The EZARC ARC-Edge Reciprocating Pruning Blade is designed to make a Sawzall or similar reciprocating-blade-saw into a pruning tool. The 15-inch, chrome-vanadium-steel blade has an aggressive tooth design optimized for pruning with five teeth per inch. A shorter 12-inch version is also available. I tested the 15-inch version. Based on my testing, I would suspect that the shorter 12-inch version would work better than the 15-inch version. The extra length of blade that extends beyond the object being cut tends to whip violently to the left and right as the blade moves backward and forward. This creates extra friction, vibration,…

The softshell component in Muddy’s all-season DV8 camouflage layering system, the Enduro Jacket is designed for warmth, water-resistance and ruggedness while also emphasizing silent mobility. Built from an 87/13 blend of polyester and spandex, the jacket’s outer shell helps keep the elements out thanks to an articulated hood with a high zippered collar, stretch-gusseted cuffs, a DWR coating and a drop-tail hem that protects the wearer’s back side. Meanwhile, strategically placed insulation provides warmth during temperatures as low as 35o F and microfiber-fleece underarms permit a full range of motion without giving away the hunter’s position to wary animals.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) estimates 1,587,049 guns sold in December 2025, based on the results of a purchaser’s name being processed through the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). The figure is a 3.4 percent decline when compared to the trade organization’s number for the same month in 2024, when total volume came in at 1,642,270. The group’s estimates are considered a relative barometer of industry health, but the slight decline might be partially fueled by the price of an NFA tax stamp dropping to $0 for suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns and “any other weapons”…

Lately, I’ve had more hands-on trigger time with bullpup carbines. Primarily, this involves the long-stroke gas piston IWI Tavor X95 chambered in 5.56 NATO; there was also a range session in which I got to shoot a magazine through a Springfield Armory Hellion, too. However, I’ve been getting to know my Tavor X95 fairly well, and I’m taking the time to write this compare-and-contrast piece about bullpup versus conventional [AR-15 pattern] carbines because, for the most part, the American shooting public seems to look sideways at bullpups.  In this article, I’ll lean on my IWI Tavor X95 and my LWRC…

My state boasts one of the longest rifle seasons in the country. While there are a few “primitive weapon” seasons scattered throughout on public lands, folks can gun hunt on private land from the weekend before Thanksgiving to the end of January. That’s two and a half months of gun season for you folks up North that complain about the orange armies flooding the woods for a whole week or two. With nearly a quarter of the year dedicated to gun season, you’d think most hunters could kill a deer from the hip, but that’s just not the case.After working…

Armed Citizen® Today A 23-year-old man attending a party on Jan. 10 in Sterling Heights, Mich., became embroiled in an argument with another guest, which started inside but continued outside.

The suspect is being charged with three counts of assault with intent to murder, three counts of felony firearm and one count…
