Staying Sharp Don’t lose your hard earned skills I don’t know about you, but the smell of gunpowder just creates a huge goofy grin on my face. I have to admit that I can have a crappy day shooting a match or working on live fire drills, but the fact that I had a chance to shoot always makes up for it. The difficulty of today is that finding ammunition and components to relo... Read More »
What Cant Can Do Someday, we’ll have energy weapons just like in the movies. And said energy weapons will of course defy all of our common understanding when it comes to ballistics and projectiles, at least thats what the movies have taught me.

Hunting with a bullpup There is something magnificent about climbing and bushwhacking through gnarly terrain to get deep into the wild while searching for deer and elk. It is a firmly imprinted memory for me from my last successful rifle hunt, and one that I will never forget. I clearly remember the super steep watershed ditch-like crevasse that I had to nearly crawl up because of the brush,... Read More »
