Last weekend Team Smith & Wesson cleaned up once again at the ICORE International Revolver Championships. It’s a fun and challenging match near beautiful Morro Bay, CA which is also not too far from Apex Tactical HQ. I have shot the match twice with my Smith & Wesson 627 V-Comp made open division race-ready by [...]

The digital nesting continues as I get ready to welcome this little one into the world and prepare to fill my computer with LOTS of baby photos.  Today I found this pic from the 2006 NRA Bianchi Cup and thought I would share. Yep, it’s me with no hat and out of the shooting garb! [...]

It’s Throwback Thursday so I thought I would share a photo from my Army days and the ever fun preparation for dog and pony shows. As a soldier in the Army Marksmanship Unit we did plenty of demos, especially the members of the Action Shooting Team. We put on a fun show if I do [...]

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (February 27, 2013) – Smith & Wesson Corp. today announced the successful completion of the 16th Annual International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) Indoor National Championships. Held at the Smith & Wesson Employee Shooting Sports Center in Springfield, Massachusetts, this year’s match featured over 320 competitors from across the United States, three foreign nations [...]

The Smith & Wesson IDPA Indoor National Championships is underway! Most of the safety officers have already completed their match and now many more competitors have their turn. The first national championship of the year promises to be another exciting event. Whether its the prestigious titles to be won, the dynamic courses of fire using a variety [...]

Don’t be fooled by her fluffy appearance and love of rubber duckies. Our cat Webley is quite the huntress. Bugs, rodents, snakes, and small birds had best beware! Much to my surprise when I almost stepped on the remains she elaborately displayed before the front door one day, she also has a confirmed kill on a pheasant. Nothing [...]

A highlight of SHOT Show for me is attending the live demos in the Safariland booth. Not only is it a wonderful opportunity to talk about and showcase Safariland’s diverse line of products, I get to hang out with some of my favorite shooters. We have a lot of fun with it and there’s a [...]

I’ve been looking forward to Crimson Trace’s big SHOT Show announcement for a while. Since August to be exact. To rewind even further, a few years ago I was in The Art of Survival, a free DVD from Crimson Trace that offered information and instruction on the use of lasers. I had a great time [...]

Posting a few more snapshots from Day 2 & 3 of SHOT Show tonight. Tomorrow is the last day of this amazing event. More to follow soon!

What a fantastic start to the 2013 SHOT Show. I managed to snap a few pics today and am getting these up before it’s lights out for me. Hope you enjoy!

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to get organized. I have so many photos and videos scattered in different folders and hard drives that it’s nearly impossible to find anything quickly. I am determined to change that for 2013 and have already started the daunting task. I thought for sure I would dread it, [...]

Firearms and fashion aren’t two topics that usually go together. It might be that guns are usually considered guy “things” and as I have been told, gun dudes don’t “do” fashion.  I have been shooting for over 20 years so that whole bit about guns just being for boys doesn’t sit so well with me.
