Shooting/Hunting tips of the month

TIP 1.

If you shoot a stainless steel or nickel plated revolver, you know that after a lengthy shooting session, removing the black discolouration that appears at the front of the cylinder is not simple.

Most solvents and oils just don't work fast enough removing it. A chemical compound that will completely remove this black residue in one pass is called 'Blue Away', available from Brownells.

TIP 2.

What does it take to score a magic 'one shot' kill again and again when hunting? 2 things.

The first is understanding where the heart, lungs and major blood vessels are in the animal you intend hunting. If you know the location of such vital organs, then you know where to aim, at any angle the animal presents itself.

The second is marksmanship. This takes practice, practice and more practice - enough to consistently hit the vital organs every time from any angle.

Steady practice, year-round, every year.

Remember, no amount of money will buy a gun that will kill humanely in unskilled or unknowing hands.

TIP 3.

Use your night vision binocular to get back to camp after dark, or use it to get to your favourite whitetail stand before dawn without using a flashlight and alarming the deer.
