A few months ago, we attended Range Ready’s “Plinkapalooza,” a celebration of all things rimfire. There were shoot-off events, challenges of skill and feats of marksmanship on display, with most firearms chambered in .22 LR, but also some .17 HMR and .22 Mag. represented. Firearms, in semi-automatic pistol, revolver and rifle, were plentiful, as well as various ammunition offerings and sound suppressors. There were even a few new products unveiled at the event. Volquartsen Firearms presented a number of its highly customized and accurized rimfire rifles, pistols and large-format pistols at Plinkapalooza, and it’s easy to see why the company…

Within the suppressor world, one of the most popular use cases is for rifles, for a whole host of reasons. Reducing a rifle’s report not only helps prevent hearing loss, it can also create a more comfortable shooting environment for those around you. When hunting, the use of a suppressor can diminish a rifle’s report so drastically that it’s possible to take game without alerting other game animals in the surrounding area. Using a suppressor on a home-defense firearm can reduce the disorientation created by concussive muzzle blasts in confined spaces, ensuring that home defenders remain more alert and aware…

If there’s one disease that needs no introduction in the whitetail world, it’s CWD. Since its first detection in wild deer herds, chronic wasting disease has been a constant source of contention and uncertainty within the hunting community.Studies have repeatedly shown that a high prevalence of chronic wasting disease can tip population growth rates into the negatives, since CWD is categorically fatal for any deer unlucky enough to contract it. Progression in infected individuals is wildly different from other high-profile diseases like EHD, which makes it particularly challenging to understand the long-term effects of CWD on whitetail populations.While an EHD-positive…

00:00:00 Speaker 1: The West domination, and more specifically, the Frontier West domination of movie and television storytelling for most of the twentieth century is one of the truly remarkable features of American film history. That domination began well over a century ago. One of the very first commercial motion pictures was The Great Train Robbery, filmed in New Jersey in nineteen oh three. With a runtime of twelve minutes. It not only launched the Western as a genre, it introduced Bronco Billy Anderson, who became the first Western movie star, following nineteen oh seven’s Bronco Billy and the Baby.…

When I have conversations with friends and neighbors about Artificial Intelligence (AI), some of them  conclude that I’m an alarmist. I believe that this is because their experience has been limited to simplistic generative AI tools that crank out artwork in seconds, or that can create convincing term papers when given just a simple outline phrase. What they haven’t seen are agentic AIs that scheme, manipulate, and cheat to reach their programmed goals, and often go beyond those programmed goals. If a stated goal is open-ended, then these AIs often improvise in unexpected ways. Recently, for example, a test AI…
