    My first trip to Camp Perry

    I went for CMP Rifle week. I have so many good stories, and came away with so many memories, and learned so much that I'll have to let things settle a bit before I can collect all my thoughts. But I'll leave you with this. I had a commemorative T-shirt done.

    Resources for High Power Competition

    Many, many moons ago I participated in a base-wide rifle competition when I was stationed in Cuba. I’m just now getting back into the sport. Lately I’ve seen a few discussions about High Power here and thought I’d share some resources I’m using to get myself “back into the game.” Some are...

    DOJ gives new tools to ATF on guns - "Border states" to report assault weapons sales

    So, does this mean that the dealers still have to report the sale if the BATFE ordered them to sell the rifles to the drug cartel members? Or do they just have to report the ones the ATF didn't instruct them to sell? :rolleyes...

    Book Review - Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooting by Bryan Litz

    I did a quick search here, but didn't see much discussion on this book except for passing references. I thought I'd do a little in depth write-up here. I got this book for myself as a Christmas present. A colleague recommended it to me. He retired from the PA State Ballistics Crime lab a...

    Local news story about carrying a gun

    This story took about 6 months of effort with CBS News to make happen. It was filmed during a training class at my club last month. As you watch it, consider these questions . . . Was this a positive story about gun rights? Was it personal - i.e., did it grab your attention and...

    Tyler T grips

    I wanted to begin a thread about the Tyler T-grips. A good many of the guns that left the factories of Colt, Smith & Wesson and the early Ruger Six series (Service/Speed/Security) had fairly minimal wood grips. Whole generations of young shooters are now rediscovering the value of these...

    Thoughts on choosing a Trainer or a School to attend

    I posted this on The Firing Line in response to a question about choosing a trainer or a school, and I thought I'd cross-post it here. It goes on for a while, but for anyone wanting to take some training and doesn't know how to evaluate which one, or even if the one you're considering taking is...

    It's a thinking problem . . .

    This occurred about 15 minutes from my house yesterday. I pass the place where this woman was abducted to buy my tobacco all the time. Take note that she solved the problem with her social skills. The drive from Lemoyne to Lancaster takes about 45 minutes. We aren't told how the cab driver...

    need to buy some targets for a Block Shoot at my club

    We're organizing a local Block Shoot at my club, and I need help locating some targets. They are smaller sized pieces of paper with 2 X's on them. One main X, and a smaller X in the corner for a tie-breaker. I'm not a shotgunner, or a block shoot enthusiast. But my understanding is these...
