“Dreaded Dry Fire” is the training conversation most shooters would rather avoid. Mention it at the range, and you can watch enthusiasm drain out in real time. Eyes drift away. Someone changes the subject to ammo or the latest gear review they watched online. Almost anything sounds more appealing than the disciplined, repetitive work of dry practice. The uncomfortable truth is impossible to ignore. Talk to the best shooters in the world—Grand Masters, national champions, professional instructors—and you will hear the same story: the majority of their skill development did not happen on the range with ammunition. It happened in…

With acres of exhibition space, addresses from NRA’s leadership, an epic country concert and literally tens of thousands of guns on display, the 155th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Houston­—and our nation’s 250th celebration—are not to be missed. Join us April 17-19! It was 250 years ago that the “unanimous Declaration of the 13 united States of America” was signed on July 4, 1776. The shot heard ‘round the world had been fired on April 19, 1775, and the long-fought war that followed led to the noble experiment in human freedom we call these United States. It was a war…

This is going to be a sort of ridiculous apples-to-oranges analogy, but hear me out: You probably wouldn’t put out a thick-necked, ears-pinned, posturing buck decoy in the beginning of September. Sure, you might lure in a moody fighter to scrap, but mostly you wouldn’t because the timing wouldn’t be right.We inherently understand that about deer, but we don’t really think about it as much with turkeys. And why should we? You could stack up enough gobblers with a single hen decoy and the right calling to support an argument for not overthinking your spread.You’d also not kill as many…

California wildlife officers arrested four men on March 13 following a 3-year poaching investigation that uncovered close to 30 deer allegedly taken across multiple counties, some out of season, some with spotlights, and some with fraudulent tags, according to a statement from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.Investigators say the group used spotlights, hunted out of season, and repeatedly abused California’s deer tag system. Officers found physical and digital evidence that deer tags were being recycled and reused, just not in any environmentally responsible way. In one case, a single tag was reportedly used to cover four separate deer…

This is my wild game take on the classic “marry me” chicken. And while you might get a proposal out of this dish, it will definitely convince a reluctant significant other to tag along on a turkey hunt!Wild turkey brings a deeper, more savory flavor to this Tuscan-inspired sauce. I particularly like browning the meat and aromatics in a little turkey fat or chicken schmaltz (though butter or oil will do just fine). A squeeze of lemon and the sun-dried tomatoes cut through the richness of the cream and make everything pop.Serve it with crusty bread to soak up the…

At first glance, it looks like an April Fools’ joke, but rest assured, these are very real. Falco Holsters has officially launched its new CarryArt series, introducing two of its most unconventional designs to date: the CX14 Pineapple and CX15 Strawberry leather OWB holsters. Falco describes its new CarryArt holster category as “a place where traditional leatherwork evolves into a form of personal expression.” Each holster is constructed using full-grain Italian leather, custom-fit to the firearm, and designed to deliver the same reliability, retention, and smooth draw offered by the company’s more traditional products. CarryArt holsters transform leather into a…
