Field Test: Hatsan BT Big Bore Carnivore

The Carnivore can send its .30-caliber, 44-grain payload at a lizard-thumping 860 fps with enough air in the tank for about 20 shots before losing velocity. For the stateside small-gamer, that’s plenty of power in a single tank to get through an average hunt. Refilling a spent tank can be done quickly with the aid of a pre-filled scuba tank and adaptor kit or, using a bit more manpower, a PCP hand pump.

The Puerto Rican Iguana Purge

Culling Puerto Rico’s invasive iguana population is perhaps the most fun you can have with an air rifle.

Benjamin Pioneer Airbow

You've heard of air rifles, we suspect. And you've certainly heard of crossbows. But have you heard of an airbow? Up until this week, we hadn't either—until SHOT Show 2016's Media Day at the Range.

Know-How: Eastern Ways for Coyotes Anywhere

Unlike in the West, hunting Eastern coyotes means thick woods and heavy cover. Use these techniques and tips to meet those challenges head-on in any region.

Squirrel Hunting with Hatsan’s Galatian III Air Rifle

A .25-caliber PCP rifle, Hatsan’s Galatian III is capable of sending a .25 grain pellet at speeds of up to 1,000 fps. For squirrels, rabbits, and even fox and coyote with the right shot placement, death is imminent.

Forget the Lake: It’s Family Day at the Range

Put down that handheld portal to the digital world. Forget about soccer weekend. Take a break from the never-ending chore of yard maintenance. If you hunger for a surefire way to bring the family together in a setting that is guaranteed to generate a grin then plan a family day at your local shooting range.

10 "Can't Miss" Things at the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits

The American Hunter staff is on its way to the 144th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Nasvhille, Tenn. Here's a brief list of some of the "can't miss" events you need to be at this weekend.

Hardware: Gamo Whisper G2

There were two bird seasons when I was a young teenager: grouse in the fall and starlings in the spring. The starlings would invade as soon as the weather started to turn, congregating in noisy flocks near the corncribs on my grandparents’ farm.

Great American Outdoor Show 2015

Bring the Family: NRA showcases shooting, hunting and outdoor fun.

Hardware: Gamo Whisper Fusion Pro

Gamo’s Whisper Fusion Pro air rifle possesses a rather futuristic appearance—especially if your idea of an air rifle is a Red Ryder BB gun. But times change, and the recreational airguns of the 1960s and ’70s have evolved into serious shooting machines, some even suitable for small-game hunting. The Whisper Fusion Pro exemplifies that development.
