It’s funny how familiarity works. When you see someone nearly every spring for more than a decade, you think you know them. From the smiles on the range and the casual quick catch ups, in truth, these interactions just skim the surface. I’ve been shooting with Vera Koo for many years. We’ve competed against one […]

I’ve been shooting Remington V3s since they rolled off the assembly line in Ilion, New York, and that has been a few years now. I’ve never met one I didn’t like – whether it was in a duck blind or a pheasant field. Recently, I had the opportunity to try the new Waterfowl Pro at […]

Well, it finally happened, I reached the big five-oh. And with it came a few changes that I first noticed this past summer.
