Reloading bench project.
(Preview)
I'm new to this forum & reloading and don't have a lot to offer as far as knowledge in reloading. So I thought I would take a shot at what my set up is and how the project went together. I've been reloading .223, 22-250 & .204 for about a year now and have had very good success for about 3,000 rounds so...

The Bear Facts
(Preview)
Yesterday I left the gun in the truck and figured on doing some pre rut bow hunting. While sitting in the tree stand, I watched a good twenty or so crows looking for a fight and making a ruckus. Right then and there I was wishing I was crow hunting instead. A little after that I had a doe walk behind me and sh...

Fox Pro CS-24L unit

I just tried the CS-24L unit on crows. On the first shoot I shot 218 crows but one of the crows hit the limb that one of the speakers was in. I picked it up and it quit working. I pulled out the battery pack that holds the 10 AA batteries and found that from the shock of hitting the ground it knocked a couple of ba...

Plastic decoy repair
(Preview)
If any of you should break off the integral post a Flambeau crow decoy stands on, save the broken piece. It can be successfully repaired with a hot glue gun and some black Fusion spray paint. It appears to me to be as strong or even stronger than the original.
