Nearly every shooter understands the basic principles of marksmanship: position, grip, sight alignment, breathing, trigger control and follow-through. But something not frequently talked about outside of highly competitive or specialist training circles is the concept of natural point of aim (NPOA).

The most likely reason is that you did not take the time to establish your NPOA. So what is it? US Army TC 3-22.9 Rifle Marksmanship defines the natural…

Stoeger has introduced the latest version of its STR-9 line of handguns, the STR-9 Thinline+. Like every pistol in the STR family, the Thinline+ is built on Stoeger’s proven striker-fired, semi-auto platform. What makes it different is how it carries. The slim, 1-inch-wide slide rides close to the body to stay out of the way, while the standard-size grip gives shooters a solid, confident hold—making it easy to shoot as well as carry. The STR-9 Thinline+ refines that mixture of ease of carry and shootability even further. Its ported barrel and lower overall profile reduces printing and lowers the bore…

Introduction Much has been written about physical prepping for a future societal collapse. However, what about the mental and behavioral side of preparation? Is it possible that Christians will live through part or all of the Tribulation? If your children are crying due to hunger, would you accept the mark of the Beast to feed them? Are you willing to die for your faith and/or other convictions? These are tough questions, but we need to face them. In the future, whether it’s a grid-down blackout, an economic depression, riot-ravaged neighborhood, war-torn country or a pandemic-plagued world, are you emotionally ready…

Vortex Optics made headlines in 2022 when it was selected to provide the Next Generation Squad Weapons–Fire Control (NGSW-FC) system for the U.S. Army’s NGSW program. That has led to both securing additional military optics contracts and the resulting advanced technology trickling down to civilian products. Both of those are evident in the release of the company’s AMG 1-10X 24 mm FFP, the world’s shortest and lightest FFP 1-10X low-power variable optic (LPVO), to the civilian market. Vortex’s AMG 1-10X 24 mm FFP is the world’s shortest and lightest FFP 1-10X low-power variable optic and is designed to be used…
