This is not for the faint of heart, but for the hard of hearing: Douglas is about to enter a new world. The world of competition. Tomorrow morning at 4:00am Douglas will be thrown unceremoniously into the back of Les' "Look At Me" yellow Jeep, and upon arrival at the Rush Lake Range in Minnesota Douglas will begin spewing the first of 100 plus Berger 105 Hybrids at distant steel targets. Fast and Furious will not be the mantra of the day - more like Slow As You Go. Les will expend every effort t …

Last Friday I received a barrel from Douglas Barrels. I can't really say it was long awaited, because it didn't take that long for Douglas to "spin" this barrel up.

Using ThorroClean with a bronze brush, just twenty strokes brought his barrel down to clean steel. He was genuinely thrilled by how quickly and thoroughly it worked. That efficiency matters more than you'd think. Consider another story f …
