Smith & Wesson recently launched a Military & Law Enforcement Rebate program.

Savage Arms introduced its first iteration of the Axis bolt-action hunting rifle platform back in 2010. Though the rifle has been available in various configurations over the years, the company has phased out most of the Axis and Axis II models at this point. But by late 2024, the company was ready to introduce the Axis 2 Pro lineup that was later updated in 2025 with the addition of 6 mm ARC caliber options and the new Forest SP camouflage stock finish. The Axis Savage Axis 2 Pro is available in a variety of calibers and stock finishes. Today, the…

If you’ve ever struggled to reassemble a Ruger Standard .22 pistol, MK I to MK III, the company with the solution was Hammer Strut Support, which offered an easy, patented solution for decades and was always advertised in the back of American Rifleman magazine. Now, company owner Tom Velez is hanging up his spurs, and Hammer Strut Support will be closing its doors by May 2026. For Ruger pistol owners who haven’t yet taken advantage of the company’s hammer-strut-support reassembly aid, prices have been reduced while inventory lasts, but the window is closing rapidly. For years, the price for this…
There is a moment in shooting where discipline either sharpens or quietly unravels. That moment is when the shooter looks for validation. Event Horizon is designed to pull attention away from consequence and return it to process by removing the shooter’s ability to visually reward or punish themselves shot-to-shot. This tendency is where many bad habits are born, and this drill deliberately challenges this behavior—for the better. Like a black hole’s event horizon, the black target absorbs what crosses it. Solid hits disappear. When success is invisible, emotional reaction fades and honest execution takes its place. Most shooters, new and…
(Continued from Part 3.) Health considerations There is a saying which encapsulates a large percentage of the preparation: “If you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything.” Health is much more critical for a young woman versus a young man. I have known of individuals whose fathers died before they were born as the female’s time contribution to pregnancy is on average 65,000 times greater than the man’s contribution. In nature, male bees (drones) do not live that long after successfully mating with the queen as the insemination act if successful is the male’s swan song. Even if they…

On April 15th, 1621, Hugo Grotius arrived in France after escaping prison in a book chest. Grotius is renowned primarily for his work in philosophy, political theory, and law. This work laid the groundwork for an international law rooted in Grotius’ understanding of natural law, stemming from his Protestantism. His books with the most significant impact were De jure belli ac pacis (On the Law of War and Peace) and Mare Liberum (The Free Seas). — April 15th, 1912, is the anniversary of the sinking of the “unsinkable” Titanic. 1,517 people lost their lives on the ship’s maiden voyage. —…
Patience gets thrown around a lot in general hunting advice. Whether it’s pulling an all-day hunt during the whitetail rut or waiting another hour on that gobbler that went silent, patience usually pays off. You’ll punch a lot of tags if you learn to embrace patience. But sometimes you need to throw it out the window (not completely) when the occasion arises.This lesson recently dawned on me during a successful turkey hunt. Two gobblers fired off right at daybreak. I quickly cut the distance to them and set up. After a few soft calls they came within gun range but…
