The Ashley Update: Happy 4th of July

Published by
Ashley Hlebinsky

Hlebinsky, who previously worked at the Smithsonian is exactly the kind of ambassador the shooting community needs. Torrentially well informed, passionate to the point of geekery, and blessed with a wicked sense of humor, she can swill whiskey and smoke cigars while holding forth on black powder muskets until your eyes glaze over. Spreading the gospel of responsible firearms ownership has never been more important, and being able to demystify an inanimate object while educating the public about its role in the nation’s history goes a long way toward countering negative publicity.


Ashley gives this week's update from the range on the Fourth of July. Perfect day at an undisclosed location shooting shotguns with family.
