This episode comes just a couple of days after a very busy, and pleasant, Christmas week. Featured content and news were a little tough to come by so I used a pair of topics for each segment. I thought I was going to wind up short on time, which was fine by me this week, [...]
During Episode 20 of Shooting The Breeze, I talked about having difficulties with the magazines for my Smith & Wesson M&P. When most people thing about having issues with magazines, the first thing that comes to mind is a bad spring or perhaps a broken follower. My issue had nothing to do with the internals [...]
Can you believe that, together, we have reached twenty episodes? Twenty episodes may not seem like much but when you associate a week with each episode, it winds up being roughly five months of consecutive weekly podcasts. I can’t believe we’ve been at this gun podcasting thing for so long already. I say “we” because [...]
In what seems to be becoming the norm, I found myself with little free time this past week and wound up putting together my show notes for this episode at the last minute. In fact, it was so last minute that at the start of the podcast I had nothing to use for a discussion [...]
Going into this weeks episode of Shooting The Breeze, I was a little nervous. My usual single page of show notes somehow grew to three pages and I wasn’t sure if I would be able to make it all fit. Somehow, it all worked out and the podcast finished out at about one hour and [...]
This weeks Episode of Shooting The Breeze was both fun and hectic. As it has been the case for the last several weeks, I found myself sitting down to record the episode without a full set of show notes in front of me. Thanks to Joe from Twitter, I was given an idea for a [...]
Last weekend I shot what will most likely be my last USPSA match of the season. With winter setting in, many of the clubs in my area and closing up shop, in terms of outdoor action shooting, until Spring. In an effort to get as much shooting in as possible, before Winter break set in, [...]
In last weeks episode, in an effort to save a little time, I compacted the show a bit by only covering two pieces of news and two pieces of featured content. After watching the episode back, I found that I liked the way the show flowed with a little less content jammed into each segment. [...]
Today I shot was will most likely be my last regular USPSA match of the season. Last month I spoke with the match director at Topton and found out that they would be running a pistol match this month. Because Topton was the club where I shot my very first USPSA match, I wanted to [...]
This past Sunday I woke up bright and early to begin my USPSA Match Prep Ritual. First I made sure that my Smith & Wesson M&P was tucked comfortably in my range bag. Next I removed any unnecessary ammunition and made sure that I had plenty of 9mm on hand to complete the match. I [...]
This past weekend I got out and shot my second USPSA Match this month (4th Match Total). I wouldn’t be shooting matches so close together under normal circumstances, but we are on the cusp of the season ending in Pennsylvania. After this weekends match at Topton, I probably won’t be shooting very many USPSA matches [...]
A couple of weeks ago I received some feedback in the form of a comment on the Shooting The Breeze Podcast: Episode 14. At the time, the suggestion went over my head and I didn’t see the obvious. From: Pablopistolero Feedback- Walt, enjoy the show but don’t like the size of your files. Fills up [...]
This weeks episode of Shooting The Breeze is a little shorter then past episodes. I wound up having a rather busy week and my last minute recording was pushed to an even later time because I had to tend to my daughter (she is sick and wasn’t feeling very well). Once my daughter was down [...]
This past Saturday I had the pleasure of shooting my third USPSA Match at Lower Providence Rod and Gun Club (2nd time shooting at this club, third match overall). I had a great time and felt good about my shooting at the end of the day. I set a goal for myself that I wanted [...]
According to Murphy’s Law, anything that can go wrong will go wrong. That certainly was the case yesterday when I was driving home from work with plans to get right on to producing this episode. Even though things didn’t go according to plan, I was able to wrap up the podcast before it became too [...]
