Cites Reed Exhibitions' Decision to Ban Modern Sporting Rifles

Fairfax, Virginia - The Eastern Sports & Outdoor Show is one of the largest outdoor and hunting shows on the East Coast. Attracting patrons from as far south as Virginia and as far north as New York, their numbers promise to smaller this year due to their decision to ban a number of firearm related vendors.

Typically, the National Rifle Association has three booths at the Eastern Show. One for Membership, one for Hunter Services and one for NRAblog. This year we will have zero.

Hunting & Outdoor Icon Michael Waddel booked for NRA Show

Fairfax, Virginia - The fourth annual NRA Great American Hunting & Outdoor Show takes place next January at the Frederick Fair Grounds in Maryland. There you will see a few hundred exhibitors, tons of hunt/outdoor gear, and thanks to the hard work of the staff, the Outdoor Channel's Bone Collector Michael Waddell.

"We're talking about one heck of an expert there my friend," said show manager Bob Davis.

Debuting in 2009 on the Outdoor Channel, Bone Collector hit the air with a mission to document the culture of the hunter, the brotherhood of sportsmen and effort to show "the warts and all" in their adventures across the globe. They also managed to win last year's Fan Favorite Best Hunting Golden Moose Award at the SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Camera Crew captures staff and shooting legend Wigger in Virginia

Fairfax, Virginia - Do you ever watch NRANews?

Maybe you only listen to them on SiriusXM Satellite Radio?

The only real difference between the two are the bumpers. So what's that?

Bumpers are the commercials that play between interviews. If you listen to the show on SiriusXM then you hear regular radio commercials. But if you watch Cam & Company on NRANews.com then you get the bumpers. Personally, I'm a bumpers guy. That's because the bumpers feature my people.

For this week's image rewind, we take a look at our very first NRA Great American Hunting and Outdoor Show (then in Westminster, Maryland – now in Frederick), the ladies from Women On Target® Hunts gave away a Turkey Hunt at the Knowlton’s Laguna Vista Ranch in Pearsall, Texas.

On this week in 2010, NRAHuntersRights.org spoke to the winner, Kate Desmond, about her first time taking a turkey in the field. Above is evidence of her success.

"It was my first hunt. Not of the season but of my life," Raquel said with a smile. "Yea, I'm a little bit spoiled."

An avid pistol target shooters, Raquel finally plunged into the hunting pond after some prodding by her Father and Uncle. In fact, it was her Uncle who served as wingman during this 2011 excursion on the family's Montgomery County Farm. Nothing like putting your money where your mouth is.

"It's kind of a funny story," Raquel explained. "It all started with a nap."

Earlier this month, I told you that I was going to try out my new set of Earinc/Insta-Mold custom fit ears. Since then I've used them twice and the difference is amazing. So I went back through my notes and put together at two part series on the man who made it possible ... Ken Dennis.

Frederick, Maryland - Three years ago, Ken Dennis was looking for a new set of ears. Not the ones he was born with – of course – but the pair one employs to protect their hearing when working heavy equipment or shooting firearms. That's when he found Earinc/Insta-Mold. Calling the company for more information, they invited him out to Colorado to learn about the system first hand.
