The British are an arrogant people who think their nation's long history of looting, plundering and disrespecting burgeoning cultures gives them a title of aristocracy. The fact of the matter is simple: British people are a droll, lifeless lot who do not respect core values such as determined work and personal hygiene. I'm terribly vexed after watching yesterday's opening round of the Ryder Cup. Our American team is solid this year. Even with the controversial wildcard addition of Tiger Woods, […]

Stoeger X-20 .177 Gas Ram Conversion
March 08, 2011, 07:42:15 PM »
OK so the first Stoeger X-20 Gas Ram conversion is done. Parts that made up the conversion were, one gas ram, one GRS NP Bushing Kit, one set of custom brass breech pivot washers. (same washers that are used on Crosman NP & XL gas rams), one GRT-III trigger, new seal, new hand spun trigger block assy. I also spun a generic barrel shroud for aesthetics's.
Tried and tested and I was very happy with the outcome. Very solid with smooth shooting and cocking cycle. Basically the Stoeger another clone of the old B-19. Same basic power plant as the Gamo 1000 series air guns and the Crosman line of 1000 fps shooters such as the Quest, Summit, Phantom etc. Just different names and different style stocks.
From what I could see is the Stoeger is made at the same factory as the Crosman's I mentioned above as well as the newer gas ram Trail's, Titan's, Venom's etc.
The Stoeger is a good built gun. I would say with it being a full steel barrel it is one up on most of the newer Gamos with the thin rifled tube wrapped in polly barrels. And I would have to give Crosman the edge over the Stoeger only for one reason and it is my own personal opinion. The Stoeger has double chisel lock up which is good but not always aligned properly. Where the newer Croman and Gamo's have the chisel and cross pin lock up. One of the nicest things about the Stoeger wood stocks is that they are very nice..
My preference..
The overall performance of the Gas Ram conversion on the new Stoeger really puts it in a new class. IMO the same class as the new Crosman series Gas Ram. Even though the gas rams are not an option from the factory it is a nice project gun to do the coversion on. You just need a lathe and mill to make the parts needed for the conversion.
One note: Gas Rams, are not all created equal.

Hopefully this weekend the weather will hold and I can sneak away for a little trigger time. I'll do a more thorough review of the gun if I can wipe the tears of joy and the big smile off my face long enough to see the keyboard.
The X20 pictured above arrived at it's new home yesterday. I was at work but could NOT resist tearing into the boxes. And what greeted me was another superb example of Gene's masterful works. I had to just stand and admire it for a few seconds before lifting it out of the box.
The weight and balance are excellent. The wood on these is quite nice. The custom shroud sets this carbine right off, like a top hat to a tuxedo. LOL
I brought a CP 4-16X40 AO/IR scope with me to work, already mounted to a 3 bolt Leapers medium mount. I slapped that on and handled the gun a bit just to get the feel. Wow....
It was cold and windy here yesterday afternoon but I couldn't wait for the weekend. After work, I drove to the back of our lot where we have a burn pit. I set up an old skid and attached some targets I printed off. I backed off about 25 yards and sat on the tailgate. First shot low 6" and right 4". Took 5 shots to walk the scope in but she nailed the bull from then on. MAN, can you say sweet??? This piece cocks smooth as silk. Shoulders very well and extremely steady. Squeeze the GRT and you ARE gonna hit what you are looking at and the follow through is not an issue. Firing cycle is what I've come to expect from a Master Gene tune. MANY thanks Bawanah for a sweet shooter.
Last night I decided to chance firing into my duct sealed pellet trap at 20' to get some Chrony numbers. I was a little uneasy, thinking this thing MIGHT punch right through the duct seal and steel back of the trap into the wall. I would be in deep poo-poo if that happened.
But, thankfully the duct seal held up, but the rounds were VERY close to hitting the steel plate in the back of the trap. I was very pleasantly surprised to see the gun shooting in the high 800's. Average was around 885fps with CPHP. And yes, another shooter for me that LIKES CPHP.
The spread was around 19fps in a 10 shot string but I'm not REAL confident in my Chrony readings indoors with the lighting I have. I want to get it outside for a real string and several different pellets.
I'll wrap this edition of the review up by saying if Gene offers another of these guns up, you BETTER jump all over it!!!! This is one FINE shooter and will make a fantastic addition to any arsenal.
Thanks again Bawanah Gene!!!!
Happy Shooting!!!!

