Crafting the words and images that capture the spirit of the outdoor sports and the beauty that surrounds them.
A 70-year-old Vietnam vet who lives in central New York was visited by sheriff’s deputies at 9:30 p.m. one night in February. They had a court order claiming he’d been deemed mentally unfit, and under the state’s Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement (SAFE) Act or Brady Act—no one seems to agree which one triggered really […]
Those who’ve made the choice to take charge of their well-being until authorities arrive during a criminal attack—by securing a concealed carry permit—face an ever-changing landscape where they may not be honored in certain states, even neighboring ones a few miles away. Worse yet, reciprocity status can change unexpectedly. Photographers often travel with expensive gear. […]
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police recently misplaced a bag containing a 40 mm grenade launcher and electronics gear—along with a box of ammo—when the stuff “bounced off a truck” at British Columbia’s Golden Ears Bridge, near Vancouver. A law-abiding citizen found the RCMP grenade launcher and returned the items, but not before the agency issued a public plea for […]
The first total eclipse in 26 years to darken the United States mainland hits the beach today in Oregon. At about 2:50 p.m. it will swim off shore in South Carolina, making a cross country trek that hasn’t been seen in nearly 100 years.

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.

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
