Victorian Duck Hunters Vindicated (April Fools).
Thanks to Sam Grimston for providing our April Fools Post this year. I think it was a great post that highlighted the holes in the anti duck hunters arguments. The names used were anagrams of “April Fools” and they are not real people. I know that this post had some nuance to it and you [...]
Redfield Revolution 3-9x40mm Review
First Impressions Given Redfield’s recent re-emergence on the market and the design and purpose of the scope I was neither disappointed nor overjoyed when first laying eyes on the new Redfield.

Leupold’s RX-1000 Compact Digital Laser Rangefinder
First impressions. When first unpacking the unit the first thing you notice is its diminutive size and weight. At less than 10cm long and 7cm wide the unit is large enough not to get lost and hold steadily, however it fits comfortable in a jacket pocket. At 221 grams it goes almost unnoticed in a [...]

A task for either the Silver Bears or Predators I think. If too many problems the old Annie will get a [...]
Hunting in 2010
So I just spent the past few days, disassembling, cleaning and lubricating and re-assembling all of my firearms in preparation for the coming years hunting. Wouldn’t say it’s my favourite activity but given the investment we all have in our tools/toys not a bad idea to do it every few months to keep them in [...]
