I have enjoyed running this blog and getting to know the gun blogger community. Thanks for all your encouragement.

And thanks to all the readers who took time to participate in discussions and let me know about interesting content to post.

A special thanks to Michigan Slugger for contributing the excellent article Accurate Slug Shooting Made Easy and my brother who frequently helps me with the blog (often correcting my awful spelling that my blog client fails to pick up on).
