I could not find anything about Dicks Sporting Goods store in either of these two links above. All it did was take me to the Yahoo home page. I scrolled down and didn't find anything either. Lots of other stories that I might want to read later on. Me either. Strange, I copied the URL address from each article and pasted it here. Sorry

Use optics on all my long guns and just had clarifier put on my bow. It helped tremendously. Cost was $60 and if my eyes get worse, they just put a different magnification in the peep. There are so many ways to improve your compound bow vision. Magnifiers, clarifiers and verifiers. I have a 2x magnifier in my sight currently. The rub is that your sight must be of the type to accept a magnifier. I have 2x through 6x magnifiers that I use with my CBE TEK Hybrid Pro sight depending on the need. For pin clarity I use clarifiers. I have 1x through 3x in .5 increments. They screw into my peep. Sizes are 1/8, 3/16 and 3/32. If you aren't using a magnifier then a verifier may work for you. Go here to learn about clarifiers and verifiers: specialtyarch.com/ You can buy magnifiers at most good archery shops. I bought mine direct from CBE and Lancaster Archery: www.lancasterarchery.com/bow-accessories/sights-scopes-peeps/scope-lenses.html

I am "Thinking" of getting a Mathews Vertix. The Great Outdoors in Jasper have them for $834.00 I shoot a 2007 Mathews Switchback XT now that I really like and it is hard to lay down that much money to get something that does what I already have. I get your thinking. I have a 2015 Mathews HTR that I like a lot. Still tempted by the Triax. But I won't buy it. I don't feel like it will make me better. Maybe in three or four years or maybe not... Still is fun to think about it

I read about this and was shocked. How is it a game to have a loaded gun pointed at you, albeit one round in the cylinder, and the trigger pulled. Just plain incredible. I will ditto the Darwin comment....

Have four feeders hanging on the porch and three suet holders and food on the ground for the doves. Looks like O'Hare for birds. Easily 50 at a time feeding

Trump needs to learn to pick his battles and understand the dynamics of national politics. With the democrats taking control of the House, a government shutdown was a serious tactical error as it was a no win situation. The dems had no need to negotiate. With 800,000 people out of work and his approval rating tanking there was no point in negotiating with him as he had no leverage. As a side note, look at the economic effect of the shutdown. Southwest airlines earnings down 68% and attributed to the shutdown by the CEO. Laguardia shutting down incoming flights and so on. There are multiple examples of how the shutdown has hurt this country and for what? A wall??

Don't know what you are looking at either. There are at least 30 quality offerings at less than $1.20 per round. I don't plink with any of my hunting rifles. Prior to each season I check for zero and I am done. I don't need to put scoped hunting rifle ammo down range to make my shooting better. That is a waste of time and money, at least to me. Good. Good for you. Yes. Yes it is.

Don't know what ammo you're looking at but most hunting rounds for the .450 are $1.50 - $2 a round. Wasn't implying that anyone would plink with it. My point I'm trying to make is the cheaper the ammo the more apt you are to put more rounds down range. More rifle time better shooting ability. I'm not taking anything away from the .450. Its a great round but more options can't be bad. I have no doubt I'll end up getting a encore barrel in the .450 but I think this will have a place in my safe too.

Either they don't have anything for the .450 BM, or do you have to be a "member" to see what is available? I searched and came up with nothing. Not sure why the link didn't work. When you get to the main page, click on rifle and then select the caliber. There are 78 offerings ranging from $1.01 per round to $3.57 per round. I bought three different selections all at around $1.20 per round: Hornady Black 250gr FTX, Winchester Deer Season XP 250gr Extreme Point, Hornady Custom 250gr FTX. Anyone of these have the velocity and energy to kill white tails. As an example the ballistics for the Winchester are Muzzle: 2200 fps/2686 ke, 100 yards: 1834 fps/1867 ke, 200 yards 1514 fps/ 1272 ke

I hunted all season with a 450 Bushmaster on an AR platform. Dialing it in was painless. What recoil? After hunting with 12 gauge slugs it feels like a .22. To each his or her own..... Recoil is similar to a 20 gauge or .50 muzzleleoader. If that is too much recoil you may just want to hunt rabbits with a .410. LOL! Recoil doesn't bother me at all but falls under, why for me. Same reason I use a 20ga for turkey. Also think that this round would be a great youth rifle. I've made zero doubt about my complete hatred of the .243 for anything larger than a gopher (complete exaggeration). Larger bullet available and more energy with less recoil. The .450 is a interesting round and I was completely intrigued by it but if you don't reload you are very limited on round choices unless you step up to black butterfly rounds and they real proud of them. This round claims .50 - .60 cents a round. At $2+ a round .450 is a bit pricey on plinking. Takes skill to use a .410 as well as the bigger rounds. ammoseek.com/ammo/450-bushmaster Not even close to $2+ a round. Never considered plinking with a .450.
