“nra golden bullseye”

American Hunter editors announce the top guns and gear of the past year.

Brownells' Frank Brownell is named the NRA Golden Bullseye Pioneer of the Year award winner at the 143rd NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Indianapolis.

Editor in Chief J. Scott Olmsted this morning presented outdoor-industry leaders with American Hunter’s best-in-class awards.

The Franchi Intensity, in many ways, delivers on its name. It capitalizes on some of the industry’s most respected technologies to reliably harness the most powerful shotshell payloads, and it does so in a slim, attractive package that betrays its middle-of-the-road price point. Hard to argue with any scattergun that offers both versatility and value.

The 2016 ATA Show features a little bit of everything when it comes to new products.

The SPG Company, makers of last year's new line of Browning hunting packs—which received American Hunter's NRA Golden Bullseye Award—is better than ever in 2016.

When American Hunter announced its 2016 Golden Bullseye honorees late last year, it did indeed name products in 10 categories that met or exceeded those standards. One of the standouts—and a seasonably relevant one, too—was the 2016 Ammo of the Year: Winchester’s Shot-Lok.

Few firearms companies have the demographic reach of O.F. Mossberg & Sons. The North Haven, Connecticut-based firm hasn’t yet reached its centennial (that’ll come in 2019), but its stamp can be found on the firearms carried into battle by our armed forces, in the hands of law enforcement personnel nationwide, slung over the backs of big game hunters and gently resting in the corner of duck blinds north and south. If you own firearms, there’s a very good chance you own a Mossberg.
