Just polished off a reprint of Jack O'Connor's early 1950s Gun Book, typical O"Connor wit and common sense. I have probably learned more about firearms, shooting and hunting from reading his stuff than everybody else combined. I think I have just about everything he has authored. Al

This one gave me the slip a few times, but it ended up like all the others, tumbling. H&N resized and weight sorted pellets show a measurable increase in first shot accuracy. SJC

Igloo rotomolded sportsman series. SJC

Went to Walmart's site and see they no longer carry higher end Coolers in their house Ozark Trail brand, might be able to find old stock on a shelf. Al

I have been using Coleman coolers almost from day one and have been satisfied on their performance for how I use them. The old green original steel belt model is a favorite of mine and while they are far cheaper than a Yeti, they still are not what I would call cheap. My big party cooler is also a Coleman and again I am totally satisfied with it. I think some of the Ozark Trail Walmart coolers for the money are a best buy, they have roto formed bodies similar to Yetis but at a much better price. Al

Three years ago I got my own little patch of dirt with a small cabin for bowhunting. I pack a small cooler that I used to take to my son's baseball games with drinks and food but 50% of the ice melts overnight. I went online to see what Bass Pro has to offer but some of those Yeti coolers cost are almost a mortgage payment. Can you recommend a cooler that keeps ice from completely melting Friday to Sunday that doesn't break the bank? Thank you.

I honestly never thought this would pass. It should’ve been passed 10 years ago imo.

Good news. The bill passed in the State Assembly today and it should be moving forward to the Dragon Lady for signature. Hopefully, she will not sit on it [emoji1695]

Only my opinion: I would think, anyone that is transporting ammo across state lines without a FFL back ground check, is breaking New York ammunition laws. Show me where I'm wrong

I have a friend in NC. Every time he comes to NY for a week of work he calls me and asks me what I need. No hassle. Lol

It passed the State Senate and needs to go in front of the Assembly. If approved, the bill will move forward to the Dragon Lady to sign.

Nothing yet. But in my part of the woods it passed! LOL.

I have not seen anything to that effect as of yet. Al

I finished planting my field corn and sweet corn today. I’m glad the 5 day stretch of rain they had predicted was a typical weather forecasting miscue. The fields are drying out real good now and most of the neighbors are cutting hay. A big doe was back checking out my work, when I went back up to the barn for more fertilizer. Hopefully, she hangs around for a few more months so I can get her into the freezer during the early antlerless gun season. I used the new heavy duty compound angling Tufline grader blade, that I recently traded an old disk for, to cut in some ditches in case we get some more heavy rain.

I heard its supposed to go thru to allow xbow for the whole season and remove limb restrictions etc

I may just ship to my buddy in PA and have him bring it when he visits

As stated above, to be legal ammo has to be shipped to an FFL, a genuine pain in the ass and that is what this state loves doing to it's citizens, "make everything gun related as hard as possible"! Being a handloader I can avoid most of this hogwash, but when it comes to rimfire ammo I have to jump through the hoops and pay through the nose. I can mitigate the cost somewhat by ordering in bulk, my FFL is The GunWorks of central NY located in Verona NY, they have a straight fee of $20, so if I purchase a couple of cases of ammo it is still within reason. I buy mostly from Target Sports and they ship directly to GunWorks, when it comes in,I just run over there and get the paperwork out of the way, pay the fee and pickup my ammo. Al