Chilton, Jr. The firm says on its website that it has evolved from managing one long-short equity strategy to managing numerous strategies across various sectors globally. Chilton's $3.44 billion fourth quarter portfolio comprises 166 stocks. Chilton initiated positions in Abbott Laboratories (ABT), U.S. Bancorp (USB), Macy's Inc. (M), and TransDigm Group Inc. (TDG). It sold its stakes in Genesco Inc. (GCO), Bally Technologies Inc. (BYI), and CarMax Inc. (KMX).
The firm describes itself as "a global investment management firm that aims to produce superior investment returns by aggressively seeking capital appreciation in rising markets and preserving capital in declining markets." Chilton further states, "The firm takes a long-term perspective as it endeavors to maintain a focused, disciplined portfolio that consistently generates profits for its clients over time."
But if I knew how to manage my portfolio safer and smarter than most hedge fund managers, I could realistically grow my wealth.

There aren't many industries in which one can endure a season-ending injury and still finish the year on top. But that's what happened to Lady Gaga, who ranks highest of all musicians on the 2013 edition of FORBES' Celebrity 100 power list.
The Queen Monster earned $80 million over the past 12 months–and would have banked even more had it not been for a hip injury that cut her Born This Way Ball Ball Tour short. The excursion grossed $168 million through January; had Gaga been able to finish the tour, she would have likely topped $200 million. Even so, her massive social media presence—including 38 million Twitter followers and 58 million Facebook Facebook fans—helps make her the top musician on our list.
Gaga is one of six musicians in the Celeb 100's top ten this year. She's followed by Beyoncé, who returns to the upper reaches of our list thanks to her Mrs. Carter World Tour—a nod to husband Jay-Z, whom she out-ranks once again. In addition to grossing over $2 million in every city she plays, she still collects cash from old hits and non-musical ventures including new deals with Pepsi and H&M, as well as her House of Dereon clothing line.
The number three musician on our list is Madonna. Though the Material Girl earned more than any other member of the Celeb 100, she didn't rank quite as highly as Gaga or Beyonce when it came to press and social media, hence her overall standing. But with income of $125 million over the past 12 months, she's laughing all the way to the proverbial bank.
Perhaps nobody grasps the importance of social media better than Justin Bieber, the sixth-ranked musician on our list.
"It used to be there was a mystery to the artist," Bieber told FORBES in an interview for last year's Celeb 100 cover story. "Now there's, like, no mystery—the fans want the connection, they want to see you Instagramming at a coffee shop in the morning."
The Celebrity 100 measures money and fame, which includes estimated earnings over the last 12 months, and how often each celebrity is mentioned in print and on TV. Our formula also considers marketability and social networking strength across 11 social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Earnings consist of pretax income between June 1, 2012 and June 1, 2013, before taxes and fees for managers, agents and attorneys.
Of course, social media status and press mentions aren't everything. Despite a middling power rank, Toby Keith earned $65 million–and a spot on our cover.
"I'm not running for president," says the country superstar. "I wouldn't want that job. I wouldn't want to take the cut in pay, either."

There are tons of glitches in iMovie, iDVD, and iPhoto. (They just fixed them in the 10.4.5 update.) I think it was a premature release for iLife overall.
iWeb kind of let me down with it's ability to customize the templates, but you can kind of "trick it" to do what you want. The pages are written in bloated code with frames, which is very slow to load. For some reason large text is converted to an image when uploaded. Here's my site created completely with iWeb. Digital Memories Over all I think it's a decent program, but not for *serious* web developers. The only reason I used it for my website is that I wanted something easy to update and change, and with GoLive on GoDaddy.com, it's not that easy. I think it's a decent purchase, but if you're content with iLife '05 and don't want to spend the $, you're not missing much. However, if you need a pretty simple website creation program, and not looking for a ton of customization, then iWeb might be right for you. :mac: I try to Command+Shift+/ when I can.

