“Where, Oh Where Can I Shoot?”

March 5, 2010

These early days of March are the low point in the hunter’s year. On these gray days there’s very little in North America to hunt for! Quail and rabbit were the last “regular” game seasons to go out. We’re a few weeks away from spring snow geese and even the earliest turkey seasons. It’s even [...]

January 13, 2010

It’s time to envy those waterfowl hunters Down South. Sure they’ve been hit with record cold temps in the last few weeks like everybody else, but for the most part that means good duck hunting! The final days of the season look really promising. Then, of course there are those lucky guys with trips to [...]

No Time For Field Tips

June 16, 2009

It’s been a long time since I’ve shot field tips. No, I didn’t take a 12-step program to kick the habit. I’m not prejudiced against field tips either. I just don’t have time for them.
I’ve been hooked on fixed-blade broadheads for years. I took a short hiatus in the late 1990s and the early part [...]

Managed Recoil Ammo

May 25, 2009

A buddy of mine called me the other day with a common problem. It had to do with his girlfriend. Before he went any further I stopped him and told him I’m not Dr. Phil. Fortunately the problem had to do with firearms. His girlfriend is flinching at the shooting range from the recoil of [...]

Shoot Some Cardboard

March 20, 2009

Do you need something to do this weekend? Shoot some cardboard. Turkey season is right around the corner so you need to get your shotgun out and pattern it. Most shotguns will kill a turkey out to 30 yards with little modification, but if you want a hot rod shotgun, you can modify it to [...]

February 25, 2009

As long as we use rifles to hunt there will be a debate on the best caliber to use. Fortunately that debate is becoming less controversial with the introduction of great bullets such as the Barnes X and Nosler’s Accubond, among others.

4-H Shooting

February 20, 2009

The weekend is coming up and you know what that means, right? For me it means taking my kids to 4-H shooting. Every Friday night local shooting instructors take time to oversee 4-H shooting sport activities and aid in coaching shooting instruction. It’s great.
Both my kids participate, but I have to be honest. My daughter [...]
