    Mr Mellring was my English teacher, he was My hunter Ed. Instructor ( we actually got that as a club in school) he liked to hunt, and we would often read hunting stories aloud in class. The girls rolled their eyes but I was in heaven. I graduated in 1995. Too bad kids don't get that these days.

    You just hit it right there, we love to interact with the gun. Levers, bolts, pumps all cause joy when the action moves and does it’s thing with all those wonderful mechanical sounds. If drawing the hammer back on a single action revolver doesn’t blow up your skirt I don’t know what will.

    I got into the firearms world (other than my military career) later in life and I have to say these two gentlemen are my favorites to watch and I have learned an awful lot. Love their style and variety/history of firearms and types of rounds and ballistics. I bought my Uberti 45lc Cattleman because of watching Hickok and understand the ballistics of my 308 hunting rifle by watching Ron S. I try to never miss what these guys have to say. True legends both of them.

    2 legends.
    I will say, I've been with Hickok longer for mainly entertainment shooting, as the learning part of his videos I mostly already knew, although he has the persona to keep the newbies learning the very important points of firearm safety.
    Which is of the utmost importance in our hobby.
    But Ron has a different approach to the technical data that intrigues me to no end.
    He inspired the purchase of several calibers I currently own, the latest being a Ruger #1 in 220 swift.
    Still tweaking that rifle but I love it.
    Here's to many more good years of these 2 intelligent firearms legends.
    Carry on ,Sir.

    When I was in high school my freshmen English teacher, an ex-special forces member, participated in fast draw competitions as a hobby. He brought his pair of Colt 45s and holster rig to class to show us and to demonstrate the fast draw (as it was in 1964). He always kept our interest in class. He also drove a Chevy, SS 409, 4-speed, white convertible with red interior. A mans' man.
