Healy Arms

There are so many good hikes in Maricopa County - and all over the state for that matter. This is a local favorite of mine:

Yeah but your wife carried it... lol - now that's funny There's always a comedian.

Pushed myself the last 4 days - checking the baseline. Not too bad. I've kept up with cardio for many months now. BUT... Instead of my regular cardio routine of hill hiking for miles and miles I tossed in a few dozen burpees and ground calisthenics - WELLLLLL crap - found the issue. Too dang fat. I was right 3 days ago. Need to cut some butter off. Always room to improve. Direction affirmed.

It's been a while since I've checked in. I've made many of my Monday workouts since my last post here. Yesterday was no exception. Solid mixed day of cardio and core. The morning was going well at the gym right until the juice crew showed up. There's 4 and it's over the top obvious. Lots of yelling and dropping things quickly ensued. Injected "nutrition" makes a man a moron it seems. (no way brah - it's all natural - lol) Oh well... Ignore

I'm taking Amanda's advice and using the MyFitnessPal app this year. I recall she used it quite successfully. Now that I've used it for 2 days it's easy to see how easy it is over consume without really knowing how many calories you've added throughout the day. It makes you very aware of drive-by snacking when you have to stop and log the snack. In 2017 I will NOT order by number at Mexican food restaurants. Strictly by the item. Combos are way way way too many calories. It's easy to have a whole day's energy allotment on one plate. I've conquered workout regularity - time to whip the scale.

Yes. I've been riding the craft beer wave with a few friends. Love the style creativity in the various brands. But 2017 will be a ZERO tap takeover year (sorry Flanny's). Tons of calories - zero or worse nutritional benefit. I'm staying home.

Good Morning CW Members, For those of you who, like me, did NOT get a tag for this holiday weekend, we're looking forward to seeing you for a weekend of Gun & Ammo savings (prepare for the day you DO get a tag). Please see these specials on our local mailer and as always we will be posting some Coues Whitetail ONLY specials (you have to ask about them when you come in) that will give members extra savings all weekend long. Stay tuned for those. By the way - THANK YOU for making this a great hunting season for us. From Flatline Maps to deer & elk rifles, scopes, ammo, slings, bags and more, CW members and their friends kept us very busy. We appreciate this hunting community. ​STORE HOURS: Friday 8am to 6pm / Saturday and Sunday 10am to 5pm

If you are looking for Springhfield's new SAINT AR15 rifle: We just received a paltry TWO more rifles and they are ready to go to the sales floor. These rifles are priced at $849.99 and won't last long. The last two were gone in about 2 hours. Yes - we can sell you gun over the phone and you can come in to do paperwork later - 480-621-5555

The last one went quickly, so here's another CW special for you: Details: A very lightly used Winchester semiautomatic 12ga Model 140, 28 inch barrel w/ screw in WinChoke modified tube, blued metal finish, satin finished wood stocks. This shotgun is in excellent condition for it's age - lightly used and never abused. The internal parts show very light use. If you've been thinking about a semi-auto bird gun this is a very price-friendly way to get into a brand name gun. CW SPECIAL PRICE: Mention you saw this on Coues Whitetail and take another $20 bucks off. Yep - a Winchester 12ga semi-auto for $159 bucks. Directions to store shown below. Questions? Please call us at 480-621-5555

LOL - The guys who could afford those guns in the 80's (at that time I was a broke high school kid with a hand-me-down 870 pump - that I still have) have reached an age where they're selling them back because they don't use them any longer. Nice old guns with that hot 80's styling. Parachute pants - Aqua Net - Loverboy's "Get Lucky" album and, yes, Winchester 140's And Gemco! My cousin lived behind the Gemco at Baseline & McClintock - we used to shop there and Smitty's all the time. We'd buy stink bait at Gemco or Smitty's and ride our bikes to Kiwanis Park to go fishing. Now the kids chase Pokeman characters on their phones. I'd take fishing over that any day.

SOLD Y'all set a record on that one.

SOLD We will post another deal soon - standby for further...

