I created some St. Patrick’s Day targets for a fun shoot I was planning, and they’re now available for download on the Downloads page. These targets are designed to be printed in 11 x 17 or 13 x 19 size, and can be downloaded for free for personal use. I used a combination of AI
One of my favorite characters from the events of April 19th, 1775 is Samuel Whittemore Jr. (February 27, 1694 – February 2, 1793). He was the oldest known combatant of that day, accounting for several of the British losses. One of my favorite YouTube historians has done an excellent video on him, which is definitely worth
I am planning on attending an Appleseed Pistol Clinic later this year. Building on the foundation of the rifle clinics, the Appleseed Pistol Clinic is a fast-paced, high-standard course designed to turn a “handgun owner” into a true marksman.

I attended another Appleseed 25m Clinic last month and had a cracking weekend. I managed to shoot Rifleman four times, increasing my PB twice for a new high of 228. The 10/22 performed flawlessly and I even cleared the Redcoat twice, sticking with my usual CCI SV. Naturally, because it worked so well, I decided
Ever since I got back into shooting in 2018, I’ve been wanting a Beretta 92/M9. Being a part of the generation where we saw Martin Riggs and John McClane toting them, I just had to have one. About a year ago, as the Pandemic Panic buying subsided, I finally found an M9 model. Although it
After my success in June, I decided it was time to stretch my wings a bit. Appleseed also offers a Rimfire Known Distance (RKD) Clinic, and this one was shot all the way out to 200 yards! While a standard Appleseed focuses on the AQT (Army Qualification Test) simulated at 25 meters, the RKD event
