This personal data, circulated in hunting camps, diners, and chat forums, has created an Iron Curtain between mechanical die-hards and fixed-blade fanatics.Rather than acknowledge both their strengths and shortcomings, most folks take a hard stance against one or the other. Of course, the staunchest defenders in these camps often overlook proper tuning and practice that plays a huge role no matter what you have on the end of your arrow, and here at MeatEater we’ve flung more than a few.We shoot anything from stone points…

Best-selling author Bryan Burrough explores the surprising origins of Old West gunfights in America’s deep involvement with the duel, a contest used by so many men during the early 1800s, including politicians from Andrew Jackson to Abraham Lincoln, chose to settle their disputes by drawing guns and firing at each other. From the duel that left Alexander Hamilton dead in 1804 to the dozens or more that took place every Sunday during the 1830s in New Orleans’ city park, Burrough traces how these bloody contests over honor evolved into the manic gunfights we remember on the post-Civil War western frontier.…

Once one of the most popular hunting cartridges in North America, a decade ago, the .30-30 Winchester and the lever-action rifles that chambered it seemed to be fading away in an era of short magnums, precision rifle cartridges and modern sporting rifles. That has all changed in the last five years with a lever-action revival, with companies including Marlin, Henry, Smith & Wesson and Rossi introducing (or re-introducing) rifles chambered for the classic cartridge. One of the latest .30-30 lever guns comes from an unexpected place: Turkey. New for 2026, GForce Arms has introduced its LVR30S. The LVR30S is Turkish…

The internet is one of the greatest inventions in the history of mankind. It lets us share the knowledge of the universe and instantly communicate throughout the world. It’s allowed lifesaving surgery to be performed in remote locations and has brought the truth of freedom to repressed countries. So, then, why do so many of us use it to argue endlessly with people we don’t know and to post photos of our food? After years of surfing, I am a bit skeptical of anything online. I saw that Elvis is living in Nebraska and that Bigfoot is real. I don’t…

It happens to every hunter eventually. Whether you’re hunting solo in the backcountry or you take a big buck, bull, or bear at last light, you’ll suddenly find it impossible to get your meat out of the woods during the light of day. While you can chance an all-night pack out, this isn’t always a good idea in rough terrain or grizzly country. In that case, you’ll have to leave your meat in the woods overnight.In all my years of hunting and guiding, I’ve left a lot of meat hanging until the next day, and I’ve also spent countless sleepless…
