I came across this cartoon yesterday. It illustrates a question I’ve had for a long time now about the David and Goliath story.
When I was a little kid, I learned the story of how David, a boy with no military experience, went up against Goliath, a giant warrior. David hit Goliath with a stone from his “slingshot,” which miraculously hit the giant Philistine in a vulnerable place right between his eyes and killed him.
The picture I formed was of a Dennis-the-menace like kid with a toy slingshot going up against an ogre. For the kid to win was certainly a miracle!
The actual story as related in nach is somewhat different.
David was a young man, not a little boy, and he used a sling, not a slingshot. I suppose my first-grade rebbe can be excused for not knowing much about obsolete weaponry, but the difference between a slingshot and a sling is enormous. Even a real slingshot (as opposed to a toy made with a forked twig and a rubber band) propels a projectile with about the same force as a BB gun. A sling, on the other hand, is a deadly weapon. From Wikipedia:
A sling is a projectile weapon typically used to throw a blunt projectile such as a stone. It is also known as the shepherd's sling.
A sling has a small cradle or pouch in the middle of two lengths of cord. The sling stone is placed in the pouch. Both cords are held in the hand, then the sling is swung and one of the two cords is released. This frees the projectile to fly on a tangent to the circle made by the pouch's rotation. The sling derives its effectiveness by essentially extending the length of a human arm, thus allowing stones to be thrown several times farther than they could be by hand.
The sling is very inexpensive, and easy to build. It has historically been used for hunting game and in combat.
Until the invention of firearms slingers were used in combat in the same way as archers. Unlike a bow, though, slings were easy to make and fired stones or cheap lead bullets instead of expensive arrows. This was not a toy. As a shepherd, David would have had experience using a sling to defend his sheep from predators. In the hands of an expert, a sling was as deadly as a pistol.
The encounter, then, was not a little kid with a toy challenging the Philistine champion. It’s more like the scene from Indiana Jones where Indy, confronted by a large man who is clearly an expert swordsman, pulls out a revolver and shoots him. All of a warrior’s skill counts for nothing if the other guy has a gun – or a sling.
So why is the incident treated as a miracle?
One reason might be that, until very recently, it was assumed that the outcome of combat depended, not on the skill of the soldiers and generals, but on the will of God. As recently as the American Civil War, General Robert E. Lee, after ordering an assault on the center of the Union line at Gettysburg (despite the protests of his subordinates), said that the result was “In God’s hands.” Lee, a master tactician, felt that tactics mattered for nothing when compared to God’s will. This sentiment was even stronger in the ancient world. Thus the outcome of a battle was seen as nothing less than the manifestation of God’s will – a miracle. The unusual circumstances of a shepherd defeating a seasoned warrior (and the shepherd boy going on to become king) are what made this particular encounter memorable.
Another possibility is that the unusual aspects of the encounter are themselves the reason the incident is considered miraculous. Even today, someone who survives a situation where he might have been killed often calls his survival a “miracle” even if there was nothing supernatural about it. Even though there was nothing supernatural about David shooting Goliath in the head, the fact that David came through the encounter in one piece might itself be reason enough to call the incident a miracle.
So, would we consider it a miracle today? If a teenaged farm boy armed with the pistol he uses to shoot at coyotes faced off against a master swordsman in single combat and won by shooting the swordsman between the eyes from twenty feet away, would that be a miracle?


Arms & Armour
Arms & Armour
One of the oldest known surviving documents that references the use of gunpowder is Chinese and dates from AD 1044. This formula for gunpowder was eventually passed through nearby India and then Persia before reaching the Arabs, with the first reported use of gunpowder in Europe occurring during an Arab siege in Spain in AD 1324. It is this use of gunpowder and firearms that ultimately allowed the Ottoman Turks to crush the armies of Aq Qoyunlu, the Safavids, Mamluks and Eastern Europe in the 15th and 16th century AD. The Mamluk Sultanate, like most Muslim states of the Middle East at this time, intensely disliked the use of firearms in warfare and resisted their adoption until they were eventually defeated by the Ottomans. Upon the Mamluk Amir Kurtbay’s defeat at the battle of Marj Dabiq in AD 1516, he was brought before the Ottoman Sultan Selim the Grim and is recorded to have lamented “We are the people who do not discard the Sunna (practices) of our Prophet Muhammed (PBUH), which is the jihad (Holy War) for the sake of Allah with sword and lace. And woe to thee! How darest thou shoot firearms at Muslims?”. The success that the Ottomans enjoyed on the battlefield is what lead to the adoption of firearms across the Islamic world and India. The importance of the adoption and use of firearms in the Near and Middle East cannot be cannot be underestimated, with their use ultimately working to shape the history of the entire region.
The Tareq Rajab Museum houses an important collection of arms and armour. As well as a collection of swords, daggers and armour, the most notable part of the arms & armour collection is the Islamic firearms, of which there are over 150 from Spain to South-East Asia and almost every country in between. Notable firearms include an exceptionally fine pair of gold inlaid, silver-gilt-mounted Turkish flintlock holster pistols (AD 1800), a magnificent Algerian miquelet flintlock gun, silver-mounted and inlaid with hundreds of fine shaped pink corals (AD 1793) and a remarkable gold-mounted Malayan matchlock gun (AD 1700).
Other notable objects in the Museum, aside from the extensive firearms collection include a beautiful intricately carved buffalo-hide and leather shield from India (AD 1886) along with a number of Arabian swords and daggers constructed with the use of precious metals, and many intricately designed gun powder flasks.

And making assumptions can be very bad. most people consider .22 long rifle ammo to be the best choice for cheap plinking, And I agree. But what other uses does it get? Some minor varmint hunting, usually used to finish off a trapped coon or possum. And never suggested for home defense or self defense in general. I'd still say that is a good piece of advice, but just how much of a punch can those little .22lr rounds pack? Because most people would assume that those little rounds of ammo won't cause any harm to much more than a small varmint...
Well I decided to do a little testing. Rifle used was a model 67 Winchester single shot with 28" barrel
Ammo Winchester 37g JHP "super speed"
Distance 10 yards
Target - steel sheet (.042") backed up by aluminum plate (.2")
I set the steel sheet and the aluminum plate up with a C clamp holding both to either side of a 1/4" thick steel plate so there was a 1/4" gap between the steel and aluminum, Steel was the first target in line.
And here it the results. The bigger hole is from the .22 to the right of it is a hole from a .223 (not related to this test, I aimed near it for a comparison.)
The bullet actually wedged itself into the aluminum divot ( I could not remove it, even with high heat and trying to scrape it out)
The other side of the aluminum, it bulged out almost 1/4" and it made over a 2 inch diameter circle for the total area bulged out.
Shooting stuff is fun, And I'm going to pick up more of this ammo!


