Picture(s) A Day – Nevada Shooters Desert Shoot – 21 February 2010

Sunday was nearly as good as I’d hoped it would be – about 99%
Uli and I got on the road a bit later than we’d planned, but we still got out there plenty early.  I’d say there were a couple of hundred people in attendance who brought all sorts of stuff – regular [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 17 January 2010

I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE BRAND NEW CLARK COUNTY SHOOTING PARK !!!
And what a facility it is   I can’t say enough about the incredible quality of the range, the shooting positions, the target system, or anything about this place   But above all of that, the group of [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 10 January 2010

Folks, I think your well wishes, thoughts, and prayers have finally worked and I’m finally over whatever bug caused me to feel like complete and total crud over the last week or so   I started the day not feeling too hot, but then I only got better
As a matter of fact, [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 8 November 2009

Yeah, I know I’m running a bit behind and all.  I don’t know what did it to me, but I was definitely feeling rather sick on Monday.  I was also more than a bit tired on Sunday night when I uploaded these pics after a fun day in the desert.  Still, here’s hoping y’all like [...]

New Report Coming Soon – Ballistic Resistance Testing of a Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse

About a year ago I purchased a wireless keyboard and mouse combo pack at Wal-Mart.  It’s been OK I guess – it’s done what I wanted it to.  Until lately that is.
Some of the keys on the keyboard have become a bit temperamental.  Of course, these wouldn’t be the keys I never use – those [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 22 October 2009 – Open Desert, Sunset, and “Recoil Therapy™”

Work today… what can I say about it?  Well, if you read my previous post, you probably know about how it went and what I had planned for the short duration of leftover daylight remaining after I left.  “Recoil Therapy™” is what I call it.
“Recoil Therapy™” involves more than just the wonderful, first hand (or [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 11 October 2009

So, another trip to the desert, more rounds downrange, and more fun
Most of today was spent with my shotgun.  I’m still learning about both my particular shotgun and about them in general.  Yeah, I know about keeping the round, open end of the contraption pointed away from me and making sure I keep [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 8 October 2009 – INJURY WARNING!!!

OK, so I’ve got two pictures from yesterday that I was too tired to post last night.  I thought I’d make it through, but I was just too far gone.  I think it might be my cutting back on caffeine   I’m OK with it – I’ve been getting more rest lately which is [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 4 October 2009

I have a confession to make.  My shoulder HURTS!!! But it’s a good kind of hurt
I took my new Maverick 88 out to the desert today for some introductory shooting.  Targets included a couple of pieces of cardboard, a couple of plastic bottles and jugs, and a couple of full cans of soda. [...]

Firearms Safety Refresher

Folks, I love firearms.  You all know that by now.  They’re fun and they’re great tools for the jobs they’re made for.
But they can be dangerous if they’re misused.
I just saw this story on Fox News:
