How
to Tell a Pawn from a King...

an awful lot of expensive... Read More
Turning
a Shotgun into a Rifle...

we plan to
do is improve
the gun, bullet, target, and... Read More
Separating
the Wheat from the Chaff...
Ever really listen to a bunch of advertising, media and
marketing people and wonder just what in the blue blazes
they were talking
about? "ADI's, DMA's,
MSA's, etc., etc... ad infinitum... Read More

to Get an Edge on Your Sword...
Look at the advertising that's going on around you. Kind

Fighting
With the Right Ammunition...
'Course, it could read "Don't Try to Fire the W-R-O-N-G

it depends on your perspective. Anyway, load a gun with
the wrong... Read More
How
To Beat Them When They're Not Looking...

PR
AND PEDANTIC PEDAGOGY PERFECTED...
Someone once told me that you shouldn't carry a gun unless
you're willing to use it and, if you do, be prepared to

(or grey)
somebody
lays down
four aces.

You
CAN Beat Them At Their Own Game...
Fighting, any kind of fighting, is traumatic. But only
if you don't know who you are fighting, and if you don't
know
how
to fight.
The one thing
you have
in your arsenal is a little bit of both. And,... Read More
Getting
in Two Licks for the Price of One... "Bushwhacking" doesn't
follow the Marquis of Queensbury rules of fair play, but

time when a small unit has to fight a large
force. To succeed you have to be... Read More