Information on what equipment the group has
A R23 Citroen truck. Originally issued to the French forces after the invasion of France. Citroen continued to make trucks during the war for the German Army. This particular version 4.2 ton, was seen to be a standard German Vehicle. They saw action on all fronts.
1943 Willy’s Jeep:
The group has at its use at most events a 1943 Willy’s Jeep. The vehicle the unit uses as a captured vehicle. Panzer Lehr captured hundreds of these vehicles throughout the war and utilised them. As you can see in the picture its done up with the flag on the bonnet for aircraft identification and pennants on the rear so ground troops can tell it’s been captured.
Two Motorbike’s and side cars:
The group has two bikes both of which are replica BMW R75’s. This is an on-going project for the group to get them running and looking the part.
The group has a panzershreck which at this time is a replica. The intention is to convert this to fire black powder charges, like seen in the groups old Panzerschreck pictured.
Granatwerfer 34 (German 81mm Mortar):
The most recent acquisition is a blank firing replica of the German Mortar, which simulates firing as it was done by the troops who used it during World War two. The group make an effort to learn the drill and often apply this in battle re-enactments.
The group also owns a replica PAK 36 which fires a black powder charge. This works, but is an ongoing project by the group to improve it.
The group members also own many of the guns used by the German army whether they are deactivated or purpose built blank firing weapons and in some case live weapons.
Members are happy at events to answer any questions you may have about any of the weapons you see here or wish to know about.

Bowie knives play an important role in American history. They are associate with some of the most epic moments, from the Alamo to the Civil War. Let’s separate fact from fiction and discover the history of the Damascus Bowie Knife.
What is a bowie knife?
It is believe that the Bowie knife was originally a series of designs develop by Jim Bowie over several years. The “normal” historical Bowie knife has the following characteristics:
- Blade length: 6-12 inches
- Blade width: 1.5-2 inches
- so, Blade thickness: 1/4 inch
- False edge along the back of the blade
- Large guard or guard
James Bowie was a pioneer and soldier and is known as one of the soldiers who die defending the Alamo. It is dispute who made the first Bowie knife and who designee it, and there seems to be no definitive answer. It is likely that Jim Bowie was involve in the design, and it is fairly certain that Jim Bowie was the one who made it famous.
What is certain is that Jim Bowie’s knife design became popular after the Sand Bar Duel of 1827. Jim Bowie was supporting one of the duelists when he was attacks by the other side. Although he was shot and stabbed, Jim Bowie kill his main attacker with his knife. After this incident, Jim Bowie became known as one of the best knife fighters in the world, and others began to request copies of his knife.
The term Bowie knife can be use to describe any large sheath knife. However, true Bowie knives are still being made. Damascus that makes several modern Bowie knives.
Popularity of bowie knife
Many variations of the bowie knife. Some use this name to describe any large sheathed knife. In the Civil War, Confederate soldiers made huge knives call Bowie D-Guard knives.
Even though they thought they look more like short swords. Bowie knives are still very popular with collectors and there are many spin offs such as the Ka-Bar. This is a knife base on the Bowie design. Ernest Emerson use Bowie as the logo on his folding bowie knife.
Perfect 5 – inch Bowie knife
There are several things you need to think about before you buy a 5-inch Bowie knife.
1.5-Inch Bowie Knives are becoming more and more popular every day. A 5-inch blade is large enough to give you MASSIVE cutting power, but still small enough to be easily hidden.
Bowie knives can be either hollow ground or flat ground. In a hollow ground bowie knife, the blade is thick at the back at first and then “tapers” to a much thinner edge.
- A flat ground bowie knife will not be quite as thin. If you plan to use your knife for slicing, chopping, or other hard work, you should choose a flat ground blade. For thinner and more precise cuts, I recommend a bowie knife with a hollow grind.
- If your 5-inch bowie knife is to be use for display purposes only, then the handle probably just needs to look nice.
- Bowie knives with micarta and stag horn handles make nice display pieces. The downside to these handle materials is that they can be a bit slippery.
- Rubber or plastic handles may not look as nice, but they do a much better job of protecting your hands and fingers from slipping.
- 5-inch Bowie knives with high carbon steel stay sharp for a very long time. These same blades rust very quickly if you don’t take care of them.
- High carbon bowie knives are also somewhat difficult to sharpen because of their hardness.
- Stainless steel bowie knives are much less prone to rust, but also lose their sharpness much faster. They are also softer than high carbon blades and much easier to sharpen.
What makes this knife so good?
Three layers of laminated steel. Most bowie knives are made from a single piece of steel. High carbon steel stays sharp for a long time, but can be brittle and prone to breakage.
A piece of softer, more flexible 400 series stainless steel is then fold on either side of the VG-1 for the ultimate compromise between sharpness and flexibility.
- 9.5-Inch Blade, The blade is flat ground, which means it is the same thickness from the spine to the edge.
- The flat ground blade is ideal for chopping or cutting as it is much less likely to break or crack under pressure.
- Continuous tang construction. Cold Steel makes its Trail Master Bowie with a full tang construction. This means that the blade steel goes all the way through to the end of the handle. You’ll be glad your Bowie is made with a full tang because it adds so much more strength to the knife.
- Super thick blade, Many bowie knives you see these days have blades that are only 3/16″ thick. Cold Steel takes it up a notch with their Trail Master and gives it a 5/16″ thick blade.
- This in turn helps reinforce the fact that the Cold Steel Trail Master is among the best bowie knives in the world.
Uses of bowie hunting knife
The classic hunting knife is the bowie knife. This large knife was designee in 1830 and is known for helping its owner Jim Bowie defend the Alamo. Over time, there have been several modifications. Often the Bowie knife is confuse with a heavier dagger, the “Arkansas toothpick”.
Knives are use as a survival
Among the features of the Damascus Bowie Knife is a notch at the base of the blade near the handle call the “Spanish Notch”. Historians still argue about the exact purpose of this notch. Another interesting feature is the fact that the point is lower than the spine. This unique design is call the “clip point”.
Knives are use primarily for survival. A knife of particular importance is the hunting knife.
- These fixe blade weapons were mainly use for cutting and not for stabbing like a dagger. The length of the blade varies depending on the intended use. Most hunting knives have a curve blade that makes it easier to cut through objects.
- The more curve the blade, the easier it is for a hunter to skin animal carcasses.
- As humans, we could make knives out of anything that was accessible to us. Bones, stones, and teeth are some of the available objects from which excellent cutting tools could be made.
- Attaching a sharpened piece of stone to a stick and securing it with a piece of string made from animal skin or gut was an ingenious invention that led to the spear, axe, hatchet, arrow and knife.
- Centuries of trial and error led to vast improvements in design. As people entered the Bronze and Iron Ages, they refined knife making into a true science.
- Hunting knives are single-edged. Some are serrated and have hollow handles that allow for the storage of items that may be useful in the field. These types of knives are call survival knives, which were issue to aircrews as standard equipment during World War II.
Bowie knife a historic knife
A number of features contribute to the fact that this type of knife is perhaps the most famous in the history of the United States, at least in terms of knives. It usually has a blade that is at least six inches long and can grow to a foot or more in length.
At this size, it more closely resembles a short sword than a knife. The length of the knife corresponds to the width of the blade, which is usually between one and a half and two inches wide.
Wide blade of Bowie knife
The wide blade makes it a small hatchet or machete for the hunter who needs to chop wood to start a fire or to make a place for a tent or other shelter for the night.
- For hunters, the curve tip of a bowie knife is ideal for the finer work of skinning while the guard protects hands.
- Anglers use the curve tip to clean fish and prepare fillets for a quick dinner around the campfire.
- Hikers and backpackers appreciate the fact that the bowie knife is versatile, eliminating the need for additional tools and reducing the weight of the backpack or hiking pack.
- At the same time, the fact that the knife is not double-side ensures greater safety when carrying and using the knife.
- These knives typically use a high carbon steel that both does not require repeat sharpening to maintain the edge and is flexible enough that it will not break under the stress of daily use.
While the properties of the steel have been vital to the reputation of Bowie knives throughout their history, this is one area where modern science has yet to catch up with the secrets of the original makers.
Black, the blacksmith credit with making the original knife Bowie carried and which made him famous during his lifetime, die before revealing his secrets for blade strength, and his process could not be duplicate even by modern means.
Today’s Bowie knives tend to have more elaborate handles and decorative elements, but the balance and clean lines have not change much since the originals.
High carbon stainless steel blades are combine with composite steel handles, sometimes bone, wood or metal, to create a beautiful yet useful product. The handles are even embellish with decorative elements of brass, silver or gold.

