I teach about three or four one-hour pistol lessons every week. The most common problem that most shooters have is consistency. A lot of their shots are great, but there is always a flyer or two that misses the mark. Why is this? The answer is: stability. Most shooters think they have some super-human ability

I’m enjoying our new President and a more friendly posture towards the 2nd Amendment. But I am concerned that we continue to promote the correction of several anti-Constitutional laws that remain on the books. The first is the National Firearms Act of 1934.

I’m an avid user of LASR software, the Laser Activated Shot Reporter from John and the great folks at LasrApp.com. Version 4.1 came out in late November.

About 200 years ago, Americans fought for and declared our independence from Great Britain in 1776. If you’ve seen The Patriot, starring Mel Gibson, you’ll remember how they loaded those muskets from the business end of the rifle. Pour in the powder, ram in the ball and wad. Slow process indeed. About 100 years later
