by: David Krassler

Last issue we discussed the one-man drill training technique employed in teaching a spaniel to develop a proper hunting pattern. This month we will cover the “three man drill”.

Acoustic Trauma - How to Avoid It
by: Bill Hanus

Hearing damage is gradual, subtle, CUMULATIVE and PERMANENT. Normal conversation is in the 60-65dB level. The threshold of pain is about 140 dB. A 12 or 20 gauge shotgun blast from 28" barrels is about 152 dB, with shorter or ported barrels even higher. And as the audiologist I spoke to phrased it, we hunters are "moving up on the short list for the `Invisible Badge of Hearing Loss.’" (Read...)

Taking Political Aim
by: R. Michael DiLullo

There is a political conspiracy underway in this country to eliminate your Second Amendment rights and to abolish all hunting! Members of this conspiracy are well organized; having ties to a network of many unlikely political associations. The regular cast of characters, groups like the Brady Institute, Americans for Gun Safety , and others are now aligned and are receiving money, training and political strength from extreme environmental and animal rights groups such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)...(Read...)

Canine Pregnancy - What to Expect!
by: Geoffrey A. English

The gestation period for dogs is typically between 58 to 68 days from the day of ovulation, with most pregnant bitches giving birth on or around the 63rd day. Many breeders use the day of the first witnessed “knot” to determine when they can expect puppies. This is typically a good “rule of thumb”, however, a bitch may not ovulate on the first day she stands for a male, causing the puppies to arrive later than the date calculated.(Read...)

Little Things Mean A Lot
by: Martin Coffman DVM

Modern bird dog trainers are up to date. They are well-read, knowledgeable professionals who keep up with the latest training techniques, veterinary care, breeding, and kennel management. But, there is no area that perks their interest like nutrition. Everyone is looking for that special diet or feeding method that will give their dog a special edge that will allow it to finish the trial with it’s head up and hunting all the way. If we continue to feed our field trial dogs the same way we did twenty years ago, we are destined to compete without the benefits of new nutritional research. When competitors use these dietary improvements, they have the advantage in field trials.(Read...)

Pro-Ears Dimension Series Sporting Clays (DSC)
In the past, I have always used a pair of disposable sponge plugs or ear inserts to protect my hearing when shooting. While these are probably the most common and inexpensive hearing protection on the market today, they seem to always be missing from my shooting bag or covered in pocket lint when I need them. As I became a more active shooter, I realized it was time to take hearing protection to the next level. My search eventually moved me from the traditional sponge earplugs toward electronic hearing protection (that allows me to hear normal and low volume noises, such as conversation while protecting my ears from loud harmful sounds) -- enter the Pro Ears Dimension Series Sporting Clays (DSC).
