As preachy as it sounds, this is something I do agree with Mick on, and stress when teaching people about guns: the word “unloaded” is profanity. Guns exist in two states: Loaded, or disabled. I’ve never gone so far as […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

This reaction is effectively what a friend of mine had, after the first (and only) time I had her try a 20 gauge. Some people can handle the recoil – some cannot. Find the weapon that works right for you. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Shotgun time

by jlgrant on October 9, 2012 at 1:00 am

When I teach newbies to shoot, I normally start with pistols and rifles. This teaches them that no, pistol and rifle recoil is manageable, even for bigger calibers. It’ll kick a bit, but it’s not like the crap you see […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Dat Recoil

Oct05
by jlgrant on October 5, 2012 at 1:00 am

It’s true. It’s very, very true. Ten thousand Youtube videos back me up on this one, in slow motion. Remember: It’s only sexist if you say it out loud. Just in time for Xmas, Liz Dean launches Seams Geeky! Check […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Teacupping

Oct04
by jlgrant on October 4, 2012 at 1:00 am

Every time I take a new shooter out, I have to correct them on at least one bad habit they’ve picked up from movies and TV. This one is the most common, followed by keeping their finger on the trigger. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Chick Lean

Oct03
by jlgrant on October 3, 2012 at 1:00 am

Yes, it’s a real term. Yes, it’s sexist. Yes, in my experience, it’s correct – women, especially ones with large chests, tend to lean back farther than men. This is not to say that men do not do the same. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Mags vs. Clips

Oct02
by jlgrant on October 2, 2012 at 1:00 am

If there’s one word that can set off certain shooters like a spanked, angry monkey, it’s saying “clip” when you mean “magazine.” Not all shooters, by far, mind you, but certain ones I’ve met absolutely lose their shit over it. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Trigger finger

Oct01
by jlgrant on October 1, 2012 at 1:01 am

I wonder how many people get the joke in the first panel. As I explained to more than a few people: This comic is not just for shooters. Sometimes, I’m gonna get instructional. I’ll try to keep the instruction fresh […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Welcome to the range

Sep28
by jlgrant on September 28, 2012 at 1:00 am

I’ll admit that I’ve done this more than once. I like powered cans when shooting indoors, but in a non-enclosed, outdoor range, I much prefer plugs for pistols and light rifles. Plugs AND cans for shotguns and heavy calibers. Old […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Protection

Sep26
by jlgrant on September 26, 2012 at 1:00 am

This strip and the next made me realize that I’d goofed. Originally, the name of the shop (in the very first comic, even) was “Cheap AS Your Mom”. Somewhere along the line, as I drew more and more strips, it […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
