Beating the Reaper!, Vol. 1: Trauma Medicine for the CCW Operator is directed toward the “Average Joe” who may have never taken a first-aid class, and certainly doesn’t consider himself to be a medically trained special operator. Instead, he is someone who realizes that, just as with his shooting skills, he needs to have skill to help save someone’s life, perhaps his own, in the aftermath of shooting or other traumatic event. He’s the “CCW Operator” who doesn’t have a team medic nearby. He must show the same self-reliance that got him through the initial incident.

If card shooters, sporting-clays shooters, skeep and trap shooters, hunters and shotgun owners in general all agree on the benefits of the screw-in choke, and millions of guns have been made with fixed chokes, how big do you suppose the need for screw-in choke installation is? It is enormous! You should learn to install screw-in chokes.

Vegas 'Elk Camp' to Support Nevada Conservation

(GunReports.com) -- Elk Camp, a hunting and conservation rally designed to support conservation in Nevada, is coming to Las Vegas. Sponsored by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF) and International Sportsmen's Expositions, the event is scheduled for Feb. 2-4, 2012, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Attractions will include the 2012 RMEF/Leupold World Elk Calling Championships, plus 385 exhibiting companies in an expo hall filled with outfitted hunting and fishing opportunities, art, gear, firearms and everything outdoors. Hourly seminars will cover hunting strategies, destinations, gear, survival and fishing. Cabela's will sponsor game-calling clinics.

Elk Camp helps raise awareness and funding for conservation. In 2011, RMEF passed the 6 million acre-mark in habitat conserved or enhanced for elk and other wildlife nationwide.

In Nevada alone, RMEF has completed 190 conservation projects affecting 275,870 acres. Examples include habitat stewardship projects such as prescribe burning, forest thinning and management, weed control, water improvements and many other projects, mostly on public lands. Also included are RMEF land acquisitions transferred to state or federal management agencies to secure habitat and public access in perpetuity.

It's a conservation effort in Nevada now valued at more than $15.1 million.

"Thanks to our volunteers in Nevada--most of whom are avid hunters--RMEF and its partners have protected or enhanced wildlife habitat across an area of Nevada that's larger than Las Vegas, Henderson, Reno and Sparks combined," said David Allen, RMEF president and CEO. "But there's a ton of work left to do, and Elk Camp will help us generate the enthusiasm and resources needed to get it done."

Public admission to the Elk Camp expo is $12 per person daily, free for youth 15 and under, and free for active military with military ID.
