The ROSE Program was introduced Jan. 12th, 2023, under Lena Miculek. The ROSE Program is a shooting program created specifically for women. It aims to create a community of women in shooting that can learn about shooting and self-defense. It also aims to build confidence in women. I had the opportunity to talk to some of the women who are part of the Rose team at the annual 2026 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Houston, Texas. Olivia Gallivan is the firearm product manager for ROSE, and I had the chance to briefly interview her. When asked what her favorite…
I travel for work somewhat frequently. With rising costs and limited budgets, I try to avoid checking a bag when traveling: It’s up to $100 (round trip) in some instances. This, of course, comes with its own challenges—I can’t bring a pocketknife with me on these trips, and I have to be hyper aware of everything in both my carryon and my backpack to make sure I don’t run afoul of TSA. Something that happens fairly frequently is that a call will go out at the gate for people to check their carry-on luggage. Overhead space is limited, as checked…
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) has trimmed Form 4 processing time significantly. That trend began roughly five years ago, but it has accelerated in noteworthy fashion during the recent tsunami of submissions to take possession of suppressors, short-barreled rifles and short-barreled shotguns. In early 2021, it took somewhere around 280 days for BATFE to approve a Form 4, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation. Individuals applying electronically in August 2026 waited only 9 days. Old-school paper submissions took about a month. Enthusiasts submitting “trust” paperwork had longer delays, however. They were 33 and 34 days,…
Question: I live in Michigan’s lower peninsula and recently purchased a property in the upper peninsula. I love hunting up there but have had a hard time patterning deer.I’ve always looked for food and bedding and then found their paths in between. However, where I am in the UP, there are no significant mast crops or ag. The deer primarily feed on browse in the cedar swamps and maple stands that exist in this area. Therefore, everything around them is a potential food source and they don’t have to travel to get a meal.My question is, with the absence of…
00:00:04 Speaker 1: Good Lord, it’s a new show. 00:00:05 Speaker 2: This week we’ve got Bryce Stubbs in the studio, a Montana kid who just won the Food Network’s 100 cooks and walked away with a nice little chunk of scratch. We got Colorado Bears are on the tears. Let’s try to make a rhyme. 00:00:23 Speaker 1: Colorado Bears are on the tears. Or are they? Giannis will tell us. 00:00:29 Speaker 2: It’s a better than ever time to get that suppressor you’ve been looking for. Trump generated something of a national eye roll by renaming Lake…

A lot of state’s bow openers will start in a matter of days. Just because deer season opens doesn’t mean the thermostat will drop. Prime velvet destinations or states with September openers might include hot, buggy conditions. While these aren’t ideal deer hunting conditions, that doesn’t mean you can’t find success, you just might have to sweat a good bit to do it.Hot weather hunting isn’t easy, and it definitely isn’t always fun. It has a way of perpetuating common deer hunting myths that makes many hunters feel better about sitting out the early season. If you’re not careful, you…
If you need proof that the competition for duck hunting honey holes can lead to toxic—and potentially lethal—behavior, here it is. On August 28, 2026, 23-year-old Carson McKoin of Monroe, Louisiana, was convicted in federal court for assaulting U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agents. But what’s particularly notable about the conviction is what prompted it.Instead of talking to the potential hunters, McKoin “fired a shot toward” them. It goes without saying that intentionally shooting toward other others is appalling and illegal behavior. But the boat wasn’t being driven by hunters; it was full of a team of “federal fish and…
Suppressing a firearm is the polite thing to do, for everyone from the hunting buddy sitting beside you in the field to your neighbor at the next bench on the range. Using suppressors allow us greater opportunities to exercise our right to bear arms and an armed society is…. well, we all know that quote. This is the idea behind the products and the name of Polite Society Industries, a new suppressor manufacturing company. Polite Society Industries is a new suppressor manufacturing company located in Tampa, Fla. Polite Society Industries is starting out by launching six new suppressors. All…
