August 12, 2025 Ty Stockton Comments Off on I have a love/hate relationship with trap shooting

There was a time when I could hit 25 out of 25 clays in a round of trap. But that was when I was shooting every week, and sometimes several times a week. Round after […]

August 7, 2025 Ty Stockton Comments Off on My son shoots rings around me with any firearm

April 29, 2025 Ty Stockton Comments Off on Shotgun shells are just getting more expensive

Christmas shotguns are great, but do it right

December 12, 2024 Ty Stockton Comments Off on Christmas shotguns are great, but do it right

This being Wyoming, there are undoubtedly going to be quite a few firearms tucked under Christmas trees across the state. I’d be lying if I told you I wasn’t wishing for one, but between my […]

I’m getting better at trap, but I couldn’t get worse

July 31, 2024 Ty Stockton Comments Off on I’m getting better at trap, but I couldn’t get worse

July 30, 2024 Ty Stockton Comments Off on I’m almost ready for the upland bird season
