The peaceful transition of power is one of the cherished hallmarks of this great country. But there are those walking among us who don’t believe in such a freedom and resort to third-world tactics. Anarchists and other thugs are planning massive violen…

Much of my outdoor range time is spent shooting alone. That’s not the case for the indoor range, where it’s generally busy and I often find myself distracted by the antics of other shooters. However, I got to spend most of my 30 minutes at the indoor r…

That can only mean one thing….It’s the weekend!

It’s not been from lack trying, but I just haven’t been able to get to a range in over two weeks. Inclement weather last weekend caused the cancellation of a match I had planned to attend. Hoping for a quick escape from the office, I’ve been blocking out an occasional lunch break on my calendar, in theory to avoid anyone scheduling something for me.

Global warming was in full effect for a couple days this week, so it was unfortunate there was no time for a visit to the outdoor range. I did manage to get out for a quick “lunch break” this week and hit the local indoor range.

I shot for about 30 minutes, putting 150 rounds down range.

Received from a friend…You may have heard on the news about a Southern California man who was put under 72-hour psychiatric observation when it was found he owned 100 guns and allegedly had 100,000 rounds of ammunition stored in his home. By Southern…

I’ve been writing for some time on my struggles with aging eyes and their effect on my shooting. I’m a bit out of the norm in that my distance vision began its degeneration well before my close up focus was affected. To this day, I need glasses to see …

I’m sitting here drinking my second cup of coffee on the last day of vacation and listening to the rain falling outside. I feel the start of a cold coming on, but at least it didn’t start during the week off. I take a “staycation” this time each year. …
