Cool Cliff Swallows (Of The Big Papio And Beyond)

You can’t miss them. You really can’t. Around bridges over rivers or creeks this time of year, they immediately snatch your attention. Maybe it’s their sheer numbers (hundreds, if not thousands of them) and their extreme aerial acrobatics that catch your eye. Or, maybe it’s them coming in and out of their clusters of gourd-like mud nests clinging to the walls beneath …

#WhitetailWednesday: 7 Bucks That Pre-Date High Fences and Genetic Engineering

Facebook/Facebook

Not every monster buck is automatically a product of deer farms and high fences. With the ever-increasing popularity of the captive deer breeding industry is an unfortunate side effect. And that is the assumption that just about every larger-than-normal buck isn’t a product of nature, but of man. However, that isn’t always the case. Nature can

Kontaveit won her first WTA title at ‘s-Hertogenbosch (2017) while working with Schaap and reached a total of three WTA finals. Kontaveit rose to her current perch at 24 in the world, where she currently sits.

"Working with Glenn certainly helped me achieve a much better physical form. He taught me to use my serve arsenal better. While working with him I learned to know and trust my own game and techniques,“ commented Kontaveit in a statement.

Kontaveit has already begun working with Sears and he will join her at ‘s-Hertogenbosch next week.

61-year-old Sears has formerly coached Amanda Coetzer, Barbara Schett, Daniela Hantuchova, Maria Kirilenko, Ana Ivanovic and Ekaterina Makarova.

Kontaveit had a fantastic spring, reaching the semis at Stuttgart and Rome and making the second week at Roland Garros before falling to Sloane Stephens.

Schmidt: This is Deer Hunting’s Age of Opportunity

Never before in our history have we seen such liberal seasons, bag limits and methods in which to go afield in search of whitetails. Some might argue the merits of certain seasons and tools (I’ll never call them “weapons”), but this is not the time nor place for that discussion. As we approach summer and also our country’s birthday, I urge everyone to celebrate the freedoms, efficiencies and technologies at […]

The Gun is Important, but Don’t Forget the Holster!

EXCLUSIVE

Don’t Forget the Holster! - Outside the Waistband

I have been teaching pistol permit qualification classes for many years, and I am always amazed by the number of students who take these classes but don’t own a holster. The second thing I have noticed is that some of the students who have purchased holsters do not train regularly with them.

If your goal is to carry a gun, (notice I didn’t say weapon) for lawful self-defense, then you should be training regularly with the holster you intend to use. Just as a carpenter goes to work with his tools in a tool box, your holster is an essential part of your equipment to carry your gun.

Disappointed Zverev Takes Solace in Epic Run to Quarters

The German ran out of steam today but he's pleased with how far he came and what might come next.

Alexander Zverev is bitterly disappointed that he couldn’t do more in his first Grand Slam quarterfinal on Tuesday in Paris. But the 21-year-old German is also buoyed by the belief that he is now ready to step up on the game’s biggest stages. Zverev won three straight five-setters in Paris and reached his first career quarterfinal at a major, answering a lot of questions about his ability to back up his exceptional results at the Masters 1000 events.

More #RG18: Thiem Topples Zverev | Lucky Let Podcast | All-American SF Set | Keys to Victory

Unfortunately on Tuesday Zverev paid the price of doing all that hard work in his last three matches and came up lame in the first set against Dominic Thiem. He suffered throughout the straight-sets defeat but was not at 100 percent and thus susceptible to the grinding game of Thiem over the course of the Austrian’s 6-4, 6-2, 6-1 win.

Did he think about pulling the plug after injuring his left hamstring early in the first set?

“I definitely thought about it,” Zverev told reporters, “but I didn’t want to pull out for the first time in my career in a Grand Slam quarterfinal.”

He added: “I knew I’m not going to win the match. There was no way for me. I could barely move. I couldn’t serve, I couldn’t really do anything. But I still wanted to finish the match and give the credit to Dominic—he deserves to be in the semifinals and [I wanted the match to] end on a loss and not on a retirement.”

Despite the loss, Zverev has taken a major step in his development, and he clearly took much solace from his three marathon wins earlier in the tournament.

"It showed I'm physically one of the strongest players," he said. "I can last very long. I can last five-set matches in a row, how I showed. Unfortunately an injury held me back.”

The next step is very much within reach, says Zverev, who at just 21 has only played 12 Grand Slams in his young career.

"This is a very positive week for me,” he said. “My first quarter. I lost to a great player. I was hurt a little bit. So who knows? Who knows what could have happened?"
