Back in Ancient Rome, students used wax tablets to write lessons, solve problems and practice their work. When mistakes happened, the wax was simply smoothed flat so the student could begin again. The Romans called this tabula rasa, which translates to “blank slate.” No frustration. No emotional spiral. No dramatic announcement that they were “just not naturally gifted at Roman academia.” They simply reset the surface and kept learning. Shooters could use a little more of that sort of energy. Too many shooters step onto the range carrying the emotional residue of every missed shot, every bad stage and every…
No stranger to rebirth, Colt has recently spun off an optics division to make sure that, in a world where optics are considered to be standard equipment, a fully kitted-out gun can be all-pony. To achieve this goal, in addition to introducing magnified optics, Colt is also offering a rifle red-dot and magnifier, along with a handgun red dot. The CSQ-1 is Colt’s new flagship rifle red-dot optic. The CSQ-1 uses the CSQ Multirole MRAD ranging and BDC reticle. The CSQ-1 is a closed emitter red-dot optic designed for rifles. It has a 7075-T6 aluminum housing with a 1.25 x…
When I first got into shooting, I was obsessed with doing so on the cheap. So I bought Romanian WASRs and SARs in 7.62×39 mm and 5.45×39 mm. Back then, a case of centerfire surplus ammo could be had for under $100 and would last you through a few weeks of carefree plinking at the range. If you were into World War II firearms at that time, you had an even better market; Mosin-Nagants were around $50, and 440-round sealed “spam-cans” of ammo were around $45! (If we only knew then, we would have bought a shipping container and filled…
When Judge Wesley Hendrix of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas held on August 5, 2026, that the National Firearms Act’s (NFA) registration and approval requirements for suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and short-barreled shotguns exceed Congress’s constitutional authority—this occurred after Congress eliminated the NFA taxes on those items—we entered an exciting but uncertain time. This court order was stayed until August 12 to give the Department of Justice (DOJ) time to appeal, but that stay expired without an appeal. This left gun owners asking what this means for those who want to purchase these items. To help answer…

In partnership with Lipsey’s, Smith & Wesson recently re-introduced two of its classic Night Guard revolvers, the Models 386 and 396, which are chambered for the .357 Magnum and .44 Special, respectively. We had a chance to take a closer look at the Model 386 in our latest “Gun of the Week” episode above. “It is, if you will, kind of the apex of the fighting revolver,” American Rifleman Executive Editor Jay Grazio said. “It’s got a 3-inch barrel. It’s .357 Magnum, which, as you may or may not know, will also fire .38 Special, and it is a seven-shot…

This is the first instalment of a three-part elk hunting story by FHF founder, Paul Lewis. Stay tuned for the next two segments.The silence was the worst part. Not the sudden silence of elk themselves, but the silence right after the shot, that sudden crushing, anxiety-filled pit in my stomach. For the entire morning of September 21st, the river bottom I was hunting was a chaotic, screaming, bugling rut fest. Now, the big satellite bull, the one I had just wounded with a poorly placed arrow, had vanished into the head-high marsh grass. The herd had fallen quiet, melting away…
