Going to the “Dark Side” Red Dot Pistol Sight

So another year passes…and we are now in a new decade…still no flying cars. Now this is a good thing I think, as folks still have issue figuring out who goes first at 4 way stops. As it happens, even tho I’m probably in the best shape of my life, it’s been a past few […]

Steel Targets

The aiRCam!!

New invention? You bet! Cool gizmo? You know it! The aiRCam is basically a HD camera suspended on a zip line. The idea was to have a tool that would give the viewer the feel of a shot filmed from a production helicopter platform…without the huge cost in both money and time that hiring a […]

Check your ammo…and your gun!!

Custom or Production Knife?

  If you haven’t heard yet, I like custom handmade knives. Since the first Randall Model 12 Confederate Bowie I purchased new in 1978 for the hefty price of $200. Like many knives and guns I wish I still had, I miss this knife. When I sold it, years later, it sold for $800. Yes, […]
