“sheep”

The Fieldcraft is a sweet little rifle for a mountain hunt for sheep, goats or elk, where sometimes even your boot laces are too heavy.

Not everyone who attends an NRA Outdoors event will kill a trophy sheep—but they’ll be given an opportunity to make the most of world-class training and facilities just the same as the folks who will. It’s hard to argue with that.

A possible new archery world record desert bighorn sheep was taken recently in—of all places—southern California. On December 20, 2011, Brett Scott arrowed a ram that green scores 180 7/8 inches on the Pope and Young measurement system. The horns measure 35 1/2 and 37 inches in length with 16 1/2-inch bases. If, after the 60-day mandatory drying period, the horn shrinkage is less than an inch, Scott’s ram will be a new world record for archery desert bighorn.

Voormi has turned the concept of natural-fiber technical garments into an art form. Merino wool sourced exclusively from sheep in the Rocky Mountains combined with the company’s proprietary weaving process results in comfortable, lightweight, water-resistant clothing.

DPMS President Randy Luth used one of his company’s AR-10 offerings, a Panther LR-260L chambered in .260 Rem., to make a 330-yard shot on his sheep hunt.
