America’s pronghorn antelope has long struck observers as a beautiful feature of western landscapes, but as an enigma. Why does it run so fast? Why can’t it jump obstacles?

Abandoned by the FBI for the difficulties it created with training new agents, particularly those with smaller hands, it nonetheless has maintained a following among civilian shooters.
