      Questions from new USPSA Shooter

      I would look at your points % for the match. I try to be around 90% of points at the end of the day. If I'm higher that that (rarely, lol) I know I was probably shooting too conservatively. If I'm lower than that, I was rushing and being sloppy with my sights and I gave away too many points. Hit...

      Hunting for a bow for bow hunting

      Proper fit is the biggest issue for buying a used bow. Id want to maybe have a shop look at it for wear/tear issues, string and cable quality etc. Then have the shop check your draw length to see if the bow is the right size. If its not, it can usually be adjusted or a part swapped out to make...

      HB1231 passes in house- (Centerfire rifles for deer hunting)

      I'm hoping its an non-issue as well. Nothing would make me happier than to spend a few hundred $$ on a new rifle then shoot all the deer I need with my bow.

      It will be clarified soon and then all the talk of sizing down and using "illegal cartridges" will be over. Yes, they DID say your rifling had to be a certain size when they said "30-06 is legal". If you don't have a. 308 caliber bullet in it, its not a .30-06.

      HB1231 passes in house- (Centerfire rifles for deer hunting)

      I get what you're saying, I do a bunch of reloading myself. But if you neck down a .30-06 case to a .270, you no longer have a .30-06. You now have a .270. The law doesn't specify "the case head must be marked as such". The round is the round and if you alter it you don't have that round...

      Morels - 2016

      I love mushroom hunting but my schedule seems to limit how much I can get out. I'll usually sneak around the woods for a little bit if the turkey hunting is slow, lol

      Oh they're in trouble this year....

      Got an Avian Jake last year and was very happy with results/reactions from birds. Just hope I can shoot my bow straighter this year, lol

      Only if all those coming in have private land setup to hunt on. Most people who go out of state end up on public land somewhere and if that's the case, this new law isn't as appealing to them since it changes nothing from previous years.

      Its only March. Firearms season isn't until mid-November. There is plenty time to clarify things, which obviously still need to be done. Lot of ambiguity in what's legal, sucks for whoever has to enforce these things.

      HB1231 passes in house- (Centerfire rifles for deer hunting)

      If that's the case (which is great), then why does this HB1085 even exist, lol. I had not seen the above, so thank you for the link. But the language of HB1085 clearly says it will define who the CLEO is and mandate they certify an application unless there is lawful reason not to. Why do we...

      Im wonderin if that's the plan. Open up a few and see how it goes. If/when there is no major problems, say "anything else in between the smallest and largest is legal".

      No it doesn't. (I added emphasis) "Firearms and certification.
