I&#8217;m shooting a 3-Gun match this weekend and then rushing back home for my wife and I&#8217;s birthday party, so tonight was spent cramming magazines and making sure the competition guns and rig were all ready to go. I&#8217;ll be shooting the Mossberg M590A1 instead of my normal Remington 870. Probably won&#8217;t be much difference in my times, as long as I remember the tang mounted safety as opposed to the crossbolt.<\/p>\n<p>This is all in addition to my normal blogging\/writing duties at the day job and attempts to keep up with the other clients and my own work at home. Hopefully next week will slow down a bit, but I doubt it. I&#8217;ve got more hunting trips scheduled, articles to write and deadlines to meet. The life of a gun and outdoor writer may be fun, but it can be incredibly hectic this time of year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doggies need hearing protection too!