iWeb really that spectacular, and I agree that the whole package feels a bit rushed-> iMovie was unusable for me until the recent patch came out. I think primarily the work was done on making the apps universal binaries... |

For the average user, iWeb is an incredible piece of software. Someone with no web design experience can wip up a good looking site in 30 minutes.
At the same time, it's certainly no GoLive or Dreamweaver (not that it tries to be). It's just not customizable enough. I do look forward to seeing future releases of it, though. |

After the game, Canada made its final roster cut, releasing forward Felix Girard. The team cut Hunter Shinkaruk and Damon Severson on Saturday.
Andre Burakovsky scored and added an assist for Sweden, while Lukas Bengtsson and Andreas Johnson added goals.
Jake Paterson made 31 saves for Canada.
Burakovsky opened the scoring at the 2:37 mark of the second period. A backhand pass by Jacob de la Rose from behind the goal confused Paterson, leaving a wide-open net.
Before the game, Burakovsky stirred up some controversy when he asserted that the Swedish team would be stronger in the tournament.
"I know what kind of team Canada will be showing up with, and if I take a look at what they have and compare them to what we have, I would have to say, on paper, we have a much better team," said Burakowsky.
Canadian defenceman Mathew Dumba was assessed a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct in the second period for kneeing forward Erik Karlsson, who did not return, and Johnson took advantage on the power play — making it 2-0 with a second left in the five-minute man advantage, one-timing a pass from behind the goal line by Alexander Wennberg.
Bengtsson rounded out the scoring, also on the power play, 2:35 into the third period.
The Canadians struggled in the first, getting outshot 16-5, but the game was scoreless at the first intermission.
In other action, the U.S. edged Finland 3-2. American goalie Jon Gillies mad 38 saves, including a second-period penalty shot and five point-blank shots in the final minute.
The world junior championship opens on Boxing Day in Malmo, Sweden. The defending champion U.S. faces the Czech Republic, while Canada takes on Germany.

