I’ve been kind of busy lately, you guys may have noticed. I hope you all plan to buy copies of the Western Shooting Journal to make it worthwhile. It’s been difficult for me to balance my new schedule around all the things I want to do, and as always there are a lot of things I...

People are starting to talk about pink guns again and while I’ve written on this before I’d like to combine a few ideas I’ve been preaching and let you all know what exactly I think of girls and guns and marketing and, well, as I said before “What Women Want”. I know I’ve talked about...

The other day Caleb posted a video of some chick beating the crap out of a punching bag with a handgun (the video has since been removed after getting pilloried in every corner of the internet – Editor).

I started speaking to Lansky Knife Sharpeners at SHOT Show and have since come relatively familiar with their line. While their deluxe and gourmet sharpening kits are obviously the way to go for home use there are a couple items they have that I have not only found range ready but have found mountain...

On Saturday I had the privilidge to shoot with 30calgal Anette Wachter who I will be attending Boomershoot with later this week. We were (by that I mean she was) sighting in the new Leupold scope she received for her Winchester Model 70.  One of the primary topics of conversation for the day was...

Tam’s talking about violent video games and I felt the need to chime in.
