Ronkonkoma, NY --(Ammoland.com)- Long Island Firearms, New
York’s foremost online firearms enthusiast community, reports today
that they have successfully completed a new phase in their community
outreach efforts.
Joe, Long Island Firearms’ Jacob’s Light Event Coordinator, reports a
very successful night readying care packages for our troops serving
overseas. Their service took place at the monthly packing event for
Jacob’s Light Foundation, headed by Dorine Kenny, mother of Jacob
Fletcher, a US Soldier killed serving his country in Iraq in 2003.

thing.” He went on to say that he and his fellow LIF members
were moved by the experience. “We were physically
exhausted at the end of the evening, but it was the best kind
of tired. We can’t wait to do this again.”
Steve, Administrator of Long Island Firearms, was heartened by the fact
that this event grew out of a desire from the membership.
“In the short time we’ve been a community, we’ve done
neighborhood cleanups through the Adopt-A- Highway
Program, we’ve had a Blood Drive, and now we’ve helped to
serve our Troops serving overseas.”
He added, “Its events like these that help us to come together
as a community and help our neighbors. It also helps to
dispel the stereotypes of firearms enthusiasts so prevalent in
the New York area.”
Jacobs Light’s mission is to send our military overseas necessities and
comforts from home. They focus on military without family or support
from home. They want to give them the support they need and to be a
lifeline from America. Their website is www.jacobsprogram.org

FWC Extends Crossbow Season& Restricts Firearms Used OnSpring Turkey HuntsSEP 01, 2010 05:06P.M.
FWC Extends Crossbow Season & Restricts Firearms Used On
Public-Land Spring Turkey Hunts
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
Pensacola Beach, Fl --(Ammoland.com)- The Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) passed a new rule Wednesday
in Pensacola Beach that will extend zonal crossbow seasons by a month,
thereby running concurrently with archery season, beginning July 2011.
The FWC received requests from Florida hunters who want more
crossbow-hunting opportunities – not only more hunting days, but also
to be allowed to take deer of either sex, which is legal in many other
states, including Georgia and Alabama.
Because of the request, the FWC checked with Florida’s hunters through
an online poll, and more than 70 percent of those who responded
supported increasing crossbow opportunities on private lands.
The new rule adds 30 days to the crossbow season in zones A, B and C,
and it adds 33 days in Zone D, thereby making it coincide with the
archery season.
Starting with the 2011-2012 hunting season, any hunter with a hunting
license, deer permit and crossbow permit will be able to get in the woods
a month early on private lands and use a crossbow (or a bow) to take
deer of either sex.

This rule is intended to give hunters more opportunities and enable
youths and others who have difficulty using a vertical bow to have more
hunting days, thereby helping to recruit and retain more people into the
tradition of hunting.
The Commission also passed another rule that limits the methods of take
allowed during spring turkey hunts on FWC-managed areas beginning,
with the next spring turkey season (March 2011). However, all legal bows
and crossbows are still allowed.
The new rule restricts firearms to shotguns and muzzleloading shotguns
only, using shot no larger than No. 2. All rifles, pistols, buckshot and
slugs are now prohibited during spring turkey hunts on wildlife
management areas (WMAs), except on Joe Budd WMA, Raiford WMA
and Santa Fe Swamp Wildlife and Environmental Area. On these three
areas, muzzleloading rifles will still be allowed, because spring turkey
hunting on these areas is restricted to primitive guns only.
This rule came about after public-land turkey hunters and others
expressed safety concerns, prompting the FWC to ask Florida’s hunters,
again through an online survey. More than 75 percent of those who
responded supported the restriction on firearms during spring turkey
hunts on WMAs.
“If we can save one life by passing this rule, it’s certainly
worth doing,” said Commissioner Ron Bergeron.

