It was one of the most bewitching sights in the world to observe a hill of beans thrusting aside the soil, or a rose of early peas just peeping forth sufficiently to trace a line of delicate green.” – Nathaniel Hawthorne

New Abu Garcia Lineup Dazzles on Lake Champlain
Standing aboard Bassmaster Elite Alex Redwine’s tournament boat with the wind to my back, I had lost my sense of objectivity.

Springfield Armory Hellion, by Pat Cascio
I hate to admit it, but I came to the bullpup dance a little bit late. I’m a dyed-in-the-wool fan of the AR-style of rifles, as well as the M14 (M1A) rifles. Some folks like to say I’m older than dirt – well, not quite. When I joined the Illinois National Guard in June of 1969, I was originally issued a 19-pound BAR.
