Crafting the words and images that capture the spirit of the outdoor sports and the beauty that surrounds them.
I wish I took these photos, because that means I would have gotten my hands on some of the freshly minted firearms now that Inland Manufacturing is back in the gun business. I didn’t, unfortunately, but there’s no way I wasn’t going to share the eye candy the company sent after I contacted them for […]

Mission First Tactical has rolled out its first line of muzzle devices. There’s five in all, and I’m in the process of getting good pictures to accompany my reviews.
