Technique

The goal is perfection, but perfection in this game is unattainable. However, there is a way to ensure more grip-and-grins and fewer sob stories. 

Absolutely nothing else matters if we can’t hold the rifle steady.

The author finds a good coues buck at last light. He has to sprint 1300 yards and then shoot steeply uphill through a thin screen of grass. Should he take the shot?

The author faces an edge-of-dusk opportunity at a huge buck, but he’s shooting an unproven prototype cartridge. Should he take the shot?

This is how I set up a scope so it can receive the maximum reasonable amount of damage and maintain its zero.

The variety of ways to get your waterfowl shells and accessories into the field can be characterized in two ways: big and boxy.

What long-range practice does is it makes those 40-yard-and-in-whitetail shots feel like chip shots, and when you head West, and a velvet-racked muley has his face stuffed in a herbaceous plant at 62 yards, you can draw, anchor, and execute properly.

Today, when youth interest is waning in the outdoors it’s even more important to get them outside and involved in the hunting lifestyle early and often.

Two hunters are presented with back-to-back shots at big aoudad rams. The first is straightforward, the second steeply uphill and distant. Should they take the shots?
