Read More →I’m not Ed Anger, but I do want to be him when I grow up. If you’re older than a certain age, then you no doubt remember that supermarket checkout-line staple, the Weekly World News. Maybe you even remember my favorite columnist, Ed Anger, who was always pig-biting mad about something or other. Today, I…
In midsummer, some folks dream of Shakespearean drama, but not hunters—in midsummer, they dream of short days, crisp nights, and all the guns and gear they could ever want to hunt any place or game in the Americas. That’s why Brand Avalanche, together with sponsors Davidson’s Gallery of Guns, SIG SAUER, Lone Wolf Distributors, Crossbreed,…
Steyr Arms is setting out to solve one of the great conundrums of buying guns: You know that it’s best to test-shoot your gun before you plunk down your hard-earned cash, but most gun stores just don’t have the facilities to let you try before you buy. That’s why it’s such great news that the…
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…
Tax Day got you down? Cheer up with the Steyr Elite Experience of a Lifetime Giveaway! Here’s some welcome news on this April 15: Steyr Arms is giving away three grand prizes to three lucky winners from now through August 31. It’s called the Steyr Elite Experience of a Lifetime Giveaway, and as of…oh, right…
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? Some of the replies are clearly jokes; some of the replies aren’t especially freaky or…
What’s better than self-defense training videos? Free self-defense training videos! Are you like me? Sometimes I require a bit of convincing before I’ll commit to buying new tech for my CCW rig. It’s not that I’m (necessarily) a Luddite; nor that I’m (always) cheap. It’s that I’m relying as much on training and muscle memory…
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…
