Swakane Canyon

By Aaron Spuler | April 29, 2010 |

Another great shooting location just outside of Cashmere, Washington. There really is something to be said for shooting in the great outdoors. You get to enjoy the sunshine, the scenery, and the fresh air. You’re not surrounded by other shooters at the firing line. Targets for the day were mostly coke cans and clays set…

By Aaron Spuler | April 28, 2010 | Comments Off on I’ve killed everyone, I’m away forever, but I’m feeling better

I remember the first time I saw System of a Down at the Ozzfest in Houston, TX. Hadn’t heard of them before that, and I was a big fan after the show. Turns out I’d never seen this version of the video for the song Sugar until now. The part at the beginning with the…

By Aaron Spuler | April 27, 2010 | Comments Off on 2 Bore Rifle

History of the 2-bore rifle is somewhat enigmatic. Certainly there were a number of large bore-caliber punt guns produced in the mid nineteenth century for use in waterfowling. There is even record of adaptation of quasi two bore rifles for hunting elephant and other large game in 19th century Africa. These rifles were mostly smoothbore…

Never Forget

By Aaron Spuler | April 27, 2010 | Comments Off on Never Forget

Let the American youth never forget, that they possess a noble inheritance, bought by the toils, and sufferings, and blood of their ancestors; and capacity, if wisely improved, and faithfully guarded, of transmitting to their latest posterity all the substantial blessings of life, the peaceful enjoyment of liberty, property, religion, and independence. Joseph Story Commentaries…
