As a hunter, I am always looking for opportunities to challenge myself. When I was given the chance to review a Volquartsen  firearm, I knew right away what I wanted to attempt. I remembered reading the Wyoming Game & Fish regulations on turkey hunting that mentioned a change regarding the firearm requirements for turkey hunting. […]

In my younger years, I couldn’t wait for winter’s arrival. The first big snowfall meant making snow forts, sledding, or even hitting the ski slopes. As I’ve aged, I don’t enjoy the cold season quite as much. Maybe it’s that every ache and pain is more noticeable with frigid temperatures, or maybe I just don’t […]

Last year, Remington Arms Company rolled out a line of pump-action firearms featuring 14-inch barrels, no stocks, no pistol grips and measuring slightly longer than 26 inches.

Oh, the glorious life of a 3-gunner … travel, weekends spent with friends and hours and hours of shooting.

I’ve shot many different Springfield Armory firearms and felt excited to get the opportunity to take the new 1911 TRP 10mm RMR [MSRP: $2,507] to the range.
