...First aid on the range — Are you prepared?
While browsing through Facebook, I often see posts from shooters practicing at a range, competing in a match or just plinking in their own backyard.

On the last full weekend of spring bear season, my husband, Todd, our son, Wyatt and I loaded up the truck to head to the Blue Mountains of northeast Oregon to meet with our dear friend, Mark, in hunting camp. Mark’s daughter was supposed to join us, but school obligations kept her away, leaving me as the only woman in the group. Among everyone in camp, we would have 2 bear tags, a cougar tag and several turkey tags to fill. The odds stacked in our favor that we would not be coming home empty handed. Or, so we hoped.
...Tips on how to choose competition and concealed-carry holsters
When I first started shooting, I didn’t give much thought to the holsters I wore. Mind you, I was an 11-year-old girl, and the biggest problem I had was whether or not my hair was straight and my shirt was purple. However, during the last 16 years, I have come to learn and appreciate the intricacies of how holsters are made and what a great holster can do for you. What I have learned is purely my experience and opinion. Hopefully some of this information will save you time and is valuable to you, too.

...Tackling bass lure basics
Most bass fishing anglers own enough artificial lures to fill a small tackle store. Yet a bass angler only needs a handful of baits to catch bass on most waterways. Tackle manufacturers prey on the fact that anglers are like children in a candy store, everything looks good! If we stay focused on the task at hand we can save a lot of money and still catch as many bass as the next angler. To help us stay focused, let’s simplify what an angler needs to catch bass by breaking a waterway down into three water columns and then the lures needed in those water columns.
