Building upon the success of its 2015 Long Range School program, NRA Outdoors recently announced that it will be offering even more courses in 2016. On top of that, they announced a "Practical Hunting Rifleman School," this time on the east coast. Spots in each course have been selling like hotcakes, and the class sports partners like Weatherby, Huskimaw, Swarovski, Hornady Ammunition and Caldwell Shooting Supplies. American Hunter wanted to get an inside look at one of the classes, and so Web Managing Editor Shawn Skipper recently journeyed to Peacemaker National Training Center in Glengary, West Virginia to get a refresher in practical riflecraft. The ensuing gallery offers a look at just what our friends at NRA Outdoors are offering. Be sure to keep an eye out for more coverage in our print edition in the coming months.

How Can Hunters Travel Out of State With Suppressed Firearms?

Getting federal and state agencies out of the way of the citizens who wish to use suppressors to make their guns more polite to their ears and to their neighbors’ is an ongoing, complex and multifaceted effort. There is, however, progress being made thanks to the Trump administration.

Hardware Review: Browning BAR MK 4 Hunter

First, the Browning Automatic Rifle addressed in this article is not the renowned 1918 BAR of military fame. I’ve actually seen an American Rifleman editor hunt hogs with a reproduction 1918 BAR. While it was a spectacle to behold, it’s probably not the optimal choice for the deer woods, but hey, who am I to judge? The Browning BAR we’re talking about in this article is the iconic hunting rifle.
