It was great getting to meet you and Debra! Sorry that I didn't have more time to chat at the Appleseed - kinda busy down on the other end of the line doing some teachin'

Too bad you guys didn't make the second day of the shoot, especially since Boston made a surprise visit.

Enjoying your blog, but I would be remiss if I didn't call you out on one thing... don't take it the wrong way as I know you're new to this stuff...

Devil's Tower and antelope and battle rifles! Yay!

ummm, "battle rifles"... no, at least not if you are referring to that Mini-14

Don't confuse a Ruger Mini-14 with a M14 (M1A). The former is considered a barely acceptable poodle-shootin' ranch rifle. The later a true battle rifle.
Many folks don't consider anything chambered in .223 or even 7.62x39 a true battle rifle as the ballistics just aren't capable of any kind of distance. Only rifles chambered in the likes of .308 (7.62x51), .30-06, .303, etc. would possibly be considered a battle rifle.
