The Blog

I am so thrilled with how well Shoot has been received. The comments that made it into the book’s first pages are from people I think the world of and look up to.  The foreword was penned by Sandy Froman, past President of the National Rifle Association, a woman who has literally led the charge in protecting our Second Amendment. I had the honor of meeting and shooting with Sandy at one of Kay Miculek’s Ladies Camps where I was an instructor and she is truly a remarkable lady.

My last post from the NSSF SHOT Show is all about products! I am a bit sad that I didn’t have much time to walk the aisles of the show but I did manage to see a few things that have me excited.

Smith & Wesson has a new clothing line that debuted at SHOT. With built in concealed carry features and details firearms enthusiasts can appreciate, it’s also fashion forward. I love how modern yet classic looking the clothes are. And an actual line for women??? Happiness!

More from the 2012 SHOT Show…

What else do I love about SHOT? The people. SHOT Show is always packed with the grassroots heroes of our industry otherwise known as the gun and gear dealers, the many manufacturing and sales reps, and, of course, members of the media. You never know who you are going to run into. In a lot of ways it’s like a four day happy hour! Continuing with my favorite moments from SHOT, this post is all about just some of the über cool people at the show…

The National Shooting Sports Foundation’s (NSSF) SHOT Show was simply HUGE. I fed off the energy the entire week and in my opinion, it was the best SHOT Show yet! When I started to jot down all my favorite moments from the show for a blog post, there were so many. Instead of one really long post, I am breaking it all down into mini posts over the next few days and even put together a podcast. Podcasting is definitely new ground for me but I put out some feelers last year and based on great feedback, I put … Read the full story

I remember going to my first SHOT Show when I was in the Army. Members of the Army Marksmanship Unit scored entry because it was so close to home, in nearby Atlanta, Georgia.  I recall walking through the aisles oh so many years ago in complete awe. So this is the shooting, hunting and outdoor industry!  Even though I had been to plenty of gun shows when I was a kid, it was like nothing I had ever seen. Little did I know that a few years later, I would be working my first show.

SHOT Show is still exciting … Read the full story

2011 goes in the books as one of the most memorable for me in my shooting career. It was very difficult to narrow down my year into just 11 moments, but here they are…

11. Adventures in 3-Gunning – I took a big leap out of my comfort zone this season and explored the sport of 3-Gun.  Many years ago I shot a few multi-gun style matches, but this sport has greatly evolved since then. I have a lot to learn about racing with the Smith & Wesson M&P15 and Benelli M2 and though 3-Gun is still very much in … Read the full story
