Whether you’re heading to the backcountry on a hunt or out for a weekend excursion camping, there are few gear essentials as necessary as trekking poles. When my excursions take me into the high deserts and forests of New Mexico, one piece of kit that you will always find on my person is a good set of trekking poles. Trekking poles have a myriad of uses, and here are five reasons why you should almost always carry a pair of trekking poles.

We have a new world record, at least for now. Charlie Melton, a retired United States Navy SEAL sniper, shot a 40-inch target at 5,000 yards, smashing all previous records.

A team of Russian shooters claims it broke the long range world record, shooting a 1-meter target at 4,604 yards or approximately 2.6 miles away!

Long range shooting is a discipline that requires quality gear. Typically the equipment needed for long range shooting is expensive. Now and then a company will offer a piece of kit that is well made and moderately priced. One such product that I have tested extensively over the course of this year is the Bushnell Legend T-Series Tactical Spotting Scope.

After several months of teasing us with pictures on Instagram and Facebook, Kinetic Research Group has finally released the Bravo Chassis!

How do you tell if a riflescope is first or second focal plane?

From watching the video, it appears that Kalashnikov will continue the trend towards modernizing its rifles with a heavy Western influence.

Leveraging an already successful moniker, Colt has re-purposed the Trooper name for their new rifle, the Colt Trooper Patrol Carbine.

Long range shooting is an expensive endeavor. A good rifle, nice scope and ancillary gear can easily set a marksman back several thousand dollars. Shooters on a budget, or those who want to get in a lot of training repetitions, may pick up a rifle that mimics their main long-range rifle relative to weight and feel, but that uses a less expensive round.
