Veterans Day 2011 In Geneseo, Illinois
Every year, Veterans Day is much the same in Geneseo: the volunteers gather before dawn to unfurl and set up hundreds of flags in the city park. Each flag honors a veteran from this tiny town. The number of flags grows every year. How can there be so many in such a small place?
Hunting In The Cold
The one trait about hunting season I normally dislike is, the cold. Being up in the tree stand, or sitting down below on the cold ground, just isn’t my idea of fun. Having to wear a bulky gear that is restrictive just isn’t an option. I was excited when I learned that Columbia released a [...]

Freedom Group Acquires Para USA

It seems that Freedom Arms is buying as many gun manufactures as possible these days. It’s becoming to find a company that has anything worthwhile to offer the public not being courted by Freedom Arms, Inc. In their most recent acquisition the have purchased Para USA, based in Pineville, North Carolina. Para has become one of the industry’s finest 1911 manufacture. Para was started in 1985, and became extremel popular with their double stack frame, and their trademarked light double action trigger systems.

It should be interesting to see how Freedom Arms uses the new company in their collection of large and noteworthy companies.

Groupon Anti-Gun?

Groupon has gained worldwide attention for being able to offer local deals for about 50% of the normal price. This seems like a great opportunity for a local business to make some quick cash, but there have been many reporting that it has caused the businesses to actually lose money to the “Groupon Affect”. Some even claim it being the reason for the business had to close its doors. Although that alone should cause concern when supporting such a site, here comes the next strike against them. They are simply anti-firearm. They refuse to do any business with the National Rifle Association, or any firearm business. You could suppose this is to not cause any ruffling of feathers, but I believe it has causing a ground movement to be against Groupon.

Here are a few alternatives to Pro-Firearm deal sites that stand behind the 2^nd Amendment, and more importantly morals while doing business.

GearHog – They offer a daily deal usually at 50% of the normal cost, and every Sunday has a giveaway that is free to enter. Highly recommended.

SlickGuns – A culmination of the entire great firearm deals on the Internet. If you are looking for a firearm, I suggest searching here first.

Preparing Your ATV for Hunting Season

Recently I was introduced to ATV riding for recreational use. It was quite a bit of fun, and exhilarating. I was lucky enough to be introduced to ATV riding at a park close to the Air Force base in Goldsboro, NC. The trails were amazing, the on-site mechanic, helped my buddy fix a small problem before riding and we were set. I had never really gone off-roading unless you count going 4x4ing in the sands at the beach going off road. After seeing the ATV I was riding go through mud pits, climb giant dunes, and just cruise along on the paths, I saw great potential taking an ATV hunting in the middle of great farm land I plan to hit up in a few weeks. Before I just run off with the ATV I had purchased, there are a few tweaks I need to do, just for the hunting part of things.

Springfield Armory Releases XD(M) Compact .45

Springfield Armory added a new addition to the XD(M) family. Can’t wait to try to get one on the range soon.

It’s finally here!
Requests have been pouring in, and now the XD(M)® 3.8 Compact is available in .45ACP.
Since we introduced the XD(M)® Compact in 9mm and .40, our Customer Service department has been swamped with requests for a .45 version. So, we’ve been frantically developing an amazing product that combines concealability and high capacity, with a big bullet, that, like all XD® and XD(M)® models
focuses on Point & Shoot Ergonomics™.
The genius of the XD(M)® Compact design is that it doubles as a full-size frame model with the use of the XD(M) Gear® Mag X-Tension™ (US Pat. 7191556) that offers a full-capacity back-up magazine. It’s also a great range option for people that don’t want to have to buy both a CCW, and a range pistol.
For more information about the XD(M)® Compact .45ACP, along with all XD(M)® models, please visit www.The-M-Factor.com
Sincerely,
Springfield Armory®

Venison Chili

With Fall in full swing, and winter just around the corner, I thought a great chili recipe would be just the thing to warm everyone up on those rather cool nights. This would be great if at the hunting lodge with the guys or a simple meal served with cornbread.

This is also a great way to use some of the ground Venison from last years hunt. You can use beef as a replacement, but skimming of grease would be required depending on the fat (more…)
