    Meanwhile, China seems to be stabilizing: There is a “semblance that production capability is actually now coming back to the Chinese economy,” Tay said, citing a decline in the number of reported infections in the country. That will likely make the Chinese economy “the first in the world” to get back on track, he told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Tuesday. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/11/chinas-coronavirus-outbreak-has-passed-its-worst-says-ubs.html The US is a few weeks behind in regards to this virus, but I suspect we’ll see the same results by April. When you look at the actual numbers rather than listen to media, it puts things in perspective. Just for clarification, I’m not downplaying what’s going on here. My beef is with the way the media is handling it. Not only is it dangerous, but irresponsible. It’s creating undo hardship and panic simply out of spite.

    You guys are great. One serious thought. Wouldn't hurt to have some preparation in case there is a two or three week shut down. A little cash on hand, food that doesn't require refrigeration, etc. Most likely will not occur, but, wouldn't hurt to plan a little.😁

    My better half is a director with Cuisinart Waring Conair. Years ago the Chinese were setup with manufacturing Cuisinart goods. The Chinese always refused to take any faulty products back, were caught using substandard parts. One such debacle involved them using subpar rivets in food processers a few years ago. The rivots were failing causing cutting blades to go flying like shiny razor shrapnel. The processors all had to be recalled and there was liability suits against the company in the tens of millions. Of course the Chinese could not be held accountable nor would they allow the manufacturing be moved, how would they make knockoffs? The manufacturing has been coming home since.

    Well I'm probably one of the rare guys that spends a bit to much time in the dirt. Last year I put around 400-500 rounds down the tube of a hunting rifle. Most of my shots are 100 yards for load development and then off to 500-1000 yards. Probably shot over half the shots at 500-600 yards and have a system that will tell me exactly where each bullet hits as it hits. I think that is a great distance to learn at with a hunting rifle. I also like to take my rifle on trips around the state and shoot in different locations. Last year I shot up in the Flagstaff area, White Mountains, down south and around the phoenix area. Each location and setup will teach you something differnet about you and your gun. Put the sun in your face as it just comes over the trees and see what happens. Just like when hunting CWT deer. It's been my experience that if you have a good chronograph and know your speeds (and your extreme spread) and the published BC is correct then you will hit your target at any know distance with the trajectory apps on the market. I have found some bullets that don't report accurate BC's and they normally get called out pretty quick. Nosler is great at saying the bullets BC is way better than actual. I do verify all BC's and loads out to 1000 yards before I take them in the field. Last year I finished off a guys CWT in Mexico at 964 yards with back to back hits. That doesn't get done by accident. Shot my deer this year at 813 yards. Also shot a deer in AZ at 75 yards. Just depends on the day and conditions. Now for practical hunting distances (0-500 yards) I don't think velocity, BC and elevations play a huge part in killing an animal. For the most part a scope with a BDC as part of the reticle will get the job done. That would drive me crazy but it can be very practical for the average hunter. Out past 500 yards everything changes and changes dramatically. None of it is hard to learn but it does take time and people do need to dent primers in order to learn it. I had a buddies kid shooting my gun out at 1000 yards last spring and I was calling the wind for him. He was just crushing it and was really surprised at how far off I was telling him to aim off from shot to shot depending on the conditions. I think he was learning quite a bit because I would tell him why he was aiming off and was teaching him how to notice the differences in conditions. That is only learned from busting primers.

    The Swine flu killed 13000 people in the US in 2009-2010 during the Obama era. There was no market meltdown. No, OMG!, the world is ending. There was no 24/7 media coverage blaming people that have no business being blamed. This is a coordinated effort by the media to crash the market. It's purely a political scheme to hurt President Trump before the election. Period.

    I was super lucky and blessed to take a nice Javelina last week! Things went from nada to full throttle on Monday when I finally hiked into a nice sized group and the ol’ Browning A-Bolt in 7mm-08 did a number on her at about 70 yards. I was able to capture a lot of the story, scouting, and action on camera and hope you guys And gals enjoy it!!! There is also A LOT of coues action. I did all the butchering and processing myself and just tried a round of Javi tacos last week and was PLEASANTLY Suprised! Going to try some more recipes that you guys posted on here and I will keep you posted.
