This is the second installment of a three-part elk hunting story by FHF founder, Paul Lewis. Stay tuned for the last segment or read the first here.On the morning of September 13th, I slipped into the river bottom, only to bump the herd and listen to them splash across the river. I stumbled across an empty treestand that belongs to a local rifle hunter and decided to take the hint. So, I sat in the same area that evening. I am not a patient hunter; sitting motionless waiting for something to happen feels like a mental prison.With only ten minutes…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has already made itself a home in the firearm industry, although most companies remain silent when asked if they’ve harnessed any of that horsepower. Firms that deal in the used-gun market, however, are not shy about sharing the advantages their AI-driven services. On Aug. 13, for example, Guns.com announced its new proprietary intelligent technology platform was in alpha testing.

The press release boldly states, “…the platform represents the most significant technology advancement for…

Question: Should I use a mechanical or fixed blade broadhead, and what brands do you recommend?Answer: If I had a dollar for every time I’ve been asked this question, I could probably start manufacturing my own broadheads. Back when I was more of a fixture on the seminar circuit, I fielded this inquiry during every single show. My answer used to be pretty simple and straightforward: Shoot a sharp, durable, fixed-blade head.I started hunting before mechanicals became a thing, and was slow to adopt any broadhead with moving parts. When I got the job as Equipment Editor for what was…

When I was growing up, my old man and I watched a ton of World War II shows and movies. He got me hooked on watching “Combat!” while telling me about how grandpa fought in the Battle of the Bulge. I loved seeing the GIs with their Garands, Thompsons and BARs fighting the evil Nazis armed with their Mausers and MP40s. Then, years later, when I went to buy my first gun at the age of 21 (I know, late bloomer, but I was living in Massachusetts and no one in my family was a gun owner!), I was about…

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…

00:00:00 Speaker 1: The average American spends nearly seven hours a day looking at a screen, but less than five hours a week outside in nature. More than eighty three percent of Americans now live in urban areas, and the average citizen lives nearly six miles from the nearest natural area. We as a people are becoming more and more disconnected from the wild world, while at the same time, researchers are finding in study after study that time outside in that wild world has dramatic and measurable benefits for both our physical and mental well being. Not to mention…
