Check to the DEC website. All the state forest land is clearly described.

Stewart State Forest is 3M. I avoid Stewart like the plague during deer season. I'll hunt squirrels and other small game there during the September, January, and February. Shotguns and bows only. Sterling is too far South for me considering how close I am to the Catskills.

Get the Nikon Prostaff Rimfire 3-9x40. You won't regret it.

Tigers prefer "long pig".

My 223 is hungry for free range pills pork.

Bounties don't always work. There's a thing called the "Cobra Effect." It is also called the law of unintended consequences. It is when when a law has the opposite effect as intended. Well intentioned laws or regulations can often do more harm than good. Pigs are easy enough to breed where...

The vital region on a white-tail deer is pretty large. While I understand the desire for precision in such things, you probably don't need to be particular when you are hunting deer in New York State. 1 MOA is excellent for factory hunting loads. I'm betting you can hit the vital region...

An old bowhunter told me how to reckon the POI when shooting from an elevated position. It was a simple and instinctive thing that he knew because he has shot a bow 1,000 times. I went home and did a little geometry and found he was 100% correct. I've learned not to doubt age and experience...

Trying to practice at 40 yards. I keep breaking arrows. It s getting kind of expensive. I might keep most of my practice at 15 yards. Just to save arrows.

I've been doing the same this week. Only two months to get in shape.

3M and 3J

Maybe they will expand early bear season.

Eye of the beholder... Sex with rifles is unsanitary.

It's better to shoot good good than to look good. Every AR is pretty ugly. Also, beauty is only a light switch away.

I smell a case of bovine resentment.

You should change your scenario to something more plausible. Hillary 2020 is about as likely as Alien Invasion 2020. I can't take it seriously.

I'm thinking either a Mini-14, a compliment AR, or something in 6.5 creedmoor that I can mod up. But, for now, the rifles I own are filling up my dance card.

You can get 5 round mags for a Ruger 10/22. I'd get a CZ455 American.

Those were just the two ammo types I shot that day. There is no other meaning to the comparison.

I don't understand breaking a rifle to make it compliant. Legality aside, The only reason to use this mod is that you want something that looks like a fully featured rifle. I love a great looking rifle. But, I think function is more important. Even with a tweak or work around, you need a...

In the end, the people who enforce the law will say and a lawsuit will determine the right of it. To me, gimping a rifle by fixing the mag or disabling auto-loading to make it complient is falling into the same mindset as the anti-gunners who wrote this bad law. A law that focuses on what a gun...

I'm not a lawyer. But, the defining feature of an auto loading firearm is a mechanism that removes the spend case and loads a new cartridge into the chamber without the shooter having to actuate the action. The distinction being that the new cartridge is not loaded automatically. But, they...

Trump won where he needed to. This is the way Republicans win. He's the President. End of story.

One round arguments don't make much sense when I own three rifles just for hunting squirrels.

It is a hidden gem. Keep it nice.

Only what you bring yourself. Remember that DEC State Forest rules prohibit using trees as targets. Your might want to invest in a inexpensive target stand.

You laugh. But, I've seen people do this.

As long as you can see the target.

Actually, I was suggesting you avoid the place at those times. (Just kidding)

If you go there Saturday or Sunday morning before 8 am, you might meet me. I just got a new 4 inch AR 500 target for 100 yards.

I've been going there for years. I've met other shooters twice. I wish there was a spot to shoot beyond 100 yards. But, for pistols, shotguns and rimfires, it is great,

I grabbed two boxes of 22LR ammo on the way to the range today. RWS Target LRN 40 gr. $10 Aguila Super Extra High Velocity Copper-Plated RN 40 gr. $5 I thought you guys might like discussing the difference in accuracy in high-velocity and standard velocity ammo. The rifle was a Ruger 10/22...

I hope they will run these classes on a regular basis. I haven't owned any handguns since I left Vermont 20 years ago. I'd live to be able to shoot one again. I just need enough friends to get the proper character references.

I think open carry should be the standard for handguns. It was commonplace in Vermont when I was growing up.

I measured all 20 3 round groups. The data below. I shot at Davis in Goshen. It is a 100 yard indoor range. I used a bipod and a rear bag. This is the field configuration I've been using. The scope is a Nikon Prostaff 5 4.5-14x40 BDC.

It's a different game. One is for the shooter, the other is for the rifle. Bench shooting is all about fine tuning a rifle and load. You can spend your life just doing that. But, if you're a hunter, you also practice in different shooting positions, both off hand and supported. If your a...

Standard 55 gr. I think they designed the stuff for AR. The box was $299. That is about 37.5 cents a round. That is slightly more than it cost me to reload. But, I should have a lifetime supply of Norma cases. 100 round bulk boxes of American Eagle AR223 are like $45 a box at Walmart...

I cast another vote of Nikon 3-9x40 Prostaff Rimfire. I own A Nikon camera as well. I've spent way more in lenses than rifles. What are you planning to shoot?
