Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved to collect flowers and dry them. Of course, when I was a child, we dried flowers the old-fashioned way – between the pages of a book or by air. Although I still dry flowers and herbs by air, I recently found the Microfleur Flower Press, […]

For the obvious reason, that most models of firearms offer the same locations for controls, the same type of anatomy of the frame and an overall comfort level to users who prefer a particular make and model. Take […]

Tennessee native Kylie McCrea started shooting when she was 3 and began hunting at 5. Her dad owned an outfitting company, so it seemed natural that she learned and took to the tradition of hunting early. Ten years later, she has tagged deer, turkey, hogs, blackbuck, Axis, black bear elk and a few raccoons. She […]

They graciously […]
