      Deer Regulation Proposed Changes - Comment Now

      Food for thought: It doesn't matter if you're an archer, BP shooter. Crossbow, Pistol, Rifle or shotgun/hunter, we better speak with one voice. From what I've seen the deer is being managed to maximize income, not for the betterment of the herd.....:@ya:...<><Duce

      HELP!!!!! Homemade gun cleaning solvent????

      Quick silver works great to remove lead fouling. Just plug the barrel, fill and let it stand over night. Warning quick silver is the old term for mecury, posted this just as a curiosity. Kroil removes copper well and is easy on barrels.....:@ya:......<><Duce

      A Little Math Problem

      I hunt deer with a 1894 Marlin in .44 Magnum. I use Winchester white box 240 gr. JSP. The advertized velocity from a 7" barrel is 1180 FPS. My Marlin has a 20" barrel. I did some math to come up with a ball park velocity, out of a 20" barrel. I figured if the Marlin barrel is considered 100%, 7"...
