Take the Star Road
Peter Grant’s new book Take the Star Road is now available at Amazon. I read it when it was being edited and re-read it again when making the cover design. I recommend it, especially if you like the style of … Continue reading
Little girl and her chaperone
The pair was watching the graduation ceremony at Vanderbilt Law School. The man’s niece — little girl’s mother — got her diploma.
Encouraging sights at the NRA convention.
This boy, at the show with his grandfather, was excited about an aftermarket stock for his 10-22 that was a perfect fit. The girl, at Savage Arms booth with her mother and older sister, was trying out a Stevens 512 … Continue reading
RFB in mid-cycle
No muzzle rise even while the bolt is still moving forward to chamber the next round.
Back from the NRA show.
Full report would take more time than I have, so I will start with a few photos. Chris Cheng with IWI Tavor and Primary Arms light and soon to be released red dot. The same rifle with a rather nice … Continue reading

It fits anywhere.
The reason so many news accounts of self-defense mention pocket-sized pistols is their convenience. A .45 would be better than a .380 but the latter gets carried more, especially by people who don’t dress around the gun. A picket holster … Continue reading
Looking for connections in Switzerland
Please email me if you live in Switzerland of have good friends there. I may be traveling in that direction later this year and would like to meet the locals. My interest is mostly in the culture and the people.
It takes more than just a pink stock to fit a rifle for a lady
Savage Lady Hunter with 2.5-10x Nightforce scope. The rifle is very light, and its hardwood stock has greater than usual comb height.
Improve your odds
As an aside, I’d like to note that the woman shown in the photos was kidnapped at 19 following an armed robbery of her workplace. The druggie criminal promised to rape her. She managed to get the kidnapper’s pistol from … Continue reading

Name this rifle.
Sergeant Hartman: What’s this weapon’s name, Private Pyle? Private Pyle: Sir, the Private’s weapon’s name is Charlene, sir! My suggestion was “Judith” after another lethal Israeli. Whatever the name, this rose smells equally sweet to my friend Charles. He’s been … Continue reading
Very tacticute
Melissa Gilliland keeps up her side of the family standards by being a competitive shooter in her own right. The rifle is an Asbury Precision Ordnance ASW with 3-15x Light Tactical by Premier Reticles. I’ve seen her kick ass with … Continue reading

Due to cultural expectations, some defensive arms have more credibility that others. For example, a young woman wearing chain mail and wielding a sword would not be taken all that seriously by many. The look is too quaint, and there … Continue reading

Very nice jewelry
Mike Williamson just turned me onto jewelry by Jeni Benos. Gorgeous work — and the artist herself is a work of art too.
Turning 18.
Three years ago, I took this photo of 15 year old Rachel. She had fun with the bolt action but had to shoot it from a support due to the stock length and considerable overall heft. Yesterday, I took photos … Continue reading
