Crafting the words and images that capture the spirit of the outdoor sports and the beauty that surrounds them.
Last week I camped out on Uwharrie National Forest, although getting away from it all wasn’t the main goal. I was doing photography at the BF Goodrich 36 Hours of Uwharrie, which included two mandatory shooting stages during the off-road, adventurist-style competition. I wish I had time to see all the missions assigned to participants—more than 30 […]
SIG Sauer P320 In a few rare cases SIG Sauer P320s have fired when dropped in a specific manner, despite the fact the handgun meets all U.S. standards for safety֫—including those prescribed by the Sporting Arms Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute—and passed rigorous testing by military and law enforcement personnel. Safety is a high priority with SIG, […]
My experience at the National Shooting Sports Foundation Fantasy Shooting Sports Camp in April was wonderful. I wrote about it here, for NRA’s American Rifleman and there’s another article scheduled to appear soon. Getting good photographs of guns in action isn’t exactly easy. That’s why I always take many more than I need for articles and sales, winding up with […]
Non-Newtonian fluid body armor probably wasn’t on Dr. Christopher Pannucci’s mind as he treated the woman for a gunshot wound. It would be just another case in the E.R., except for one peculiar fact. The bullet’s trajectory altered after it hit her breast implant, missing the heart and saving her life. The case piqued his curiosity. “The entrance and exit wounds were not in […]
(Photo courtesy of Daniel Defense) Introduce someone to target shooting before Sept. 23 and you qualify for a chance to win two hot passes to a NASCAR race. The special tickets provide access to the pit and garage, team hauler tours and the opportunity to meet Richard Childress. It’s all part of this year’s National Hunting […]
I’ve been writing about the outdoors for more than 30 years. Hint: I started before Al Gore invented the Internet. My bylines have appeared as Guy Sagi, Guy J. Sagi, Fear and Loading and G.J. Sagi with a few dead relatives to be named later. Don’t ask. Most of the time today my name doesn’t appear anywhere, which is […]
Lack of progress on Ranger Scientific’s 1,000-acre purchase of reclaimed mining property to build a $41.5 million, 150,000-square-foot West Virginia ammo factory has some residents concerned. The company made headlines when it announced plans on May 31, 2016, to secure the property in Kanawha County, West Virginia. Since then there’s been little if any headway and […]
The BATFE reversed its opinion on AR pistol braces, according to an opinion [PDF] recently released by the Bureau. The move eases concern by AR-15 pistol owners who have been told the firearm becomes a National Firearms Act (NFA) item—requiring the associated tax stamp and additional background checks—if they shoulder it using a pistol brace/stock. The March […]
I just returned from a three-day trip covering the NSSF Shooting Sports Fantasy Camp in Las Vegas. It was a great event, something every shooter—regardless of skillset—would enjoy. You don’t have to be a skilled marksman to attend. The only requirement is knowing the rules of gun safety and religious adherence to them, always. Expert marksmanship isn’t mandatory, thankfully (or I […]
The death of a 6-month-old baby last month in Dallas, TX, is another tragic reminder that there are times when 911 goes dark. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and loved ones of that infant, an innocent victim caught in modern-day, cell-phone perfect storm. When the babysitter got through to 911, the call […]
