Hunting, Clay Shooting, and more at Primland Luxury Resort

I came across Primland last year when the husband and I were looking for a “local” weekend getaway. Unfortunately, the dates we were looking at didn’t have any availability. So when an opportunity came up to go this year I was so excited! I guess you can say it was meant to be.

Primland is a luxury resort in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. It’s about a five hour drive from DC and there are so many different routes you can take from DC/Maryland/Northern Virginia especially if you’re looking to stop along the way to check out some different scenery or historical sights.

SHOT Show 2020 Recap & Vlog

Every January I always look forward to heading to Vegas for SHOT Show. This my 4th year and this one was the busiest yet; definitely not complaining. I also was there for a shorter amount of time so I had to pack in my meetings. I thought last year I didn’t have much time to roam the floor or booths but this year I really didn’t. And honestly, there wasn’t anything major that I was hearing about that I had to make a point to go check out so I didn’t feel like I missed much.

SHOT Show 2019 Recap

It’s been a full week since returning from SHOT and I finally feel like I can take a moment to decompress. It was busy during SHOT, as always, and all good things.

Love At First Shot

For those that are on social media, you might have seen a little announcement back in May that I'll be joining season five of NRA TV's Love At First Shot. I'm super excited and a little bit nervous. When I was first presented with this great opportunity, I was all for it as Love at First Shot is a show I've watched many times before and they always have such great tips and information for women.

NRA Carry Guard Training

Last week I had the awesome opportunity to attend an NRA Carry Guard Training down in Dallas, TX with a great group of women. If you’re not familiar with the NRA Carry Guard training, it's a program designed to be the “gold standard in concealed carry training to prepare responsible citizens who legally carry to effectively confront today’s evolving conflict environment.”

SHOT Show 2018 Favorites

Another year, another SHOT Show in the books. This year was incredibly busy. I'm not complaining one bit but it didn't leave me or the husband much opportunity to check out all the new gear or much of the exhibits as we had in years past. In between meetings and recording the new podcast the days on the SHOT Show floor went quick.

Dynamis Alliance Women's Weekend Video

Back in November, I had an awesome opportunity to train with Dom Raso and his team at Dynamis Alliance. I recapped that weekend in a post that you can read here. It was hard to put that experience into words and that weekend along with its message of honor and crushing everything we do in our lives, still very much lives within me every day.