BP Comment Quick Links
October 2, 2001 The Daily ProspectusAL MVPIn one forum or another, I've chimed in on three of the four biggest postseason awards. I haven't had the opportunity to talk about AL MVP yet, so I figured I'd take a look today. While there are still six days left in the AL season, it's fair to say that not much about the MVP race should change between now and Sunday.One of the reasons I haven't said much is that I've pretty much felt that Alex Rodriguez was the clear choice. This reflects his greatness, as well as my bias towards up-the-middle players in the voting. Despite the collapse of the Rangers around him A-Rod has been a rock, hitting .323/.404/.633 with 51 home runs, and throwing in 18 steals at an 86% success rate to boot. Without anyone in the AL having a Barry Bonds year, that looks like an MVP to me. A-Rod included, there are four candidates that I feel are worthy of being part of the discussion, plus two other players who appear to be candidates in the mainstream media. I'll deal with the latter two first. Juan Gonzalez has had an excellent season for the Indians, but his performance as a corner outfielder/DH pales next to that of Rodriguez: .334/.379/.606 is a hell of a season, but his EqA of .331 is a bit behind A-Rod's .344, and that doesn't address the positional difference. Gonzalez gets a boost in the voters' minds from his RBI total, which is a whopping 140. However, as we're fond of pointing out, RBIs are about opportunity as much as ability, and Gonzalez has had a lot of opportunities: 269 at-bats with runners on base, 155 with runners in scoring position. There are other problems with Gonzalez's candidacy. One is his playing time. He's going to finish the season with fewer than 140 games played, as nagging injuries have limited his availability. That's a lot of time going to Wil Cordero and Russ Branyan, time that candidates like Rodriguez and Jason Giambi have been in the lineup. Another problem is that Gonzalez isn't the best player on his team. Jim Thome has had a much better year at the plate, while Roberto Alomar has been about the same offensive contributor (.334 vs .331 EqA, in Gonzalez's favor) while playing second base. In light of all this, Gonzalez can't get my support for AL MVP; he's just an RBI candidate. On the other hand, Gonzalez is arguably a better MVP candidate than another right fielder, Ichiro Suzuki. Gonzalez blows away Suzuki at the plate--.334 EqA to .309--although Suzuki makes up a lot of that ground with his extra 150 or so PAs, so that the gap in Runs Above Replacement Position is a virtual dead heat. Some of those 150 PAs are due to lineup effects, but a lot of it is due to Ichiro staying in the lineup, where Gonzalez hasn't. The case for Suzuki rests in large part on his importance to the Mariners' success, as well as his own performance with runners in scoring position--a ridiculous .455/.516/.553--and his defensive value. Well, the first point is easily dismissed: like Gonzalez, Ichiro isn't the best player on his team. That honor goes to Bret Boone. I'm inclined to give Ichiro the credit for the RISP performance, for two reasons. One, I think he may be the rare player for whom this reflects an actual skill, rather than luck. Ichiro's approach at the plate, which produces a ton of singles in any case, may be best-suited for situations in which a base hit will mean one or two runs. The other reason is that the performance clearly has value, and we're measuring his value, not his potential to replicate the performance going forward. Ichiro's defense is another story. His reputation is stellar, and by observation, he seems like an excellent fielder. That said, his defensive statistics are nothing special. He's second in Range Factor, but that stat, like RBI, has opportunity problems. Ichiro is sixth in the AL in Zone Rating, and has just eight assists. Want to make the case that guys just are "afraid to run on him?" Well, Raul Mondesi, Tim Salmon, and Jermaine Dye all have double-figure assist totals, and they all have established reputations as good throwers. Put it all together, and I have a hard time considering Ichiro as a top-of-the-ballot candidate. I'm pretty sure he'll be on my ballot, but he's not the most valuable player in the league. That leaves my top four, and they're a bear to separate: AVG OBP SLG EqA EqR RAP RARP VORP Roberto Alomar .336 .414 .544 .334 122.3 55.6 73.4 79.3 Bret Boone .333 .372 .577 .328 125.5 53.9 72.9 84.0 Jason Giambi .339 .474 .643 .383 151.5 76.1 96.2 98.5 Alex Rodriguez .323 .404 .633 .344 144.7 75.8 94.1 97.5
(For more on these statistics, check out
our daily updates page.)
Let's deal with the first two as a unit. They play the same position for
playoff teams, and clearly are at an offensive disadvantage compared to the
latter two. As hitters, the two are hard to separate. Alomar's raw numbers
are better than Boone's, but Safeco Field is a lousy hitters' park, which is
why the advanced metrics developed by Clay Davenport and Keith Woolner show
the two to be even.
Defensively, Boone appears to be having the better year. The two are in a
virtual dead heat in double plays and range factor, while Boone holds a big
advantage in Zone Rating (.857, second in the AL, against Alomar's .789,
11th in the league). Boone has an insignificant edge in innings at second
base. Both players are good defenders by reputation.
In a race this close, I'm willing to at least glance at other factors, but I
don't think that gets us anywhere. You can argue that without Boone, the
Mariners would still be in the playoffs, while without Alomar, the Indians
would be in a dogfight with the Twins. You can also argue that Boone
replaced A-Rod and gave the Mariners the power they desperately needed
behind John Olerud, enabling them to have a monster season. This is
one reason I shy away from "intangible" arguments: they're made
not to find the truth, but to advocate a position one already holds.
With a need to get this column done, I'll take Boone, based on the apparent
defensive edge. It would be hard to find two players having great seasons
closer in value, though.
Now we get to the two best players in the league by just about any metric:
Jason Giambi and Alex Rodriguez. Giambi is outhitting A-Rod, while Rodriguez
is playing shortstop every day. As with Alomar and Boone, the differences
between the two players cancel out when you look at the advanced metrics:
Giambi holds a slim lead over A-Rod in RARP and VORP, two excellent measures
of offensive value.
Again, in a decision this close, it's worth looking at other factors. Giambi
is the apparent leader of a playoff team, a team that is probably the
second-best in baseball. Rodriguez's Rangers have been out of the race for
months. That's not enough on its own to disqualify A-Rod. I can't
emphasize that enough, and I am firmly opposed to the idea that only players
on winning teams should be considered for MVP (especially when the
proponents of that notion are perfectly capable of ignoring it when
convenient). But in choosing between two players who are equally great, it
is valid to at least consider factors outside of their control, so long as
those factors don't become the rationale for silly decisions.
That leaves me with my own bias towards up-the-middle players, the one that
had me thinking "A-Rod Uber Alles" for most of the season. I
believe that the stats above do a good job in correcting for the positional
differences, but I also believe that having a great up-the-middle player
makes putting the rest of a winning team together easier. That said, I think
Giambi's performance for an A's team that might win 100 games carries a bit
more weight than that factor. Jason Giambi, MVP.

