It is time to start planning fall activity for my 1 year old lawn I have a Tall Fescue lawn that was planted last September and I have been following the directions for care that my grass guy gave me and stuff I've learned here and other on line places and lawn has never looked better. I want to overseed this fall. I also want to fertilize I use Jonathan Green products this would be their Winter Survival (10-0-20). I plan on applying seed around the 1st week of September. Fertilize before or after seed? I was thinking fertilize last part of August, then over seed 2 weeks later. Would this be correct?

What are your calorie deficit goals for each day? 250-300, 500-700, 850-1,000? Some days you may spend more energy than others, but generally what do you shoot for?

On suggestions of some here, I installed the Macro Factor app and accurately entered all pertinent information. I'm 6'1, 240# 66 year old male. Moderately active. 3 mile walk 3x/week, cutting 1/2 acre lawn walk behind mower every 5 days, normal stuff around the house etc. Nothing high intensity. MF has set daily cal intake at 1767/day. My normal diet is mostly protein, fat with limited carbs. The app says this intake is the starting point at this time. Honestly, I havent been eating more than that any way but now I can enter and confirm calories before I consume them to stay on track. I don't have a lot of faith in this. I think I should limit calories to 1,200 max. We'll see.

Hello all. In the late 80's to the mid 90's some guys at work got me into trap shooting. I used a Remington 870 Trap model pump, later a BT-99, and I bought a Beretta 680 from a buddy who was selling his toys to buy his first house. I traded in the 870 when I bought the BT. I didn't shoot doubles so I only shot the 680 every now and again. Within 6 months I was shooting in an industrial league every Thursday under lights. So much fun. I registered and shot ATA registered 200 birds every Sunday as well. I reloaded my shot-shells, really got into the sport. Within a year and a half I became quite good. I was a sandbagging B class shooter and won more than a few club events. I competed all the way to the ATA state shoots. Twice I placed within the top ten in singles. I still have 3 100 straight patches from some events. That was then. After kids, my business taking off and growing, relocating to another part of the state, I got away from trap shooting. Sold/gave most of my equipment to my nephew. I haven't shot a round of trap in 33 years. Yesterday, I visited a very nice club for other business. I saw their beautiful trap, skeet, and 5 stand fields......and now I have the bug. As a bonus I'm retired and have time, but I do a lot of different things traveling with my wife being one of them. I have zero desire to compete again but I just want to shoot 2 or 3 rounds every other week or so. I'm not crazy about the new BT-99 and the older ones I've looked at on GunBroker and other sites look pretty beat up and they are asking almost as much as a new one. I'm thinking for my purposes, Turkey. As in CZ or Tristar single. Not expensive, decent features for the price point, etc. Taking my casualty in re-entering this sport into consideration, are these choices decent? I don't want to spend much more than 1500 or so on a trap gun for casual use.
