A proud moment in the Jeremy Smith household!
Attached is a picture of my son Caleb’s first buck. He’s 10 years old and shot the 6 point at about 3pm on the first day with a T/C Contender in 22 hornet. It’s a toss-up who was more excited, he or I. The shot placement was great. and the deer ran less than 30 yards before piling up.
On a side note, I’ve also attached a picture of my daughter Audrey shooting the S&W .22 pistol she won through the Anderson Creek gun raffle last spring. You won’t want to mess with her!

Just a man and his new muzzle loader
My wife and kids got me everything to go in-line muzzle loader hunting for my birthday, I have been talking about getting one for some time now. I went up to the club and tried 2 different bullets and had the rifle sighted in for 100 yards and was ready for the first day of the season. What I wasn't ready for, was the "first day of muzzle loader season"!
We woke up, at camp on Saturday morning to find there were hurricane force winds and almost enough rain to float and ark, yet we still went out. We saw several deer during the day. Unfortunately they were either a half-mile away or traveling at mach 1 as they went by us. You would think that after having to go back to camp and dry off three times during the day, we would have enough sense to stay in. We didn't.
I got back in my stand at 5 o'clock and settled in for the rest of the day. At 5:15 I saw a doe at 125 yards, standing broadside. I put the crosshairs on the deer and pulled the trigger, my rifle went "pffft". I fumbled around and got another primer in, the deer was still standing broadside, and I pulled the trigger again. This time it went "pffft - wosh - bloop", and I watched the bullet fall out of the end of the barrel. The deer was still broadside.
I took out the breech plug and looked down the barrel to make sure there was nothing in it. What I saw was the deer standing broadside. Now I am in full panic mode! I reloaded the gun, put in a primer, put the cross hairs on a still-standing broadside deer and pulled the trigger. The rifle worked flawlessly, and after the smoke cleared I got to see the tail of the deer waving goodbye as it ran into the woods.
You would think I should have been able to stay calm after all that happened, I wasn 't! My son explained to me, as he was laughing, that black powder does not like wet weather. I know this now. But I reminded myself that, "A bad day of huntin' is still better than a good day of workin'!"
Good luck to all you hunters.

Important reminder regarding 400-yard range
Members and guest at not to put targets, of any type, behind, against, in front of, under or above the 400 yard target frames.
Someone in the last week put clay birds behind the frames and there now are several new bullet holes in the cross beams.
These frames, and the area around them, are for the matches only! There is plenty of space at the practice side to shoot.

Someone in the last week put clay birds behind the frames and there now are several new bullet holes in the cross beams.

Sunday hunting assigned a bill number in Pennsylvania
Sunday hunting legislation has been assigned a bill number in Pennsylvania. House Bill 1760 is sponsored by state Representative John Evans (R-5).
The prohibition on Sunday hunting is an old blue law left on the books in just a handful of states. Hunters pump millions of dollars into habitat restoration and conservation and they are primarily responsible for healthy ecosystems throughout Pennsylvania.
Many hunters cannot introduce their children or friends to hunting because Saturday is their only opportunity, and they are competing with the numerous organized sports and other activities. The addition of an extra day in the field increases a person’s available time to enjoy our hunting heritage. This will invigorate essential hunter recruitment and retention efforts. Sunday hunting will also bring a much-needed economic boost to rural areas.

Fishing's great at the club pond
I took some of my family up to the club recently to fish and have a picnic. Fishing in our pond is great! The first picture is my grandson, Benjamin, with my daughter Melissa, catching his first fish. Ben was so excited that he caught it all by himself, he was shaking.
I do suggest you take medium tackle when you go to fish there, as you can see by the second picture we have some very good sized large mouth bass in the pond. I hooked a bigger one earlier and the fish broke my lighter set up. All the fishing was done off the boat dock, I'm sure there are bigger fish around the pond.

Gov. Corbett sings Castle Doctrine bill into law
Gov. Tom Corbett has signed Pennsylvania Castle Doctrine legislation into law. This common-sense measure permits law-abiding citizens to use force, including deadly force, against an attacker in their home and any place where they have a legal right to be. It also protects individuals from civil lawsuits by an attacker or attacker’s family when force is used.
Gov. Corbett and Pennsylvania lawmakers know that law-abiding citizens must have the right to protect themselves when criminals attack without fear of being second-guessed by an overzealous prosecutor,” said Chris W. Cox, executive director, National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action. “Crime victims don’t have the luxury of time when confronted by a criminal and must be able to count on the law being on their side. This new law accomplishes that by removing any mandate of forcible retreat.”

Wisconsin passes right-to-carry legislation
Both chambers of the Wisconsin state legislature have voted to approve one of the nation's strongest Right-to-Carry bills, by solid bipartisan margins.
Senate Bill 93, which was strongly backed by NRA, now goes to Governor Scott Walker (R) for his expected signature. When signed, it will leave Illinois as the only state that provides no way for citizens to carry concealed firearms for self-protection outside their homes or places of business.

Castle Doctrine Bill Passes Pennsylvania Senate
House Bill 40, the NRA-backed Castle doctrine legislation, passed in the state Senate on Monday, June 20, by a 45 to 5 vote. This bill will now go to Governor Tom Corbett for his consideration.
Introduced by state Representative Scott Perry (R-92), HB 40 would permit law-abiding citizens to use force, including deadly force, against an attacker in their home and any place outside of their home where they have a legal right to be. If enacted into law, it would also protect individuals from civil lawsuits by the attacker or the attacker's family when force is used.
The companion bill to HB 40, Senate Bill 273, was sponsored by Richard Alloway, II (R-33). Please thank both Representative Perry and Senator Alloway for sponsoring this important self-defense legislation. Contact information is listed below.
Also, please contact Governor Corbett and urge him to sign into law HB 40. He can be contacted by clicking here to send an e-mail message.

Tom Hamilton, Scot Wink, Joel Harris win 400-yard bullseye matches
We had almost perfect conditions Sunday, June 19, at our 400-yard bullseye matches. There was a light breeze, with little humidity and moderate temperatures. Twenty-eight targets were shot.
.223 Class:
1. Tom Hamilton from Curwensville
2. Tom Hamilton
3. Linda Soliday from DuBois
.30 Calibre Class:
1, 2, & 3. Scot Wink from Curwensville
Unlimited Class:
1. Joel Harris from Reynoldsvile
2. Mike Soliday from DuBois
3. Rick Stanko from Sheffield
Match note:
Joel Harris, the unlimited class winner, was packing up after warm-ups because he could not get sighted in at 400 yards. Walt Kuzemchock suggested that we take him to the 100-yard range and see what was going on. After several shots, and several clicks, he took the center out of the target. Joel went back the match and beat his friend, Mike Soliday. Maybe Mike should have told him to go, "Just one more click".
