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…

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…

The Tuckertown Gamelands along the Yadkin River have been a cornerstone of public access in the state of North Carolina for decades. Hardwood ridges echoing with the gobbles of wild turkeys and traced by the trails of whitetail deer. Long miles of shoreline bordering waters teeming with bass, catfish, crappie, and more. For more than sixty years, hunters and anglers in the state have enjoyed access to this nearly 4,000-acre stretch of privately owned lands made open to the public. But that’s all now threatened by the proposed sale of this landscape by Alcoa, the corporation that has long held…
