At least 100 children stood on a line in the Branson Convention Center, facing archery targets that stood 15 meters away. Hands on their bows, they waited for the command to shoot. And then, they let the arrows fly. Five arrows in 2 minutes. I’d never heard anything like that thwack, thwack, thwack, as the […]

As tempting as it might be to get your waders off after a fishing trip or duck hunt and forget about them in a closet, it’s necessary to wash your waders before storing them.  I hunted ducks in Arkansas and Mississippi right after Christmas.

We continue our series in what to wear to the range.
