(Continued from Part 1.) The following are the basic tools I use to harvest and butcher fowl: Large stainless steel bowl. I put several quarts of water in the pot (the amount of water varies on how many birds I am harvesting) to keep the meat from drying out and to help keep flies away if they are present. I also butcher where running water is easily accessible to wash my hands when necessary. Sharp knife. My preferred knife for cleaning and butchering is a medium-sized, antique, high-carbon steel butcher knife with a very thin blade. This knife is from…

While some of Heckler & Koch’s earliest handgun designs, like the VP70 and P7, were striker-fired, many of the company’s most popular modern pistols were hammer-fired, like the USP and P30. In 2014, the company introduced its updated, striker-fired, polymer-framed handgun, the VP9. New for 2026, H&K is expanding its VP9 line-up with the VP9A1 X and VP9A1 Tactical models.  The VP9A1 X is a “crossover” model that combines a compact slide/barrel length with a full-size grip frame. All new models are based on the VP9A1 variant that H&K released last year, with updated features including improved ergonomics and trigger pull,…

Rifle-cartridge innovation has historically focused on velocity. Weatherby built its company and reputation on this premise. This began to change as the 6.5 Creedmoor rose to stardom. For the last decade, the emphasis has been on faster twists and higher ballistic-coefficient (BC) bullets. Hornady has exploited this very well with its Creedmoor, PRC and ARC cartridges. With its RPM (Rebated Precision Magnum) line of cartridges, Weatherby combined fast twists with what it does best—high velocity—and the company has created a new .257-caliber cartridge called the 25 Weatherby RPM. Introduced in 1963, the .284 Win. was a failure by most any…
