August is National Shooting Sports Month, a time to celebrate one of America's great pastimes - target shooting - a safe, fun activity enjoyed by millions of people across the country, with millions more wanting to take their first shots. ??Research by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) shows that 24 million Americans are very interested in learning about the shooting sports, making National Shooting Sports Month the perfect time for someone to give target shooting a try. There are dozens of sports from which to choose, from hitting steel targets with handguns and rifles to breaking clay targets in the shotgun sports of trap, skeet and sporting clays. 

But if we are going to talk about shooting, let's talk with Corey Stueve of North Idaho's Selkirk Mountain Precision Gunsmithing. Corey specializes in customizing each rifle to the customer.

"I just pretty much build custom rifles to the customers specs, and you know whatever the customer wants or needs in a rifle I pretty much build it what he wants, caliber choice, stock choice, scope choice. I do iron open sites, smaller calibers and I also like to do large caliber rifles for up close game guide guns. Alaska brown bear type rifles, or Africa type rifles and heavy bored calibers. I guarantee half minute angle of accuracy on all the long range hunting rifles I build and pretty much with hand loads will do much better than that even."
