Know-How: Fix It In the Field

The last thing most hunters want to do is carry more stuff. But much like a first-aid kit can save the day, a collection of basic gun maintenance and repair items comes in handy if your firearm goes down in the middle of a hunt—especially if you’re miles (or days) away from your shop. Here are some essentials that won't take up too much space.

The Right Way to Clean Your Guns

Your beloved deer rifle, duck shotgun and the rest of your firearms want to be faithful and true. They are among the few things we will ever own and use that can be passed down through generations. But they can only survive the hours at the range and the trips into the marshes and forests, no matter the weather, if we care for them properly.
