Q: I have always been a rifle and handgun shooter, with little shotgun experience, and I am a little confused about the “point of hold” shown in the pattern illustrations of our magazine. Is the point of hold, or point of aim, placed differently relative to the target depending on the shotgun’s use? A: There are two types of shotgun patterning: One determines how your shotgun’s barrel, choke, shot size, shot charge and brand of shotshell perform in terms of downrange pattern density, and a second determines where the shotgun actually places its pattern in terms of point of aim…

(Continued from Part 2. This concludes the article.) Timelines Given As we listen to all the chatter, day in and day out about a widening war in Europe and war with China, we can see some recurring messages in the reporting.  How many times have you heard that NATO needs to be ready for a war with Russian in 3-5 years or that China will likely invade Taiwan by 2030.  There are a few variations of the dates but regardless of the actual dates we need to ask why NATO and our Asia-Pacific Allies need to be ready by those…

Today marks the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere and the first day of winter. The Winter Solstice is the day of minimum insolation, each year. The painting above, titled Winter, is by Ivan Shishkin, circa 1890.  Because of Seasonal Lag, even though the days will start getting longer tomorrow, the coldest days of the year are typically in January. — On December 21, 1620, William Bradford and the Mayflower Pilgrims landed on what is now known as Plymouth Rock in Plymouth, Massachusetts. — SurvivalBlog Writing Contest Today we present another entry for Round…

Simple, inexpensive and supremely easy to use, the new MOE QD Bipod For M-Lok is Magpul’s fastest-mounting bipod model by far, as it takes only about five seconds for the practiced hand to securely affix it to an M-Lok-clad fore-end. Just insert the installation stud into your M-Lok slot of choice, rotate the accessory 45 degrees counterclockwise until the stud is perpendicular to the slot and hand tighten the adjustment knob until the accessory is snug. Each leg can be deployed by either pressing a release button located at its joint or by simply manually pulling it into the downward…

Our 2011 review called it “anything but ordinary,” and 14 years later, that title still sticks for Chiappa’s Rhino revolver. Although the company expanded the Rhino lineup by releasing stainless steel and 10 mm Auto-chambered models earlier this year, the company is launching 2026 by adding a .44 Rem. Mag. Rhino to its catalog. The .44 Rem. Mag. version of the Chiappa Rhino uses a completely re-designed and scaled-up L-Frame. The L-Frame 60DS is a double-action/single-action swing-out cylinder revolver in the format of previous Rhino revolvers with an “inverted” design where the lowest cylinder chamber is fired, resulting in an…

In Texas, a state known for its lack of public lands, the tide may be turning. Though only four percent of land in the state is publicly owned (and of that, only 1 million acres are open to hunting), those numbers are set to grow substantially in coming years.That’s thanks to a 2023 voter-approved $1 billion package, known as the Centennial Parks Conservation Fund, allowing the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) to acquire new state parks and expand existing ones, with a focus on the “golden triangle” area between Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. Importantly, the money can’t be…
