Dennis Koch bought a Bore Snake at a gun show for his Ruger 10/22. The .22 Bore Snake sells for around $15.00 – $17.00. The first time that he used his Bore Snake it made his Ruger’s barrel look brand new. They are also available at Academy, Wal-Mart, and Cabela’s. Product information includes:

• Simply a better way to clean handguns, rifles, and shotguns.
• Brushes and swabs the bore in one quick pass.
• Has built-in bore brushes.
• No assembly required.
• Lightweight and compact.
• Solvent compatible.
• Washable and reusable. No exposed metal to damage sensitive rifling or crown.

Raul Pena highly recommends TSS Ammunition and their BOSS Shotgun Shells.  They have superior penetration, stopping power, and range.  For more information see:

Randy Rowley recommends Cabela’s retail store in Buda.  When I walked into Cabela’s for the first time all we could say was “WOW!”  I knew that they had mounts but it’s really best described as part store and part museum.  Easily 1/5 of the store is a museum.  The store has over 500 mounts; the majority are full-sized.  The poses are very realistic.

Radians CEP001 Custom Molded Earplugs.  They deliver a 26 NRR.  They are available in red (CEP001-R), pink (CEP001-P), and tan (CEP001-T) – in that price order (but the differences in price is less than $2).  The different colored plugs do not provide and additional benefits.

I took the HUNTINGsmart! course on 9/29/21 because it was a requirement to hunt at Fort Hood, which does not honor state exemptions.  It costs $28.95, plus a state fee of $5.36 (total = $34.31).  For hunters under the age of 17, a field course is also required for certification.  It was an extremely thorough course that covered just about everything.  It included 15 modules and several pre-tests before the 50-question test.

The problems with your typical rubber boots are they don’t do a good job of keeping your feet warm and they take on a foot odor.  Muck has solved these problems with their breathable Airmesh linings (similar to the linings in running shoes).

They also feature stretch-fit topline bindings that fit snug to your calves to keep warmth in and cold out, added toe protection with a wrap-up toe bumper, kick rims for hands-free removal, additional Achilles reinforcement, 5mm CR flex-foam booties with four-way stretch nylon, and the outsole wraps the entire perimeter to provide maximum protection and stability.  They are lightweight, flexible, buoyant, and comfortable!  The comfort range is from -20° F to 75° F!

I got a pair of their Edgewater boots for $80.95 plus shipping.  From what I can tell the only difference between their Edgewater and Fieldblazer boots is the later has camo uppers (but no one will see them because they’ll be covered with your pants) and costs $20.00 more!  My Edgewater’s are now the only boots that I wear while deer and/or hog hunting in cold and cool weather.  Muck makes several other models, including Wetland and Wood versions.

These cover the entire lure.  They’re made of clear PVC and use velcro to close the covers.  They go for $19 for ten of them.

If you’re like me, you always take your camera with you when fishing and hunting from your boat, to capture God’s glorious sunrises and sunsets, pictures of friends with fish and ducks, videos of friends catching fish and incoming ducks, etc.  Often those pictures are much better than the same ones taken from land.  But I worry about dropping my expensive phone in the lake, bay, etc. due to slippery and cold hands.  Rogue Fishing.Co has solved that problem with their The Protector Phone Tether 3.0.

Some overseas missionary friends of Darrel Barnette who also love to shoot are currently stuck in the US due to Covid-19.  Together they came up with a target stand that Daryl designed that is now out on Amazon.  Eddy Chance helped them to prototype it. Read More→
