Frontier Quick Draw Electronic Target Shooting Set
$29.99
The product is as advertised, but even better than shown in the photo. The "log" comes with spots for four cans and bottles to be placed and with two bottles and two cans. From the photo, I thought it would only be two. Aim is almost "true", but not quite. Need to aim low to hit the marks. Gun is fairly realistic looking and large, and made of plastic. Makes shooting and ricochet noise when trigger is pulled. Lots of fun. Big hit with 4 (and 41) year old boy(s).

Surgical Speed Shooting: How To Achieve High-Speed Marksmanship In A Gunfight
$15.00


This is the third book I've read recently, but the first by this author. I was really impressed by his attention to detail in the fundamentals of grip, stance, balance and trigger control (special focus on taking up the slack). His arguments for using the isosceles caused me to change my stance. Overall, this additiion to my library resulted in faster shooting,improved accuracy and a better feel to calling the shot. I thought Andy Stanford communicated his thoughts and suggestions in an exceptional manner.

I live in a pro basketbal town so thought I would enjoy this book but I read part of it only just couldn't finish. My thirty-something year old son saw it and took it home to read. This is his review:

I thought the book was ok at best, I am a basketball fan but not necessarily a Lebron fan. I think his young fan's (14-20 yrs old) would enjoy this book and use it to inspire their own sports goals. I had high hopes for this book when I first started reading about his and his friend's early years and the different backgrounds they came from. I also like his honesty about the love he has for the people that helped raise him when his mother struggled to do so herself, especially Coach Dru. At times it became a little far fetched with his take on the dreams of middle school basketball players inspiring to be the best. I thought Lebron was overstating his and his friends maturity at a young age while at the same time using youth as an excuse for mistakes or character flaws. The book went quickly but with not much substance other than highlights of ball games and kids being kids. Towards the end of the book it became more about Lebron defending himself using some bad judgment and letting the reader know who the people were that were against him succeeding. Quick read but not inspirational like a sports story should be.

Remington T-72 Shooting Glasses (Amber Lens)
$11.45
I bought these to do outside chores on cloudy days for eye protection against dust and rays....w/o being left in the dark by super dark lenses. They work very well for this purpose. My family members kept taking mine for their "needs"..so I ended up getting a ton more to ensure there is always some "handy" for anyone to grab.
