    T/C Hawken

    I was one of those youngsters ten years back. All I cared about being in the Navy Sea Cadets was rate of fire, penetration, and quick sighting. My uncle took me to the range in Chino, Ca. He set us up and told me "now, I'm going to teach you right." I figured what could my uncle know over a...

    Walker colts

    I'm a "frontiersman" category shooter in SASS. And for style points I shoot the big and heavy, one Walker and one 2nd generation Dragoon. Personally, I love them both, but the action is much more precise on the Dragoon, it's just more advanced. Colt took what he learned from the Walker and...
