Who’s the toughest hunter in the Alps? That’s a question Steyr Arms set out to answer in 2018 with the Steyr Challenge, a contest that includes mountain running, abseiling, and (of course) shooting for accuracy. This year, they seem to have realized that they forgot to invite the Americans. That’s why this year the Steyr…
So here’s something new that’s already burning a hole in my Ed Hardy wallet: It’s sort of a .22-caliber rifle, and sort of a bow, and sort of something I probably shouldn’t want to have…but do. It’s called the Crackshot XBR rifle by Traditions and it sounds like a hell of a lot of fun….
Watching people mishandle guns is difficult…unless those people are criminals. Ask anyone who’s spent any time in law enforcement: The vast majority of criminals didn’t become criminals so they could use their razor-sharp intelligence to neatly separate law-abiding folks from their money. Once upon a time, when I was a young and idealistic Munson, I…
A gentle reminder on the importance of “bearing” those arms… It’s human nature, and a human failing: Sometimes we just don’t want to be bothered latching our seatbelts (because we’re just going up the driveway to get our mail), and sometimes we don’t feel like strapping on our EDC rig (because we’re just going to…
From the creepy-but-explainable to the just plain bizarre… Every so often, the mostly-anonymous social-media site Reddit asks itself a question: Hunters of Reddit, what did you see out there that made you never want to go back into the woods?

A couple of months back, we announced that Federal Ammunition had a new .410 turkey load… When we first heard the news that Federal Premium was coming out with a new .410 shotshell load suitable for hunting turkeys, it came as a relief–after all, is there anything more punishing to the shoulder than trying to…
If you’re one of the millions of Americans who’s taken responsibility for your own safety by carrying a concealed firearm, you’ll be psyched to learn that there’s a consumer trade show out there just for you, and that it’s coming to Pittsburgh, Penn., this May 17 – 19. It’s called the Concealed Carry Expo, and…
Even Indiana Jones sighed, “Why did it have to be snakes?” It’s not that I’m disturbed by snakes, of course. I’m a macho man and I definitely never, ever ran away from a water moccasin making loud yet oddly strangled yelps like a Chihuahua choking on a crack rock. Nor did I ever almost step…
Since when does turning 100 return you to your roots? Since January 2019, that’s when. When you hear the name “Mossberg,” no doubt the first thing you think is “shotgun,” and for good reason: The company is best known for high-quality shotguns at affordable prices. But did you know that, way back in 1919, Mossberg’s…
If you haven’t heard of HAVA, do I hava story to tell you! With all due apologies for the above horrible pun, Honored American Veterans Afield (HAVA) is a 501(c)3 organization formed by companies in the shooting and outdoor industry for the purpose of raising awareness and further assisting disabled veterans with their healing process…
Here are the stories of four people whose lives were saved by their own quick thinking, their training…and the fact that they had guns. If you’re reading this, chances are good that you’re already pretty well-versed in both of the statistics you can see in the above photo. The problem with statistics is that, for…
The archery experts at Feradyne know that the ancient sport of bowhunting is going through another renaissance these days, and that’s a good thing when it comes to introducing the next generation to the shooting sports and hunting. But if you’re not sure you’re up to dealing with a 50-pound draw weight or a huge…
