Busting the Big Myth About Shotgun Chokes
How can Jerry Sinkovec get solid breaks on clay targets with a 28-gauge shotgun out to 60 yards? A lot of it has to do with altitude, air temperature and humidity.

Rock climbing is job training for window cleaning. I’ve long considered cleaning skyscrapers or building windmills to be a good fallback job.
