Photos by Regine Trias / IG: @reginetrias There’s a trend growing within the long range shooting niche, one of combining multiple sub-disciplines with the resulting knowledge and equipment trending back up the chains backwards to enrich each of those disciplines individually. The intersection between tactical, hunting, and competitive long range shooting can be one that results in equipment born out of real-world necessity and based on existing standards where it counts, and a small company called R3 Development (shortened to R3D) has created a set of carbon fiber-based leg replacements for the venerable MDT Ckye-Pod that hit that nail right…

When the subject of recoil management comes up, we’ve noticed that an element of machismo often comes with it. Who cares if a weapon kicks like a mule? Lean into the recoil and suck it up, princess! say the self-proclaimed experts with their chests puffed out. Admittedly, you shouldn’t be developing gnarly shoulder bruises after shooting a 10/22, but recoil management is a worthwhile consideration for other weapons — shotguns are a prime example. We’ve all seen videos of young or inexperienced shooters picking these guns up for the first time, and nearly toppling over after the first round. More…
The SAP sling is available in many colors and offers modern match guns a highly functional cuff setup.The steadier your rifle, the tighter your groups. Good shooting support gear will help with that.Shooting support gear is an interesting topic. As of right now, there are more companies producing more shooting accessories than ever before, and a good number of them are unfortunately poorly made … or just downright snake oil. Not every sling is equal, not every tripod is equal, and there are certainly a lot of bipods out there.So, let’s look at where the need for support gear started…

The Vermont Senate has moved forward with S. 329, a bill that would establish a statewide ban on firearms in bars and restaurants that serve alcohol. The legislation, which passed on preliminary approval along party lines, aims to replace a long-stalled Burlington charter change with a uniform state law—though it faces a likely veto from Governor Phil Scott, who has expressed skepticism regarding its enforceability.

Photos by Iain Harrison and Muneki Samejina Concept cars push the boundaries of design and engineering. In the early days of the automotive industry, automakers used concept cars to generate attention. These were the days before internet marketing, so companies had to take a more hands-on approach with gauging public opinion. This was a good way for carmakers to show what they could do and get ahead of the competition. Today, concept cars are still used to showcase what designers and engineers can accomplish when they put their minds to it. These cars contrast the practical-minded commonplace and offer a…
My first scope was not a Leupold. A Leupold was something to aspire to. At $59.50 a 4x Leupold cost 10 bucks more than a K4, and 20 more than the scope I bought. Which set me back a little more than my first deer rifle. My first Leupold has faded in memory. Perhaps a 2-7x my friend Bob recommended, it may have arrived with a rifle swap. The 2-7x on Bob’s Featherweight Model 70 chambered for the .270 Win cartridge had accounted for many bucks, including a long-tined mule deer that had hunkered most of October in a cut…
