real people, real guns, and real history.
