>Nikon M-223 Scopes on CMMG Guns in Missouri
May 18, 2010
Monday mornings at OpticsPlanet aren’t the worst experiences in the world by far, and a lot of times are reasonably fun (for a job). Last Monday was better than most since it started with an early morning road trip with a few professional gun monkeys to Missouri. We stayed in a casino overnight, and I learned that we could only have one drink every half hour. What the heck is that about?
In the morning we left with a wagon train of vehicles bound to CMMG (Central Missouri Machine Gun) to abuse a bunch of their guns underneath various Nikon

>Fear and Loathing in Kansas with Turkeys and Bushnell
May 4, 2010
A friend of mine I’ll call Mark the Turkey Hunter was invited to Kansas with Bushnell to shoot turkeys in the face. A few items from OpticsPlanet went with him. For binoculars he used the Bushnell Chuck Adams Bowhunter edition.

5.11 Tactical Pants, Beer, and Qatari Diplomat Humor
April 16, 2010
Warning: Do not use the thigh pockets in 5.11 Tactical pants for holding beer cans while walking. They fit well, but the beer gets shaken up too much to open. Don’t ask me how I know. My dog thought it was funny and has a Pavlovian taste for beer like I do.
Did you hear about the Qatari jackass that joked about lighting his shoe on fire on an airplane? Funny, huh. Scrambling a couple of fighter jets and having taxpayers pay for it is funny, too. I have an idea. Since this ass has such a sense of humor,

>Rad’s Last Point and Binoculars 101
April 9, 2010
My Shirley and I were perusing the estate this week after work. Rad was doing laps and peeing on things when Shirley said, “LOOK!” The dog was locked up like a statue. He hadn’t pointed a bird since he was retired a few years ago. Locked up solid. A cock pheasant was strutting his stuff outside our fence and neither animal could see each other. My Shirley was beside herself. Although My Shirley has been in the bird fields with us a couple times, she never really saw Rad on point. It took 14 years for her to see such
