Hoggin’ – Larry’s Blog
Time to Hog Hunt Larry Weishuhn It’s that time of the year! Pesky mosquitos buzzed around my ears. I pulled a Thermacell from my pack and started it. I did not want to be distracted by or swatting at the aggravating little vampires. I settled back against the big oak tree’s trunk, readjusted my […]

Larry’s Blog: A Case for Short Barrels
A Case for Short Barrels Larry Weishuhn “A case for short barrels? Hmmm! Are you asking about a cartridge to be used in shorter barrels, or, are you talking about guns with shorter barrels?” Before I could follow up, the questioner started laughing. “Had not really thought about it that way, but now that […]

Larry’s Blog: Got an Attitude?
