    Grain size for the 30-06

    First I heard they wouldn't ship here since the ammo check thing was put on hold.

    Don't you have any place near you that sells it? Walmart, Dick's. anything. Unless you can get free shipping a small order can make more sense to buy local.

    Yeah definitely, just looking to find a website for more of a bargain when I find the right ammo

    As some of you know I purchased the savage 116 trophy hunter xp 30-06 the guy at the shop suggested 180 grain so did my friend but when I was shooting today at the range the guy told me to try the 150 said that's what he uses for deer now is it just a personal preference or is one better for deer hunting within 100 yards

    Looking for some

    So I ended up getting a rifle setup, right here is the savage axis 116 trophy hunter 30-06. this is a solid gun with a smooth bolt also came with a 3x9 Nikon scope. Also has a accutrigger which pretty much is the reason I bought it lol . Super happy can't wait to shoot it and sight it in

    Ok now I know I'm a little late on purchasing a gun for hunting season but I just got my hunting license and just found out even though I'm from the city I can buy a gun and leave it out of the 5 boroughs without the long process of the rifle/shotgun permit. Don't know if I want a 12 gauge or a 30-06 I already have a bow just want to know how many ppl on here hunt for deer with a shotgun. I'm leaning more towards the rifle for the longer range then my bow, but also thinking about turkey and maybe waterfowl hunting so just looking for an opinion. Also if u have any particular guns that I should look into just let me know. I know there to totally different guns and I would eventually need one if waterfowl hunting but mostly concerned with deer

    Sorry for the stupid thread topic it won't let me change it lol

    Looking for 60 yard range nyc area

    As someone stated earlier, Blue Mountain in Westchester gives you the opportunity to shoot out to 50. Also you could do the 3D range which has many shots out to that. Be forewarned, the range is in real bad shape, targets suck and you run the risk of damaging your arrows.

    I was there last sunday, but the good news is their only charging half price, $8, as a result. its worth it.

    BTW, fellow Queens hunter, proline is decent but they can get a bit packed. I haven't been to Queens Archery, do you recommend?

    I would recommend queens archery only thing is they open late on week days and out of the two days there's leagues but of you get there when they open or early on weekend it's pretty empty. 12$ if you have your own bow

    hey another queens hunter you shoot @proline in ozone park? cedar creek in valley stream has outdoor field archery idont know the yardages though the guys @ proline would know

    I've only been shooting at queens archery out in flushing I haven't gotten a chance to make it to pro line yet maybe I'll go check them out today.

    As everyone says I'm not planning on taking a deer at 60 yards just want to get some confidence in different ranges instead of being dead accurate at 20 yards and nothing else.

    What make you think you can shoot 60yd's at a 9” target with a hunting head with only 3 weeks before the season. Try 20 or 30 yards first I'm willing to bet you haven't shot more then 50 arrows in the last year. :nono:

    What makes you assume i haven't, why else would I ask about a longer range.

    What would you buy first

    If you're going to be the type that is going to drive up to a spot, hike in a few hundred yards and hunt from there for the day (and there is nothing wrong with that at all), you won't need as much. If you're going to be the type to hike in 5 or 6 miles then your required gear increases drastically. I don't want to recommend hundreds of dollars of gear that you might never use just because I hunt a certain way others might not.

    Very true well for right now I'll probably be more of the walk 100 yards in until I get more comfortable but eventually want to get deep into the woods