Horus Reticle Options for Leupold Mark 4 12-40x60mm Tactical
Spotting Scope
Leupold Tactical Optics
BEAVERTON, Ore. –-(Ammoland.com)- Leupold’s Tactical Optics
Division announces the addition of Horus reticle options for the Mark 4
12-40x60mm Tactical Spotting Scope.
Now available to civilian shooting enthusiasts, law enforcement
personnel and other armed professionals, this Mark 4 spotter is the
standard Scout Sniper Observation Telescope (SSOT) of the U.S. Marine
Corps.
Horus H32 and H36 reticles join the Leupold Mil Dot reticle as options.
The H32 has a mil line for target measurement and speed estimation,
while the H36 features an inverted “L” in Inch Of Angle (IOA) for easy
ranging. The Mil Dot reticle matches those found in Leupold Mark 4
riflescopes, allowing a spotter to quickly range a target, view the same
sight picture as the shooter and convey necessary adjustments.
“Our Mark 4 Tactical Spotting Scope provides additional
flexibility and capability, making the users that much more
effective,” said Kevin Trepa, Leupold’s vice president of
tactical sales and marketing.
“This spotter is superior in terms of clarity, brightness and
contrast. With the Horus and Mil Dot reticles, it becomes an
even more powerful tool, giving spotters and shooters a
common frame of reference and measurement, so
communication is efficient and effective. It’s an excellent
spotter for observation and other uses such as gathering hard
data, ranging targets, estimating target speeds and second-
shot correction.”

Horus Vision
Other key features of the Mark 4 Tactical Spotting Scope include
exceptional ruggedness, light weight (37 ounces), a 100% waterproof
body and premium optics. The extremely durable armored magnesium
body allows for this variable-power spotter to replace the fixed 20X M49
spotting scope that was used by the Marines since World War II.
Multicoat 4 lenses coupled with a light absorbing interior finish suppress
glare and provide an extraordinarily crisp and bright image. Leupold’s
efficient Folded Light Path (FLP) lens and mirror optical system allow
the Mark 4 to deliver the effective optical path of a scope twice its length.
Even at the highest magnification, the Mark 4 offers an expansive field of
view, allowing for easy tracking and locating of targets. The generous,
long eye relief and rubber fold-down eyecups make the Mark 4 spotter
comfortable to use for the prolonged period often experienced by the
Marine scout sniper. Leupold’s nitrogen charging system and sealing
technology ensure absolute waterproof performance.
Measuring 12.4 inches in length, the Mark 4 Tactical Spotting Scope
mounts on a tripod and comes with a form-fitting, padded soft-side case
with easy access panels. The case, which has a detachable strap, can
remain on the scope at all times, eliminating the need for lens covers.
For warranty information on Leupold Tactical Optics, call 1-800-
LEUPOLD or (503) 526-1400.
Leupold has offered precision optics for tactical applications since the
1985 introduction of Ultra riflescopes, which were designed to excel

WINNIPEG, Manitoba --(Ammoland.com)- Could a bumper crop of
snow geese be in the offing for waterfowl hunters this year?
Dr. Robert “Rocky” Rockwell, a biology professor at City University of
New York and one of North America’s leading authorities on snow geese,
thinks so. Rockwell says the summer nesting season in the subarctic
region of La Perouse Bay in northern Manitoba was “spectacular.”
“This is a huge production year,” says Rockwell, who was
concerned about nesting success after last year’s dismal
production. “This was the most bizarrely wet year I’ve ever
seen up there. The birds nested 9 or 10 days earlier than
normal, and as a result nest success was very high.”
Translation: Goose hunters are staring down the barrel of
what could be a banner fall flight.
“Predicting hunting can be a fool’s errand, and I never like to
do it, but the upcoming season appears to be shaping up
awfully well,” says Delta Waterfowl President Rob Olson.
“My message to goose hunters is this: get ready. The
migration could be packed with young-of-the-year birds.”
Rockwell agrees. He says high nest success means lots of juveniles will be
making the flight south.
“We’re talking about juvenile to adult ratios of 1.5 to 1,” says
Rockwell, “which means those puppies are going to be sucked
right into decoy spreads. Harvest always goes up when you
have a high juvenile-to-adult ratio, so I think there’s good
opportunity and I think it’s going to be early, because geese
are already moving south.”
Snow Goose Production Up
Rockwell says snow and Ross’ geese are foraging heavily on berries
inland from the Hudson Bay coast. Thousands are currently south of the
normal La Perouse Bay breeding range near the Broad River and are
staging all the way to the Ontario/Manitoba border.
The eastern arctic is also looking good, says Dr. Jim Leafloor, a research
scientist for Environment Canada who just returned from a banding
program on Baffin Island.
“We’re expecting good production on Baffin, for all species,
not just snows,” says Leafloor. “On South Hamption Island
it’s the same deal, so the eastern arctic seems to be doing well
this year.”
It’s a slightly different story in the central arctic. The migratory bird
sanctuary at Karrak Lake south of Queen Maud Gulf is the breeding
ground for 10 to 15 percent of the mid-continent snow goose population.
“Production of young at Karrak Lake has declined in the last
four years,” says Dr. Ray Alisauskas, a research scientist with
Environment Canada who’s been studying the colony since
1991. “There was later-than-average nesting due to delayed
snow melt and delays in nutrient storage, stemming from
reduced food availability because of very high densities of
geese on subarctic feeding areas.”
While nesting productivity is down, Alisauskas says overall populations
of both snow and Ross’ geese remain very high. The number of nesting
geese at Karrak Lake has grown from 400,000 to more than a million in
less than 10 years. A recent assessment found survival rates have not
declined since 1989, even with concerted efforts to reduce the population
through liberalized hunting regulations and a special spring conservation
hunt.
“This harvest is showing that it’s sustainable,” says
Alisauskas. “These birds are so resilient. You see video in the
spring and you say, ‘Wow these birds are getting pounded
quite hard,’ but when you look at the estimates of survival,
they haven’t changed in the last 20 years.”
Olson says their sublime taste hasn’t changed in 20 years, either. Delta’s
president isn’t a preacher, but he has become an evangelist for snow
geese, which he says are among the most underrated waterfowl species
for the pot. In fact, he insists they’re among the best.
“I don’t know where the propaganda started, but the myth
that snow geese are inedible is just that—a myth,” he said. “I
think they’re absolutely delicious—certainly not winged liver,
as some have suggested— and I challenge hunters this year to
prepare these succulent birds for their friends and family.
They won’t be disappointed.”

