Shotgun Life Women: Shooting tips from Deborah McKown
Does recoil from your shotgun cause bruises on your bicep? That’s because the stock is too long. With the correct Length of Pull (LOP), the recoil pad should naturally fit in the soft area between your shoulder and chest, known as the pocket. In addition to eliminating the discomfort, the proper LOP will improve swing, balance and target focus. Wing and clays shooting is supposed to be fun, not painful. If you feel anything more than a push from the gun after the shot is fired, visit a stock fitter.

...Debunking myths about concealed carry
Once again, the news is awash with anti-gun stories, the Internet is buzzing about gun ownership and the right to carry, and the stupid has been turned up to 11. I am absolutely exhausted from being unfairly attacked by the media and others who blindly follow the disinformation and smear campaigns against law-abiding gun owners. It’s disheartening and extremely irritating to see so many myths, hyperbole and out-and-out lies being spread by people that are willfully ignorant and incredibly misinformed about making the choice to carry a firearm. You’re not alone if you feel like you’re talking to a brick wall when it comes to getting the average person to stop and simply listen to the facts about gun owners.
