So deer season is upon us, and I’m getting my gear ready. Silly season started at the range a few weeks ago with everyone dragging out their deer rifles. I had finished my load selection a few months ago and wanted to load up a few more rounds, check my zero and call [...]

I’m now apart of the problem!!
Now that I have this, I can start working on getting the approvals to start teaching classes to help folks get their Missouri Concealed Carry permit. I’ll post more as the process progresses…..

Gentle Reminder
Deer season is upon us. Just a quick reminder to unload your rifle before climbing your tree stand. A hunter in New Hampshire found himself with one more hole than he started his day with because he neglected to follow this rule. A similar thing happened to my wife’s uncle a few [...]

The first batch I worked up used Accurate 2460. I really wasn’t happy with how that batch shot. My shooting bench setup wasn’t good, and it also revealed just how bad my trigger was on [...]
