    >5.11 Tactical Trainers and Ballistically Erotic Projectiles

    Steven K. Ledin, March 19, 2010

    My new 5.11 Tactical Trainers are superb. No break-in required. In Modesto, California last year at the 5.11 Dealer Symposium the Tactical Trainers were introduced. Turns out that at that time I was wearing a similar style of boot from an outdoor outfitter I like. I wore them on a safari in 2008 and got monkey blood on them that I never could get out. I was referred to as “Mr. Monkey Blood” by the folks from 5.11 Tactical. I have replaced those worn out things with the new 5.11 Tactical Trainers, and I won’t look back. They

    >Guns and Ammo and Cookies and Milk

    Steven K. Ledin, March 14, 2010

    Sometimes I get pretty saturated in my job, same as the cookies I soaked in milk during a midnight snack. This week was another busy one. I bring it home with me, too, but that’s okay. I would just do the same stuff anyway. After a long day of professional puttering with gun stuff and guns, I still read Gun Magazines for fun. It’s not all work.
    Mounted a Bushnell Sportsman 3-9 with AO on a Remington model 5 bolt action .22 rimfire. Serbian manufacture. Some sharp places on the bolt, but it functioned without a hitch. Feeding from

    >Adventures at SHOT

    Steven K. Ledin, February 11, 2010

    The annual SHOT (Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade) show was in Vegas this year. Lots of miles covered carrying lots of paraphernalia. Nikon had the coolest introduction of all with their “Spot On” ballistic program. More on this outstanding data program soon. Nikon also introduced the M223 scope with a BDC turret set for 55 grainers. Leupold has some great new products such as new tactical scopes and mounts, a new mini red dot, a rangefinder that is bow mounted and automatically activated, and most of all, the reintroduction of the Redfield riflescope line that will be the most heavily talked

    >SHOT Show 2010!

    Steven K. Ledin, January 15, 2010

    The Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade (SHOT) show is in Vegas again this year. Leaving Monday. This is my Superbowl, this is some of what I get paid for. Pressing the flesh, establishing new contacts, and putting faces to names. Some politics. I don’t know how many SHOTs I’ve been to over the last couple of decades, but an awful lot. It’s still kinda fun, but certainly exhausting and tons of work.

    A full dozen OP employees will be there this year, the most ever. Buyers, merchandising, executives, and gun monkeys like me.

    We’ll do our best for the company and …
