    You really don’t even need a bore sight thingamabob. You can do it the old-fashioned way.

    Bore site vid

    I do it that way, but I’ve seen some guys use a laser. I would just do it at 30-50 feet or so. The whole point being to get on paper, so you can do your final adjustment on the range.

    No problems with a Glock .40. Good weapon all around. Don’t know if you are a handloader, but the only trick to remember for .40s&w is to keep the overall length of cartridge beneath 1.135 inches or you can run into magazine feeding problems. This can happen if your using heavy projectiles up around 200 grains.

    But if you’re not worried about anything like that, and you’re getting a good deal, go for it. Most Glocks are great pistols right out of the box. May want to put some night sites on it, as a previous poster mentioned.

    Wensel Woodsman broadheads (the most imporant part, other than game)
    Cedar arrow.
    Lots of patience.

    I’ll be out. But down south a bit. Either around Forestville or Beaver Creek state parks. Don’t know which one yet.

    Lake Fork Tackle Repair Video. Costs a little bit, but is very good.

    Site sponsor, Hooked on Fishing, does repair, and I’m sure would answer any questions you have.

    Net nanny software is pretty good. It is about 3 to 4 bucks a month. Here is the link. You can download a limited free trial version for awhile.

    Haven’t thought of it yet. How do you determine if it is the ligament. More X-Rays???

    Of course children are the future of fishing. But I think there is a mistake made in some circles that some flashy toy is the answer to enjoying it.

    Kids should be mentored in fishing like everything else. We all fish for various reasons, but at the end of the day many of them are the same. Relaxation, being in the outdoors, experiencing nature, gathering food, and spending time with family and friends are first and foremost.

    Having value these things and becoming a good sportsman or sportswoman is much more important than getting kids some kind of silly throw-away-in-a-year type of equipment.

    If you want kids to value fishing equipment, than get them something worth valuing. For instance, when my dad was teaching me to fish and I was old enough, he built me a flyrod. It was just a 7′ fiberglass rod, but at that time it was something special. I still have that rod to this day.

    I’m all for getting kids on the water, but using that sentiment to sell some cheap gimmick doesn’t seem right to me; even if it seems to be a popular marketing plan these days.

    Once again, just my .02, from a curmudgeon.

    If you notice, it was the ICAST Kids product winner for 2005. I would HARDLY call Roland out on this one!


    I understand Roland has to make a living. But come on, what ever happened to a cane pole and panfish for teaching kids how to fish.

    This just seems like a silly gimmick guised under the “getting kids out on the water” sentiments. Many of us have taken kids fishing before, and, to me at least, they always have the most fun when they are catching fish.

    My .02 cents says, to give kids lost of fast, easy fishing action, and don’t make it too long. They will generally like it and be back for more. This just looks like a way for dad to spend money on something that is definitely not needed in the market.

    Once again just my thoughts.

    Glad to make your day.

    Be wary of those AZ strippers, from some one who knows.

    I’ll go back to my corner know.

    he hauls in the biggest stripper I have ever laid eyes on


    I like my strippers on the smaller side.

    Sorry, had to do it–made me laugh.

    I lived in Northern Arizona for 7 years before moving back to MN. There are very nice stripers in Lake Mead. Along with largemouth bass, crappies, sunnies, and some very big channel cats that almost no one targets. Most guys fish bass in them there parts.

    Which landing are you taking off from?

    I’ve used an Okuma metalloid for years for smallies and couldn’t be happier, good reel at a great price. I haven’t used the Inspira model so I can’t vouch for that, but the metalloid has been bullet-proof for me.

    I was there too. Always great to hear the boo birds come out from the fickle Vikings fans.

    The store itself is still a go I believe. They were thinking of putting a lodge themed Radisson hotel on top of the store. Here is an article on it. I think the hotel financing is the part that is an issue. We should still get a BPS store at the Mall. Now I’ll finally have something to do while the wife is there. We’ll see who can burn the plastic faster.

    So IF I buy one I can shoot like that????


    I think that’s what Beretta wants you to believe. If I got paid to shoot 50,000-75,000 round a year I could, well…..I still wouldn’t be as good as that guy.

    To answer your question though, I don’t own a Beretta Xtrema 2, but I have shot one. It is a very soft recoil and nice to shoot, if you can afford one.

    I have never hunted Grouse and would like to, I know my pointer would love it. Where is some good public land to hunt ( if you don’t mind sharing).


    Most of the state and national forests in northern MN hold decent populations of grouse. Grouse like edge cover, look for areas that have been cut a couple of years ago. Grouse like the transition from clear cut to old growth. If there is some wetland area nearby all the better.

    Look for food sources, if a certain berry is in abundance at the time you are hunting, I would start there. I like to start in the lower areas and work my to higher ground.

    Remember in grouse hunting success is dictated by the number of birds flushed, not hit, they are hard buggers to shoot. Welcome to the addiction known as grouse hunting.