Just in time for deer & elk season - another solid used gun with many years of good hunting left in it. Details: Ruger MARK II chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum, walnut stock and blued 24" barrel, topped with a Nikon ProStaff 3-9x50mm scope & Butler Creek scope caps. It also has a neoprene shell holder on the butt stock that's in good condition. The gun is in great shape overall with a few dings and scratches you would expect from field use - used but not abused. CW Special Deal: We have this rifle/scope package priced at $399.99 in store - mention you saw it on Coues Whitetail and take another $25 bucks off. That's correct - a Ruger M77 and Nikon Scope for $375 bucks. Swing in and take a look. Not the rifle you're looking for? We have more. Questions? Call us at 480-621-5555

When you're done at the Labor Day mattress sales come look at guns: Regular Hours: 10am to 6pm (that's always better than buying a new mattress anyway)

Regular Hours Today: 10am to 6pm

LOL As long as there are humans on the planet - there will always be stupid ones that do really stupid things. The last time I went out by Roosevelt Lake to shoot I brought back a shot up washer & dryer, a sweet vintage 1990 computer monitor full of shotgun holes, a TV in similar condition and a burned sofa - no kidding, they lit the thing on fire. Because... Shooting a sofa with Tula steel case 223 = good time. Shooting a flaming sofa with Tula steel case 223 = over the top man. Unicorns and rainbows! The lousy moron(s) was/were kind enough to leave 100 once fired 7mm mag cases as payment for my efforts to clean up their yard sale. That's a win.

Browning A5's in 16ga are desirable guns (I own a Belgian Sweet 16) HOWEVER they don't command the $$ one might expect. Be careful and diligent in researching the value of the gun you're thinking of buying. I had a gentleman in here just 2 hours ago with an A5 Magnum 12ga that he thought was worth 800 to 1000 bucks. Truth = 400 to 500 bucks at auction depending on condition. The Blue Book of Gun Values in some cases with A5's can set you up with a number that's just not realistic for the market of willing buyers and what they'll spend. This happens with A5's all the time. To really know the market on any gun, I spend a lot of time on GunBroker in the advanced search area looking at closed auctions so I can see that people actually are willing to pay for an item. It also gives me a good idea of what items close with no bids because the asking price is simply too high to even get a single bid. There are a lot of sub models in the A5 group and looking up the serial number can be tricky. Good luck sir.

SOLD

Fun Semi-Auto Gun - Great Price We got this older (approximate date of MFG is 1978) Remington 742 Woodsmaster in from an estate recently and it is used, but nice condition. The person who brought it in said that it was the prior owner's deer rifle but it really spent the last 20 years under the bed in a case. And that certainly seems to be true - it's in nice condition for it's age. We cleaned/oiled the rifle and took it to the range - it functions perfectly with 150 and 180 grain ammo - no issues with auto loading function or accuracy. It is ready to hunt. Details: It's a SEMI AUTO 30-06 Springfield with a detachable magazine, the scope is a WEAVER Marksman 4-power with a duplex cross hair. The scope is the same vintage as the rifle and was likely purchased at or around the same time. The elevated look-under scope mounts are also from the same period of time. It's rare that we see these rifles with all of the period-right equipment on them - this one is an exception. We have the rifle & scope combo priced at $359.00 - Mention you saw this on Coues Whitetail and we'll take another $30 bucks off.

We received a call about the optic (type, reticle, etc) Here is a link to it - http://www.nikonsportoptics.com/en/nikon-products/riflescopes/monarch-3-4-16x42-side-focus-bdc.html

This Remington rifle & Nikon scope combo was sold originally in our Mesa location and has returned to us as a trade-in in NEW condition - the guy never got a chance to use it. However - we cannot sell the gun as new and must reduce the price and advertise it as a pre-owned gun. The $799 price tag we have on the gun is BELOW WHOLESALE on the gun, the scope and the mounts. SPECIAL - Mention you saw this on COUES WHITETAIL and take another $35.00 off this package deal. Here's the details on the gun: Remington Model 700 SPS, 30-06 Springfield w/ adjustable trigger, Nikon Monarch 3 Scope 4-16 X 42, Burris 6-hole Rings & 2-piece Bases, Quake CLAW rifle sling and a basic black zippered nylon bag. Original Remington manual for the rifle and Nikon manual for the scope come with it. Add a box of ammo and you're ready for the range! Questions? Please call us at 480-621-5555 Directions to the Tempe store are listed below.
