Hunting Tip: Long Range Shooting
Gander Mountain is nice enough to provide us with periodic hunting and fishing tips. This week, Elite Pro Staff member Craig Boddington gives us a long range shooting tip:
Modern centerfire rifles have accuracy and range far beyond the capabilities of most hunters, and inexpensive laser rangefinders now eliminate that variable. The two remaining problems for shooting at longer ranges are wind and stability. You can’t do much about wind; if it’s windy and the distance is considerable you have a very risky shot that you should consider carefully-and probably pass. But you can do plenty about getting steady. Many hunters carry bipods and shooting sticks; others prefer to rest over a daypack. Whatever method you prefer, practice extensively on the range. Get away from the bench and learn how to get steady in field positions fast-and then you’ll have more time to evaluate the shot and make sure of your hold.

Martin's Mill Cager Committs To Texas Tech
Martin's Mill's All-State Center Jordan Barncastle gave a verbal committment to Texas Tech today, even though she hasn't played her junior year of basketball yet. In March, Barncastle scored 25 points to lead the Lady Mustangs to a 61-30 win over Slocum in the 1A Division One State Championship game. Barncastle earned tournament MVP. She was also named 1A Plyer of the Year. Her Dad, Martin's Mill head coach Doug Barncastle says there won't be any waffling on this committment, even though she has two years of high school basketball still to play. Texas Tech is where she has always dreamed of playing.
Hunting Tip: Blazing New Trails
Gander Mountain is nice enough to provide us with periodic hunting and fishing tips. This week, they offer a tip on how to create a new trail for deer.
When deer consistently move by your stand out of range, you can often divert the deer by placing some nearby deadfalls over the existing trail. Then create a new trail leading to your stand area, adding some deer scent with a drag. One of the keys is to wear rubber gloves and boots. You don’t want to leave your scent anywhere. Disturbing the terrain is actually quite natural, as storms come through, leaves fall, branches break and the overall forest changes daily.

ETBU Footballer Earns Weekly Honor
MARSHALL, Texas – Running back Brandon Sampson of East Texas Baptist University has been named the American Southwest Conference Offensive Player of the Week following the Tigers’ 41-24 win over McMurry Saturday.
Sampson (5-6, 185) tied a team record with three touchdowns and was the first Tiger to rush for 100 yards this season as ETBU (1-5, 1-3) snapped a five-game losing streak with its seventh consecutive win against McMurry (2-4, 1-3). The record performance came in just his second game at running back this season, as he was a starting cornerback the first three weeks of the year before making the switch due to injuries in the Tiger backfield.
Sampson, a native of Grambling, La., who attended high school at Westside High School in Houston, finished the day with 14 carries for 112 yards and three touchdowns. The three scores tied the team record of three rushing touchdowns set previously by Tauborick Thursby on Oct. 30, 2004, against Mary Hardin-Baylor and by Phil Van Cleave on Sept. 18, 2004, against Howard Payne.
It was the second straight game a player had either set or tied a team single-game record for touchdowns for the Tigers. In a 31-28 loss to Texas Lutheran on Sept. 30, Van Cleave set a team mark for passing touchdowns with four, and wide receiver Jason Gray tied a team record with three receiving touchdowns.
Two of Sampson’s touchdowns Saturday came in the fourth quarter and helped ETBU seal its first win since the regular season finale last year, which was also against McMurry.
Sampson and the Tigers face another huge test this week, as they travel to Abilene to face nationally-ranked Hardin-Simmons at 2 p.m. on Saturday. ETBU is 0-6 all-time against the Cowboys since joining the ASC in 2000.

Hunting Tip: The Buck Stops Here!
Gander Mountain periodically sends me hunting and fishing tips from their pro staff memebers. Here's a hunting tip from Pro Staff Manager Mike Kurre:
The best reason to build a mock scrape is to draw a buck into range and hold him there for the shot. Once you find a spot with a low hanging branch within range (archery or firearms), kick out the grass or weeds with your rubber boots in a 2 foot circle. Using rubber gloves, scar up the branch over your scrape and snap one tip so it points straight down, but don't break it off completely. This will create a "worked over" look. Then add a scrape dripper with estrus scent and you’ve created your own mock scrape.
