Costco sucks for tires.Its always busy and Damm near impossible to get any rotation or service done .They wouldn't cover the warranty on the tires they sold.I had bought 4 and they didn't make the mileage .Not even 24000 miles and they only covered 2 and would not give me the warranty for the other 2.Then when I tried to get a nail removed they gave me a it will be 2 weeks before we can get you in .And if that wasn't bad enough they scratched the crap outa one rim .Discount may not be perfect but I was outa there in 30 minutes for the tire fix at no cost and no appt.

E bay has youth stocks new there like $100 bucks .You might find a used one on there cheaper.

I've got the 12 a archery deer hunt and with my work schedule I can't wait for my back yard to get shade .It won't happen till around 6 and I'm usually a sleep .Start work at midnight. Has anyone shot at timber mesa indoor range ? Says indoor 20 yard range 9 bucks a hour.

California over father's day was $7.89 for diesel where I was hunting.It's sad when coming home and almost $6 bucks here sounded much cheaper.

The wolf is a good under rated gun. I shot my 6x5 bull elk with one .At 90 yds with 150 gr of pyrodex and a 338 Powerbelt platnium.He didn't take one step .It dumped him in his tracks.

Blackhorn is the way to go.Its non corrosive so you can use standard gun cleaners.It uses less powder to get the same results as most pellets.You may need to see if your breach plug will work with blackhorn.The big advantage is being able to weigh the powder charge and get a consistent load and you can tailor it to your gun.Don't run by the marks for volume as they are known to be off and inconsistent.Blackhorn has a conversion chart that will tell you what you need by weight or volume to make a standard 100 gr charge .You are correct on not having to clean between shots it tends to shoot cleaner.I just wish I could run it in all my muzzleloaders some won't shoot it due to the breach plugs.

That might do it .I ran a jp adjustable on mine and per there instructions come out 4 turns and then shoot 1 round then out 1 turn at a time till it stays open.I've seen some blocks drilled off location also .They were made by Odin works .Still have them at home .I had a Smith assemble the upper on my gun only to have to take it apart and fix it .Hopefully your on the right track and it works.Also I've seen the gas tubes be outa alignment its not common usually its in the gas block or undersized bleed hole in the barrel.

After picking up my processed california hog from the processors the wife had me go with her to run errands .We were in line at CVS for some prescription pick up.The wife starts to crack up and says read the plate on the car in front of us and it was. Hugahog !! Finally a plate that fits as the driver and passenger were just a tad on the super fat side.Usually they have princess plates or some kinda sh*t.This was the first one I've seen being honest.

If your almost all the way opened you could have the block off alignment just a little and it will under gas the thing.Also check the diamater of the gas bleed hole in the barrel there have been some that are undersized .Ar15 are standard pattern and you can look up the diameter.Another thing to look at is your buffer weight .To heavy and it really takes a lot to get it to cycle to light and you beat up your gun cycles to hard and fast .Get it right and they are smooth and reliable.

One shot then out a turn on the gas block then repeat till it locks then add 1/4 to 1/2 turn after it locks to insure it locks with various charges reliably.

The big thing with shooting a 50 cal muzzleloader out to 300 or more is the energy that's left.The gun drops fast once you get to the 200 yard mark and then there is your bullet .Look at what you need for volocity for it to expand correctly.It does no good to shoot far if your gun won't have the energy or the expansion to do the job.Most muzzleloaders that shoot to 300 or more are 45 cal.Hornady has test results on there site and at 250yds they were 1389 volocity and 1070 energy on there test gun with a +3 inch at 100 zero and 11 inch drop at 250 . With a 150 gr powder charge .At 300 your going to loose more energy and speed .With the blackhorn if you can weigh your charges out the tubes are always wrong for volume.It will atleast make your shots more consistent.

We do a lot of hunting up there and I've seen the same thing with the elk and antalope .I also saw some deer mixed in with them .Thought it was crazy to see them all together.My buddies brother works up there a lot and ran across three lions a few years back walking across the 83 road.Good luck on your hunt

Good luck on your hunt .I always get weird looks at the range when shooting my contender .People haven't seen one and are usually asking what it is .I've got a scoped 357.harret and a 44 mag

209 is non corrosive and you can clean with standard gun cleaners.Burns a little cleaner and they say it gives a increase in volocity.I haven't Cronographed to confirm.Its the powder of choice for my paramount pro.

Its already expensive enough and then they made the container smaller😭 .My muzzleloader eats that stuff up like nobody's business at 112 gr by weight.That sucks!!!

Get in contact with the Desert big horn sheep society they have a lot of information and usually a bunch of guys willing to help.They helped my buddy's boy bag his sheep out by quartzite.

Thanks it's the archery kibab hunt for us.

I hope today .I know I've got a kibab tag but don't know if its archery in August or muzzleloader in November.

For anyone looking into pig hunting here is a rundown on cost. Outa state license $184 Pig tags are $84 a piece you can get as many as you'd like. Most guides are around $1200 for a few days . You will definitely be in pigs !! I towed my trailer and payed for full hook ups for 5 days.Paso Robles Rv park $328. Fuel was stupid rediculus at over $7 bucks or more a gallon. Experience priceless !!! Its a hunt I've wanted to do for a few years. If I had the opportunity I'd probably go do the Texas route if I could get some buddies talked into going.

Dad and I did the elk hunt a few years back .What beautiful country .We were just outside Durango.Snow had us locked down to lower elevations.The only elk we saw was a cow at the Applebees parking lot.

Didn't that me to movement just cost Amber Johnny Depps x old lady like 10 mill.I wouldn't want to be in that crowd.

Feeling a little better today so here goes I've added some pictures of my adventures as you can see we are in the hills of paso Robles California.There is a picture of one of 3 tulie elk we Damm near hit with the guides truck.I don't like to stage my animals for pictures I just take them as they fell .I don't like the pictures that make everything look much bigger than it really is.THERE is a shot of a flock of turkey in the field just after I shot my pig.It wasn't the biggest pig we saw .That was my fault .Riding around in the truck I didn't chamber a round into the gun and had a pig on the move up a draw and was set to shoot it and got a abrupt click on a empty gun.

Elk every 5 to 6 years 6a rifle,every 2 to 3 muzzleloader and deer 12 a ,12b about 5or 6 years ,turkey in 6a was 5 years for the first tag and two between tags I've got 11 points for antalope but I'm not bitching.Some hunts are harder to draw than others and everyone has a chance.Sometimes it doesn't seem like it but it truly is about putting in for hunts you can reasonably have a chance to draw.I don't hunt for trophies so its about getting out there and putting in for hunts with reasonable draw odds.

Axis works,southern express,Phoenix custom rifles are the go to gunsmiths in and around Phoenix all are extremely good smiths
