To me, and many other folks, owning something means that I can do what I want with it. If I go to the store and buy a DVD, I should be able to take it home, and watch it on any of my devices that have a DVD drive in them right? Nope. At least… Read More »
Went to the range yesterday to try out the 795 after the upgrade and check the zero on the new scope. I decided to take the Marlin Papoose with me to check on its zero as well. I’ll write about the 795 in a different post. I’ve noticed I’ve gotten a lot of questions about… Read More »
No… I haven’t blown anything up… Although… this is currently being shipped to me… Regular readers of this blog may remember that I bought a MrBeer kit back in March. I gave it a shot with the mix that came with it, and it came out like higher end American beer (which is the way… Read More »

I knew I had forgotten at least one thing from that big rambling post… well… several things… The three big things that the folks teaching the Appleseed clinic kept pushing were breathing, relaxing, and natural point of aim. The breathing and relaxing are both pretty simple to explain, if you tense up, not only do… Read More »
Me: Oh, we got another couple kids trying to sell magazines come by earlier. Naienko: ok… Me: Yeah… At one point, the guy said “it’s helping us read and become knowledgeable instead of getting into guns and drugs and stuff… So what are your hobbies?” Naienko: …umm… Guns and alcohol?
This past weekend, Wizard, Linoge, Linoge’s wife, and I went down to Manchester for a Project Appleseed rifle clinic. First, a couple bullet points: I witnessed Linoge getting into Wizard’s pants. I’m not a bad shot, but still have room for improvement… like making sure I’m hitting the right target. Concrete is hard. Yes, you… Read More »
Shut up and take my money! (unlike Rob, I do play such games)
