New this month:

We have updated the "Companion Rifles" discussion! The new page replaces "Companion Rifles" with better illustrations, more tables, a more in-depth narrative and a new title. Paired Rifles describes how one can use a varmint-caliber rifle load with the same trajectory as that of a big game rifle. The matched trajectories, particularly with the same optics on both rifles, allows one to practice the Kentucky Windage and Tennessee Elevation needed to make consistent hits out to a few hundred yards past the maximum point blank range. Used in concert with the tips and techniques described in Taming Recoil, the shooter can practice with the lighter-kicking rifle and develop confidence in hitting with the bigger rifle while avoiding the punishment involved in shooting hundreds of rounds producing 30, 40, or more foot-pounds of recoil!

Guest Blogs: More and more women, including young moms, are becoming active in the shooting and other outdoor sports. Their experiences and viewpoints are a vital part of the message that shooting and related outdoor sports are a vital part of our culture. A young group of folks at Wild Energy Hunters has agreed donate a few discussions in these and related areas, including green energy. Hunters are among the most dedicated conservationists and, as a group, have significant sensitivity toward intelligent management of the environment. As an example, look at the post from Wild Energy Hunters Photovoltaic electricity in the Great Lakes Region. We can expect that the variety of posts will grow as more contributions are made!
