Magnum, Defined

"It's a magnum."

Okay... so what? What does that mean, anyhow?

This article ought to help folks understand what "magnum" means as it applies to guns and ammunition.

Hunting & Shooting Quick Tips From a Life-Long Hunter

A lifetime of hunting has taught me a few things, and every now and then I get smart enough to put some of them down in writing. Dad taught me that learning is a lifelong process, and as usual, he was right... so I'm going to keep on learning.

Meanwhile, I'll do my best to share my knowledge with others, just like Dad always did. He was always willing to help, always in the most practical way. Therefore, I've condensed some of my most important hunting lessons into handy little tips that are easy to read, easy to remember, and won't take much time out of your busy day.

Sufix Fishing Line
I have used Sufix Line to win several tournaemnts. It comes in a varitey of strengths and types. I especially like the Sufix Elite and have it on several of my reels, from 4 to 14 pound test. It stays relatively limp in cold weather and holds up will with good abrasion resistance. And I like the fact it is hard for fish to see in the water, even if it is hard for me to see, too.
