We hope the Ol' Hillbilly Newsletters will continue to be a monthly feature here at the ranch. I'll be writin' about various shootin', huntin' and reloadin' products in these pages. They will be products I have bought for my own use, and there aint nobody payin' me to say anything, good or bad, about this stuff. (They aint sendin' me on any of them "all expenses paid" guided hunts either, Dang it!)

Since my new Domain has a lot more web space than my allotment on my ISP's site, I have gone back and posted all my newsletters since I began doing this with Volume One in July 2002. As always, if you have questions, comments, or want more information about any of these topics, send me an email and I'll try and help out. (jim@oldmissourihillbilly.com)

I hope that what you read here is potentially of use to the "average Joe, (or Josephine)" Meaning, you don't have to have an unlimited bank account and/or be a world traveler to participate in the great sports of shootin', huntin', and reloadin'. Heck, if you keep an open mind, some of this stuff might even be entertainin'!

I also hope you will forgive an Ol' Hillbilly's side trips into some family stuff, especially for including some of the antics of our Granddaughter, Jennifer.
