10 Minute Deer Skinner
$22.95How many times have you said, “Now that the animal is down, The fun stops and the work starts.”
Not so with this handy tool.
• Absolutely the fastest and easiest way to skin a deer • Keeps meat clean from hair and other contaminants • Professional method of skinning, minimal cutting and reduces nicks in hide • Uses the power of your vehicle to quickly and efficiently remove deer skin The 10 Minute Deer Skinner is the most time efficient method that we’ve found (using the least amount of physical effort) to take a deer from the buck pole to the deep freeze. Simply field dress your deer and placed on a clean sheet of plastic before the 10 Minute Deer Skinner is utilized.
STEP 1: Extend the skin cut on the deer from the field dressed cut to the base of head. (Two to four inches from the head.) From the end of this cut, make a complete circle around the neck, connecting with the original cut. Important: Cut skin only, not the meat.
STEP 2: Attach loop of plain cable to an immovable object (tree, stump, ball hitch of parked vehicle, etc.). Slip the loop on the other end of plain cable around the deer head, behind the ears, and hand tighten. From cut on back of neck, pull hide back toward the tail six (6) to ten (10) inches.
STEP 3: Cut skin on each front leg from knee joint to brisket cut. Make a cut circling the knee joint. Note: DO NOT PULL SKIN. Again, cut skin only, not meat. Brush hair off drop cloth, and clean area around the deer, so the skinned carcass will drop on a clean surface.
STEP 4: This step will utilize the two stage ball and skinner plate for hide removal. Take the long cable that contains the skinner plate and two stage ball and place the skinner plate (flat surface down) on the raw side of the hide. Push the small end of the two stage ball from the hair side of the hide, through the hole in the skinner plate. Hand tighten cable around the narrow section of the two stage ball by pulling only on the coated end of the cable.
STEP 5: Advance vehicle (slowly) to remove slack. Hunter should stand to the side of deer for safety reasons and to signal the driver. Vehicle should be advanced (see Figure 4) until skin is removed to the hind leg joints. Cut skin around each back leg between knee and ankle joint. Resume truck advancement (if necessary) until skin is completely removed. Your deer should be completely skinned and dropped back on a clean, plastic surface.
Note: If the animal has been down for an extended period of time, the front legs of the deer may need to be moved toward rear to permit clean skin removal around the legs. Also, if the hide is to be kept, skin tail by hand (as shown in video). Finally, if the hide is to be tanned, split each back leg open from hind quarter to end of leg.
Kit includes: Both Cables with the skinner system fully assembled and ready to use. Written instructions, a DVD with an instructional video on how to use the 10 Minute Deer Skinner and a pouch the carry it all in. Make Skinning Fun!

Reloading From A to Z, DVD (AGI Reloading/Gunsmithing Instruction)
$199.95Reloading from A-Z is a course with nearly 8 hours of information in video format you can watch as often as you like to brush up or pick up a new skill.
The Liberals at YouTube don’t want you to see this.
Learn how-to make hand loaded ammunition tailored specifically for YOUR needs. This course is far more in depth than any other reloading course on the market. Renowned cartridge designer, gunsmith, and AGI instructor Fred Zeglin begins this course by addressing reloading from its most basic fundamentals. This allows the new reloader to begin the process almost immediately with confidence and safety. He goes further and introduces you to tools that increase the speed and quality of the reloading process.
Popular tools offered by numerous manufacturers of reloading gear are demonstrated and explained. He also covers casting bullet techniques and advanced precision reloading for long range shooting.
Most people learn reloading strictly from a mechanical ‘monkey see, monkey do’ view point. In other words, nobody ever completely explains to them WHY operations are performed a certain way or WHAT value they have. In this course Fred shows you, from a gunsmiths perspective, what is happening to the brass when fired and when it goes through the reloading process. This information will make you a well informed reloader and if you’re a gunsmith, will help aid in diagnosing problems with your clients’ reloads and guns.
Accuracy is always the name of the game for any shooter. Fred talks about what makes a safe, accurate reload and shares simple tricks that will save you hours of trial and error at the reloading bench and range. Obviously, this translates into saving money on components as well.
Our Special price here is for the course without the Certification from AGI. If you prefer to acquire the Certification we can arrange that or you can buy direct from AGI.
We are often asked, “Why So Much?” Well its nearly 8 hours of intensive instruction, in a friendly conversational style that makes it all easy to understand.
As a bonus Darrel Holland’s “Advanced Reloading Techniques” is included in the package.

$75.00Seems like a lot of money… Why should I do this?

So this plan clearly benefits repeat customers the most. Rental Protection Plan is optional, if not purchased all standard rental terms apply to every order.
If customer participates in the Rental Protection Plan, Lessee/Customer will be charged a Rental Protection Plan fee.

Under the standard rental agreement the lessee is responsible for the rental fees and up to the full amount of the deposit value for any lost or damaged tool(s).

- All small parts, such as c-clips, screws and bushings are covered for damage or loss.
- Lessee shall not be responsible for ongoing rental expenses for the lost or damaged item(s)/tool(s) while they are out of service.

Is one of AGI’s courses, taught by custom gunsmith Fred Zeglin, renowned cartridge designer and builder of the well-known Hawk series of cartridges, will get the viewer on the road to a thorough understanding of Wildcats and Wildcatting. Great material for any gunsmith or do-it yourself-er who want to make the tools themselves.
One doesn’t need to be a master machinist or tool and die maker to be able to turn out the blank resizing / forming / chamber reamers on the lathe; a tool post grinder is not needed. A bench grinder with a good fine grinding wheel and some practice will, with Zeglin’s expert and easy to follow guidance, will enable the viewer to turn out reamers that will equal anything one can buy! Talk about self reliance.

Wildcat Cartridges, Reloader’s Handbook of Wildcat Cartridge Design
$39.95In 2005 the hard bound first edition of this handbook hit the market. Since that time it has become a collectable book. This reprint is a faithful reprint of the first edition, now in paperback form.
Fred Zeglin was a gunsmith and custom rifle builder long before he turned to writing. The origin of this book was formed in Fred teaching gunsmiths how to make reamer and reloading dies, as well as how the design and develop a successful wildcat cartridge with tried and true, safe methods.
The last Gunsmith to tackle this subject was P.O. Ackley in the early 1960’s. Fred took inspiration from Ackley’s writings to create a valuable snapshot of the wildcat community since Ackley left the range.
During Zeglin’s years in the gun business he has developed a large number of wildcats, both for his own use and for clients. He made chamber reamers and reloading dies for his customers projects, partly to save time & money, but mostly to deliver product for his clients that they really could not acquire anywhere else.
This manual contains ideas and methods that you will find in no other source. If you are a reloader, wildcatter or gunbug of any sort; you will enjoy and value the history and how-to information found in this book!
