Vera Koo’s story of Yuanfen is her third column in a six-part series that is inspired by the writings in her memoir, which will be published later this year.

Humdrum should never describe our shooting range experience. Pack up the guns and ammo, go to the range, shoot at a paper target, reload, repeat. It takes a disciplined person to do this on a regular basis, but if you’ll add in a little “fun factor”, you might find that range drills can be both […]

This should have probably been a first week of January letter, but I bought a house and moved over the holidays … so, it was anything but restful. Now that I am relatively settled, I’m finally finding some time to catch up on a few things – namely my Syren Savvy column. Let’s look back […]

After a few years, it seems that maybe someone has a new banner or branding, but there’s a lot going on in the firearms industry that doesn’t seem […]

I developed a passion for wingshooting at a very young age. From watching the bird dogs work to the comradery during and after a hunt, wingshooting is a special type of hunting that will always be unique for me. Recently I got exposed to duck hunting (in Northern California) and have become addicted! Based on […]

When I enrolled at San Francisco State after graduating high school, I do not think I realized just how valuable the next 4 years of my life would be. I attended college because my friends were going to college. It just seemed like the natural progression after high school. Five decades after graduating with a […]

During SHOT Show, I had a fun time watching the Girls With Guns (GWG) Clothing 2019 collection “fashion show” at their booth.

On a recent pheasant hunt in Kansas with CZ-USA, I met 15-year-old Makayla Scott and her dad, Telford, from White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.

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. My waders, between hunts, got a wash with well water as […]

I don’t switch out guns like I change my shoes. However, I like to have a few guns to choose from for my concealed carry options, and have tended to choose smaller framed versions that I can easily conceal in inside-the-waistband holsters. With winter coming in strong, and with the purchase of 2 new longer-length […]

I’ve been carrying concealed for many years now, and as a women who uses a wheelchair, my preferred method is to use a concealed carry handbag. Because I sit all day, with frequent transfers, I don’t wear a belt for comfort reasons, as well as the fact that I don’t ever run the risk of […]

It’s that most WONderful time of the year – which is one the line of my favorite holiday songs. Indeed, this is the time of year when we receive gifts from friends and family. Sometimes, that may come in the form of cold, hard cash. With the New Year coming, and with some extra money […]
