Alaska is a land of diverse weather conditions. Appropriate summer time clothing would range from t-shirts to sweatshirts and sweaters, with a light coat to keep out wind or rain. When it is cool, layering different types and weights of clothing will help you stay comfortable. The dress code in most of Alaska is casual.

The key to comfort in Alaska in the summer is wearing layers of clothing. Bring a jacket or sweater you can slip on and off as the day gets hotter or cooler, plus a rain jacket that can double as a windbreaker. Comfortable walking shoes and warm socks are appropriate for all seasons and are a must. Casual wear is welcome virtually everywhere. Bug repellant, a hat, sunglasses and extra film are also very useful.

This will allow you to avoid hassles, enter and leave the country that your safari will take place in very easily.

Embassies and consulates should also be able to answer your questions.

Bring your guns in with action open and unloaded. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Always keep your finger off the trigger until on the firing line and ready to shoot. Always keep the gun unloaded until you are on the firing line and ready to shoot. Do not approach the firing line with a gun if the line is safe -- if not sure, ask first. SAFETY IS EVERYBODY'S RESPONSIBILITY!

CO2 tanks are suggested to be left at home for individuals residing outside of Canada. Cases of drug smuggling involving various gas tanks have not been unheard of and Customs have trouble seeing inside of these tanks.

Gun? No... the first thing anyone needs to invest in is the mask. You'll need something comfortable, and has a good lens most of all. If you're out on the field and you cant see a thing because your lens is all fogged up how are you going to shoot? You might as well not even have a marker. (They are called markers, not guns.

Most major airlines fly to Alaska. Many of our trips start and end in different cities (Anchorage or Fairbanks) and not all the major airlines fly to Fairbanks. If you need help, we can arrange a one way flight between Fairbanks and Anchorage on local carrier Frontier Flying.

ANSWER: We recommend you bring your own weapon. We do have a limited number of high quality firearms (including youth models) at the lodge that will be available in case the need arises. We will also be happy to take you to a local sporting goods superstore for you to purchase anything you need or may have forgotten. We recommend that you bring the following..

It depends. This is a very personal decision. Many of our clients bring their own every season, and will continue to no matter what. In 2005 they made up about 20%of our total clientele. The remainder decided for various reasons, not to bring their own gun. We suggest that you look at the following pros and cons very carefully before deciding which choice is right for you: Bringing your gun to Argentina is a lot more expensive than it used to be.

We suggest you bring at least 50 rounds of 9mm Luger, at least 50 rounds of 38 special, and at least 100 rounds of 22 LR, all FMJ (full metal jacket). Good places to buy ammo include Dick's and Walmart. Winchester, Remington and Federal are recommended (and reasonably priced). If you plan to shoot our guns, do not bring Wolf, Silver Bear, or Blazer (Blazer Brass is OK) brands of ammo. Also, DO NOT BRING AMMO INTO THE CLASSROOM, LEAVE IT IN YOUR CAR.

It's essential to have warm fleece clothing and thermal underwear to keep yourself warm. A good Goretex type jacket will keep you dry. We tried to find waterproof and warm gloves but could not find them so we covered our normal gloves with plastic bags to keep them dry. Waterproof shoecovers proved very handy. Nothing worse than cold and wet shoes when you get up the next morning! ( Keyword : alaska ) I'm not sure. We did go there in the very late summer / autumn and did not have any problems..

The gulls fear nothing! They fly up when you run at them or the dogs run and bark at them, then one minute later they land behind you on the nest. If we shoot a couple it might let them know what's what. We have a permit for collecting either one or two gulls. And Dick has a gun. (See Dick's 2002 and 2003 reports for more on this.) The house has lots of standard condiments such as salt, pepper, mustard, sugar, old coffee—a lot of stuff—plus a very good gas stove.

This depends wholly on what state you are living in. Because of our federal system of government, each state has a different set of laws regarding firearms. Some are very restrictive, others are not. There are also federal laws that apply to all of us, particularly regarding what types of weapons one can purchase, who can sell guns, and who is allowed to buy them. However, according to gun authority Bruce B. Biggs, there are roughly twenty thousand gun control-laws in the United States.

The gun show loophole is often cited by gun-control groups as a reason to end the popular gun-shows. They claim that guns are sold without the required background checks, and that criminals often use these shows to acquire guns. The truth is that gun shows are regulated in the same manner as all other gun sales. Firearms dealers, the vast majority of the people selling firearms at gun shows, are legally required to perform FBI background checks on a person before selling them a gun.

The value of an antique firearm, like any commodity, is a function of supply and demand. The more scarce the item and greater collector interest, the greater the value. The first step in determining the value is to properly identify the model and any significant variations or features. Once the firearm is properly identified, it is necessary to access the overall condition of the firearm. While this may seem somewhat subjective, definitive guidelines for grading antique firearms are available.

We recommend that you have any old firearm thoroughly inspected by a professional gunsmith to determine if it is safe to shoot. Antique firearms offered by Dixie are sold as collector items only. Dixie does not imply nor express any warranty for their use in shooting.

antique gun's original finish and patina are of paramount importance to the firearm collector. The value of many an antique firearm has been destroyed by over cleaning and/or refinishing. The only cleaning we recommend is to use oil and extra fine or super fine steel wool (#000 or #0000) and lightly rub the metal surfaces. This should remove surface grim while not harming the finish or patina.
