This is the personal blog of Walt White. I am a Drafter/Designer living in Berks County, PA. I have a fondness for Cigars, Photography, and Firearms. Take a look around and you may find something interesting regardless of how different your hobbies may be from my own.
Over the past couple of months I have been in the market for a pocket pistol. You see, I carry a Springfield XD Sub Compact regularly but there are times when it is just a little to big and bulky. For those times, I needed something small that could be discretely slipped into a pocket. [...]
A few weeks ago I wrote a post suggesting five Gun Podcasts for gun hobbyists to enjoy. In that post I made mention that many of those shows were a part of the Gun Rights Radio Network. Since discovering the network, the vast majority of my podcast listening has been centered around shows that are [...]
Earlier today I was going through Google Reader and clearing out old items that I starred for future reading/viewing. Among those items was a post from Shelley Rae, from Gun Nuts Media, featuring 10 year old Cori shooting USPSA. Even though I watched the video back in June, when Shelley posted it, I thought it [...]
All of my life I have been the type of guy that never saw the need to purchase an expensive belt. I always opted for a sub twenty-dollar piece of leather from big box stores. I felt as though these belts served their purpose and were good enough to hold up my pants. This mindset [...]
Here we are on another Wednesday, trailing a Tuesday evening Sporting Clays outing. As usual, I have a range report ready for you, but this time there is a bit of a twist involved. First, lets talk about the actual shooting aspect of my evening. Unlike my third outing, where I did very well, this [...]
Over the past couple of weeks I have found myself reaching for my camera more often. It started off with me simply wanting better than cell phone photos of cigars to feature in Week in Smoke posts on Stogie Review. What wound up happening was that as I took photos of the cigars that I [...]
Last week I had the pleasure of shooting my first USPSA Match at Topton Fish & Game. Despite being tired, hungry, and sunburnt, I had a great time. I had such a good time that later that evening I decided to become a USPSA Member. Membership cost me $40.00 and I felt that it was [...]
I am proud to announce that this past weekend marked my very first USPSA match. I was finally able to make it out to a local club and give the sport a try. I can’t express how much fun I had and eagerly look forward to shooting in another match. I met some very nice [...]
Last night I was deep in the editing process of a Herf’n Heads video that Mike and I recorded last week for Stogie Review. Somewhere between realizing that over half of the video had to be split into pieces and the audio increased/decreased and when I finally gave up on it for the evening, I [...]
Yesterday, the temperature in Berks County climbed steadily into the mid 90s. With humidity becoming oppressive, I did not want to step outside to let my dog out into the yard, let alone stand in it and swing a shotgun about. I seriously considered passing on Sporting Clays this week. That was, until some light [...]
On Saturday I pulled myself out of bed, bright and early, and decided to spend a little time over at the range. With my atrocious shooting the week before, I was eager to climb back up on that horse and give it another try. Along for the ride was my Smith & Wesson M&P and [...]
Over the last couple of months I have been hitting the Gun Hobby pretty hard. Along with increased shooting and reading, I have been listening to a variety of podcasts on the subject. It all started with a podcast that I was listening to last year, Down Range Radio with Michael Bane. I’m a fan [...]
On Monday I morning I woke up feeling run down. In an effort to shake off the lousy feeling, I wanted to get up and moving. I started by hopping into the shower then making myself a piping hot cup of coffee. As I sipped my coffee and puffed on a cigar, I thought it [...]
Since the weather turned nice and I’ve been doing more shooting, I often find myself traveling to the range on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Because of the way my local range is set up, I like to shoot when the likelihood of others being there is slim. It isn’t that I don’t like interacting [...]
Being a new parent, one of my concerns is that at some point in time my daughter will find herself unsupervised and in the presence of guns. You may be thinking to yourself, if you lock up your guns you’ll never have to worry about that scenario. In a perfect world, locking my guns up [...]
