Re: OT: Canadain Firearm Buy Back Program

Now, if Ontario would only join in. It might not be the death of the confiscation, but it would at least help to undermine the program.

Re: OT: Canadain Firearm Buy Back Program

:eusa-hand: We must have some East Coasters who visit here. The folks there may be pretty busy cleaning up after the hurricane. However, this would be a good time for them to ponder whether Police resources should be diverted from real policing. Policing, such as protecting lives and property after ...

Re: OT: Canadain Firearm Buy Back Program

Once the Saskatchewan government speaks officially, hopefully Manitoba will be next. Maybe even Ontario, after all, this can be framed as a fiscal issue? Then questions in the House of Commons?

Re: OT: Canadain Firearm Buy Back Program

There is such a mix of legal and political issues intertwined in this prohibition cluster duck. Alberta is making the political element harder for Trudeau, and that's good news. It doesn't, though, make the legal position for a firearms owner a whole lot more comfortable, while the politics play out...

Re: Blood tracking lights

The topic of blood tracking lights was thrashed over in this site a lot in earlier threads. New members may want to join in a discussion with you, but if you don't get another response, try doing a search of older threads. I'd be careful of reviews. I was intrigued by reviews on Cabelas site when I ...

Re: Heads up - Buy your arrows in 2022 for 2023

"Name one thing that has lowered in price over the years?"

Interest rates.

If we don't have money enough saved to buy something we want, we buy it with borrowed money. Borrowing is cheap. For now.

Re: New Scope Adjustments

That's pretty much the strategy for hunters using a red dot sight. Depending on distance to target, shade up or shade down. For Big Game, it's practical. Shoot lots so you have a feel for how much shading would be best for close up or reaching out. Even if you don't "shade", at reasonable ...

Re: In Three Months

Congratulations. You beat the current odds of air travel, and the challenge of locating a brute like that one, and shooting it. Sixteen hundred pounds is a lot of moose. I imagine you’d get maybe six hundred pounds of boned out meat. How the heck did you stuff the horns and all that meat into your s...

Re: I'm pretty sure I need one of these

It’s not specifically the fact it has a pistol grip. If it’s less than a specified length and designed to be fired while being held in one hand, that’s what makes it bad.

Re: I'm pretty sure I need one of these

Here's the criminal code definition of "crossbow". The device doesn't have a bow, so you should be good to go, even if it fits the definition in other respects. That is, if you really, really want one! 84(1) In this Part, "cross-bow" means a device with a bow and a bowstring moun...

Safe Storage For Crossbows and Other Stuff

When Jean Chretien and Allan Rock came up with the Firearms Registry in Canada, they contemplated including crossbows in their registry. The PAL card even had crossbows listed as on possible item that could be approved. So, for those of us in Canada who own crossbows, maybe it's wise to think of our...

Re: In Three Months

I have to admit that I was worried for him that he would get hung up in Vancouver....either that he got separated from his gear, or that the airport circus prevented him from making connecting flights.

Things must have worked out for him, or by now he'd be posting in a lathered up rage.
