I first heard about the frontal shot on an elk from a friend and watched a few clips on YouTube to try and learn more about it. My interest was peaked, but the shot still seemed risky to me. Shooting right at the chest of an elk doesn’t seem to leave much margin for error. Not to mention, in my dozen years of guiding elk hunters, I’d never seen anyone attempt it.Then, in 2020, I went elk hunting with Jason Phelps. While backpack hunting in Colorado, we started talking about frontal shots. Jason had a lot of experience with them,…

When it comes to natural stuff that happens, the visual and auditory display of lightning’s unhaltered power is unmatched. It’s mysterious, far beyond the control of man, yet almost fully understood by science, predictable to a degree, inflicting instantaneous and oddly specific justice on…

One of liberty’s champions, past NRA President Allan D. Cors died on August 10, 2026. For more than a half-century he worked tirelessly, often behind the scenes, to protect the rights and freedoms of American gun owners.

He was an esteemed collector, historian, distinguished shooter, avid hunter, and…

One of the many hazards of growing older is, at some point, you wake up thinking you’re all caught up with a particular technology, only to find you’ve been left in the dust before your first cup of coffee is gone. I can think of many examples in my life, but red-dot sights (RDS) are the most recent reminder that time is no friend to me. When I received my first Army-issued, battery-powered carbine optic in the early 1990s, it wasn’t exactly a standard-issue item. In those days, RDS were commercial products that lacked features like sleep mode, “shake awake”…
