Speer’s New Gold Dot 10mm Auto Personal Defense Load Delivers Power and Performance

LEWISTON, Idaho –– Speer Ammunition is pleased to announce its new 10mm Auto 200-grain load. Speer Gold Dot ammunition’s reliability has made it the No. 1 choice for law enforcement. The brand offers the same performance for self-defense with the addition of a powerful 10mm Auto load that takes advantage of the cartridge’s capability. Shipments of this ammunition are being delivered to dealers now.

Like all Gold Dot loads, its bullet is built using Speer’s exclusive Uni-Cor method. The jacket is bonded to the core one molecule at a time, virtually eliminating core-jacket separation and creating a precision hollow point that is accurate, tough and unbelievably consistent through all common barriers.

Firearms Retailers Petition State Court To Invalidate AG’s ‘Assault Weapons’ Enforcement Ban

NEWTOWN, Conn. — Two Massachusetts firearms retailers, Baystate Firearms and Training, LLC of Peabody and Downrange, Inc., which does business as Cape Gun Works of Hyannis, have petitionedthe Supreme Judicial Court for Suffolk County to invalidate State Attorney General Maura Healey’s 2016 “enforcement action” for violating the procedures required for issuing regulations under state law and radically re-defining what constitutes “assault weapons” contrary to the intention of the Massachusetts Legislature.

Because the Attorney General’s office plans to enforce the regulation either civilly or criminally, the two federally licensed firearms retailers are asking the court for declaratory judgment. The petition acknowledges that any decision is likely to be appealed to the state Supreme Judicial Court. The National Shooting Sports Foundation supports the two Massachusetts-based firearms retailers in this petition.

“With the 2016 ‘Enforcement Action,’ the Attorney General’s office demonstrated how little it understands about firearms,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “Attorney General Healy and her staff clearly overreached their statutory authority and decided to legislate from that office without the benefit of any public process and in total disregard of 18 years of Massachusetts firearm law, under which firearm retailers operated. The Attorney General undermined the state legislature by unilaterally declaring firearms that were legal to be illegal.”

Keane continued, “With this petition, these two retailers are stepping up to challenge bold overreach by an elected official that has not only compromised their livelihoods without any true enhancement of public safety, the press conferences and media interviews notwithstanding, but they are also speaking up for tens of thousands of law-abiding citizens of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts who, overnight in 2016, found that their legally-purchased firearms had been redefined as “assault weapons” while additional untold numbers of citizens were arbitrarily denied access to many models of semiautomatic rifles from that day on.” Read more

Montana: Wounded bear killed by FWP officials

A wounded grizzly bear was killed by FWP officials on Monday on the Marias River west of state highway 417 near Shelby.

The bear was shot July 26 and the incident is under investigation by Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The bear was killed because it was not likely to survive the gunshot wound and due to concerns for public safety.

FWP first trapped this 3-year-old male grizzly last October near Choteau where it had been eating apples out of trees near a residence. The bear was collared and released on National Forest land. This summer, the bear returned the prairie lands along the Marias River and got into additional unsecured attractants (chicken feed, and dog food) at one or more residences.  After approaching another residence, the bear was shot.  FWP had tried to locate and trap the bear but was unsuccessful.

Delano’s obsession for growing food plots and big deer started in 2004. A specific buck Delano acquired a picture of captivated his attention to the point of obsession. The picture was of the deer when he was an estimated 3 ½ years old and scored around 120 inches.

CMP Clinics offer Top Notch Marksmanship Training

Aug 14, 2018

In recognition of National Shooting Sports Month, a look at how the Civilian Marksmanship Program works to help spread the love of shooting sports.

Before the firing of the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) National Trophy events, the National Matches schedule offers training clinics for all levels of shooters to receive personalized help and information.

For junior shooters, the United States Marine Corps (USMC) Junior Highpower Rifle Clinic offers one-on-one training, dry firing and class work focused on safety, trigger control, fundamentals and effects of weather, among other things. For those looking for more than the basics, an Advanced CMP Highpower Clinic offers marksmen supplementary training, dry firing exercises and position work.

Many juniors (age 20 and below) attend the USMC clinic year after year, using the opportunity to freshen up their skills before the bigger National Trophy matches, to socialize with other juniors and to receive coaching.

A classroom session is held on the first day of the clinic, during which basic safety and marksmanship fundamentals are covered. Previous attendees are released to Petrarca Range for dry-fire practice, while newer shooters remain in the classroom for additional instruction. When the classroom portion is finished, the classroom juniors join the rest of the clinic participants for snap-in and dry-fire positioning.

The Marines show several examples of their own standing, sitting and prone positions and break them down before having all participants get into their positions and dry fire. Coaches are open to answering questions and to helping each junior find the positions that work best for him or her. Read more
