First Ever Review: Ithaca’s Model 37 Pump With Ladies Stock

Irwin Greenstein — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 18:09:06 +0000

Hollywood has gone to great lengths to make the pump totally macho. One shuck from the good guy, and the bad boys run for cover. Well, what happens when the pump gun goes female? That’s we wanted to find out with the first review of the Ithaca Model 37 With Ladies Stock. Ithaca went to great pains to find out the best dimensions for this type of bird gun and then cut some walnut to fit. In our Peer Review, some experienced women shooters tell you what they think of the two versions we shot. Even our Publisher, Irwin Greenstein, felt comfortable enough in his masculinity to shoot them. Check out our story by clicking on http://www.shotgunlife.com/.

Irwin Greenstein — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 18:08:55 +0000

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. You’d never think that the environment (other than wind) could affect your choice of choke, but Jerry, who lives at 4,700 feet, shows you how sensitive shot can be to the elements we take for granted – and how your choice of a choke can be determined by facets other than distance.

Can Ralph Brendle Save His River Bend Sportsman’s Resort From the Chinese?

Irwin Greenstein — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 16:55:24 +0000

Ralph Brendle’s South Carolina hunting resort has declined with China’s rise as a textile kingpin in the U.S. South Carolina has shed textile jobs since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001. Can River Bend now succeed as a private club? The bigger question is whether or not Mr. Brendle’s decision to privatize River Bend signals a heartbreaking trend for many shooters as U.S. unemployment stalls at 10%.
