This past August marks 46 years since I raised my right hand and was commissioned as an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps. In the summer of 1980, I entered active duty with a firm sense of civic duty and a deep desire to serve our great nation. Like so many who wear the uniform, I was ready to contribute directly to the defense of freedom. At that time, my understanding of the full scope of individual rights was still developing. If asked about them, I would have spoken about the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution.…

Question: Should I use a mechanical or fixed blade broadhead, and what brands do you recommend?Answer: If I had a dollar for every time I’ve been asked this question, I could probably start manufacturing my own broadheads. Back when I was more of a fixture on the seminar circuit, I fielded this inquiry during every single show. My answer used to be pretty simple and straightforward: Shoot a sharp, durable, fixed-blade head.I started hunting before mechanicals became a thing, and was slow to adopt any broadhead with moving parts.

When I was growing up, my old man and I watched a ton of World War II shows and movies. He got me hooked on watching “Combat!” while telling me about how grandpa fought in the Battle of the Bulge. I loved seeing the GIs with their Garands, Thompsons and BARs fighting the evil Nazis armed with their Mausers and MP40s.