The Adamant is a compact, well armored, but slow vessel. It is often used as a tank in the early game campaign or against weak skirmish opponents, protecting less well armored vessels such as Manticores and Berzerks.
With just four light turrets per side, the Adamant does not deal much damage itself, but rather enables other vessels to deal damage instead. With a squadron and munition slot, the Adamant also brings some useful utility to your fleet. S
Early Game Tank
With significantly more armor than the Manticore and Berzerk classes, the Adamant is a good tank for early in the campaign, or skirmishes against weaker enemies. Try placing your Adamant between the enemy and your weaker ships, and make sure it is the first vessel to enter the enemies missile range so it can soak up the damage. Enemy AI has a tendency to target stronger ships over weaker ones anyway, so this shouldn't be too difficult. If your Adamant starts to take damage, consider switching to a defensive posture, and moving to position your damaged armor sections away from enemy fire.
Broadsides and Positioning
The Adamant only has turrets on the left and right of the ship, so you will need to line up the side of your ship to the enemy for a 'broadside' to be able to damage them. This isn't always easy to do due to the ship's low mobility. Consider displaying the turret firing arcs by pressing the backslack key (\) to help with this.
The weak armor on the front of the ship is another good reason to keep your side to the enemy. Armor on the bottom of the Adamant is also relatively weak. Since its turrets are mounted on the top and have no trouble targetting vessels above them, you should try and approach enemies from below.
Try not to rely on Adamants for damage
With just four light turrets on each side, the Adamant does not deal much damage. If you have the Reinforcement Pack, consider using Adamant and Berzerk class ships together. Use the well armored Adamant to soak up damage, and position your Berzerk behind it to deal damage with 5x medium turrets.
Wall of Death
One common and effective early game tactic is to form a 'wall of death' or 'stack' of adamants. Place 2 - 3 of the ships above eachother and focus fire on a single ship at the time. If you have weaker ships such as Berzerks in your fleet, use the Adamants to shield these from enemy fire.
Unlike Battlestars, which have flak walls, Adamants have no built in missile protection. If using them to tank, consider initially assigning the ships's viper squadron to defend it. They can then intercept any incoming enemy missiles which the AI commonly launches when your ships first come into range. Vipers are however less effective at intercepting torpedoes. Later in the game (or in skirmish and multiplayer mode), EMP Mines and Sweepers offer more effective alternatives.
Don't forget that if your squadron is taking damage, it can be recalled to the ship to heal up. Even if only a single craft makes it back, the entire squadron can be regenerated over time.
Adamants in the late game
Later in the campaign, Adamants will be outclassed by other ships (namely, the Artemis Battlestar, which performs a similar role but does it better). Adamants can still offer some utility by carrying nukes, but be careful not to get them too close to the action as they will quickly take damage.
Alternatively, in campaign mode, having a fleet commander by an office stationed at a colony will 'fortify' it, increasing it's Quorum status and the resources provided. It doesn't matter how big the fleet is, a single Adamant with an officer will do the job. This can be a good way of using Adamants which have been replaced by more powerful ships in your fleet.
Comparisons with the Berzerk
The Adamant is often compared with the Berzerk, as they are both early game light carriers. However, they are very different ships. The Adamant is well armored, with weak turrets, making it suitable as a front-lining tank, while the Berzerk is poorly armored but with far stronger turrets, making it more suited to dishing out damage while being protected by other ships. The Berzerk also lacks a munitions slot.


President Obama has proposed a $1 trillion plan to “modernize” the US nuclear arsenal over the next 30 years. This massive investment in new nuclear weapons is immoral, unnecessary and wasteful. Would you (our representative) oppose spending taxpayer dollars on new nuclear weapons?
Friends Committee on National Legislation (the Quakers) or FCNL have offered this list for us to Ask our Congressional representatives. Decisions made in the next few years regarding nuclear weapons policy will be shaped in part by what the constituents share with our representatives this election year. Let us consider our positions and make inquiries.
The Pentagon is developing a new nuclear cruise missile that former Secretary of Defense William Perry has called a “grave mistake”. This weapon could lead to a new arms race. Would you (our representative) support cancelling plans to build new nuclear cruise missile?
The most serious nuclear threat today comes from not a nuclear war with Russian but from a small “dirty bomb” made from nuclear material acquired on the black market or from unsecured facilities. Yet US funding for nonproliferation programs has stagnated. Would you( my representative) support increases in nonproliferation funding to clean up loose nuclear material around the world?
For me I hold that War is not healthy for children and other living things.
well being to each of us.

