The location of the debate likely was appealing to Cuomo, who appears eager to win western New York after losing the area in 2010. He has since targeted the area with economic development initiatives. Cuomo is widely believed to have national aspirations and needs to show he can win handily outside of New York City, according to University at Buffalo Political Science Professor Harvey Palmer. "There's a reason why it's in Buffalo," Palmer said. "I think he is fixated on winning upstate New York this time." Well Mr. Palmer upstate and western NY has had a large portion of us swept under the rug again....good luck! Idiotic question by moderator on gun control, same fun loving, and abortion issues...labeling those topics as extremist and whether those ideally were welcome in New York. ..Cuomo gets an easy out by saying "That's not what I meant" Pass.... Way to snub upstate again Andy! Cent frum my notso smart fone

Sorry for your loss. I had a best friend who had CF and passed away 33 years ago. We were 25 years old and like your son he was always doing his best to enjoy the outside with me when he could. I still miss the fun we had and he never complained and me either when sometimes I would have to literally carry him through some tough terrain. Your son lives on in you and you will know he is there some times. God speed to your healing. ... Mark Cent frum my notso smart fone

Ok...half price. ..u mmm I know if I had more I would cash out but the member dues is probably enough. NRA is gonna let us be a wait and see. Can't do that here with this tumor in Albany.

Debate tonight, Astorino gaining in polls and third-party candidate from working families could steal a lot of thunder from Cuomo support. On another note...since NRA is MIA, I have contributed directly in representation of each of my personal firearms times 5 dollars to his campaign. If everyone loves their rights and firearm sports it's up to each individual. NYSRPA and SCOPE has had its reach into the judicial process and found the trouble going way deeper than governor Cuomo office. We need a new boss. The NRA along with the donut eater from Jersey shouldn't rule NYS a lost cause! 5 bucks for every firearm! Do it! Cent frum my notso smart fone

I use Sierra bullets a lot and I have used the 110 grain you speak of in .308 out of the 30.06. It's fast but too fast for the rifling in most 30 calibers. I do like the Sierra quality and choices. Especially for my pet load 55 gr. PSP spitzer in the 22.250 and the 150 grain PSP in my deer loads for the 06. 130 grain PSP in 270 win. was good too for a friend of mine once.

Most devastating explosive .308 projectile is made by Speer. I hand load 30.06 with these 130 grain wide open jacketed hollow point bullets and they are a grenade on impact if ya gotta have some entertainment. No good for having vittles to eat! Cent frum my notso smart fone

Depends Matt. Where do you want the expansion to max out on what type of game. Hollow points good for explosive fast expansion not for eating (varmints). Deer and bigger soft point core lock partition 150 to 180 grain. Cent frum my notso smart fone

One can believe all the polls they want, most lean liberal in their scope of coverage just by the domain they operate from. It will come down to these last few weeks and then it's going to be a closer challenge. I hope Astorino gets NRA funds...NEW YORK IS STILL PART OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. .If it takes dirty money for Cuomo to win..then it should take clean money from NRA for Astorino to win. He may be from downstate but he is not Cuomo, and that's enough for people who DO UNDERSTAND! Don't understand BY NOW? Don't vote... MONEY TALKS... NRA IS THE VOICE OF AMERICANS COUNTRY WIDE! NEW YORK STATE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT BE THE CANCER TO KILL THE FOREFATHERS WISDOM FOUNDING A GREAT NATION. Down with dictators! Cent frum my notso smart fone

I have 2 Seagate 60 with copper. 900 feet of 30 lb power pro backing will fit either 600 ft 32 copper...or 400 ft 45 copper. I use each and both work awesome. Two different planes trolling together less chance for tangles. If having one I would personally go 32 lbs. marked every 100 ft. fluorescent spray paint works. You will reach over 100 down with 600 32 out with most presentation and normal speeds and current. Everything between is 18 to 20 down for each 100 out. What it looks like with 600 32 lb and 900 30 lb power pro. Cent frum my notso smart fone

