Can Competitive Long-Range Shooting Make You a Better Hunter?

Can Competitive Long-Range Shooting Make You a Better Hunter?

Field & Stream — I PICKED A BAD TIME to learn how to shoot. At least, that's what I think as I pack my gear for a long-range shooting class in Grand Junction, Colorado. I've been shooting rifles since I was 13, but a lot has changed since then-mainly the long-range craze.

The Con Artist: Step Inside the Workshop of Decoy Carver J.P. Hand

Field & Stream — J.P. HAND sits at his workbench placing a freshly painted rig of 10 brant decoys into a slot bag while we get ready to hunt in the morning. He constructed each brant from three pieces of Atlantic white cedar with the kind of tools most people have in their woodsheds-a hatchet, some knives, and a bit of sandpaper.

One Wild Ride: A Hunting Road Trip Across America

One Wild Ride: A Hunting Road Trip Across America

Field & Stream — I’m too excited to sleep. I’ve spent most of the night packing, and now that that’s finished, I just lie in bed, awake, staring at the ceiling and running through the contents of every bag in my mind. Did I pack the grouse loads or just pheasant ammo? Did I purchase the magazine plug for my 12-gauge for the duck hunt? Do I have the right Allen key to adjust my bow? Should I pack a .22 in case we go after squirrels? Have I pinned enough elk hunting spots?

The Showstoppers: A Visual Tour of Some of the Most Stunning British Dangerous-Game Guns Ever Mad...

Field & Stream — YOU CAN'T HAVE true romance without a little danger, and no objects embody this truth better than British dangerous-game guns. They are both beautiful and horrible, brutal and graceful, refined and tough as nails. Why do English guns capture the very idea of hunting scary animals in exotic places?

Southeast Alaska is Full of Big Fish, Float Planes, and Nonstop Adventure

Field & Stream — Captain Mike Bunker cuts the engine on our 27-foot Riddle Marine fishing boat and cranks up the music. Liz Johnson, Jesse Liebrecht, and I peer over the rail and look out over the ocean. Around us, small charter boats dot the horizon-all without a doubt chasing cohos and kings.

My First Gun: A Pair of Hand-Me-Downs from Grandpa

My First Gun: A Pair of Hand-Me-Downs from Grandpa

Field & Stream — Over the course of his life, my grandpa gave me two rifles. One was the first gun I ever owned. The other is the only gun that really means something to me. The first rifle was a .30/06 Remington Model Four with a Leupold scope. Even though the gun was a hand-me-down, it looked brand-new.