Safety and security systems have progressed with additional procedures, such as locating a depression unit in the barrel stock which won’t enable the trigger to be pulled unless it is depressed.
Rises, the pieces between arm or legs and also where the suggestion of the Arrowhead sits, are machined with lightweight elements and act to maintain the general limb as well as string assembly and boost efficiency.
Parts of a Crossbow
Riser: Where the limbs attach
Cocking Stirrup: Utilized to aid in cocking the crossbow. The archer’s foot is positioned in the brace to prevent the bow from sliding when it is cocked.
Barrel: Constructed from aluminum or polymer. A grooved track that (trip groove) permits the arrowhead to depend on best positioning with the string for regular accuracy.
Stock: Made of timber or composite products and also offered in many configurations.
Limbs: Can be a compound or recurve. A recurve crossbow should have long limbs and also a longer barrel to deliver power much like that of a composite crossbow.
Latch Mechanism: Designed to catch the string when the crossbow is cocked (pulled), the handle holds the string in place until the trigger launches it.
Sight Bridge: Holds the view
Arrow Retention Spring: Holds the arrow in the track until the trigger launches the Latch system.
Safety: May involves instantly or by hand when the weapon is cocked. Some crossbow has a double safety and security system. To avoid the accidental release point the loaded crossbow in a safe direction.
Consider a Crossbow Package
It is further essential to have in mind that most producers use their crossbow in a bundle, which includes every little thing that needed during the shoot the weapon.
Some makers even require using arrowheads (also known as bolts) constructed mainly for their crossbows. This could add significantly to the total cost as well as needs not to be forgotten when setting a budget.
When a budget plan is established, attention ought to turn towards private demands as well as personal choices. A lot of crossbows designed for hunting have drawn weights from 125 pounds as well as 225 pounds.
This large draw weight is called compensate for the short power stroke that crossbows possess. A greater draw weight does not necessarily associate to a quicker bow.
As technology advances, some outstanding speeds are being acquired from crossbows with light draw weights. With some bow styles, a greater draw weight is essential to accomplish a certain level of efficiency. Don’t think that a greater draw weight equals to higher doing weapon.
Greater draw weights make crossbow a lot tougher to cock. If you are healthy, you must be able to cock most crossbow with the use of a rope aid.
Having the ability to cock the crossbow pleasantly must be your primary concern after establishing a spending plan.
Feet per second (FPS) could be one more complicating variable when acquiring a new crossbow. Average speeds for hunting crossbows vary from 260 feet per second to 400 feet per second.
The downside speed is the level of noise as well as vibration-released at the shot. Greater speeds additionally raise the degree of deterioration on the weapon itself and also have the tendency to make proper Arrowhead.
A weapon is shooting a correctly trained arrow in the high of 200 feet per second sufficient to gather any significant hunting game animal in The North America within accepted archery distances.
The bulk of various other crossbow does not go beyond 340 FPS of shooting speed. The Ghost 410 has a monstrous 410 FPS, which means that it could generate up to 150 ft-lbs. Using a chronograph, I computed the rate to be 406 FPS, which is as close as it obtains to a producer declaration.
The weight of this crossbow is 7.1 extra pounds as well as it is just one of the lightest substance crossbow offered out there. The buck commander extreme is made up of all carbon and lightweight aluminum, and that’s the only reason, it is light in weight. It is portable that’s why it is very easy to use either hand or on a tree stand.
The BCX can do a lot of astonishment which a hunter ever desire. It has every one of the devices, so you can enjoy searching right out of the package. It can shoot arrowheads at the rate of 365 feet per second, and it can create the 118 ft/ Lbs of moving power that can take the arrowhead deep inside the target.
The precision with the weapon is terrific, thanks to the illuminated 3 × 32 range. The durable, well balanced and lightweight layout make it very easy to bring and also easy to use. It is incredibly comfortable.
Using an innovative layout, the Barnett Jackal weapon includes a shiny, military-style supply with a split foregrip for comfortable hand placement. Prepared to shoot right out of the box, this plan consists of a quick-detach quiver, screws, and also a premium red dot view.
The quad limb is setting up in integrated with high power wheels as well as a synthetic string and cable method producing arrow speeds of 315 feet per second. The combination of the lightweight supply and also the power this bow delivers makes it a terrible weapon for any hunter.
It likewise features Barnett’s New ADF MIM activate attending to a smooth 3.5-pound trigger pull and also the added benefits of a Picatinny rail (which supplies a mounting platform). New for 2011- Barnett introduces the Jackal Crossbow Bundle.
The Jackal’s stock style is one-of-a-kind to our weapon line up.The weight and also power of this bow makes a devastating tool for any hunter. The Jackal delivers the power and also attributes of a “high-valued” bow at a price that makes this crossbow a superb worth for everyone.
The Ghost 360 shoots arrowheads up to 360 fps, with almost 115 ft. pounds. This will blast your arrowheads vane-deep into most target blocks, and also will knock the target block over in the procedure. Make sure you have obtained your target block propped up versus something solid to make you’re capturing less annoying.
Spotting in this xbow was a bit more difficult than I’m accustomed to because the scope install is very picky. You almost need to utilize a degree to earn sure everything is set up right, which is extremely uncommon with your criterion “screw it into a Picatinny rail” range and ring configuration.
Once I had verified every little thing, though, I had the ability to obtain the extent sighted in and also ready to examine the precision of the xbow.
From 25 lawns, I might preserve collections so limited that my arrowheads were all touching each other.
From 30 lawns, I had a pattern almost a quarter of an inch in diameter, as well as 40 backyards generated the same pattern, merely a tad little bit bigger. Beyond 40 backyards, however, I could just stick to a 1″ design, because the range does not give a reticle or other aiming factor stable enough for longer varieties.
The remarkably efficient and exact Penetrator, from prominent archery company Barnett, has an innovative layout with shoot-through foot stirrup and also a 12-inch power stroke efficient in producing shooting speeds of as much as 350 feet-per-second.
More than just powerful, it’s also secure and also smooth to operate, with a major five-to-one safety, safety factor, Crosswire string and cable system with high energy whiplash cams for much faster, quieter shots.
The bow has an Anti-Dry Fire (ADF) that is brand-new, Metal Injection Molding (MIM) trigger system with easy 3.5-pound trigger pull, and also has a distinct crank attachment constructed into the lightweight supply, permitting simple installation of an optional cranking tool (sold individually).

