SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (November 11, 2015) — Smith & Wesson Corp. today announced that the International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) Back Up Gun (BUG) Nationals reached a successful conclusion over the weekend with more than 200 of the nation’s top shooters competing for divisional honors. Held at the Smith & Wesson Employee Sports Center, the theme for this year’s match focused on the “Roaring Twenties,” which challenged competitors with intricate props and shooting obstacles inspired from the decade as they raced through 13 stages of fire. When the final scores were calculated, Shane Coley was named BUG Semi-Automatic Champion after posting the top score for the match and Daniel Humphreys took home top honors in the BUG Revolver Division. Elsewhere in competition, Smith & Wesson’s own Randi Rodgers reclaimed the High Lady Title for the third  consecutive year using an M&P® Compact in 9mm.

We had so much fun last year when some women from Ruger Arms came to visit us here in the Ozarks, that we had to repeat again this year; thus, the “part deux.”. And this year, instead of blowing stuff up, we shot even more guns and tried out the new Ruger Precision Rifle at 200 yards. We also visited an antiques shop and the NRA National Sporting Arms Museum at Bass Pro Shops, in Springfield, Mo. We stopped in to visit with 5th graders at the WOLF school, too.

In this installment of #HuntingwithJR, Judy Rhodes gives you some helpful information about quail and how to hunt them.
