Published on Jan 9, 2013
It's very difficult to find a high quality purpose built axe or hatchet. Most of the axes you find in hardware stores are a poor substitute for the real thing. The question I" asked daily is "where can I buy a good quality axe". Here a a few Wranglerstar top recommended sources for quality tools. I'll cover axes by Gransfors Bruks, best made, Estwing, Stihl, Huskvarna, Fiskars, John Neeman, Council Tools, and Wetterlings Swedish made axes.

Build a great product for people who will grab it out of your hand

WOW! It's great to read statements like this!

From the Forbes report by J.J. Colao as he interviews Steve Blank who is an eight-time entrepreneur and The Four Steps to the Epiphany author for this Forbes story called: 
Silicon Valley Is The New Hollywood: Ignore The Hype And Keep Working










Excerpt from the story:
Even talented, hardworking CEOs and founders can get caught up in the hype. Why? Blank lists seven reasons:


  1. Ego
  2. Ego
  3. Ego
  4. Vanity metrics
  5. Attract talent
  6. Get funding
  7. Drive customer demand
If CEOs get caught up in doing press for reasons other than the last three, he says, their companies are doomed. The only mantra that startups need: “Build a great product for people who will grab it out of your hand.”

WALTHER SSP .22cal MATCH PISTOL by Champ Choice

















After reading about the Match Pistol events and seeing the images, I was curious as to what is so different and or special about these firearms, so I did some looking and came across Champ Choice.

Give this a read if you are interested in something truly special but make sure you move your drink away from the computer as you are about to spill it:

Army and Navy Pushed Aside as The Citadel Wins Standard Pistol Title


















Tired of seeing the Army and Navy’s rivalry play out during the NRA Intercollegiate Pistol Championships at Ft. Benning, shooters from The Citadel decided it was time to take matters into their own hands.

Standard Pistol (also known as sport pistol) is a .22 LR (Long Rifle) handgun with a minimum capacity of five rounds. Additional requirements including the use of open sights as well as a restrictions on grip design.


Standard Pistol’s individual champion did not come from any of these schools, though. That honor went to Joe Totts of Ohio State University.

By the International Shooting Sport Federation's rules, sport pistols must be in caliber .22 LR, with a minimum capacity of five rounds. Revolvers are allowed, but not at all as popular as in 25 metre center-fire pistol. Minimum trigger weight is 1,000 grams (2.2 lb), and maximum overall weight is 1,400 grams (3.1 lb). The gun may only have open sights, and there are restrictions to the design of the grip.
Common examples of sport pistols are the Benelli MP90S and Benelli MP95EWalther GSP, the Baikal MCMHämmerli 208Hämmerli 280 and Hämmerli SP20, the Pardini SP, as well as the High Standard .22 Pistol and the Smith & Wesson Model 41. Many of these have also spawned .32-caliber versions for use in the center-fire pistol event. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_pistol
















The Walther GSPGebrauchs Sport Pistole (Sport Pistol for Standard Use), is a single-action, precision target shooting pistol made in Germany byWalther Sportwaffen. It has the same technical base as the Walther OSP and thus is almost identical in outward appearance, albeit slightly longer and heavier than the OSP.
The GSP was introduced on the world market in 1968 and was chambered for .22 Long Rifle. At the end of 1971, Walther began offering the pistol in.32 S&W Long Wadcutter as well. Regardless of its original caliber, conversion units for the other caliber are available and easily interchangeable. The anatomical, adjustable walnut grips were also available, on order from Walther, for left-handed shooters. In 1988, Walther introduced a fully adjustable (for pull, stop, and angle) two-stage trigger that athletes could retrofit their pistols with.

The Amazing Paqlite





What is it?
The UVPaqlite (U-V- Pack- Light) is designed to be a night light in a dark environment like a bedroom, bathroom, tent, or shelter ALL night long. Intentionally packaged in an industrial vacuum sealed bag the UVPaqlite is: light weight, easy to carry, waterproof, and ready to take anywhere. The crystals inside the bag make the UVPaqlite glow and it's also what makes the light reusable. After being exposed to any other type of light: sunlight, LED lights, Flashlights, blacklights, etc. the UVPaqlites will glow as a night light all night long. And you can keep recharging them again and again forever. The amount of illumination is determined by the amount of glow crystals & surface area.
