This is the key point. Pen raised birds can be killed with just about anything. For truly wild birds, bring the artillery. Fiocchi Golden Pheasant loads with 5's or 4's for the wild birds. Plated shot with heavy loads. Lodge in SD that provides ammo uses high brass 5's.

It's better that you supported the local smith. You have the advantage of developing a relationship and he would be more accessible for support if you have problems. So, there is value added for the higher cost.

TarHeel, there is no free lunch. Have you stopped to ask yourself why there are so few gunsmiths in business servicing the pedestrian trade? People will go to their local Chevy dealer and pay $85/hr shop rates for oil changes and tires rotations but bulk at paying a gunsmith the same rate. Would...

Update: Recently available at Creedmoor Sports is a very instructive book on wind reading. Called, "The Wind Book for Rifle Shooters" for $29.95. It is instructional and not a commercial advertisement. It has the content that should have been in this video. This book is well worth the...

Phil, thanks for the response. You are right, you won't find me as a registered competitor. Several years I acquired a rifle capable of being competitive and started shooting F-Class casually in NH at 600 yards and last year here in NE at 1000. I'm in the twilight of my shooting career and at a...

Since I am an old dog, and have been shooting in conditions for decades, I was hoping that the DVD would be more than Huskemaw commercial. This video would be good for neophytes but does nothing for anyone who has already shot competitively at 1000 yards. 90 minutes of wasted time and $40 down...

jwall, you are either missing the point or ignoring it. There are and always have been trophy class deer in PA for hunters with the skills to bring them to bag. I don't remember the PA deer hunters complaining about the quality of the herd when the PGC decided to put their agenda into play...

I am originally from PA. Spent most of my deer seasons in the Hammersley Wilderness Area of Kettle Creek. Used to love still hunting in the big woods after the first three days. That was until the PGC put their point restrictions in place. There was no need for Gary Alt's divine intervention in...

McDonald Sportsmen's Association They go to 600 yards. Shot there many times. The range is set up for BPCR with butts at 200, 300, 385 and 500 meters. They do have a 600 yard butt. The range is flat and on a recovered strip mine. It is open. Mirage can be tricky and the wind doping a...

+1 for this approach. I'd trash the current barrel. I have a 7 RM that performs well enough that I will never part with it. You already have good dies and changing calibers impacts your budget. You should be able to get the best barrel, installed, the action trued and a good quality stock for...

Is this a result of attrition due to wolves? I heard about hunting dogs being killed by wolves there a year ago.

I have a DeLorme PN-60 and previously had a PN-20. I have had older Garmin models and use my GPS's for running tracks while horseback riding. The accuracy and signal acquisition under the forest canopy of the PN-20 was very good and the PN-60 is better. The maps that can be downloaded from the...
