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 ]

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.

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 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 ]
