Here in Canada, there are a few firearms rights organizations and they each have their own approach on how to deal with turning the tide. The CCFR focuses on the public facing side of things and they do some really interesting things that none of the other gun orgs are into. Because they’re new, they…

I went a long time with very little firearms training and abilities and didn’t enjoy shooting to the fullest. I avoided pistols because I thought they were super inaccurate, but it was me the whole time. While I could hunt with rifles/shotguns just fine, my other skills were lacking until I took more serious training.…

Using a case similar, but not quite the same, as a .308 Winchester, the 6.5 Creedmoor uses skinnier, lighter bullets and sends them downrange faster. 6.5 Creedmoor has gained in popularity as a great selection for medium…

I think, when speaking to non-gun owning people about rifles like this, we should stop referring to them as “AR’s”. The Problem: Language and Baggage One of the biggest problems is a difference between what gun owners…

With Father’s Day 2015 coming up on June 21st, I thought I’d get a few ideas out there for the different kinds of hunting dads and husbands. I’ve got gift ideas split into: Father’s Day Gifts for Archers Father’s Day Gifts for Cold Weather Hunters Father’s Day Gifts for Duck Hunting Dads Father’s Day Gifts for Varmint Hunters Father’s…
