Summer Food Plots Made Easy with The Firminator

Late summer and fall food plots help hunters see more deer during the hunting season. Food plots also supply the deer with nutrition through the cold weather months. Warm-season food plots, however, can be even more important to your deer herd. Summer food plots provide needed nutrition and protein for maximum growth of big antlers and improves body weights. Warm-season food plots also greatly increase the overall health of does and their young during the fawning season.

The folks at Firminator have created the three-in-one planting machine that makes food plot creation and planting an efficient pleasure.

The versatile Firminator helps get summer plots set up in a hurry, letting the operator choose from a wide range of angle and pitch adjustments. For new sites receiving seeds for the first time and heavy with debris, the disk angles can be set aggressively along with a heavy forward tilt of the entire unit for deeper disk penetration. There is no need to disk the soil with other equipment first. Read more

Redding Introduces New Premium Die Sets

Cortland, NY…….New for 2015, Redding Reloading Equipment has introduced both Standard Full Length and Deluxe Die Sets with the most popular options already included. Branded as Premium Die Sets these new offerings include a Carbide Expander Button and a Micrometer Adjusting Seat Stem.

Redding recognized that customers were adding large numbers of these accessories as they increased their reloading knowledge and expectations from their handloaded ammunition. The Carbide Expander Button reduces stress on the case neck and also is free floating which many believe improves overall concentricity. The Micrometer Adjusting Seat Stem allows for precise bullet seating depth to 1/0.001″ adding to the handloader’s ability to find and repeat the perfect bullet jump for the best accuracy possible from his or her rifle.

Arrest of School Shooter’s Dad Shows Fatal Flaw of Gun Control Measure

BELLEVUE, WA – Today’s arrest of Raymond Lee Fryberg, father of Marysville Pilchuck gunman Jaylen Fryberg, on charges of illegally purchasing the pistol used in that shooting demonstrates the fatal flaw of so-called “universal background check” legislation, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said.

“Apparently,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “a permanent protection order issued against Fryberg back in 2002 never made it into the National Instant Check System (NICS). Penalizing all law-abiding gun owners because a system is flawed does not prevent crime from happening, nor does it keep the wrong people from getting their hands on guns.”

The government alleges that not only did the elder Fryberg provide false information on the Federal Form 4473 when he bought the Beretta pistol his son used in the October shooting, he also allegedly bought four other firearms at various times. It is not known why information about the protection order did not appear in the NICS system, but Fryberg’s status as a disqualified person apparently never showed up during NICS checks. But he apparently knew the protection order was still in effect months before he bought the handgun, and so did the tribal court. Read more
