I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the October/November issue of Muzzle Blasts Online. With hunting season in full swing , Fred Stutzenberger's A Note on Safety is a timely article. Make sure your firearm is safe BEFORE going into the field.

Also this month, experience the excitement of a first-time hunter and the fellowship between father and son on their last hunt. Others share their knowledge on sharpening a straight razor, making and using a bow drill, and setting up a turkey shoot. All in all, I think everyone should be able to find something to their taste in this issue.

If you enjoy Muzzle Blasts Online and are not currently an NMLRA member, I encourage you to join. These articles are just a sample of the ones we publish each and every month in our paper magazine. NMLRA members receive Muzzle Blasts as part of their membership benefit. If you are interested in becoming a member, an application is available on the NMLRA homepage.

Until next issue…
