Ahead of SHOT Show 2026, Nighthawk Custom announced it would be releasing three new handguns, all built with the company’s “One Gun, One Gunsmith” approach.

On December 16, Brian Nesvik, Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), posted an order to all internal department staff to perform a “comprehensive review” of the National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS) and National Fish Hatchery System (NFHS). The intent of this review is to identify “refuges or hatcheries established for a purpose that no longer aligns with the mission.” It also requests seeking “opportunities to achieve efficiencies in the areas of governance, oversight, and span of control,” among other factors.While many see this review as a first step in liquidating public lands, others approve of it. Congressional…

00:00:02 Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, Welcome to The Houndation’s podcast. I’m your host, Tony Peterson, and this episode is all about understanding how good our dogs noses really are and how they use them, and how we can make sure that once we understand that, we can be better trainers and just better dog owners. If you talk to I don’t know literally any dog owner anywhere, or at least bird dog owner, you’ll probably hear them talk about their dogs having a really good nose. I used to think that was a thing, like, you know, some dogs have…

00:00:05 Speaker 1: Ty Evans is one of the country’s top mule trainers and clinicians, and his journey with this misunderstood animal, the mule, has changed his life and through working with him, he’s learned what true leadership is.

I’m ready to be something different, to look at life in a new way, and to become the person I’ve always known I should be. I think you’re going to be surprised by this episode, and I really doubt…

These times of sparsely available handloading components require scrimping here and there in order to continue shooting, and the .38 Special provides a lot of bang for the buck. Using a lead wadcutter powered by 4.0 grains of propellant makes for as miserly a handload as is possible. Commercial swaged-lead wadcutters and wadcutters with a hollow base readily “bump up” to seal the bore; expect some smears of lead, though, in the bore from these bullets. The wadcutter listed in the recipe was cast of lead with the addition of 2 percent tin, which helped the melt flow to produce…

There’s a small section on a particular piece of public I look forward to hunting every year during the peak rut. There’s about a three- or four-day stretch that I know I’ll see bucks chasing in this specific stretch of woods. The first year I hunted this spot, I was nearly trampled by a group of does during a midday scout. I was hunting my way into an evening setup when a sweet buck chased these does into my lap. They made a quick 180, and I had just a quick glimpse of tall tines speeding back through the switch…
