As an outdoorsman, I enjoy being afield in all sorts of capacities. While hunting is one of my favorite pastimes, fishing and hiking are a wonderful means of spending time with friends and family and living in close proximity to both the Catskill and Adirondack mountains, there is ample opportunity for both of those activities. I am also, by trade, a Professional Land Surveyor, so my work hours are often spent in the remote wilderness areas.

BY Jeff Cramblit Published: September 22, 2017 { 6 comments }Waterfowl hunters are a dedicated lot; heading off to the lakes and swamps before daylight, stringing out decoys, shivering motionlessly in the blind as the morning fog cuts through their best camo jacket, all for the sake of making the skies rain ducks and geese.

A 1911 Crushing Targets at 180 meters — Dan Wesson Elite Series Brings the Fury
BY Clay Martin Published: September 21, 2017 { 21 comments }What do you call a double stack 1911 in 9mm, with an Excalibur level trigger, an RMR, and a threaded barrel? Dan Wesson calls that the Fury. One of the most appropriately named pistols I have seen. I would have to concur. This pistol has roots in paper and steel matches, but God help whoever is on the other end of this as a tactical gun.

Bag of Tricks — Use Your Gear to Stabilize Your Position
BY Clay Martin Published: September 21, 2017 { 3 comments }From the perspective of a soldier, there are not that many things that are actually always with you in the field.

It has all your scant comforts, like dry socks, and a sleeping bag if you are living large that day. But it can also help you make an otherwise unattainable shot.