Barnett Crossbow Reviews
What types of Crossbows are there?
Essentially, there are two types of modern crossbows to pick from the Recurve crossbow and compound crossbow. The major variation between the two crossbows is that the compound crossbow is geared up with a cable and lifter system to facilitate the rigid prod to supply better power.
It is also making cocking of weapon a little bit less complicated. The recurve crossbow depends on the stamina of the prod to see the quantity of power produced.
The recurve weapon is liked by skilled hunter since it produces a lot more power and very efficient to kill large game. It has two limbs which are attached to the stock of the weapon as well as a greater possible energy is created by the back as well as the head movement of the limbs.
The recurve crossbow ideas direct far from the individual to give a longer draw length than a bow with a straight arm or legs.
Compound crossbow is a developed variation of the crossbow with tight brief limbs and also a greater body than the recurve crossbow. The bow has a very easy cocking mechanism with using lifters.
The bow is a lot more accurate than the recurve bow as well as much shorter limbs serve for hunters. Since with shorter limbs hunters can be contented in the tree stands or blinds where you are constrained to the area.
The gun crossbow has a draw weight of 80Ibs and is a reliable tool for a little game like rabbits or raccoon. The Pistol crossbow has a high precision price yet power as well as power is called for utilizing it.
The redo crossbow has an automatic system that makes it possible for the hunter to repetitively use the weapon as a result of rapid launching and also shooting.
The option of crossbows makes it less complicated for you to pick the appropriate weapon that matches your elevation, stamina, and the function.
What principles do we use in our Crossbow?
Crossbows can be quite complicated tools for those not familiar with them. Before we begin to discuss how we judge an individual crossbow model, we’ll initially review a few of the essential terms and information.
Compound or recurve: Just as with the conventional design of bow, there likewise both compound crossbow and recurve crossbows.
The difference in between the two is similar to that of the traditional bow- compound crossbows have mechanisms that make it simpler to attract the string and are typically shoot dramatically faster than recurve crossbows.
Which is just boosted versions of the crossbows that were made use of historically? You need to note that in this purchasing overview, we largely concentrate on compound crossbows as they are somewhat more preferred.
We have one section on recurve crossbows. Specifically, you can inspect that area out below.
Purchasers need to keep in mind nevertheless that unlike with substance bows, there are not usual standards for testing the rate of a crossbow. So the speeds you see from makers may somewhat overstate.
Attract weights for weapons tend to be greater than for compounds. This is typical since the draw length for a weapon is quite a little bit much shorter compared to a compound bow.
There are several techniques to cock a weapon, which we go over in the next bullet point.
Cocking Method: While this isn’t necessarily dependent on just what weapon design you get, it will certainly have a significant influence on your shooting experience. So you should possibly consider it before getting a crossbow.
It enables you to cut in half the draw weight that you pull on, however in exchange you pull it two times as much. The 3rd method is the crank- some weapons come with this attribute built in, whereas others will certainly need a relatively costly add-on.
Scope/Sight: Fifty percent real crossbows featured a primary optical sight or red dot range. These could differ a lot, however frequently come under four groups– single red dot, single reticle optical, triple red dot, and multi-reticle optical.
The red dot style extents are battery powered and can be activated as well as off. Regardless of what type of view or scope you have, you will most definitely have to readjust it before actually using your crossbow for hunting or target shooting.
This process can be rather tiresome- we won’t enter into all the details on the best ways to readjust your extent in this purchasing overview, but we will certainly publish a separate overview on the means to reconcile a weapon extent rather soon.
Power Stroke: The term ‘Power Stroke’ for a crossbow refers to the very same concept as ‘attract size’ for a traditional bow.
As we stated earlier, the draw sizes on crossbow are a fair bit much shorter compared to the same length on a typical compound or recurve bow.
Still, as with all bows, a longer power stroke will certainly lead to higher rate shooting- a buyer should keep in mind of this when selecting a crossbow design.
Trigger: While it is difficult to define the sensation fully and to feel of drawing the trigger of a particular weapon, we’ll do our best to give you adequate info for you to pick whether or not it suits you.
There are triggers that are stronger and also triggers that have more provide, each weapon will shoot at a various point in the pull.
Length: A crossbow’s Length is the distance (in inches) from completion of the supply to the furthest end of the crossbow. It could be the brace or the dissipater pads on the limbs; this is not a market requirement.
A longer crossbow likewise typically makes for a much heavier weapon. Because of, taller and robust shooters might be comfortable with a longer crossbow, while shorter, younger, as well as female individuals, may prefer shorter versions.
There is the very little overall difference in size in between substance as well as recurve crossbows; these variables depend on the private producer and version. The supply, as well as a foot stirrup, can contribute to the crossbow’s lengthiness.
However, longer crossbow could suggest longer power strokes and call for more draw weight to bring the arrowhead as well as a string right into firing setting.
Width: The width (in inches) measures the range from end to end of the crossbow’s limbs when at rest. Just like with size, consider the width of various crossbows in proportion to your body.
A larger crossbow could offset the balance of a shorter shooter, while an extra small design might constrain and be much less comfortable for an extra durable shooter. Compound bows are typically far little than the wider recurve bows The both kinds differ from model to version.
The size of a bow makes a distinction for hunters that might find themselves in tree stands bordered by branches or blinds covered in brush. A bigger crossbow will certainly be harder to bring about in tough surfaces. It could make capturing from obscured areas extra hazardous.
When shooting, always make certain the arm or legs of your crossbow have lots of areas to bend which no branches or other obstructions will hinder, potentially creating damage to the bow or yourself.
Device Specific Advantages & Disadvantages of Barnett Crossbow Reviews
There are no added tools to acquire, install, or carry right into the area. You can cock the weapon extremely swiftly.
Offering you have the physical strength to cock your crossbow by hand consistently, you might discover this technique to be the best option. Be recommended that hands-on cocking of your weapon could have negative results on your total accuracy.
The rope cocker is essential and reasonably economical. The majority of rope cocking gadgets are readily available for around under 40 bucks. The major benefit is that the rope cocker enables a person to cock a bow utilizing just 1/2 the force usually required, makings a 150 # crossbow workable for many.
They often enhance precision too, by adding to center the string at the complete draw. The only definite sacrifices it to time as well as support.
Because it takes a couple of minutes to course the rope cocker into position. Cock the bow, as well as store it away when finished. On the whole, this is a superb selection for most crossbow seekers as well as it’s a tool we highly suggest.
Crank tools give the user a significant mechanical benefit, to make sure that withdrawing 150 # feels like nearly absolutely nothing. They additionally have the tendency to aid center the string in the trigger, much like rope cocking devices – so they’re very accurate.
Crank gadgets have a few distinctive drawbacks. They’re costly. Many crank cockers cost well over hundred bucks.
They additionally add weight as well as bulk to the rear of the bow. Of course, some versions are much more streamlined and also tuck nicely in the stock. While others install over the butt-plate and also must begin and off after each usage.
So depending on the style, the crank devices can be inconvenient to make use of in the field. It’s likewise worth keeping in mind that crank tools are relatively slow. Like the majority of winches, the crank cockers wind-up slowly. In the field, it could take many mins to cock the bow and also be ready to shoot.
Each weapon has the producer’s referral for the size of the arrowheads that ought to be used with it. And also in many cases, this will certainly be 20 inches. Weapon arrows are constructed from either aluminum or carbon. An arrow is included a couple of standard components:
- The shaft: this is the primary, extended part of the arrow.
- The notch: a small item of either plastic or aluminum that is connected to the back of the arrowhead shaft. Which is available in direct contact with the string when your crossbow is cocked.
- The neck can be either level, implying there is no groove for the string to go into. It can be a half-moon notch, having a groove which should be straightened flat with the string before each shot.
- The insert: this is a little-rounded insert made from aluminum and brass, which is affixed to the front of the arrow shaft.
- The head: this can be either a “broadhead,” which has sharp sides and is designed for hunting. Or it can be an “area point,” which has no sharp edges and is created primarily for target technique (though they can be utilized for hunting tiny game as well). The wide head/ area point is screwed into the insert at the front of the arrowhead shaft.
You will notice that crossbow arrowheads have various characteristics, as an example the grain (weight) of the broad head. As a basic guideline, a beginner must not stress over these worth in any way- one of the most vital thing for you is to learn ways to appropriately deal with as well as intend your weapon.
Just as soon as you have rather grasped that need to you begin to worry yourself with extensive specs of the arrowheads you utilize.
Keeping that in mind, we advise that you only start using the arrowheads included with the weapon package that you will certainly purchase (as well as if you need more, simply get an added collection of precisely the same or remarkably similar arrowheads).
When you’re more knowledgeable, you could review our detailed guide on choosing crossbow arrows and broadheads for advanced users.
With any luck, you now have an extremely greater sense of just what to look for when buying your brand-new crossbow. The areas and also a comparison of crossbow above are meant to help you recognize the most vital as well as commonly spoke regarding aspects when it comes to crossbows.
You need to take into consideration each before going through with an acquisition. When beginning your search for a brand-new crossbow, it’s consistently good to ask questions to suppliers and also examination as numerous products as possible in person.