United Special Sportsman’s Alliance Kids Bear Hunt
United Special Sportsman’s Alliance
Pittsville Wisconsin --(Ammoland.com)- “When I first
started this charity, I never dreamed it would become the
largest outdoor wish granting charity in the Nation for kids
and families who endure life-threatening and chronic
illnesses.”
Those words from Brigid O’Donoghue, the founder and CEO of the
United Special Sportsman’s Alliance, a strictly volunteer 501(c)(3)
charity that has granted thousands hunting and outdoor wishes for
children in over 34 states.
Excitement mounts as each year, the growing group of young hunters
head out into the woods on what will most likely be their only chance to
ever hunt a bear.
Many of the kids have critical illnesses, all of which are overcome by help
from gracious hunters who have donated their bear tags to them.
“There are no boundaries and no limitations here,” says

O’Donoghue, “It’s all about the kids and we make a way for
them”.
Land owners, guides and a multitude of volunteers transport, care for
and take these kids hunting. The donations from sportsmen make
incredible life-long memories everyone who is involved.
United Special Sportsman’s Alliance Kids Bear Hunt
Taxidermists donate the mounts for each child that gets a bear, helping
to keep the memory forever lasting in the lives of the kids and their
families.
The pictures, the videos and the mounts are often the reminders of some
incredible moments of sharing after a child who participated loses the
battle with disease or illness.
This season, 41 tags have been acquired, making this the
largest bear hunt ever to take place in the world.
Last season, 39 tags were made available and 27 bear were harvested by
the children who took part in the hunt.
O’Donoghue says, “I can’t say enough how thankful we are.
The families, the volunteers, even other charities have made a
collective effort to create this opportunity and to pass on
excitement and tradition”.
She adds that it is a massive effort, but the smiles and the stories from
the kids and from all of those who take part make it a very worthwhile
endeavor.

A Political Victory For All GunOwnersSEP 01, 2010 11:24A.M.
A Political Victory For All Gun Owners
A shining moment for California’s Gun owners who flexed their
collective power and made their voices heard!
DEFEATED:
• AB 1810(Feuer) – Registration of Rifles and Shotguns
• AB 1934 (Saldana) – Handgun Open Carry Prohibition
• AB 2358 (De Leon) – Ammunition Registration
California Rifle and Pistol Association
Sacramento, CA --(Ammoland.com)- All three of these bills posed a
fundamental threat to the rights of gun owners. And there was no room
for compromise any one of the bills.
It was a fight down to midnight, but in the late hours of August 31, AB
1810, AB 1934, and AB 2358 were DEFEATED!
This is a huge win for gun owners. Thank you to all members who took

