    Black Friday = Mule Deer

    My father-in-law and I went out near Bushwacker Coule in North Central Montana (Butch & Sundance hid out there once) and had some luck yesterday. A mule deer did what mule deers do - staring at me from 205 yds. She's in the coolers on the porch and I expect 50+ lbs. boned out. It was a...

    Ralph Peter's latest

    Take a look here. The underlying thesis is applicable to almost any strategic or tactical situation, not just the Middle East. Avoid "mirror thinking." Enjoy, rwc

    NRA RSO Course

    Just a quick note to reflect on the NRA Range Safety Officer course I took over the weekend. My local range is not open to the public and has limited, set openings. Otherwise you have to be RSO certified to shoot there alone, hence my interest in the course (we're also considering "going...

    Kudos to Kershaw

    I have a Ken Onion "Chive" and I broke the small blade retainer off last week. I emailed them through their website and they promptly mailed me two sets of replacement parts. Now that is service.

    Old Wingmaster + new barrel?

    A local pawn shop has an old WM with a 28in. barrel, Modified choke (no tubes). The grip cap has a white inset and the buttpad is the old style, open-waffle design. I'm not sure how old it is. If I wanted to swap in a new barrel, are old Wingmasters compatible with all (or some) current 870...

    THTF - Trees Hitting the Fan...

    Back online after what one Northwest utility is calling "The Big Whopper." The basics: Food - The more full a freezer is the longer it stays cold. My upright freezer is in the garage and vacuum packed venison stayed solid for the 48 hours we were without power. 3-5 days probably would have...

    Field dressing a Deer to packaged meat - graphic

    {Gory warning} I posted earlier about hunting deer and ducks in Montana over the Thanksgiving holiday. As much to help me remember what my father-in-law has shown me as anything else I thought I would type this out and share it. This is the process he and his wife have used for decades. It...

    Giving thanks for Montana

    or at least one MT deer and one MT duck, that zigged when they should have zagged. I spent Thanksgiving in and around Great Falls, MT, where my wife grew up and her folks still live. We flew in the Thursday before and as the sun was setting her father and I were at the range making sure my...

    Favorite AR Tritium front post?

    I'm looking for one for an SU-16C so it must allow the "lamp" to be oriented back on all four positions (instead of being fixed). Thanks. rwc

    Defensive Handgun I (WA)

    I spent Sunday at Wade's in Bellevue, WA taking the Defensive Handgun I course, taught by John Clarke. His two core principles were: 1. Don't take shots you can't make. 2. The purpose of shooting is hitting. The implication of this is that accuracy was a strong focus. He did not teach...
