Chad Love: Woolrich Chic
19By Chad Love
I seldom take fashion news seriously, not because my wardrobe originated in a buy-one-get-one-free bin, but rather my belief that high fashion is more about art than the actual wearing of clothes, and as such, why get worked up about it? Of course it looks ridiculous, is obscenely expensive, and serves absolutely no purpose other than to provoke a response. That's what art is supposed to do.
But sometimes you come across something so transcendentally inane it simply begs to be ridiculed.
From the story in Newsweek:
Introducing haute Americana, one of the most powerful—and paradoxical—forces in men's sportswear... in recent years a number of tastemakers, many foreign, have dedicated themselves to reviving iconic American clothing for a hip new audience...The result—on ample display in places like Brooklyn, N.Y., and Portland, Ore., where certain streets now resemble catwalks crowded with bookish lumberjacks—is a subset of prosperous peacocks paying a premium for garments originally meant for mining or fishing, then wearing them to tapas bars and contemporary art installations.
So now we have a sensitive, limpid-eyed guy shuffling down the sidewalk of a trendy shopping district on his way... [ Read Full Post ]

Bourjaily: Do You Feel Lucky, Watermelon?
By Philip Bourjaily
One of the small disappointments of SHOT 09 was that the line to shoot the Taurus Judge at the pre-show media shooting day was always too long and I never got a chance to try it. It’s entirely possible that the length of the line had something to do with this video, which they showed us on the bus ride out to the range:
The Judge chambers both .45 long Colt and 3-inch, .410 shotshells. There are five 00 pellets in a 3-inch .410 buck load. As you can see, that’s more than enough to turn a watermelon – or, I imagine, a real head – into a daiquiri.
Shotguns and watermelons are made for one another. I read once that in the original script for “Dirty Harry,” when Frank Sinatra was set to play the lead, Callahan favored a 12 gauge, not a .44 magnum. In one scene, he explained his preference for the shotgun by shooting a watermelon several times with a .38, only making holes, then blowing it to bits with a 12.
A local hunter ed instructor always brings a... [ Read Full Post ]

Bourjaily: You Saw It Here First
By Philip Bourjaily
It’s not often you get to see something brand new in the world of shotguns, but here’s a new one on me: it’s a delayed roller-action, fully ambidextrous 3 1/ 2 inch semi-auto. The gentleman with the stogie and the greenhead is inventor, Jeff Hajjar of SRM, maker of the Sure-Cycle spring kits and Terror Chokes. The gun in his hand is his own invention and the only one of its kind . . . so far. Actually, this is the hunting version of the SRM 1216 a tactical gun Hajjar showed at last year’s SHOT. This new gun is unnamed for now.
Yes, that is the cocking handle you see in the forearm. Don’t worry about your fingers -- it only moves when you use it to open the bolt manually. The handle reverses easily for left-handed shooters, and you can switch the gun from right to left-side eject, too. Remove one pin in the receiver, and the whole thing breaks open like an AR-15 for cleaning or for carrying safely around the clays course.
Hajjar says the delayed roller action is similar to that... [ Read Full Post ]

Discussion Topic: Shoot Better With Your iPhone?
By Dave Hurteau
From Fox News:
Is your iPhone or iPod Touch a bit too, well, artsy? Not rugged or manly enough for your taste?
Here's the solution: the Bulletflight ballistics calculator, which predicts the trajectory of bullets fired from high-powered sniper rifles by taking into account half a dozen variables including wind speed, distance, outside temperature and altitude.
After digesting all the information, Bulletflight tells you where exactly on the sniper scope you should position your target in order to hit it.
If this were available for sporting rifles, would you use it? [ Read Full Post ]

Petzal: SHOT Show Update
By David E. Petzal
The horror, the horror…
Anyway, before we get into guns, you all heard about the jet that took a swim in the Hudson River yesterday because a flock of birds flew into the engines. According to a friend of mine who works for the Federal wildlife control service, the person who got the bird-control stopped at New York City airports was Madam Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. Apparently Hillary heard they were killing birds and made a phone call. Now she is off to bring peace to the world. I will not hold my breath.
Much as it pains me, I’m able to report that there is no shortage of very good low- and medium-priced rifles out there for ’09.
First on the list is the Thompson/Center Icon Venture model, which dispenses with the high metal finish and pretty walnut stock of the original Icon and replaces them with matt bluing and a very nice black synthetic stock. The caliber selection is the same, but the price is a lot lower at $499, and T/C still guarantees a minute of angle.
Mossberg’s 4x4 line of bolt-actions includes 104 different configurations, and some of the stock designs are truly radical. Calibers range from .25/06 to .338,... [ Read Full Post ]

How to Make Stone Blades for Wilderness Survival
By Paul Scheiter
To me, the inspiration to practice wilderness survival skills is based in an ideology of minimalism. The less gear you bring, the more intimate an experience you will have with the outdoors. Going with less also means that you can't rely on your gear as a safety net of comfort, rather you must be creative and find new solutions in order to succeed.

Defend Yourself Against Large Predators By Making A Spear From Your Knife
By Paul Scheiter
When I craft a spear there is a part of me that can’t help but feel connected to the “inner caveman” that lurks somewhere deep in each of us. Knowing that this ancient weapon has kept humans alive on the earth for thousands of years gives me a unique respect for its place in our history. But the spear isn't just a relic of the past. I believe it remains an important tool for the modern woodsman, but probably not for the reasons many would think. [ Read Full Post ]
