    I seem to have a little trouble finding exactly what I'm looking for here when I use the vBulletin's built-in search feature. Instead, I head over to Google and search like this:

    "best shooting range" site:texasguntalk.com
    This will return all threads with the exact phrase "best shooting range"

    handloads site:texasguntalk.com
    This will return all threads with the word handloads

    "Gander Mountain" -academy site:texasguntalk.com
    This will return all threads with the phrase Gander Mountain but will omit the thread if academy is in there

    Keep in mind that a lot of ppl (pun intended) abbreviate Gander Mountain to GM, Carter's Country to CC, Wal-mart to wally world, etc. so you have to get creative to find what you're looking for. I found a lot of information here by using Google. Chances are, if it's not something particularly new, it's already been discussed and can be dug up by searching. :)

    Also, using Google to search TGT reduces the number of queries on the server. In other words, Google's computer's do all the work instead of TGT's server.

    Hope this helps!
