I got my oldest son a lever-action .22 a few years ago, but until he grows a little bit more, I’ll be shooting it a lot more than he does. That’s not true of the new gun I got my boys. Listen to today’s show to find out why it took me a while to get [...]

An off-road station wagon? Believe it.
By Ty Stockton posted May 17, 2012 at 4:00AM
I drove a Volvo XC60 last week, and it surprised me in a number of ways. This station wagon on steroids was fantastic on the highway, but it was quite surprising on the forest roads, too. Listen to today’s show for a review of the XC60.

A gun’s got to fit if you want to hit
By Ty Stockton posted May 15, 2012 at 4:00AM
It took me far too long, but I finally figured out one of the reasons I can’t seem to get better at the trap range. There may be other problems, like a total lack of natural ability, but I can’t do much about that. I could do something about how my shotgun fit me, though, [...]

Can I get an Infiniti with off-road tires, please?
By Ty Stockton posted May 14, 2012 at 4:00AM
Put a four-inch lift on your Infiniti QX56, trade out the 20-inch rims for some 16s, slap some Cooper A/T3 tires on those rims, and you’ve got yourself one tricked-out luxury off-road vehicle. Of course, unless your last name is Trump or Walton, that’s probably outside the realm of possibility. The Infiniti QX56 isn’t built [...]

In the pictures, I’m the backpack with legs
By Ty Stockton posted May 11, 2012 at 4:00AM
Tomorrow’s my dad’s birthday, and in honor of his special day, I thought I’d poke a little fun at him. He got me interested in the outdoors at an early age. Sometimes, that was a bit of a problem — especially when we intended to spend an extended time deep in the wilderness, and I [...]

I’ll take my sushi cooked, thanks
By Ty Stockton posted May 10, 2012 at 4:00AM
A lot of people like sushi, but I guess I’m just not that adventurous. I’ve tried it, but I prefer my fish cooked, preferably over a campfire at 10,000 feet. On today’s show, I’ll tell you about my first experience with this bizarre culinary delicacy.

Another season of utter humiliation
By Ty Stockton posted May 9, 2012 at 4:00AM
I don’t know what came over me, but I agreed to shoot with my good friend Helen on her trap team again this season. I could have done something less humiliating, like dance naked on the busiest intersection in Casper to “I’m Sexy and I Know It.” Listen to today’s show to find out how I [...]

Thin air does strange things to outdoorspeople
By Ty Stockton posted May 8, 2012 at 4:00AM
My dad has settled down a bit in recent years, at least when it comes to bushwhacking where no trails have ever existed. I, on the other hand, have gotten more adventuresome. Listen to today’s show to find out how turning the tables has affected our outings together.

Jeep remembers what put it on the map
By Ty Stockton posted May 7, 2012 at 4:00AM
It’s nice to see a vehicle manufacturer still doing what made it good in the first place. Jeep is one of those companies, at least when it comes to the Wrangler line. Listen to today’s show to find out what I like about the old classic, two-door Jeep Wrangler, even when the one I drove was [...]

Don’t let your gun beat you up
By Ty Stockton posted May 6, 2012 at 4:00AM
My trap team captain is also a shooting instructor, and she saw me getting knocked around by my shotgun at the shooting range. She told me what she tells her students when she’s teaching them how to shoot: Never stay in an abusive relationship. That’s good advice for life, and it’s also true for shooting. [...]
