I hope all of you are getting some time in at the range or in the field. I know the guys in the manufacturing area are going out tomorrow to do some prototype testing on some new items. The days are longer and it’s becoming easier to get some shooting done after work.

If you can’t get to the range as much as you would like, continue to do some dry firing in your various shooting positions. Regardless whether you hunt, compete, or just plink, this is good time on the gun for figuring out holds, positions, equipment adjustments, and trigger control. We have always used the A-Zoom Snap Caps for dry firing practice to protect our firing pins. They cover most of the commonly chambered cartridges but someone is always asking for something special. We recently added a new supplier, Harbour Arms, to fill part of this gap. They are making aluminum snap caps for us in some of the 6mm and 6.5mm target cartridges. We are glad to have these guys as part of our team!

We had a wonderful time at the NRA Show in Phoenix during May and appreciated the hospitality of the local folks. It was great seeing our existing customers as well as getting the chance to meet with some new customers.

The next major event for us is the beginning of the NRA National Matches at Port Clinton, Ohio (Camp Perry). We open our store on July 13 and are there through August 15 (seven days a week). Another great summer of getting to see our customers and do some shooting on the shores of Lake Erie.

We continue to add new products to our inventory so make sure you check out our new website (sinclairintl.com) and see what’s new!

Good Shooting,
