There is a mind-boggling array of products to see at SHOT Show. There are literally MILES of aisles to walk, and thousands of vendors. Obviously, it is a challenge even to walk all the aisles, so, like I did at Range Day, I’ll try to […]
I woke up with “raccoon eyes” this morning. Which means I apparently didn’t get all my make-up off last night. I don’t wear make-up often, but when I do it means either I was singing in a quartet function, or I was at a dress-up […]
As I mentioned, there was too much for just one post about SHOT Show Industry Day at the Range, so here is your second installment. I believe I closed the last post with the hysterical “Pre-Seasoned DuckShot”, yes? Well not six feet from the DuckShot, […]

I’m sitting here on Christmas Eve, slurping homemade Turkey/Wild Rice soup that I made from frozen Thanksgiving leftovers. It gave me a sudden flashback to the Grouse/Rice soup that my mother always made for the family’s New Year’s Eve open house. I wasn’t planning on […]
I’m taking a cue from the NSSF’s Project ChildSafe this Christmas to remind all of us to secure our firearms – especially if you are going to be having holiday guests. http://www.projectchildsafe.org/ It’s that time of year again. The time when you have housefuls of people, […]
