Shotshell ammunition is a bit more complex than centerfire rifle, pistol or revolver ammunition. With shotguns and shotshells, you need to know the gauge of the shotgun and the length of its chamber, but you must also consider shot and payload size and velocity. The total understanding of shotshell ballistics seems more like a soft than hard science, and ironically, when it comes to shotgun shooting, the practice seems to have more feel to it than the absolute of shooting rifles and handguns. To help you better understand shotshells, here’s a look at the basics of shotshell cartridges, shotshell pressures…

As an admitted bass geek, I paid somewhat close attention to the latest Bassmaster Classic, which was held on the Tennessee River earlier this year. A relative newcomer to the scene, Dylan Nutt, took top honors in that prestigious tournament with a three-day bag weighing nearly 67 pounds. The win earned him a cool $300,000, and solidified his place amongst the most talented anglers in the world.His win was predicated on a true understanding of how to use forward facing sonar, the latest iteration of the good old depth finder. This technology, which allows anglers to see and target fish…
To fully trace the origin story of the Daniel Defense H9 Compact, you’d have to go back to the late 1990s, as online firearm forums were gradually supplanting the old rec.guns newsgroup on Usenet. Step into the General Firearms Discussion section of any forum not dedicated to a specific brand and you were stepping into a war zone dominated by two feuding camps: the Glock Fanboys and the 1911 Acolytes were the Jets and the Sharks of these online war zones. The 1911 Sharks liked the short, light trigger that slid horizontally in its track rather than pivoting, and they…
Sightmark launched its first family of prismatic riflescopes: the Strikon FMP (Fixed Magnification Prismatic) and the Strikon VMP (Variable Magnification Prismatic). Developed for modern sporting rifles, home-defense carbines, hunting shotguns and competitive shooting, the Strikon family represents Sightmark’s entry into a growing optic category with the company’s hallmark commitment to rugged, accessible performance. Prismatic riflescopes use a glass-prism system rather than the traditional erector-tube configuration in most scopes. This results in a shorter, more compact optical package that delivers greater edge-to-edge clarity, reduced distortion and a brighter picture without added bulk. The Strikon FMP and VMP bring that technology to…
