It’s good to be back shooting. I took a look and my last time out to practice shooting was August of 2014. Except for getting out to the range for a short while in 2016 for a sighting check on my game rifles and a couple of shots at game, I haven’t fired a rifle …

Awesome Hog and Predator Light
Out this last weekend with the SOGNET group for some deer hunting. The we headed out at night for some hog hunting. I broke out my XLR 250 Kill Light® and the group was impressed. It gives you complete target vision at distances at or exceeding 250+ yards with eye shine visible up to 500 …

Do-It-Yourself Electronic Predator Caller
I wanted an electronic caller, but it wasn’t (and isn’t) in the budget. But a little foray into the garage yielded the parts needed to put my own together. If you had to go out and buy all the parts, it would probably run about $80. It’s not wireless, yet, but it works and works …

Prime Times for Fishing (and Hunting)

Whether you were anti-war or not (and I was not), the song was/is a classic. So for those of my generation that want …

Jimmy Lile was known as “The Arkansas Knife Maker” and also as the “Gentleman Knife Maker”. He was well known within the custom knife making trade and …

2013-09-22 Field Report – New CZ 452 Ultra Lux in .22 LR
Well, I sold my CZ 452 Military Trainer in .22 LR and replaced it with an Ultra Lux. The Trainer shot great and with so many great reports I was hoping that I wasn’t trading down. But as I’m really enjoying offhand shooting with irons I wanted the longer sight radius the Ultra Lux offers. …