When Mason returned my call, agreeing that a night at the shooting gallery would be perfect entertainment for our London editor and his wife, while they were all in town, he had mentioned that we would shoot everything he had. By which, I'd expected a hand gun or two... Not an entire arsenal accompanied by several large Ziplocs brimming with various caliber bullets, shell-casings-shining like brass m&m's. With hindsight, I guess, it's kinda like that with Mason. Whatever you expect, Mason exceeds your expectations.
So there we were at an LA area shooting range, Mason, and a bunch of 40 year-old virgins. It was a couple of days after Hunter S. Thompson had gone up, ceremoniously in smoke. A gun fan right up to the moment the he pulled the trigger for the final time. It's on our minds. But mainly there's a mixture of anxiety and excitement.
Mason, unpacking his armory makes us feel at once uncomfortably at ease... His emphasis on our safety and that it was apparent that he was very familiar with his guns was reassuring. These machines are self-defenders after all. For me, I was in the weirdest most abnormal world I could imagine and Mason just seemed like he belonged. A kid sitting in a corner with a very pretty shotgun - Bigger than any gun I've seen outside of the North Hollywood bank shoot out where the police were for a while overmatched, as I recall, asked Mason whether he was teaching... "I Can." Was his clipped, authoritative reply.
First came the Colt .45 SLC, then the Smith&Wesson .357 Mag followed by a Glock 9mm, Glock .40cal, Glock .45 auto and a Smith & Wesson 9mm. It has to be said, the menace of a Glock is gorgeously understated. They're as toy-like as the friction powered machine guys I used as a child commando on the St. Joseph's church building site. The handle feels like a plastic toy . The Glock 17 can even be modified to shoot underwater...
The shooting gallery was far more akin to a Lucky Strike bowling alley, only less glamorous, even noisier and you can't get a beer. On the other hand, unlike girls with bowling balls, Girls with guns are hot. It's gotta be said. If you've never seen a woman adopting the tactical position in real life, Glock in hand, well, let me say, Looking into the eye of a Leila Khaled, the moment before she squeezes the trigger, might not be so bad after all. That said, you probably don't want to be caught scrutinizing too closely.
It's an exciting moment picking up our targets for the first time. Not the Osama targets our stylish shotgun toting neighbors had. More the classic silhouette. But anyway in an attempt to keep this from being the dullest shooting story of all time, I'll say that the pace picked up a bit when Mason set up the targets and got us blasting away like crazy. Me, well, a duck to water. A real Lamont/Joey Cusack a History of Violence moment.... For a paper target at 20 feet I am a lethal adversary. Grouped the shots nicely and so on. The Glock felt great in my hand, 15 shot and 17 shot magazines blasted out while Mason kept the weapons stocked with lead.
As I repeatedly squeezed the trigger, I couldn't get the faces of the various fast-food drive-thru windows clerks who'd fucked up my orders over the years out of my head. For a while. Had to snap out of that. But I was rapidly beginning to feel a new empathy for Douglas Coupland's character from 'City of Glass', the guy who escalated his self-destructive needs from beating, to stabbing to well, we presume at least, shooting since he was found shot to death.
Mason it should be said, should be a shoe-in for Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. It would be good to get a straight shooter in there. The array of weaponry on display at the range and the skill with which it was used, had me instantaneously questioning the current rationale for the foreign war on terror - I mean, why fight them over there - damn - nothing has made me feel more secure than the night at the range - I can't imagine anyone trying to fight us over here ever.
This short but tru-ish story became the synopsis for the pilot episode of my in-development TV series, "Lamont Does 12 Dangerous Things." Next time: Sky Diving over a Massive Fan in Las Vegas.


Faster and easier than ever before, the HKS magazine speed loader quickly loads single or double stack magazines. Simple to use: magazine slips into loader and is held by hand. Depress thumb lever and load.
Starting in the early s, the rapid growth of legislation and regulations allowing concealed carry by law-abiding citizens in various jurisdictions created a large market for handguns manufactured specifically for such use.

They had a goal of producing a new generation of striker-fired pistols with a polymer frame. Essentially, they had a big task on their hands. Therefore, what their development did was do a thorough research and figure out how to make a semi-automatic pistol and launch it into a market filled with semi-automatics, while making it stand out from the crowd. Everyone expected Ruger to come up with a slightly modified SR and call it a new model.

