Smith and Wesson’s addition of the semi-automatic SW22 Victory fills a void in the company’s lineup and may appear to be a blast from Smith’s past, with aesthetics similar to the company’s discontinued Model 22A. Learn more about it with the video embedded above, hosted by American Rifleman's Kelly Young.

Tips & Tricks Learned from an Ongoing Study of Elk

The only thing I can confidently say about elk hunting is that education is ongoing. After decades of autumns spent in elk country, I have learned a few hard and fast guidelines to heighten my odds of success, even without standing over an elk at the end of the hunt. Elk hunting is changing from season to season. Every lesson you learn from a previous season of hunting has merit in overcoming the low odds already stacked against you.
