Positional shooting is typically associated with competition and tactical shooting. In fact, in my experience most hunters don’t think much about positional shooting or practice it regularly. Many hunters do little more than pull their rifle out of the safe and shoot five to 10 rounds from a bench or the prone position at 100 yards to check zero before they head out into the field in pursuit of game. From a seated stance on the slope, the author rests his rifle across an inverted frame pack to build a stable shooting platform. In my opinion, as sportsmen, we owe…

Photos by Frank Thai Once described as “an AR-18 shoved up the arse of an EM2,” the SA80 continued the British defense establishment’s fascination with bullpups, which started in the late 1940s. Following the .280 British cartridge debacle where Winston Churchill bent the knee to adopt the American T65 round, the Brits were saddled with a service rifle that was longer than they wanted, heavier than needed, and chambered in a cartridge overly powerful for the role it was supposed to fill. Conceived at the height of the Cold War, the SA80 was supposed to address all of these concerns.…
The fight doesn’t end with the last shot. Here’s what you need to do in the moments after a defensive shooting.Most of the conversation in the concealed carry world centers on the fight itself: draw speed, shot placement, threat assessment and the mechanics of stopping a threat. That’s essential training, and none of it should be shortchanged. Nevertheless, there’s another aspect that doesn’t get nearly enough attention:What happens in the minutes after the shooting stops, before the first squad car rolls onto the scene?The gap between the last shot fired and the moment a badge walks through the door can…

The idealized concept immediately took root and blossomed: the Royal Air Force saved Britain from invasion in 1940. The conventional wisdom holds that Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s legendary “few” handed Nazi Germany its first defeat in World War II and paved the road to eventual victory. But was it true? In this poster, a German bomber is shot down by a British fighter during the Battle of Britain. Image: NARA After eight decades, it’s time for some objectivity about this admittedly heroic stand. When Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, the Western allies joined in a belated effort to counter Adolf…

Many MAGA loyalists are feeling burned and scammed right now—promised a return to freedom and less government overreach during the campaign, only to see policies that expand centralized control, digitize everyday life, get us entagled in more middle east wars, and build systems for constant tracking under the “America First” label.The Trump administration has accelerated measures that turn personal identity into a government-monitored credential, paving the way for broader surveillance and financial oversight. We’re looking at digitized IDs that log your movements, frameworks for traceable digital currencies, tokenized assets that put everything on a surveilled ledger, massive data consolidation through…
