Okay, I have never had the slightest urge to own an over-under shotgun…

until now. This iteration of the Browning Cynergy is a thing of beauty.

OMG, with registration they know where you are!

Kind of an interesting map, actually. I’m sure Hollywood has a big share of California’s registrations, but still….

Sporting Rifle Match 2013 – Raton NM

Posted on May 17, 2013 by Dave RNS Photographer

Greetings from finally sunny Michigan.

When last I posted about the annual Great Western Pilgrimage to Idaho and beyond and down to Raton, NM, I was in the Estes Park, Colorado vicinity with 15 inches of freshly fallen snow and a 24 hour power outage that had just been restored.

Friday morning arrived and it was time to hit the road for Raton. The sun was out and though the temps weren’t quite high enough to melt a lot of the snow, it did subdue it a bit and the roads were fine. My cuz lives up a canyon accessible by a narrow dirt road and I took a snapshot on my way out.Headed southeast out of Estes Park over to I-25 and then on down to Raton. Arrived early afternoon and the weather was much more conducive to shooting than where I had been the previous 24 hours.

RNS Quote of the Day 5/17/13

Posted on May 17, 2013 by Scott

The liberal progressive mindset seems to be baked into the cake of government. That’s what leads to the scepticism and mistrust. The real question is How do we get it out?

Cheerful Cthulhu

Posted on May 17, 2013 by Alaska

I prefer my horror fiction dark and moody — it’s comforting and familiar that way, you see –Â but I’ve always had to admit that chirpy, done-in-bright-daylight horror is actually a lot creepier and disturbing.

If a Cthulhu cult really existed, don’t you think their ritual “Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Ftaghn!” chanting would be a really catchy, happy tune? Just in time for summer; sing along with the chorus, below!

It’s fun to lose your forebrain to the Master while frolicking on the beach! Etc., etc.

Topical Reading

I’d call this a misuse of a perfectly good Garand. There are better tools for that sort of job.

With all the “rogue” IRS agents in the news these days, it seems like a good time to point out that Bill Branon’s Let Us Prey is better (and better-written) than most of what you’ll find in the “let’s-give-the-Feds-what’s-coming-to-them” fiction genre.

Joel Simon’s underrated Walt’s Gulch is pretty good, too (not every day you see a back-cover quote about transporting a dismembered IRS agent in a pickup bed). And the sequel, Songs of Bad Men and Good, is, I think, a better novel while upping the body count — a lot.
