    Tristar Shotguns any Good?

    I know this is off topic but I'm a big believer in letting any beginner shotgun hunter learn to hunt with a single shot shotgun. That is how I was started on shotgunning and it will make you make that first shot count. I guess you could just let them load one shell to achieve the same result though.

    Last day for Slick......

    Been there, done that. Absolutely the hardest thing to do, for me at least. I get heavily emotionally invested in my dogs.

    Freezer Paper vs Vacuum Seal - What's Better?

    Vacuum sealing for me. I have a chamber vac sealer too and bought heavy duty bags from a restaurant supply website, forget exactly how thick they are but never have a puncture or tear.
