Urgent NSSF Action Alert: Call Your U.S. Representative
In the next week, the U.S. House of Representatives could consider the EXPLORE Act, an outdoor recreation package that would, among other things, provide for more recreational shooting opportunities on federal lands. The Range Access Act, included in this larger package, would require the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Forest Service, after consultation with local stakeholders, to build recreational shooting ranges in each BLM district and National Forest in underserved areas where opportunities don’t already exist. These opportunities would allow for more access to public shooting ranges for target practice, a place to sight in rifles before hunting season, and venues for in-person hunter safety courses, all without competing against private ranges that offer the same opportunities.

Call your U.S. Representative at (202) 225-3121 and ask that they request a floor vote on this important industry priority before the close of the 118th Congress. NSSF—The Firearm Industry Trade Association

As I mentioned in my previous article, this year we are upgrading my daughter’s, Addison’s, fi****ms training. While she has briefly handled a pistol before, I wanted to teach her more advanced shooting skills, as well as the basics of how to clean and care for her gun. She has seen me do this throughout the years, but this summer, we are taking a more hands-on approach with the R***r SR22 – a great beginner pistol.

In the late summer of 2023, Springfield Armory released the Echelon and touted it as a new standard for modern, striker-fired duty pistols. Now, just in time to relieve yourself of holiday stresses and/or to start planning for your income tax return check, Springfield Armory introduces the Echelon 4.0C. Find out why you might want to add this 9mm handgun to your "my next gun" list.

Michelle Cerino received a Springfield Echelon 4.0C. Find out what she did with it before her first trip to the range, and why.

Do you Crave Flavor? Let me introduce you to the Parmesan crusted venison bottom round steak. Just a bit of background, I carved my mule deer bottom round roast into 5 thick individual steaks. I prefer to keep large cuts of game whole for times like these where I want a specific cut for dinner. Keeping meat in its entirety is a game changer and allows you to be more creative when it comes to meal planning.

Kristy Crabtree and Wild Game Cuisine serve up a delicious way to prepare bottom round steak in this parmesan crusted venison featured recipe.

The other day, I spent a few hours working with a new client, Melanie (name changed for privacy). Prior to COVID, she trained regularly under the watchful eyes of an outstanding instructor. Recently, after spending time on the range with her son and seeing the results of her target, Melanie realized she needed to get back to training. Her shot placement did not meet to her standards, and she also struggled racking the slide and gripping the gun. Melanie thinks her increased arthritis pain and lack of hand strength are now affecting her shooting. She came to me, committed to her training, to find out her options to continue shooting through the pain of arthritis and be able to defend herself.

For the better part of the last 2 decades, I have not paid much attention to the progression of AR style weapons, ever since diving into long range shooting with bolt action rifles. I had been trained on the M-16 during my time in the Army and purchased one of the familiar AR-15 civilian versions years ago. An AR-10 has long been on my “wish list” of guns to add to the collection, but after 20 years of having my head in the sand and every time I popped up to take a peek into acquiring one of my own, the completely mind-numbing number of manufacturers of AR style weapons and accessories was just too much to sift through, until now. I got the opportunity to review a unique version of the AR-10, Springfield Armory’s Saint Victor .308 AR-10 pistol.

I love the smell of freshly burnt gunpowder. There’s just something about a crisp morning afield or on the range with that magnificent smell wafting across a fall breeze that makes my heart happy. I enjoy archery hunting because of the close encounters, but not as much as I love the smell of gun smoke. I decided handgun hunting was the perfect pairing for my particular passions of getting close to game and that aroma.

Your legs are starting to cramp mercilessly. Your deep, labored breaths feel like shards of glass in the cold morning air. All the while, your girlfriends seem to be skipping through the prairie, enamored with the thrill of chasing feathers and watching their dogs beautifully quarter the wind.

It would be a safe bet to assume that most victims of property crime did not wake up that morning and say this: “Today is the day we get robbed so put up the valuables.” I would also go out on a limb and say that most people think that their homes are secure, which, in turn, makes them safe. That is not always the case, so I have a goal. I would like to plant the seed for you to think about how you could deter criminals and even make them change their minds, and NOT pick your home to burglarize.

The Complete Combatant, Shelley Hill, gives us common-sense tips for thwarting property crime in our homes.
