As in years past, I again journeyed down to South Carolina to spend a week sitting in hunting blinds hoping to score some venison or pork. This year, we were a group of four. I drove down with a close friend that I work with, while one of my oldest friends that I consider a […]
A few years back, I wrote a perennially popular article about AR-15 setup titled “A Tale of Two Carbines.” Well, I’m going to borrow the title because it is apropos of what I’m going to talk about in this post.

As I’ve written about here on the blog in past years, the show is a sprawling collection of multiple exhibit halls and arenas. Covering firearms, archery, hunting, fishing, boating, and outdoor living and […]
A couple of years ago, I penned a piece for the blog highlighting the value that hunting may have for the average concealed carry civilian. I stand by what I wrote and it is still one of my personal favorite articles. I thought I would revisit the subject and share a little of what I’ve […]
