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.
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 [...]
Last week I loaded up my fathers old Remington 870 Wingmaster and headed over to Oley Valley Fish and Game for my first attempt at shooting Sporting Clays. While I had loads of fun, I didn’t shoot very well. In the week between my first time out and my second trip, I watched a variety [...]
When it come to certain things, I’m as frugal as they come. Take targets for example. Rather than go to a big box store and pick up a pack of targets for a few dollars, I’ll print my own. I know that in the long run it is actually more cost effective to purchase rather [...]
In my previous video, One Step Closer to Action Shooting, I talked a little about joining Oley Valley Fish and Game. The night that I arrived to sign up, the club was open to the public for a weekly Sporting Clays event. The turnout was pretty good and everyone seemed to be having a good [...]
Today I climbed out of bed to the sound of birds chirping and the sun shining. With a busy afternoon ahead of me, I took the opportunity to head over to the range and get some trigger time in. I was eager to try a shot timer app that I downloaded for my Droid X [...]
With the warm weather upon us once again, and the ice and snow of winter a distant memory, I have found myself immersed in the gun hobby once again. Before winter struck and my guns were packed up for the season, I was highly interested in two shooting sports, clay shooting of some sort (either [...]
Lately I have been posting about guns and the feedback and discussion has been excellent. I wanted to continue with topic of guns and cover another of the tools I take to the range. I choose to discuss my wife’s first .22 after some lively discussion on Twitter about which .22 to buy. The pistol [...]
Earlier this week I posted a video of My First Pistol – Beretta Model 70S in .380. It was intended to be something of interest to breath a bit of life back into my blog. After all of the positive feedback I received in the comment section, as well as on Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube, [...]
With things around the house being busy, I’ve been finding it very difficult to find the time and material to keep my personal blog active. Hating the idea that it has been so slow, I started running through a list of topics that I could run expand on. The first thing that came to mind [...]
My brother, and his friend Ken, on the firing line I like to shoot guns. I find that the hobby helps relieve stress in a big way. I know that may sound odd, with the loud bang and hot lead screaming down a barrel, towards a target, but the stress just melts away with each [...]
Not terribly long ago I wrote up a post outlining the goals that I intended to keep for the year. One of those goals was to write a couple of blog posts per week, in an attempt to keep my personal blog fresh. If you read that post, you may be wondering what happened? What [...]
The moon hung high in the sky, casting light through stain glass windows in multi-colored streaks. Fat flakes of falling snow flickered through the moonlight, giving old plaster walls a sinister appearance. Wall sconces around the perimeter of the large room flickered and burned, leaving dingy trails of sut climbing towards the ceiling. A tall [...]
Several months back I found myself with a good deal of time to kill. My grand plan was to run an errand about an hour from home and visit a Boarders bookstore in the area for new reading material. I wasn’t terribly impressed by their Fantasy selection, but one book caught my eye, Best Served [...]
While on my afternoon break at the office Wednesday, I was scanning through my Google Reader feeds when I came across a blog post from New To Writing Girl. The post outlined some of her goals for the new year. After leaving a comment and reading the response, I thought it would be a good [...]
