Noted, and I read the edit. Thanks. Nothing bad about making your elected officials know your alive. Letting them know in person what your thoughts are is a great idea. I hope to start this trend here in Trenton in the near future. That is until I eventually move to PA myself sooner than later. I'm pretty happy her parents, and siblings decided to move back from Florida to PA. Now it's not so hard to convince her to move there, and leave this state. It's a dream come true. Now I just have to sell my house, easier said than done.

Affirmative, do you hand your gun off to someone outside before you head inside? I assume there's some kind of a buddy system for that? Or just leave them in the car? I'm definitely down to check it out sometime. I'm sure I can bring my father in law (retired) and possibly my brother-in-law who both live locally, and are both firearms enthusiasts. They both need to become members of some PA 2nd amendment organizations. Which do you recommend?

Gotcha, I figured it was more of a weekday task.

I will be out there next weekend, both Saturday and Sunday. When you canvas, do you just hand out literature to people on the street? Or door knock?

I have the accu-strut, and I'm happy with the performance improvement it provides. Pretty sure I ordered mine on Amazon, a couple years ago.

I'm sure if your somewhat handy you can make one. But they're pretty cheap. Probably more cost effective to buy one.

I actually have an old ranch rifle and I installed a barrel strut on it. Greatly improves accuracy on the older pencil barrel.

Try tier 1 defense, they're on this forum. https://m.facebook.com/TIER1DEFENSE

I'm interested as well. What's the date? And I will PM my experience.

Any idea when the next open cary demonstration in Harrisburg is? I'm actually interested in attending. I've been driving right through there every other weekend lately to get to Manchester where half my family just relocated to. I'm actually really interested in seeing how it's done correctly on the state house steps.

In my happy place!

About 100 or so.

Awesome, I can't wait! It's been pretty chilly in the mornings up here lately, I've been wearing a sweat shirt as the sun goes down. It's not hot this year. Last year I sweat my balls off! I have to get out now, in the colder months I'm slammed at work with no heat emergencies every day. I get out a couple hours here and there I'm lucky once everyone turns on their heat and it dosen't work.

My property has 3 safe ladder stands, all have haul lines on them, bow holders, extra hooks in the trees, and most importantly drink holders lol... I also have a ground blind out if you want to sit in it. I never do, unless I have my nephew with me. Just need a good harness. There's no way you'll get lost in the woods there. I'm surrounded by McMansions walk out in any direction and you will hit one. I have about a 50 yard walk from the road to the stands. So it's a. Easy drag out. I have all the trees marked from the road back to the tree on a path with glow dots. So even in the dark there's no way your getting lost, just connect the dots and it will take you right out. When the people in the neighborhood see my truck parked on the side of the road, they purposely go out in their yards and scare the deer from their yards, into the woods across the street where I sit. They hate the deer, and love seeing me drag out dead ones. The stand I'm putting you in over looks a corn field, no lack of deer there at all. It also has a shooting rail for your Xbow makes taking an accurate shot a little easier. Last Saturday I had 6 deer come out within a 4 hour period. Unfortunately they were all bucks, and no doe. But I do have a bunch of doe on the camera, so good chance we'll see them at the times were going to hunt, I have their patterns and schedule down. I ware a hunter safety system myself, but any harness is fine as long as you have something. As someone else mentioned a range finder is a nice tool to have, but you can live without one. I have one built into my binoculars. It's too early for rattling antlers or doe in heat attractants. Just quiet, sitting still, limited slow movements for early bow. And some basic scent control. A thermacel is a great Idea, and I know you own one so bring it. I always have mine.

I think the mom character, was the head whore "Colette" from Sons of Anarchy. The one that worked the brothel down by the docks, that the crooked ex cop ran. And started banging Jax when Tara walked in on them and she beat the shit out of her. I like her better as a "vagina for hire". And the moms boyfriend/stepdad played "Smiley" in training day, he was gonna blow Ethan Hawke's characters head off in the bathtub with a shotgun. He plays a much better bad ass gang banger in this movie, than the anti gun douchebag in this show.

When it comes to archery the bigger the hole the better, lots and lots of blood is desirable. When the arrow or bolt enters, it plugs the entry wound. Unlike a bullet, or slugs will. So a full pass through is it most desirable. You really have to think about your shot with archery. The best shot is always a diagonal hit, preferably with the animal quartering away. You want to picture the exit wound, not the entrance wound with archery. It's a lot like taking a bumper shot in billiards, it's all about the angle, and hitting the most vital organs as possible for a quick humane kill. As well as a short quick track, and recovery. Heart, liver, and lungs, are the target's. If you hit all three in one, it's called a book shot, thats what every archer strives for. I really like when I don't hit the heart personally, because I like to eat it. Fried, sliced thin, heart sandwiches, on white bread are awesome! When a broadhead hits the heart maceration is almost always the result. I'm pretty good at tracking without blood, but I've been hunting for 28 years. I had great teachers at a young age. I know what to look for and how to tell where an animal walked. But when they leave you a trail of heavy blood behind it's way easier to find. When they're hit, they never take an easy path. They walk through the worst shit you could possibly imagine, every sticker bush, every wet mud hole, all the worst places you wouldn't want to normally walk through. Quick death is a good day for you and the animal.

The first year I did bear was 03 they used to make us go through a program that explains where the bear vitals were, along with some other information exclusively about bear. They don't do it anymore, it's now part of hunter ed I believe. But definitely know that a bear and deer kill zones are not the same. Good post OldSchool!

^^^true. We'll I guess that one way to then finally be able to buy SBR's, SBS's, MG'S, artillery, and pretty much anything else you want to own afterwards. Once your a prohibited person, you can own whatever you want. Just exempt yourself from the laws and buy whatever you want from whomever you want. Plus you basically get a 50 state cary permit, without a permit.

I figured, I bought one from him months ago. He delivered it to me at the last shotgun shootout I attended.

If you're caught carrying consealed without a permit, the least of your worries is a phsyc exam. It's just a stupid law imo. What will it accomplish? It's not like afterwards you will ever be able to purchase a firearm in NJ again legally, unless you're somehow found not guilty, by an act of God.

You also have to look at what your buying. There's some spam cans that cost more than others. Some is match grade, and some is the really cheap surplus stuff. Sportsmen’s guide is about the cheapest I've found other than OG Farmer. He was selling a few cans for the same price as Sportsmen’s guide. Probably gone by now.

I use a Caldwell Lead Sled, love it! One 25lb plate in it. Stays in the same spot every time.

I ordered mine from a guy in Ohio tig welded, beautiful work. He can do just handle, or exchange for a complete bolt, using you old one as a core. Or he sells just the back half of the bolt with the handle done. I bought a complete bolt, it was fully polished, smooth operating, really feels great. I also had him add a safety ring.

Allentown has 2 shows one at the Agroplex, and one at a hotel. The Agroplex is the larger show usually. There are deals to be had at times if you really hunt for them. Still a cool way to spend an afternoon.

Grass kinda dies in August, it's normal. In spring it will come back most likely.
