Hearing protection is vital when engaged in the shooting sports. I’d say we all know that, but as a professional in this industry, I know far too many people who respond to my verbal inquiries with a “Huh?” whilst cupping their ear toward me. Come to think of it, I might be one of those people. The simple fact is, when you set off a small explosion relatively close to your ear, in an enclosed space or simply close enough to make you wince when you hear it, you are causing hearing damage. Sound suppressors greatly help protect hearing, but…

The adversary fled back into the river but was discovered dead of several gunshot wounds early the next morning. The neighbor suffered facial lacerations and…

In American Rifleman’s 2025 coverage of the new Federal 7 mm Backcountry cartridge, much of the story wasn’t as much about the new chambering as it was about the cartridge case itself, a case that Federal called its “Peak Alloy” design. The single-piece, all-steel cartridge case, in the words of Federal Managing Engineer Jake Burns, “acts as its own mini pressure-containment vessel, absorbing some of the energy without cracking or stretching. That’s part of the case’s ability to manage pressure.” Now, that design has moved from a proprietary chambering to the mainstream cartridge world with the introduction of Federal’s new…

But the rising popularity has led to significantly increased crowding and pressure on many waterways in the West, to the detriment of fisheries and anglers alike.Thankfully, there are still plenty of underrated—and less trafficked—opportunities to catch fish out West, especially if you don’t mind using different tactics, targeting unexpected species, and fishing different types of waterbodies. This list is meant to inspire anglers to break away from the crowds and…
