News – recaps of changes to the site from week to week, plus links to product announcements for companies on my site, plus recaps of ELR content at SHOT Shows from 2012 thru 2020 (excluding 2014, when I was in the hospital).

Conclusion:

I think you’ll find the site to be an excellent start at exactly what it is intended to be, a resource for the ELR shooting community.

Finally, I would most sincerely appreciate feedback on what I’ve missed, what I’ve gotten wrong, and how the site can be improved to serve you. It’s a non-commercial site. It will get better, faster, with your help.

Thank you and God Bless!
