I am hoping to score on some large rifle primers, I would like to buy a bunch if I can get a decent price. Al

Like most wild gamebirds I find them just a tad on the tough side and that can be neutralized with proper cooking, as for the taste I like them a lot. Al

Way to go guys, nothing more fun than hunting with your Dog. Al

Something I look forward to, it will be interesting to see how things go with new regs. Al

Hit the timber late afternoon with the Kimber 22 rifle for the Squirrel opener and took my first Squirrel of this season. After shooting those tiny flies in that Fly Swatter Challenge with that rifle the Squirrel looked as big as an Elephant. Weather was beautiful and the woods had quite a bit of wildlife activity, saw a couple of Deer and a Gray Fox, was great to be out there. Al

Winchester Model 52B, "come on down" you will be the next participant in the Fly Swatter Challenge. Did a bit of work on my vintage model 52, the trigger was a little too light so I increased the weight of pull just a tad. I was also not getting the scope aligned and back to my eye exactly where I wanted. So a pair of a little higher extension rings brought the scope back where it needed to be and at the right height for my eyes.. This rifle had a single shot style magazine installed, it was too time consuming to load one round at a time so I acquired a five shot magazine. The vintage Redfield 3200 scope is a fine and accurate piece of equipment but very slow to get focused right where I want it compared to the newer scopes of today. It took me some time to get this Winchester right but when they are right they will shoot and it is understandable why they are called the King Of 22s. Al

Some nice table and bench tops. Al

To be on the safe side you can log on to their website and put in your name and it will tell you when your new certification is due, that is what I did last spring and for me it was Sept 1st. Al

There are vendors on Gunbroker that have it for sale, you can still buy powder and get it shipped to your door. Al

Reassembled and checked the trigger weight on a trigger scale and got a consistent crisp 3/1/2 lbs, much improved over the factory setup. If there is one thing I do not tolerate on a firearm it is a lousy trigger, a lot of aggravation getting this one where I wanted but worth it in the end. Al

I am going to be getting up to crossbow speed shortly, I picked up one of those Excaliburs that I have not shot much that I want to get at once I get done messing around with other equipment. One thing for sure it is a heck of a lot different than my Bows. Al

Too bad about this outfit folding, once the big mess hits the fan in September there will likely be more dealers closing shop because of all the Democrat's regulations. Al

I hear you, this deal was a perfect example of just that, some Dremel work and needle files got the parts to fit and function. She is all together now so I just have to test fire and makes sure all is well. Al

Been messing with a Nighthawk drop in trigger installation on my 1911 all morning, if I did not shave my head I would be pulling what hair I have out. While the trigger is supposed to be drop in, slight manufacturing tolerances require a bit of hand fitting. I think I have finally got it licked but I need a break before my head explodes. Got the trigger in and working great, just need to grind a small amount of metal off of one of the thumb safeties and hopefully everything will work as engineered when I get this mess back together. Al

Watching that video above of those Boys knocking down pigeons with those Oneida Bows inspired me to get out my old Oneida AeroForce lever bow and sling a few myself. Instinctive with fingers is the way I use this vintage baby, arrows are old Easton XX75s aluminums, it was fun but the skeeters were out bad and drove me back in the house LOL!

I do not think it is too late, the crop farm I worked on when I was a kid would be planting winter wheat or rye now, I think you should get decent results if you get at it. Al

Can't blame Mudd Creek for bailing, the hassle for the sport shops is becoming overbearing and that is the Democrat's plan, the noose is getting tighter. The part these Democrat morons can not get into their heads is it really only hurts the legal sportsmen. It will have a zero effect for the dirtbag criminals shooting up the cities, they will get their ammo and keep on blasting away. Al

I agree that letting a Deer hang for a few days to age works, as long as I have some cool weather I will let them hang. Warm weather requires immediate processing as I do not have a walk in cooler or spare fridge to prevent spoiling. Al

Kimber HS Hunter, come on down, you are the first contestant for the "Fly Swatter Challenge. Kimber has had the trigger adjusted to where I like it and a higher powered Simmons 6.5X20 44 mag scope mounted in place of the Nikon 3X9. Ammo is Wolf Match Extra. I could not be more pleased with this Kimber, 24 hits out of twenty five, she shoots. The trigger job and the high powered scope made all the difference. The score would not count in a real match, I took too much time as I only have one magazine and have to stop and fill the magazine. Like Rimfire challenge matches it is best to have 5 magazines loaded and ready to exchange. Magazines for this Kimber are quite pricey. Next up is the Winchester Model 52B. Al

It is not hard to get one, they make it time consuming with a lot of hoops to jump through to try and make it a pain in the ass hassle so you won't bother. I say go for it as handguns are a lot of fun for both target and hunting, I think it is well worth the effort. Al

I get most of my motorcycle and atv accessories for either ebay or amazon, you can find just about anything you want, the prices are fair and they have customer reviews which many times play a major role for me. Al

My calendar has a reminder showing me that my handgun permit is up for recertification the first of September so I went online to the recertification site and did what I had to do. I had quite a few updates I had to make but it went pretty smooth and without a hitch. With a concealed carry permit it is only good for three years before having to be done again. I do not know if a notification is sent out if you are coming due, I didn't get one so it is probably a good idea to check and find out what your due date is. Al

Not just NY City, the Democrats are sucking the whole country into the shitter with their libtard-commie agenda, we have a big time mess on our hands. Al

With all the shooting going on I thought the local Turkeys would get out of Dodge but apparently they get used to the gunfire, they were out scratching around on the range not long after a session. I saw another hen out there with a single poult. Al

A video of some wing shooting with archery equipment. I have seen some Pheasant hunting done with a bow but knocking down pigeons in flight is pretty darn tough. I have noticed for what I would term snap shooting, many of these archers use lever bows. I have an older Oneida Aeroforce lever bow that I refurbished, it has really grown on me. Did not care for them at first but after shooting one they grow on you fast. The arrow tips are something I have not seen before. Some Hare hunting later in the video, there was a time when there were huntable numbers of Hare in NY. Al
