I have been turkey hunting for more than 15 years now. While some might consider me a seasoned turkey hunter, I always feel I have more to learn. Through the years I have had several mentors along the way. I still utilize some of their tactics along with some I have learned myself, the hard […]

Do you like to shoot Five Stand, Sporting Clays or Trap, but dread the soreness and bruising you experience later that day, the next day or even the day after that? Do you ever shy away from shooting your shotgun to avoid the abusive recoil? Well, ladies, keep reading because I found a great product. […]

Can’t get ammo? Yeah, well, neither can the police! Recently, officers from another jurisdiction transported a prisoner from their county to ours. They said that their chief told them to, “stop at every Walmart, every sporting goods store and every Farm and Fleet in between, and buy every box of .40-caliber ammunition available.” Consumers realized […]

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend I’m a big fan of my SIG Sauer P238. I carry it more than any other firearm I own. It was my first SIG firearm, but I knew it wouldn’t be my last. Consequently, I’m also a big fan of diamond plate. As a matter of fact, I have […]

As an avid angler, I respect the dangers of the sport and am a strong advocate for use of a Personal Floatation Device (PFD) when on or near the water’s edge. Conditions on the water can change at a moment’s notice, and having the right PFD is essential for survival. That being said, as a woman with […]

Large financial expenditures seem small when your life depends on it I spare no expense in making sure my duty belt contains the best equipment allowed by my agency’s policy. I work in an unforgiving environment where calling a ‘time out’ isn’t an option. It’s not uncommon for policies to be out of date, or […]

It all started about two weeks before the official spring turkey season commenced here in Missouri last year. I had been out scouting and came back with multiple chigger bites on my ankles and lower legs. Although I sprayed Permethrin on my boots and jeans, the lil’ critters still climbed aboard my legs and chewed […]

I can tolerate cold. I can tolerate wet. I cannot tolerate cold and wet. Every waterfowler  knows the uncomfortable feeling of donning outerwear  that’s still wet and cold from the morning hunt, or pulling on waders that have sat in the truck all night and are just plain frigid or frozen in a permanent folded […]

It’s still a bit of whirlwind when we think back on our week in Las Vegas at the Shooting Hunting Outdoor Trade Show. Britney Starr and I ran ourselves ragged in our efforts to find products for women. We compiled a list of a some of our favorites. There will be more throughout the year, as we actually test the products in the field and at the range.

“Hey, Barb … you look pretty comfy in that seat,” said a voice that I quickly recognized while in the Hunter’s Specialties booth at SHOT Show recently. It was Hunter’s Specialties’ pro Pat Muffler, who hails front the U.P of Michigan and who once served as my turkey guide in Oklahoma during a women’s hunt. […]

Last April, Smith & Wesson unveiled the M&P Shield, in 9mm and .40 calibers. This past summer I had the chance to test out Smith & Wesson’s new M&P Shield 9mm.  I also purchased another brand of 9mm, designed for conceal carry. So, I spent some time at the range with both pistols for a […]

The Colt 1911 Gold Cup is not a new gun design, but it is a gun I had not yet experienced and was anxious to do so. In fact, the Colt 1911 Gold Cup was first introduced in the 1950s. Its longevity in the marketplace is a testament to the success of its superior design. Although […]

Oh, how I hate being cold and uncomfortable. I’ve sat with the boys in the woods during youth shotgun seasons with my hands in my pockets, or under my rear end or tucked in my armpits. Sometimes nothing helps, no matter how many layers of gloves I have on. With my first time attempting to […]

Just when I thought it was almost winter and time to pack away the picnic gear, I got the nicest surprise – a  box on my front porch, containing some new goodies to review from Liquid Solutions. The first item out of the box was a Sof-flex water bottle. This was fun. It holds 16 […]

To say I was thrilled when offered the opportunity to review the THE ORIGINAL MUCK BOOT COMPANY’s new  Fieldblazer™ boot  in a great Mossy Oak camouflage pattern is an understatement. I have always been a fan of Muck boots and own several other styles of Muck footwear. The Original Muck Boot Company uses  this tag […]
