Shooting a Mapleseed
I recently had the chance to attend 2 full Mapleseed events and wanted to write a bit about what I saw. Compared to some of the other shooting clinics or courses I’ve been to, Mapleseed was: Inexpensive. For a full day of training, it was a fraction of what I’ve paid for other shooting courses.…

Importing a Toyota Vanguard
Time for another off-topic post! I’m writing this because there’s not a lot of good information on this vehicle. I needed a vehicle to replace my well loved but aging and rusting, 2003 Dodge Caravan. Why import a right hand drive JDM to Canada? Because the used car market is pants-on-head retarded right now and…

Cabela’s Covenant 4 Scope Review
The Cabela’s Covenant 4 (sometimes called a Covenant Tactical) is an inexpensive white labelled scope sold by Cabela’s. I have both a 4-16×44 FFP and a 4-16×44 SFP. I’ve also reviewed the Covenant 7 and Cabela’s Intensity LR scopes. The second focal plane model is just a bit more compact in length. Covenant 4 Scope…

Savage Model 334 Review
The Savage Model 334 is a Turkish-made, bolt action hunting rifle. In fact, it’s a rebadged ATA Turkua. It’s priced basically the same as their Savage Axis but is it any good?