If you have been a hunter for any length of time it is very likely that some sort of Remington firearm has a place in your gun cabinet. Perhaps it is a Remington Model bolt-action rifle — one of the most technologically-advanced bolt actions of its time. Or maybe you have a semi-automatic Remington shotgun dubbed the best-selling autoloading shotgun in history.
Or perhaps like me, you have two of the old workhorse Remingtons, the pump shotgun — the best-selling gun in Remington history. There is no way to prove it but I think it is possible that in the 50 or 60 years those guns have been around, they have felled more wild game than most other firearms combined. Sadly those hallmark weapons and other Remington products may go the way of the dodo bird as the company deals with a tarnished financial future.

Skip to content. Quick links. I’m confused as to how to date this gun. I used to know a lot about guns and hunted all the time with my father, he fell ill some five years ago and passed away, before then he just randomly gave me this gun and gave the rest of them to my stupid brother I guess he figured the would be a good gurly gun and I used to shoot skeet with my little gurly I’m unsure as to how you get the exact length of the barrel.
If I pull it out it measures at 33in. What I’d like to know is how old it is. I know my father purchased it before There aren’t any prefix codes to the serial. If no one can help me that’s fine, as soon as I register it I can take it to a gunsmith, there’s a little broken clip that causes it to jam if you attempt to eject a shell. Because of this I’ve been holding onto it for the past 6 years and haven’t tried shooting it as I’d be concerned it was unsafe but now my daughter is too big for the and wants to shoot something bigger.
Remington 1100 Shotgun Review – Oldest Ride And Longest Line
The s and s represented a seminal period in American history. The nation was clawing its way out of the Great Depression while advances in industrial technology brought us heady stuff like automobiles, radios, telephones and electric lights. As the United States redefined itself in light of these technological developments, some unsavory characters rode the crest of this revolution to infamy. The fact that they stole money and slaughtered innocents in the process is frequently glossed over in historical tomes.
In more contemporary terms, these men were closer to terrorists. The Thompson submachine gun and, to a lesser extent, the Browning Automatic Rifle got all of the press.

The late Bob Baumgart, who lived in nearby Wisconsin, used to telephone me with regularity in the late s and explain to me that the Winchester Super-X Model 1 was the best autoloader ever made. By then I was quite happily using Browning B’s for race games and high volume wing shooting, but I appreciated his enthusiasm. Bob took great delight in updating and renovating Super-X Model 1’s and got a hold of one of the original Winchester 16mm promotional films.
He had it transferred to VHS tape. Bob sold a few copies, gave a few away and often included one with his updated SX-1s.

We might look at the design choices from decades ago and wonder how they were ever considered practical. Then, there are the classics that age like a fine wine. One such weapon is the Remington shotgun. Even though it has been around for a while, we thought it would be fun to take a look at why it has withstood the test of time.
Good guns come and go, but the Remington is a slice of Americana that will live forever. The Remington shotgun was first released in , when designer Wayne Leek wanted to make a follow-up to the 58 and shotguns. The is a gas-operated semi-automatic, eliminating the severe recoil that came with most of the Remington pump-action family members. To this day, there are still models in production.

Whether or not Trident should be renewed is a debate that’s likely to feature during the 2017 general election campaigns, with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn a lifelong supporter of unilateral nuclear disarmament. Get to grips with the debate with our short summary of what Trident is, and the arguments for and against its renewal.
What is Trident?
- Submarine carrying nuclear weapons
- Submarines can carry up to eight Trident missiles
- Mutually Assured Destruction: if nation-state launches a nuclear attack and destroys nation’s defence, silent submarine will still launch a retaliatory strike
Unliteral and multilateral nuclear disarmament
- Unliteral nuclear disarmament: when a nation-state reduces or eliminates its nuclear weapons, regardless of whether other nation-states offer concessions and promise to also reduce their nuclear capabilities
- Multilateral nuclear disarmament: when nation-states negotiate and simultaneously reduce their nuclear capabilities step-by-step
Arguments in favour of UK renewal of Trident
- Politically uncertain world: need all defence capabilities available
- Aggression of North Korean and Russia: “they have one so we do too” logic
- Employment: up to 15,000 jobs arguably linked to Trident
Argument against UK renewal of Trident
- Opportunity cost: £40 billion could be better spent
- Inhumane/unethical to blackmail countries using threat of nuclear attack
- Debates over whether it would ever be used practice (e.g. Jeremy Corbyn said he would “never” use nuclear deterrent)
2016 UN Summit: Nuclear Arms Resolution
Several months ago, the UN Security council voted to tighten restrictions on North Korea, following a recent (and what was to date their largest) nuclear weapons test. These sanctions targeted the nation state’s hard currency revenues by imposing a coal export cap. Overall, the resolution consists of a broad range of proposed sanctions against North Korea following a nuclear test in September 2016; there have been further nuclear tests in recent weeks, and thus international debates on the issue are likely to resurface over the next few months.

