Otis HardCore Hunter Cleaning System rates high with Pocernich

Check out this review by Terri Lee Pocernich on Otis’s new HardCore Hunter Cleaning System. It not only performs well in the field, it also comes in a great bag that will fit neatly into a turkey vest.

What is mighty enough to clean away brass, comes in Mossy Oak® or Realtree® and is small enough to fit on your belt? The Otis HardCore Hunter Cleaning System!

The Otis system comes in a Mossy Oak® or Realtree® camouflage softpack bag that measure 3 ½” x 4″. It has a silent zipper and is ready to slip on your belt and take with you anywhere. Should you end up with debris in your shotgun or rifle, i.e. mud or snow, you can clean it out in the field! No more sticks down barrels or wondering if you got all the moisture out. The HardCore Hunter Cleaning System cleans all rifles, pistols, and shotguns from .17 calibers through 12/10 Gauge.

My 21-year-old son and I tried this one together. He is the expert gun cleaner in the family. We actually had fun and he gave it a “thumbs up” and I can’t wait to show it off to all my hunting buddies and buddettes.

We went to town on my husband’s .20 gauge shotgun. He will need it next week and it hasn’t been cleaned in a while. How might we know that? We found a cricket in the barrel. We followed the instructions, (OK, I read them but my son, Kale, is still a guy, lol!) and in no time flat had a clean shotgun! Unbelievable the amount of crud we removed! We did have to use a rod to get a small amount of brass out of the barrel because the flexible cable just wasn’t quite rigid enough to remove it. I do think, however, had the shotgun had been properly cared for all along, the flexible cable would have done the trick no problem. At last,  it is clean enough for me to use!

Giving back (live your mission statement)

Al and I worked this weekend cleaning a water tank for the conservation of elk herds and other animals in the Big Lake, Arizona area.  I don’t think I have ever been this dirty – but the day was rewarding, and fun. This will provide much-needed water retention areas for the animals. Read more

Tips on organizing to attend a large trade show as a buyer

Have you ever gone to a trade show where you saw all this neat stuff, and picked up a bag full of brochures and pamphlets on everything you saw–only to find, when you get back and start going through it, that you can’t remember who had what? Do you feel overwhelmed or lost that you can’t be sure who you spoke to, who you gave information to or, even worse, who you ordered from and how much money you spent? Read more

Kirstie gets a Canadian bear

Kudos to The WOMA veep Kirstie Pike for taking a bruin in British Columbia on Friday, June 5. Kirstie hunted with Linda Powell of Remington Firearms and stayed at Itcha Mountain Outfitters. She says she will definitely recommend this outfit for a future installment in the “Female Friendly Outfitters” category. And, she’ll write more about the hunt later, but for now … way to go, Kirstie. And, doesn’t she look proud of herself? Oh, and check out the Prois Hunting Apparel signature “P” on her shirt. Kirstie is president of Prois Hunting Apparel for women.

Trip back to English 101

It’s almost painful to think of revisiting that old hard desk in an English classroom in junior high, but sometimes, you just have to go back there in theory and in practice, really. As communicators, we should constantly be in check so that we communicate effectively, concisely and in a timely manner. The PRW Newsletter is like that spinster school teacher who made us conjugate verbs and learn new words for our vocabularies. You may either join for a fee, or take the free advice given monthly in a newswire. This month’s newsletter focuses on how to “Get a Grip on Grammar.” It answers questions such as “How do I use the abbreviations e.g. and i.e.?” and “When is a comma used before the conjunction ‘and’?”

Centered around writing good press releases, which most communicators have to do frequently or occasionally, this service not only educates in grammar, but also gives style tips for how to craft cutting-edge press releases.

Hey, we force our bodies through torturous sculpting classes and long sessions on treadmills, right? Sometimes, we also need to hone the gray matter a little more. So, go conjugate a verb today! And, then, take an extra long recess outside! See http://www.press-release-writing.com/
