Last year, I was fortunate to attend the annual Freedom Group New Products Seminar. It was 3 days packed full of exciting product presentations from the Freedom Group's massive catalog of shooting-industry brands. Two afternoons were spent at the shooting range, where media folks like myself were given open access to shoot a bunch of cool stuff—including suppressed rifles from Advanced Armament Corporation.

We're in the heart of turkey season. If you've been over to see entries in the Feather Trail Photo Contest, it looks like a lot of NAHC members have already filled their turkey tags on some great longbeards. I'll bet some of those birds were killed over turkey decoys. Today, I'll unbox the newest decoy from the Avian-X lineup. Remember, share your comments!

We all recognize that our varmint and predator rifles fire many more rounds than our big game rifles. And because the game we hunt with those rifles is so much smaller, they must deliver a higher level of accuracy as well. More use and a high degree of accuracy both dictate we use thorough cleaning methods on these guns. And while most shooters do a good job of cleaning a rifle's bore, there's one part of a rifle's interior that almost no one cleans, mainly because it's impossible to reach it without the right tools.

There are certain turkey calling and hunting tips that show up every season—blog after blog, article after article, video after video. There's a reason these "stale" tips resurface. It's because hunters are a stubborn lot, and oftentimes proven advice needs to be pounded into our heads before we accept it. Other times, we just need to see something work for ourselves.

It's turkey and shed antler hunting season. While gobblers and piles of bone might have your full attention, spring is also a great time to scout for big game hunting areas that you can revisit this fall. Watch today's video for some spring scouting tips.

Country star Luke Bryan makes millions while I make . . . well . . . not even close! I’ve never been named ACM (Academy of Country Music) Entertainer of the Year, and I don’t hang out with Jason Aldean and Willie Robertson.

Whether you’re having issues with a lack of turkeys lusting after your decoy or simply organizing for an upcoming hunt, you might want to consider bringing your decoy to life.

We’ve all seen the “Obama Named Firearms Salesman of the Year” headlines, posters and parodies during the past few years at gun shops and on Second Amendment blogs, but when you really get down to serious number crunching, the figures are, well ... quite staggering.
