Parts is Parts
One thing I was NOT prepared for when I took up shooting 5 years ago, is the amount of “stuff” I was going to accumulate. All I started with was a pistol – just a smallish pistol. And the first box of ammo – “50 […]

Lady 3-Gun Slot
I’ve got my slot for Lady 3-Gun!! I’m #28 -I’m so excited! Even more exciting actually, is that the event is well on the way to selling out. Registration has been open for about 72 hours as of this writing, and I see name #193 […]
The Camo Police
If you’ve been reading this blog recently, you are acutely aware that I’ve been away at the SHOT Show. SHOT was a lot of things, but one thing I noticed that it “wasn’t” was a fashion show. My first day on the show floor, I […]
My SHOT Show Top Ten 2014
Since I spent the entire last post gushing about one single thing, I thought I should at least make an effort to talk about all of the other things I’ve seen and people I’ve met here. This SHOT Show experience has just been overwhelming. I […]

My Kitchen Table at Christmas
I just had the striking realization that it’s Christmas Eve, and that means I have to clean off the kitchen table. People might need to actually – you know- “eat” off of it tomorrow. Now, I don’t know about you, but my kitchen table is […]
Recycled Chamber Flags
Now that more and more ranges are requiring chamber flags for firearms, I thought I would share my solution – and it cost me nothing (My favorite price!!!) I’ve heard of all kinds of homemade options for chamber flags – zip ties, etc, but once […]
Mentors for Latebloomers
It occurred to me last week when I was discussing local buck season, that what I (and women like me) really need is a “Mentored Latebloomer” Hunting program. Many states have a “Mentored Youth” program, so why not a program to mentor the not-so-young? I […]
