(Continued from Part 1.) The Trumpets In part 1 of this series, we reviewed excerpts from my book “Revelation: Illustrated and Explained”. I discussed the Seal judgments upon the earth. Now we will discuss the Trumpet judgments, the difference between the Seals and Trumpets; the Tribulation, the Great Tribulation; and finally, the timing of the Rapture. “And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.” (Revelation 8:1-2 KJV) The Seventh Seal introduces…

Among hunters, the backstraps have earned a high reputation. Aside from the tenderloins, they’re usually the cut that most people prize. We’ve all seen the grip n’ grin photos of a backstrap harvested in the field. If you’re like me, you’ve probably taken a few photos too. While this showpiece steak is visually impressive, I’m going to be honest: I don’t think it’s quite as good as people make it out to be. There are better steaks on a deer.I used to think that the backstraps are the “prime cut” of a deer, elk, or antelope. They’re fairly tender and…

Nearly every shooter understands the basic principles of marksmanship: position, grip, sight alignment, breathing, trigger control and follow-through. But something not frequently talked about outside of highly competitive or specialist training circles is the concept of natural point of aim (NPOA). Have you ever felt like you were working against your gun to get it back on target after every shot, even though you thought you were in a stable position? The most likely reason is that you did not take the time to establish your NPOA. So what is it? US Army TC 3-22.9 Rifle Marksmanship defines the natural…

Stoeger has introduced the latest version of its STR-9 line of handguns, the STR-9 Thinline+. Like every pistol in the STR family, the Thinline+ is built on Stoeger’s proven striker-fired, semi-auto platform. What makes it different is how it carries. The slim, 1-inch-wide slide rides close to the body to stay out of the way, while the standard-size grip gives shooters a solid, confident hold—making it easy to shoot as well as carry. The STR-9 Thinline+ refines that mixture of ease of carry and shootability even further. Its ported barrel and lower overall profile reduces printing and lowers the bore…

Vortex Optics made headlines in 2022 when it was selected to provide the Next Generation Squad Weapons–Fire Control (NGSW-FC) system for the U.S. Army’s NGSW program. That has led to both securing additional military optics contracts and the resulting advanced technology trickling down to civilian products. Both of those are evident in the release of the company’s AMG 1-10X 24 mm FFP, the world’s shortest and lightest FFP 1-10X low-power variable optic (LPVO), to the civilian market. Vortex’s AMG 1-10X 24 mm FFP is the world’s shortest and lightest FFP 1-10X low-power variable optic and is designed to be used…

Smith & Wesson added another chambering to the FPC line, with the new 5.7×28 mm joining the original 9 mm, .40 S&W, 10 mm and .22LR. This innovative carbine folds in the middle, allowing mounted optics to remain in place even when the rifle is folded for storage. Two magazines can be carried in the polymer buttstock to augment on-board capacity. Inspired by Smith & Wesson’s M&P handgun line, M&P FPC models all share familiar features. This new folding carbine design incorporates an M&P 5.7 pistol grip and flat-face trigger, and is also compatible with the same 5.7x28mm magazines. It…
