My Struggle with Babesiosis – Kate

Syren pro-staffer Kate Ahnstrom shares her story about a battle she’s been fighting for years with Babesiosis, a tick-born disease. Find out what she does to prevent tick bites, and how she has progressed through treatment to become disease free.
Babesiosis caused by babesia is a debilitating, misdiagnosed and common disease caused by ticks. According to the Cleveland Clinic, it’s only found in a few states and presents with a few thousand cases per year. That information couldn’t be any more wrong than if someone told you that drunk driving is limited to a few deaths per year and is seldom a problem.
This disease is a serious issue and one that is spreading through our population like wildfire, in almost every state in the union. The worst part is that modern, Western medicine refuses to engage with better, proven methods of detection and treatment. My personal journey with the parasitic invaders in my bloodstream was nothing short of an exhaustive, desperate search for answers and a random course of events that has led to my cure.

Lisa’s Story: A 20-Year Search for the Right Shotgun

As I look back over the last 20 years of my life, I just shake my head in disbelief and smile.
As a mother (and grandmother now, too), I’ve come to realize that some people teach others by doing the right thing and modeling appropriate behavior at all times. I, on the other hand, have taught my best lessons by doing things the wrong way. My adult “kids” will cheerfully vouch for the impact my failures have had on their lives as they vow never to make the same mistakes I made… and that, right there, is a beautiful thing.
My journey as a shooting sportswoman unfolded the same way.

H.E.R. Strength Training for Shotgun Shooting

What is more beautiful than seeing a woman who is strong, confident and comfortable in her own skin at a shooting range or out hunting? I find it to be empowering and inspiring when I see another woman who stands proud with a shotgun in hand. As an avid hunter and shotgun shooter, who also takes pride in building other females up, this is something I would love to see more often.
The harsh truth is that some women struggle with lifting and holding shotguns for prolonged periods of time. The feeling of being “weak” can often spiral into a lack of confidence and loss of drive to get out shooting. How can this be addressed so that more women feel strong enough to get out shooting, specifically shotguns? My answer to women of all ages, shapes and sizes is strength training.

Dove Hunting Tips: Getting after the Grey Ghosts

If you’re like me, you wish away the summer, even cursing it for interrupting your hunt season and making you hang up your bird vest. The mid-Atlantic can be a bit brutal, though, especially in September when the season comes back. It also sees its fair share of hurricanes and flat-out ugly thunderstorms. The dove migration is highly susceptible to these strong storms, and you’ll often hear chatter about the birds getting “blown out.”
It doesn’t take but a week or two for the birds to become educated and even more evasive, giving them that oh-so-appropriate name, “Grey Ghosts.” So, with such fickle and punishing weather and temperamental targets, why do so few utilize the summer months to prepare?