Flex-Test, Really! This bow piles-up arrows like you've never seen before. If you're even a decent shot, you are going to be smacking your practice arrows together all day long. Please - please - please don't forget to flex test your arrows between rounds and immediately destroy any damaged arrows. |
Obsession Bows have caused a frenzy here in the shop. Since the moment we added the Obsession bows to our list, our sales office has been flooded with calls and emails. In the pro shop, keeping up with demand has been an ongoing nightmare. The factory literally can't make them fast enough. This is the hottest bow line we've ever handled. The Phoenix doesn't get quite as much attention as its close-cousin Evolution model, but the Phoenix has an even more forgiving 7" brace height and an even smoooother draw cycle. Many of us think the Phoenix is the better pick and literally the finest shooting bow in the store. As you can see, the new Obsession Phoenix isn't just another parallel limb clone. The Phoenix is purpose-crafted, inch by inch, to be one of the finest hunting bows on the market today. If you're looking for a bow with the perfect balance of stealth, power, and forgiveness, the Phoenix is your best bet. Even considering the brutal 343 fps IBO Speed, the Phoenix draws easily, with no harsh transitions or sticky spots - and it fires without a twitch of hand shock. Incredible machine! All that aside, Obsession Bows aren't getting so much press just because of their speeds or smooth draw cycles. What has everyone really talking is how ridiculously quiet Obsession is - the Phoenix certainly included. We can't wait for you to try it. In every way, the Phoenix is an absolute top notch hunting bow we think you're going to love. Spend just one afternoon with this fantastic bow. If you don't 100% agree with us, send it back for a full refund - no hard feelings. Of course, we've loaded this great bow up with everything: rest, sight, arrows, stabilizer, bow case, wrist sling, mechanical release and MUCH MORE. But don't expect the box to be full of loose parts and assembly instructions, because this awesome rig comes ready for action the moment you unpack it from the case. Our pro-shop does all the work in-advance. So this awesome bowhunting rig arrives 100% ready to shoot. Scroll down for all the details. |
Dry-Fire Warning The Phoenix is an extreme bow that builds exceptional amounts of power. If you dry-fire this bow (releasing the string without an arrow), you WILL SERIOUSLY DAMAGE the bow. You will get no second chances. Never - NEVER - draw or fire an unloaded bow. Protect your bow from non-archers and novice shooters. |
Bow Press Note Due to the high deflection limb angles, this bow requires a specific type of bow press. This bow must be pressed in a finger-style press only. Never let anyone press this bow who doesn't absolutely know what they're doing. Return to HF for service if possible. |

ARROW CHOICE #1 6 Easton Bloodline Arrows The new Easton Bloodline is a bowhunter's dream arrow.

Bloodline shafts come factory crested/wrapped. |
ARROW CHOICE #2 6 Victory V-Force V3 Arrows MID-WEIGHT FOR BETTER PENETRATION!

