The Southern Shooting Center is located on Highway 3185 just outside of Thibodaux, La., and offers up to 300-yard rifle ranges and 30 cemented benches.

The Ruger LCP (Lightweight Compact Pistol) is only 5 inches long, .82 inches wide and carries 7 rounds of .380 Auto cartridges. Here it is shown with the newly designed Crimson Trace Laser Grips. This small dog barks and bites

There are many ways to determine you have arrived.

The Optima Elite break-action rifle in .45-70 is everything it’s advertised to be and more. It’s pictured with Hornady LeveRevolution ammunition. Optima Elite .45-70 will ‘wallop’ deer

The late, great Robert Ruark wrote for many of the big outdoor mags in the 1950s and ’60s, and began a series of columns that would become one of the all-time hunting classics, entitled “The Old Man and the Boy.”

This polished carbon-steel pipe was sprayed with heavy salt-content water for 60 hours. The left side, which was left “in the white,” had serious corrosion that will result in pitting of the surface. The right side was coated once with revolutionary new S New protectant perfect for duck marsh

With teal season beginning this month, and the full-fledged duck season only a little while behind it, the annual trek to the salt marshes of our coastline will begin. And thus again will begin the annual battle of all waterfowlers, the fight against rust.

Before the Heller ruling, handgun ownership was illegal in the District of Columbia. Heller opens a can of wormsv

If you are a firearms enthusiast, by now you have heard of the Jun 26 decision by the Supreme Court of the United States in the Heller case.

The author signed books in the Second Amendment Foundation’s booth at the NRA Conference May 16-18 in Louisville, Ky. Goodies galore at NRA convention

The 137th National Rifle Association Annual Meetings and Exhibits, held May 16-18 in Louisville, Ky., had a little down-home flavor for the Louisiana folks who attended.

The Shooting Crony is light, inexpensive and incredibly easy to use. This gear makes shooting life easier

After World War II, in the late 1940s and the decade following, the golden age of shooting known as the “Wildcatting Era” began. Young men returned from the war with a shooting jones, and discovered a shortage of bullets. Many began rolling their own to feed their habit.

Possession of a handgun, even in one’s own home, was illegal in Washington D.C. until the law was tested in the Federal Court of Appeals for D.C., where it was ruled unconstitutional. D.C. gun case — what’s going on?

You’ve probably read it a thousand times. Read it once more here, and realize your rights to own firearms can hinge on the upcoming Supreme Court interpretation of this particular amendment:

This shows the accuracy potential exhibited by the author’s Remington Model 673 Guide Rifle — so designated because it is a short, easily carried rifle in the hard-hitting (and very flat-shooting) .300 Short Action Ultra Magnum (SAUM). Model 673’s beauty in eyes of beholder

Beauty and versatility are in the eyes of the beholder, and most everyone I know in the shooting business is aware I have long been searching for the perfect hunting rifle.

Naturally, you can't clean this rifle from the chamber end, and cleaning with rods and implements from the muzzle can damage the crown and lands where the bullet leaves the barrel. A great solution to this problem is the Hoppe's BoreSnake. Once-a-year cleaning all that’s necessary

Each year I wonder how many sportsmen drag a firearm out of the closet in anticipation of the upcoming season, and find a patina of rust on the barrel or receiver, or worse, patches of rust that have actually eaten into the finish and marred it.

If you’re legally carrying your firearm, law-enforcement authorities have no right to seize it during a traffic stop. You don’t lose gun rights in traffic stop

“Do I look like a thug?”

The bullets were Federal Fusion, .270 Winchester Short Magnum in 150-grain weight. This is a ½-inch, 100-yard group. Firing a group like this at 100 yards is exceptional from a rifle that allows interchangeable barrels. Merkel KR-1 approaches the ultimate

The hottest news in rifles as we approached and entered the 21st century was the proliferation of “short-fat” cartridges, and rifles to shoot them.
