Frigid February is prime time for reconnecting with hunting buddies in the great indoors as we hunters flock to all the great outdoor shows around the country. I had a blast at the Great American Outdoor Show in Harrisburg over the weekend—alongside thousands of fellow NRA members, hunters and shooters and their families—as I checked out as many of the 1,000-plus exhibitor booths as possible amid enjoying all the seminars and special events.  Of course, I had to take a photo with lil’ Joey, one of the cuter taxidermy mounts on display, and have to share this unique whitetail/coyote taxidermy photo.

Tonight I’m heading for the SCI Show in Las Vegas and am excited to blog from there this week!

Aptly named, these cartridges would survive well into the 20th century, ultimately being conquered by the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. But in certain situations, the .22 Long cartridge still makes good sense, and actually has a few specialized applications.