A fantastic buy on a mid-grade hunting shaft. |

BROADHEAD CHOICE #2 3-PK Ramcat 100 Grain Want the dependability of a fixed-blade and the stable flight of a mechanical. Check out the new Ramcat. No pass through; no problem! The Ramcat features a gruesome six-edge design. The blades of the Ramcat are sharpened front and rear to create a backcut; the blades will roll forward and if the head does not pass through the animal; it will cut its way back out! Offset blade design. 100 grain heads with 1 3/8" cutting diameter. 3 blade. |

Cardboard boxes are fine for some things, but nothing protects a new compound bow like a case specifically built for that purpose. This bow package comes (standard) with your choice of a Camo Soft Case or a Black Soft Case w/Arrow Pocket. Both cases are padded and secure, with plenty of room for your extra gear and loose items. Lightweight soft cases easily fit behind truck seats, in closets, under beds, etc., and are the popular choice. |
BOW CASE UPGRADE OPTIONS: If you prefer, you may select an upgraded bow case at the point of purchase. We stock the Neet series BC-708 Select soft cases in three different color options. You can upgrade to this case for only $10 more. If you prefer a hard-shell bowcase, we will gladly send your bow package in one of our standard plastic hard-cases (model may vary) for only $20 more. If you do a lot of traveling and require a premium case, you may upgrade to the Plano 1144 Parallel-Limb Bow Case (a $90 case at most places) for only $50 more. Special bow case pricing is only available with the purchase of a new Ready-to-Hunt™ compound bow package. MORE DETAILS |
SETUP Every bow package is hand-assembled at our Pro-Shop by a qualified archery professional. No details are overlooked. The peep sight is served in place, the nock or loop set is installed, the draw length and weight is set to your specifications, all hardware is carefully installed and properly adjusted, and your arrows are custom built to suit your particular bow and settings. The string gets waxed, axles lubricated, and the bow is given a thorough inspection - top to bottom - for any flaws in manufacturing. If the bow and related gear aren't up to standards, they don't leave our shop! |
PAPER TESTING/TUNING We actually test-shoot each bow. Every bow is paper tested by our staff shooters, to ensure that your arrows will fly like a laser beam when launched from your new bow. Adjustments are made as necessary until each arrow tears a clean "bullet-hole", indicating perfectly level and straight arrow flight for the best possible accuracy. We resolve any and all fletching clearance problems and align each arrow nock for a clean zero-contact launch. Be advised that paper-tuning results are only repeatable if you shoot with proper form (no torquing, trigger-jerking, improper grip pressures, etc.). |
RANGE TESTING Each bow is tested at distance to ensure that arrows will group tightly. 3-Arrow groups are shot at 15, 25, & 35 yards and measured by our staff shooters. We use the 25/2 rule. If our staff shooters aren't grouping 3 arrows into a 2" circle at 25 yards with your new bowhunting package, then we retune until the 25/2 rule is met. While variances in individual shooting form makes exact pre-sighting impossible, we test shoot each bow and rough-set your top sight pin for a 20 yard shot. This gets your sight-pins in the "ball-park" so you won't have to start from scratch - possibly sending an arrow into an unforgiving neighbor's yard. |
GETTING STARTED When you receive your new bow system, you will just need to make fine adjustments to the top pin, then finish-up by setting the remaining pins for the distances you prefer. And if you're new to the sport, or not so handy with tools and gadgetry ... don't worry. You'll also receive a copy of our booklet Getting Started with Your Compound Bow which offers detailed instructions on the sighting-in procedure as well as helpful maintenance and safety tips. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS BOOKLET THOROUGHLY BEFORE YOU BEGIN SHOOTING. |
CHRONOGRAPH TESTING We chronograph each bow to ensure that the actual arrow velocity is within the expected range. You will receive a System Statistics report with your new Ready-to-Hunt™ Bow Package. This report will precisely detail the exact velocity of your arrows, grain weight and length of the arrows, recommended tip weights, the exact bow settings, and dozens of other specs related to your bow system. Keep this sheet for your reference. If you ever need additional arrows or want to make changes and adjustments on your bow, you'll have the original data for reference. |
PACKAGING AND SHIPPING Each fully assembled bowhunting package is delivered - packed tightly in the bow case of your choice. Loose parts, like the release and broadheads, are all safely tucked inside too. Once full, the bow case is boxed and sealed for safe transport. Your bow system is then shipped, via FedEx Ground, to your home or business. A tracking number will be provided to you, so you'll know when to expect delivery. All packages are fully insured and require a signature at the point of delivery. |
