(Stevens 44 1/2 with Unertl 1oX external mount scope) Unertls in good condition are demanding, and getting,
I got involved in Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS) a couple years ago. As with most hobbies I get involved with, the equipment becomes just as much fun as the sport itself! I really enjoy the historical aspect of CAS and the “period correct” firearms that go along with it. My first rifle for the

I wanted a small awning over the door of my truck camper. Most that I looked at were hundreds of dollars and simply didn’t fit my budget. On Amazon.com I found a Outsunny 4′ Drop Arm Manual Retractable Window Awning for under $30! It looked pretty good and for under $30 if it was a
Another one in the books! Oh, and before I go any further….The September 29, 2013 EGG SHOOT is being canceled. Simply can’t work it into the schedule. The Randy Costa Memorial Shoot on October 20th is still a go….See You There! At this shoot we couldn’t use the 300yd range. The recent rains created
