As my South Carolina duck season came to a slow, but steady end, I feared my waterfowl hunting days were over until next fall. So, when I was given the chance to hunt snow geese the first weekend of February (in Arkansas, no less) I jumped at the chance. In addition to hunting in a […]

I’ve tested a lot, really a lot, of guns in my time as a gun writer. I saw this one from Ruger come out and thought, “I must try it.” Why? I’m always looking at guns with a few questions in mind, particularly regarding The WON and our readership. First of all: Would a woman […]

Shooting season in the winter is fun because it introduces new challenges to overcome, such as how to shoot in crazy weather. But it’s also very cold and nobody likes to be cold. I know many shooters that only shoot in the summer – because they can’t stand the cold (and I would be one […]
