The wonderful smell of gunpowder in the morning

I will not be posting about every trip to the range in time It really isn’t that exciting for most people, but aside from working, that’s about all I do anymore; I shoot lead in one form or another out the end of a gun of one type or another. With the variety [ READ MORE ]

Chilhowee Sportsmans Club Sporting Clays

As I mentioned in my previous post, I recently went to Chilhowee Sportsman’s Club for the second time. This trip was planned at the last minute after having a conversation with one of the member’s named Curly on the ShotgunWorld.com forums. He and I were discussing the components needed for reloading on Friday night and [ READ MORE ]

Shooting Catch-up

Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve written much here. Been kinda busy I guess. And at the end of any given day, the last thing I really want to do is sit down and type a lot I’ve been shooting a lot of skeet though recently. I’ve lost track of how many [ READ MORE ]

Thanksgiving Weekend Trap Shooting @ Deer Creek

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve written much about shooting, but it’s not for the lack of activity. With the holidays coming up, there’s been a lot more doing, and less writing and downtime. My RSS reader had 700+ unread entries the other day! In the shotgun department though, I’ve shot a couple more rounds [ READ MORE ]

Thanksgiving in Ohio

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had a great day here in Ohio. Brendan spent the morning cleaning his guns with my dad’s gun-cleaning kit. Rich spent the morning reading the paper. Mom and Rich showed me some Heritage Love: Brendan also played with an electric knife. He was in charge of carving the delicious turkey. After dinner [ READ MORE ]

Skeet shooting for the first time

Tiffany and I planned a relaxing outing Saturday. I wanted to take her to see the Elk at the south end of the GSMNP (Great Smoky Mountain National Park), and we had to drive through Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg to get there. So convenient that the Sportsman’s Club is on the way  Picture [ READ MORE ]

CZ Canvasback shotgun

Well let me just start off by saying I have the most awesome wife ever. The two of us certainly do not have a ton of money to spare every month and for the most part we’re just glad to be pulling in steady paychecks in a time when a lot of people are barely [ READ MORE ]

More Shooting (Quick Review of Gatlinburg Sportsman’s Club)

So I have a really exciting life. I have expanded my activities from working, eating, and sleeping, to working, eating, sleeping, and scaring clay pigeons (occasionally hitting them!) So once again, just a short post about my weekend of shooting. Emmett and I went to the John Sevier Hunters Education Center. They are closed the [ READ MORE ]

My guns (aka. why I like living in TN)

Well, for whatever reason I’ve never taken pictures of my guns before. I posted up a “stock photo” of a Mossberg similar to mine last week, but here’s photos of the actual gun. Also, I took a few shots of my SKS w/ folding stock and scope. I’ve been having an absolutely great time with the [ READ MORE ]
