This is the recipe I bring out when I’m having folks over and want to serve up an impressive main protein. The eye of round is one of my favorite cuts—it’s tender, flavorful, and unique. If you’re unfamiliar with the long, cylindrical muscle from the hindquarter, check out this helpful guide from Danielle Prewett to identify it while butchering your harvest.I typically have an elk or two in my freezer, so the muscle group is quite large and can easily serve six people. If you’re using something smaller like a deer or antelope, it will likely only feed two to…

00:00:09 Speaker 1: From Meat Eaters World Headquarters in Bozeman, Montana, this is Cal’s Week in Review with Ryan Cal Callahan, presented by First Light. Here’s Cal. There’s an unusual bighorn sheep on the land in Montana. That’s a sheep joke. In Montana, Fish, Wildlife, and Parks officials are concerned According to a recent Facebook post, Fish, Wildlife, and Parks is seeking help from the public to locate a hybridized female Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep that went missing from a private alternative livestock facility near Vaughn in early September. If you’re wondering what alternative livestock is, well, as you know,…

Armed Citizen® Today A man allegedly broke into a residence in Elbert County, Ga., on Sept. 21, and was discovered by the property owner. The suspect reportedly attempted to assault the owner, and a fight occurred. The homeowner shot the alleged intruder, who then fled the scene. He was arrested a short time later and transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. (wspa.com; Spartanburg, Ga.; 9/24/26) From the Armed Citizen® Archives – June 14, 1987 Patsy Holdcroft was disturbed by the sound of someone beating on the front door of her Las Vegas, Nev., home. The 25-year-old woman armed herself…

Most people picking out their first gun start off on the wrong foot. The classic move is to walk up to the counter, grab a pistol, and see “how it feels” before making a decision. With this approach, comfort gets treated as the priority. The problem is that buying a gun based on how it feels at the counter is like buying a car without test-driving it. It’s the firearm equivalent of just sitting behind the wheel, going “vroom vroom!” Comfort vs. CapabilityOne of the biggest mistakes I saw back when I worked behind the gun counter was people thinking…

About a million years ago, I met two gentlemen at SHOT Show who handed me a rather unusual-looking 1911 hammer. It had a peculiar cut in the front, and naturally, I asked, “What the heck is this?” That was my introduction to Cammer Technologies. Their redesigned hammer face uses leverage to make cocking the hammer noticeably easier. I covered the company several times over the years in American Handgunner, and now my friend JC has taken over the operation and ramped things up. Cammer offers complete 1911 kits with the hammer, sear, disconnector, springs, strut, plunger and other bits you…

Administrative rules are not the most glamorous aspect of national governance. But they are fundamental to bureaucracy’s inner workings and how they affect, for better or for worse, the daily lives of ordinary Americans. In the July issue, I wrote about a comprehensive regulatory overhaul the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) launched in April (see ATF’s “‘New Era of Reform’ Kicks into High Gear”). This month, I want to update you on NRA’s response. When it comes to day-to-day advocacy for your rights in the nation’s capital, this is where the rubber meets the road. The effort…

Every time a rifle takes on a new role, the setup changes with it. A red dot for close range. Thermal clip-ons for after dark. A ballistic ranging device for precision shooting farther out. The challenge isn’t adding capability — it’s doing it without turning your rifle into a pile-up of adapters and workarounds. The Vortex Pro Cantilever Mounts & Accessories series gives shooters a more streamlined way to adapt their setup to the task at hand. Built in the USA and designed as a complete system, the Pro Cantilever Mounts & Accessories let shooters configure their rifle for changing…

Politics is something most of us only step into because we must. We’d rather smile in the warm autumn sun as we help a son or daughter, or grandson or granddaughter, break their first clay or plink steel with their first .22 rifle. We’d rather check a deer rifle’s zero and attend a course run by an NRA-certified instructor than think about local, state and federal political races. However, in our constitutional system, every two years, the entire U.S. House of Representatives, all 435 positions, and one-third of the U.S. Senate (this year, because of special elections, 35 seats are…

Falco hand-colors, shapes and lacquers the A112 using full-grain Italian leather. Buyers can choose right- or left-handed construction and configure details including color, belt-clip size, thread color, edge color and personalized embossing. Some choices are cosmetic. Others determine whether the holster fits the belt and body correctly. The Big Rig The C631 L King tackles a different problem. As an outside-the-waistband option configured with a snap-based thumb break strap, it’s the way to go for larger guns, or in this case, guns with external accessories like a rail-mounted light or laser. This rig is for situations where concealment matters less…

Some seek out the stage and are reluctant to give up the microphone. Others are placed on the stage and are reluctant to take credit for their accomplishments. What follows is the exceptional story of a member of the latter group, self-branded as “Dark Horse.” As a California teen in the ‘90s, Amatangelo “AJ” Pasciuti (Pa-shoo-tee) was a self-proclaimed average kid who was motivated by the 9/11 assault on America to fight back. Against the wishes of his first-generation Italian father, he enlisted in the Marines, describing his decision as “That pivotal moment many of us take when we leave…
