Trophy Hunting Beneficial for Conservation DSC NEWSLETTER VOLUME 29,Camp ISSUE 4 TalkMAY 2016 DSC applauds the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) on a recent report that educates European decision makers and the public on the benefits of trophy hunting. An IUCN briefing published last month discusses in great detail how legal, well-regulated trophy hunting can and does generate incentives and revenue that directly benefit wildlife and wild habitats. Hunting provides the money needed by government, private and community landowners in order to maintain and restore wildlife as a land use and to carry out conservation actions, including vital anti-poaching interventions. The report states that, recently, a few cases of poorly regulated and poorly conducted hunts have brought about increased concern for trophy hunting. Confusion and misinformation has led to knee-jerk reactions and, in some cases, blanket bans on hunting and transportation of hunting trophies. “Blanket bans or restrictions affect both good and bad hunting practices…. They are a blunt instrument that risks undermining important benefits for both conservation and local livelihoods.” IN THIS ISSUE Several members of the European Parliament have President’s Letter ................3 IUCN: Trophy called for a ban on imports of trophies.

Blaser also constructed a new scope mount, the Saddle mount, in which the mount is held by two specially formed holes in the receiver. By changing magazine, barrel and bolt head, a multitude of calibers can be used in the same R93 chassis. After a shooting accident near Koblenz in 1994, the R93 was criticised not to withstand high pressures and the bolt to unlock with excessive pressure.[1] An investigation by the DEVA concluded that the handloaded ammunition used, however, greatly exceeded the maximum legal gas pressure.[citation needed] The R93 was upgraded to the Blaser R8 with a detachable box magazine / trigger combination.

Material / Tools • Bedding material + blend in material • Parting agent + paintbrush • Putty (for example Plasticine), gun grease • Medical gloves, tissues, Q-Tips etc. • Bench vice and availability of standard gunsmith tools preconditioned! • ALWAYS CHECK ON THE ACCIDENT PREVENTION REGULATIONS OF ALL CHEMICALS AND TOOLS IN USE FOR THE GLASS BEDDING! Assembly of parts: • Before preparing the metal parts and wooden parts please first of all mount the GRS Riflestock to the rifle for once. • You will then find out soon, if there will be tension when mounting the rifle using the recommended torque and whether the barrel is in correct position.

  • A List of Ballistics and Weapons for Savage Worlds by Erron “Bo” Whitten © 2003 [email protected]
    A list of Ballistics and Weapons for Savage Worlds By Erron “Bo” Whitten © 2003 [email protected] Introduction The following data is compiled from a ballistics formula used by various organizations to determine data for a “rounds comparison.” I am using the data and the statistics from Savage Worlds to create this Ballistics List. It is as accurate as possible. To use it simply find data about the weapon in question and compare it to this information. The ballistics are for most rounds on the market. Type is the type of round in question. RF = Rimfire; CFP = Center Fire Pistol; CFR = Center Fire Rifle; CFAC = Center Fire Auto Cannon (I only included the 20mm American round); CFRP = Center Fire Rifle in a Pistol; CFPR = Center Fire Pistol in a Rifle; SG = Shot Gun; BP = Black Powder; BPSG = Black Powder Shot Gun. A rifle round used in a pistol reduces its damage due to lack of a barrel of sufficient length to allow the full expansion of the gases produced by the powder charge. A pistol round in a rifle has an increase of damage due to the increase of gas pressures due to the increase of chamber area in a lengthened barrel.

  • Assault Weapons Ban of 2013
    ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN OF 2013 U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein A bill to ensure proper regulation of military-style 331 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition http://feinstein.senate.gov feeding devices. 2/13 20152370 Confronting Assault Weapons in Society More than eight years have passed since the federal Assault Weapons Ban on military-style firearms expired in 2004. Since then, more than 350 people have been killed and more than 450 injured by these weapons. Towns like Newtown, Aurora and Tucson are now known for the mass shootings that shocked the nation. Mass murders in these towns and others across America demonstrate all too clearly the need to regulate deadly assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. On January 24, 2013, we gathered to introduce a new Assault Weapons Ban of 2013. This legisla- tion, stronger than the 1994 bill, has two primary goals: • First, halt the sale, manufacture, transfer and importation of 157 of the most commonly-owned military-style assault weapons and ban an additional group of assault weapons that are particularly lethal because they can accept a detachable ammunition magazine and have one or more military characteristics. • Second, ban large-capacity magazines and other ammunition feeding devices that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. These devices allow shooters to fire numerous rounds in rapid succession without having to reload. We firmly believe that weapons designed for war have no place on the streets of a civilized soci- ety. We must enforce existing law and enact commonsense measures to stop the proliferation of military-style assault weapons while protecting the rights of law-abiding citizens who use guns for hunting, household defense or legitimate recreational purposes.
