Canik ONE Series: Serious Bang for Your Buck
Published: August 3, 2019 { 33 comments }I had handled Canik pistols a couple of years ago at the SHOT show and have a couple of friends that shoot them but was a bit skeptical of how the Century Arms imports were going to perform; after all, they have an MSRP below $325, how good of a gun should you expect at that price point?
The Ultimate Valkyrie AR Build
Published: July 20, 2019 { 4 comments }One persons “ultimate” very well may not be another’s, but I think this build should spark more than a little interest.

Breaking Into Sporting Clays: How and Why to enter the Sporting Clays Game
Published: February 23, 2019 { 1 comment }It’s only natural; hunting is in our genes. Being the best is in our DNA. The evolutionary drive that the spoils go to the winner is built in our cells. So it only makes sense that when shooters and hunters are exposed to a shooting sport that mimics hunting wild game, we embrace it and use it as the yardstick to measure our skills.