ACCESSORIES, MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION
Once you have purchased your bow you will need to pick the accessories that you will mount to it. This is honestly the fun part as you can make the bow your own and choose accessories that make sense for your style of hunting.
Bow Sights come in many variations and selecting one is very important, but also a personal preference. Here we will provide some of the distinct difference between sights in an effort to allow you to make an informed decision.
There are a few main styles to consider, fixed pin, single pin adjustable, multi-pin sliders, and digital range finding sights. Your first task is to determine what you feel would be the furthest shot you might take when practicing. If you plan to shoot out past 60 yards a 3 pin fixed pin sight would not be your best option. If you plant to shoot 40 yards or less, a 3 pin fixed pin sight setup for 20, 30, and 40 yards based off of the 3 pins would be ideal. If you think that shooting longer range for practice purposes is a possibility, think about a 1 pin adjustable sight as this will give you the option to stretch your distance without cluttering up the sight housing with more than 5 pins.
See our Bow Sights Fixed Pin
Fixed pin sights come in many variations, 3, 4, 5, and 7 pin sights are most commonly used. Looking through a sight with 7 or more pins can be overwhelming for most shooters due to a lot of clutter and an obstructed view of the target downrange. This is where the adjustable style sights can be the most user friendly.
Single/Multi Pin Adjustable
Single pin adjustable or multi pin slider sights allow the shooter take shots at just about any distance within the bow and the shooter capability. Single pin adjustable sights are one of the most user friendly sights made for hunting and target shooting applications. In a hunting application a single pin sights can have its disadvantages. A hunter may find themselves having to make on the fly adjustments to the sight or having to aim a little high or a little low because of the animal moving after you’ve ranged and drawn back on the animal. If the shooter plans to adjust high or low versus making the pin sight adjustment, it is recommended that the shooter practice this type of shot to become comfortable and proficient.
Multi pin adjustable sights or slider style sights have been popular in the 3D target archery community but have also become quite popular in the hunting community. These sights allow shooters to have 2-5 fixed pins, but can also be adjusted down to have the ability to shoot a greater distance than fixed pins would allow. This allows the hunter a fixed pin for closer shots, but still allows hunters to take longer shots without the clutter of 6 or more sight pins within the housing.
Digital sights are the newest sights to enter the ring. The NEW Garmin digital range finding sights are in a class of their own and have already begun to revolutionize the sport. It must be noted to check local game law where applicable.
VIDEO ARROW RESTS
Arrow rest also come in many variations. Here we will show you advantages each arrow rest has related to its application.
See our Arrow Rests Containment Arrow Rests
The design behind a containment arrow rest is mainly for the hunting application. The containment arrow rest is likely the most popular and can be split into two sub categories, Static and Fall Away.
The Trophy Ridge Whisker Biscuit is a static containment rest and one of the easiest and most user friendly for hunters. The arrow is contained 360 degrees within the rest. This rest is easily one of the most popular and available in a number of different configurations allowing the shooter adjustability.
We must also discuss the drop away and fall away type containment arrow rest. These types of rest have gained significant popularity and also come in a number of configurations. Some rest are cable driven and some limb driven. Either way they contain the arrow and provide an unobstructed flight path for the arrow as the cradle falls out of the way or in some cases is pulled out of the way shortly after release.
It is fair to note that the drop away arrow rest is certainly more complex to set up than other types of rest and must be factored into your decision.
Target Arrow Rests
A target shooter, on the other hand, doesn't worry with the same needs as the hunter.
Durability is not as much of a concern since these bows do not typically get abused. The competitive shooters main concern is consistency, easy adjustment and very little arrow interference. As seen above in the example most target shooters look for prong or blade style launcher rest. They are quick to adjusted and fine-tune for center shot and elevation adjustment and have marginal interference with the arrow shaft.
Quivers come in two styles, either a one-piece or a two-piece construction. Most quivers will hold 3-5 arrows but some will hold more. It would be fair to note that some proprietary quiver are made for specific bow brands and most are made from lightweight materials as to not have a detrimental impact on the overall weight of the bow if the quiver remains on the bow while hunting and not quickly detached.
See our Quivers STABILIZERS
Choosing a stabilizer when you walk into a bow shop can actually be a daunting task. There are so many sizes, shapes, colors and configurations it can get overwhelming quickly. I’d also like to point out that there is a science behind it and for the hunting application, I’d like to simplify it. 6-10 inches in length is plenty. A modular design is preferred so the shooter can adjust the weight as needed.
See our Stabilizers PEEP SIGHT
Peeps sights are a necessary tool for all shooters to be as accurate as possible. Peep sights act like the rear sight on a gun. They give you a consistent anchor point that ultimately promotes accuracy.
The main difference between peep sights are: Peep sight size and the number of slots milled into the peep to fit within the string.
Before you get a peep sight, you need to know that there are different sizes available: They are measured in inches, such as 1/16in., 1/4in., 3/16in., etc. Your choice will depend on the size of your sight housing and your draw length. The Golden Rule if you are hunting: your peep sight should not be too small. If you can’t see your entire sight housing through the peep your peep is too small. However, if you see too much daylight around your sight housing your peep is too big and thus decreases your consistency. It is recommended to choose a medium or large peep sight for hunting. But, it may take putting two different sizes in to get the proper fit for your desired needs.
For target archery, you can choose a small peep sight to get the maximum focus on your pin(s) without getting distracted by anything else.
RELEASES See our Releases
Release aids aren’t a mount-on accessory, but with any new bow a release is a must have. There are a number of different styles of releases to be aware of, but once again this is all going to come down to what you prefer.
The standard for years has been a trigger style release and still probably accounts for the highest percentage of users. The trigger release comes in a number of different configurations and like anything you should try as many as you can before settling on the right one.
There are also releases that use a thumb button and have gained popularity for hunters and target shoots in the past few years. The thumb button is configured much like a target style release usually a three finger or four finger setup. There is a large button that is used to trigger the release of the arrow.
Also gaining traction not only in the competitive target side of archery but also with hunting is what is known as a back tension. These 2-3 finger style releases are not activated by a trigger or a button but rather a tension setting. The popularity with this style of release is the reduction of target panic. The shooter should focus on the shot placement and being on the target as they pull through the shot. The shot will break when the release tension has been achieved. The use of this type of release for hunting is gaining popularity but it should be noted that extensive practice is required before going afield to ensure ethical hunting practices.
GEAR HUNTER TAKEAWAYS
Accessory selection is as important as choosing your bow and it is equally important that you choose what makes sense for the type of shooting you will be doing. If you plan to hunt, making the correct choice on sight, rest and stabilizer could be vastly different from the choices made if you were punching paper. It is always good practice to buy the best you can afford as it generally correlates to both quality and upgraded features that can be extremely beneficial for the shooter. When making a decision, be sure to do your own research. Relying on the opinions of friends can be detrimental as personal preference is paramount in accessory selection. We will leave you with one final thought, don’t settle on something you don’t feel comfortable with. Save your money, get what feels right and you will have no regrets. Shoot straight.


Russians are not known for their creativity when it comes to naming things.
A Russian design company has recently unveiled one of the newest weapons in Russia’s arsenal: The Samart Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. “Satan 2,” for short. This weapon, it is reported, has the power to wipe an area the size of Texas or France off the map.
CNN reports: The missile will have a range exceeding 11,000 kilometers (6,835 miles), TASS said. The warhead will weigh 100 tons and is designed as a successor to the R-36M Voyevoda.
According to a statement posted on the maker’s website, “the Sarmat is designed to provide strategic Russian forces with a guaranteed and effective fulfillment of nuclear deterrence tasks” and is being co-developed with the Russian military.
You know two words that just go perfectly together? “Russian military” and “deterrence.”
This latest advancement in nuclear technology comes at a time when NATO is bolstering its defenses, and Russia has earlier given up on an arms reduction agreement with the United States.
On the bright side, if there’s one thing I know from my time in history class, it’s that America never responds to provocation with tit-for-tat moves. There’s no way we would respond by just building an even bigger missile! I mean, that would be crazy and a blatant step back into Cold War habits… which we totally haven’t been doing already…
Excuse me, I need to look up prices on a decent fallout shelter.
