Catching up with Vicki
Back from Oregon We are just getting back from three wonderful days with our daughter Andrea, son-in-law, Tim, and one of our granddaughters, Avery. On Wednesday, Gil went salmon fishing with the boys and I got to play with Avery. They live in Oregon, so we...
Shooting a Moving Target
I shot today in Grants Pass, Oregon, and was amazed again at how lethal it is to move the same speed as the bird. It's not so much the shooter's ability to get the gun in front on long crossers, but the ability of the shooter to see the bird farther...
Teaching in Oregon

From Pennsylvania to Iowa
Our trip from Pennsylvania to Des Moines, Iowa was a little less than perfect. We left Allentown, PA after a great four days. Then on to Chicago, then on to Des Moines, Iowa...
Lehigh Valley Shooting Clinic
This is our third or fourth year to come to the limestone quarry known as Lehigh Valley. We once again had four fabulous days with the staff and students. Some were repeaters, but most were new to us. The weather held out and was only rainy...
Being in Flow
On our recent Argentina trip, I found myself on the third day of the pigeon hunt not shooting very well. I guess that's an understatement of my inability to hit anything. After shooting doves for four days and shooting them very well, then two days...
Cardinal Shooting Center – Our First Visit
We visited a new club out of Columbus, Ohio last weekend and found an oasis in the middle of nowhere. This was our first time, and the facility is beautiful and huge. They have a long row of trap ranges where they host three big trap shoots a year....