time to contact members of legislature and voice their strong opposition
to these bills. Your collective voice was heard loud and clear at the
capitol. You stoked the fire against AB 1810, AB 1934, and AB 2358 and
it paid off!
If enacted, Assembly Bill 1810 would have required registration of rifles
and shotguns in the same way handguns are now registered in California.
Under current law, the information collected at the time of purchase of a
rifle or shotgun (serial number, make, and model) is destroyed after the
background check is completed. AB 1810 would have required that the
make, model, and serial number of the firearm, as well as the identifying
information of the purchaser, be recorded and kept on file by the
California Department of Justice.
If enacted, AB 1934 would have deleted provisions of current law that
allows a firearm to be carried openly in a belt holster. AB 1934 did not
provide a way for a law-abiding citizen to carry a firearm for self-
protection or other legitimate purposes.
If signed into law, AB 2358 would have required that ammunition
vendors transmit records of sale, information on the quantity and type of
ammunition purchased, and the personal information of purchasers
collected at the time of sale to local law enforcement if required by city or
county ordinance. AB 2358 would have also allowed uncontrolled
expansion of city and county ordinances requiring handgun ammunition
vendors to transmit all information collected relating to sales of handgun
ammunition and some rifle cartridges to local law enforcement agencies.
THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING OUT AND HELPING TO
PRESERVE YOUR RIGHTS!
The California Rifle and Pistol Association “CRPA,” founded in 1875, is
dedicated to defending the rights of law-abiding citizens to responsibly
use firearms for self-defense and the defense of their loved ones, for
sport, and for all other legal activities. CRPA is the official state
association of the National Rifle Association. A California non-profit
association, CRPA is independently directed by its own Board of
Directors. CRPA’s members include law enforcement officers,
prosecutors, professionals, firearm experts, the general public, and
loving parents. CRPA has always worked to reduce the criminal misuse
of firearms and firearms accidents, while actively promoting and
organizing the competitive shooting sports and Olympic training
programs in California. We are proud to say that many CRPA
competitors are among the best in the world.

Elk Champion Jake Clark Inducted to Wyoming Outdoor Hall
of Fame
Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation
MISSOULA, Mont. --(Ammoland.com)- Cowboy, outfitter,
conservationist and devoted champion of the Rocky Mountain Elk
Foundation, Jake Clark of Powell, Wyo., will be inducted into the
Wyoming Outdoor Hall of Fame on Sept. 10.
A ceremony in Casper, Wyo., will recognize 2010 inductees selected for
“significant and lasting lifetime contributions to the conservation of
Wyoming’s outdoor heritage.” Previous honorees include President
Theodore Roosevelt, Curt Gowdy, Olaus Murie, George Bird Grinnell and
many other names familiar to hunters and conservationists.
The Wildlife Heritage Foundation of Wyoming sponsors the special
honor and event.
An early and ardent supporter of RMEF’s mission to ensure the future of
elk, other wildlife and their habitat, Clark has been a standout
contributor to the organization’s conservation fundraisers. His donated
hunts, pack trips, mules and other stock have generated $460,000 in
funding for conservation. Clark also gives countless hours of volunteer
labor, leads the ring crew for auctions and ladies’ luncheons at RMEF
annual conventions, has served on the organization’s board of directors,
appeared on the RMEF television show and, along with wife Kay, was
honored in 2000 with the highest honor given by RMEF–the Wallace
Fennell Pate Wildlife Conservation Award.

“Elk country is richer today because of Jake Clark,” said
David Allen, RMEF president and CEO. “Jake is a man of few
words but infinite energy and passion for wild country, and
we congratulate him on this well deserved honor.”
With leadership from Clark and spirited help from some 10,000 fellow
volunteers, RMEF this summer passed the 5.8 million mark in acres
conserved or enhanced for wildlife.
About the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation:
Snowy peaks, dark timber basins and grassy meadows. RMEF is leading
an elk country initiative that has conserved or enhanced habitat on over
5.8 million acres–a land area equivalent to a swath three miles wide and
stretching along the entire Continental Divide from Canada to Mexico.
RMEF also works to open, secure and improve public access for hunting,
fishing and other recreation. Get involved at www.rmef.org or 800-CALL
