Bouncing back

The Pack need to bounce back. Fortunately for the Green Bay Packers, the Chicago Bears are next on the docket.

The Packers performed miserably in their season-opening 23-7 loss at the Minnesota Vikings. Offensively, the makeshift line struggled, receivers weren’t open and coach Matt LaFleur inexplicably forgot about his running backs. Defensively, a veteran group in the secondary was its own worst enemy against premier receiver Justin Jefferson.

Fitting young hunters to a bow, crossbow and rifle

Not so many years ago, there was a hunting tradition to hand down Dad’s or Granddad’s rifle to the son or daughter joining the hunt. These full-size rifles, often lever-actions (which carry their own set of safety issues), would be an ill fit for a small body with shorter arms.
