Article By: Leo H. Let me introduce you to the GALEFI-Q Target (of which GALEFI is paid 0.0% of sales). The National Rifle Association (NRA) debuted the B-27 target in 1962 to replace the older B-21.

Article by: William G. Many people seem to talk about having carry rotations. That is not new.

I use State of the Art Technology
Article by: William G. Fads and trends come and go. Some are ahead of their time. Some are forgotten. Some endure. Some are forgotten until someone “invents them” for the hundredth time.

Chasing Rabbits
Written by: William G. Perhaps a hookah smoking caterpillar has given you a call. Go ask Alice. I think she’ll know what I am raving about tonight while I’m on this airplane.
