Back to the Shot Show

Meet Ashlea!


At least I think I got her name right.  She is from Scottsdale and was representing Streak Visual Ammo.  I will probably make this a bit too simple and slightly incorrect.  But they have a bright red coating on the backside of the bullet.  It provides some visibility, without using a tracer round, to see the bullet trail in flight.  I've used it a few times!

Lovely meeting you Ashlea.

Happy 16th Birthday to my Oldest Grandchild

 Good luck on your driver's test this AM.  I hope the best for you.  But, I am terrified, as a grandparent, that you don't have enough experience on the ice and snow.  Happy 16th. And GOOD LUCK


Damn...you are almost as good looking as I am!   And I am challenging you to another arm wrestling contest.  This time, you won't take me down in less than 2 seconds.  It might take you 3 seconds!

Happy New Year: 2025

 A time for some fun.  This was several years ago.  Today, that young boy is less than a week from his drivers license.

Christmas in 2010

 I miss you both.  I lost my sister and my dad in 2023.  Lost my sister on Oct 25th.  Lost dad on Dec 23rd.   It is a much emptier Christmas without them. 


May you enjoy the holidays with the people you love.  There comes a time when they are gone.

The SHOT Show continues!

 

Meet Moises and Ming (see below). They were from Maxpedition.   Maxpedition makes wonderful and durable backpacks.  I have one.   I am left-handed and they pointed out that I did indeed have the right back/side pack for being left-handed.  I had been trying to figure out which side it should reside on.  

Thank you, gentlemen!!

Meet Ben from Bering Optics!  Bering makes wonderful night vision optics.  A bit out of my price range. But damn, they are nice.

Thanks for chatting Ben!

Someone is getting ready for winter

Stumbled upon this little guy (I am guessing, of course) while "up north". There is nothing like a quiet walk in the woods in the autumn with the leaves turning.   


I will return to the Shot Show attendees after this brief pause to enjoy nature.
