Nextorch North America, the primary U.S. distributor of global manufacturer Nextorch Industries, is celebrating the company’s 20 years of providing lighting solutions for consumers, law enforcement professionals and military forces around the world. The firm’s name has yet to gain the familiarity of some of its competitors, but brand recognition has grown significantly since 2023, when it opened a stateside headquarters in Cleveland, Tenn., and distribution center in Tukwila, Wash. The company holds nearly 150 patents and in 2010 was one of the founding members of the Portable Lights American Trade Organization (PLATO)—the group that sets industry standards for output, dust…
Although it was about 30 years ago now, I still remember how excited I was to pull together my first handgun rig. A friend of mine had invited me to a local shooting range attached to a “cop shop” to try out his revolver. It was a snub-nose .38 Special that was loud and cantankerous to shoot, and I was hooked before emptying the cylinder down range for the second time. Once the handgunning bug bites, folks rarely settle for owning just one. However, money was tight at the time, since I was working and going to school part-time. The…
A few weeks ago, I drove out to a local reservoir for an afternoon of fossil hunting. My route took me across the reservoir’s outlet, where a few fishermen were posted up with catfish rigs. For curiosity’s sake, I parked and walked up to the railing to take a look at the water.Pinned between the rocky banks of the narrow channel were hundreds of common carp and smallmouth buffalo feeding in the current, with the occasional longnose gar surfacing for air. In an instant, my plans for the day were rewritten.Thirty minutes later, I was back at the outlet with…
If you’re like most Americans, you live in a populated area; you have neighbors on either side of you; and, if you’re lucky, you have a not-too-big backyard. While I couldn’t find any statistical information regarding the number of hunters that live in urban areas, the fact is that over 80% of Americans live within city limits, so I think it’s safe to assume that the majority of hunters also live within the confines of a town or city.If you’re a hunter who owns a bird dog and lives in an urban area, that can present some training challenges. Packing…

00:00:11 Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of Cutting the Distance. ELK season is right around the corner, and I’d be lying to say that this isn’t my favorite time of the year to record podcasts because I get to talk about ELK. I got to talk about ELK calls, ELK calling, the strategy, the what works most of the time, what works not very often, what can improve your odds of when you go to make that call that that bowl ends up into archery range or muzzle at range or whatever your your your weapon is. And…
New York Governor Kathy Hochul publicly attributes Monday’s mass shooting in Manhattan to Nevada’s “weak gun laws,” emphasizing that New York’s stringent firearm regulations are ineffective when firearms can be acquired from other states. Hochul, who has implemented strict measures including an assault weapons ban and a strengthened Red Flag Law, argues that the incident highlights the need for Congress to enact a national assault weapons ban to protect innocent lives. Following the shooting, which resulted in four fatalities before the assailant took his own life, Hochul pointed out that the weapon used was legally obtained in Nevada, a state…
“…The act of intentionally or unintentionally causing multiple deaths through the use of a vehicle. This can occur in various ways, including deliberate attacks, reckless driving, or accidents caused by negligence or impaired driving…” In this article we are not talking about accidental vehicular casualties, and Lord knows there are far too many of them in everyday life. No, we are talking about the deaths and injuries that result from someone deliberately driving a vehicle, statistically usually a car but occasionally a much more deadly and difficult-to-stop truck, into pedestrians either on either side of the street or occasionally in…
NYC shooter Shane Devon Tamura legally maintained his concealed weapons permit despite having a history of mental health holds in Nevada, revealing critical gaps in the system. The Las Vegas Metro Police Department had guidelines that disqualify individuals with serious mental health issues, but Tamura obtained his permit in 2022 and purchased multiple firearms after being placed under mental health holds, raising serious questions about the effectiveness of existing laws. New York officials, including Governor Kathy Hochul, point to looser gun laws in states like Nevada as culpable for the tragic incident that led to the deaths of four victims,…
