The Great American Outdoor Show has announced "Bounce Back Sunday," a special promotion allowing all outdoor enthusiasts attending the world's largest consumer sports and outdoor show the opportunity to be readmitted for free on Feb. 12, the show's final day. To qualify attendees must have purchased a show ticket on any previous day and bring that ticket back on Feb. 12.

Featuring nearly 1,100 exhibits, over 200 outdoor seminars and demonstrations, daily celebrity appearances, and more than a dozen special events and contests. Filling the 650,000 square foot PA Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the Great American Outdoor Show is a nine-day celebration of the outdoor traditions treasured by millions of Americans. But it can be difficult to see everything the show has to offer in a single day.

Bounce Back Sunday is your last chance to experience the Great American Outdoor Show until next winter. Take advantage of Bounce Back Sunday on Feb. 12 by presenting a Great American Outdoor Show ticket stub from one of the previous eight days and you will be readmitted for free—simple as that.

Behind the Bullet: The .308 Norma Magnum

Norma’s ballistician Nils Kvale saw the wisdom of having the velocity and horsepower of the .300 H&H Magnum, but in a shorter, more affordable receiver, and used the H&H case to develop his .358 Norma Magnum in 1959 as well as the .308 Norma Magnum one year later. The .308 Norma Magnum closely resembles the wildcat .30-338 cartridge, though the shoulder of the former is located a bit more toward the base than that of the .308 Norma Magnum. Intrigued?