Wonderful detail Paul! Absolutely love your talent!!. .I have some detailed pics of a king I caught but can't remember the measurement other than the weight was 29 lbs 8 oz. Not a monster but it was a perfect specimen and nice colored fish that would make a great mount. Can you do that from pics without length and girth just by going on your years of experience with size of a fish in that weight class? Maybe there are some other items in the photo s that can be used as scale for size, I would have to look and see. Cent frum my notso smart fone

Nice photos Les! Some of those critters have looked into my windshield of the Kenworth as I'm steering around them! I miss going out there since the railroad seems to have taken my freight and the rest goes on Mexican back haulers. ..:rolleyes: Cent frum my notso smart fone

Many years ago I used a combination of a Jumbo Scope and ranging pins together to make a dual sighting system. The jumbo scope was like 2 power and had a huge magnifier glass in it about 3.5 inches diameter with a red cross hair on the glass. It could move up and down and windage. The range pins were set for the 15 25 35 yard shots. I aligned the 25 yard pin with the center of the cross hair in the jumbo scope and as long as those two were lined up, everything else was on target at 15 and 35. It worked well except I didn't like the blur factor of the jumbo scope. It wasn't good focus for the target. So I went to the halo site which gave me dual parallax heads up display of a red dot centered in two different size circles. The circles were like looking down a pipe or tunnel and when lined up evenly, the dot was on the point of impact of the arrow. Easy to set up but only a single yardage aim point. It also needed N batteries which are hard to find unless going to a pharmaceutical store that carried the batteries for certain medical data devices. It worked great for low light or in a blind as you could turn the intensity up or down. It did not project a laser beam on the target but superimposed it over the target for acquisition so it was legal for use as a sight. I wanted more confidence in aiming at different ranges and the single aim point was an issue for me once on a nice buck which I misjudged distance of. Not enough time to range him and having the heavyweight arrows I used proved me wrong by 5 or 6 yards with a very near miss over the shoulder. So wanted something more intuitive as I'm holding the bow at the target. That's where the SABO gen 2 sight became interesting as it had the different aim points for different yardage up and running when holding the bow. Less to think about. Then what I needed was something to range with besides my laser ranger hanging on my hook at the tree. Something while I am holding the bow at the target..particularly an adult whitetail. So I got this little piece of adhesive rubber that came with fiber optic different color pieces that could be installed into the rubber and adjusted to the size of your game animal choice. It goes right inside the housing of the SABO sight and now can quickly check distance and aquire the correct aiming dot on the glass of the SABO. without moving, and looking at the target the whole time. I used it last year and after setting it up it is easy to sight on a deer size target with confidence without measure of distance and hit the mark. Best part of the SABO and the Halo sight as well was you could see a flaw in your form before the shot. If you torqued the riser on your draw it would not line up the circles in the Halo or line up the red dots on the green line of the SABO. You knew that there was a form problem and it could be corrected in your draw and hold cycles. The SABO is a great sight. Somewhat challenging to set up and looks a little fragile in some ways but it worked last year for me on several forays into the woods and up my lone wolf climber. Then took a very nice shot on a buck that was on the receiving end of a 454 grain arrow combination lead by a thunder head broadhead which stuck firmly in the dirt on the other side. 35 yards later and gut pile.

I don't like peeps either. I switched last year to this which is the same principle as the hind site. Uses rear projection red spots as the hind site and the green line is the front site. Was using a halo site but battery power is hard too find for it. The new site has ranging capability too..good for my slow 454 grain high energy rainbow arrows! So now I got this!

Good thread! I used luminock when they first came out. They WERE good. Not so much now as I have had problems with the new ones lighting on my Cabela's carbon hunter shafts (Beman ICS supplier's) and had to trim them with abrasives paper to get them in the shaft. Do the nocturnal brand not have contact wires relying on carbon material making contact on string thrust? So the plastic bag trick sounds like a good fix idea for loose fit! Better loose and do that than tight and guess on sanding tight ones. I will try the nocturnal brand since not much luck with luminock lately. Mark Cent frum my notso smart fone
