“Tag: Shot Show”

With its new Haley Heath ErgoHunter Adrenaline Series, Buck Knives is challenging the misconception that knives are only for big, strong men, and is bringing the needs of the small-handed hunter—which implies females but we all know some men have small hands, too—into the fold.

Alert: Bear sighting at SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nev.! Oh, whew. Not that kind of bear.

We swung by the Barnett Crossbows booth to check out the company's new bow prototype the Vengeance.

"Lightweight" continues to be the buzzword for new rifles this year. The new CVA Accura Mountain Rifle is no exception.

The numbers are not in yet, but I’ll be surprised if this show does not set an attendance record. Wading through the sea of gunning humanity has been a challenge; nonetheless I have found a few more nuggets that tripped my trigger.

What does it mean when a gun is deemed a "women's rifle?" For some it simply means cutting down the length and painting it pink, but Savage's new Lady Hunter rifle challenges that tendency, offering performance and durability in an attractive, lightweight package. Savage achieved a lighter, shorter barrel by removing weight from the forend, and included a higher comb to better suit women's necks.

There's no denying it—wild hog populations have skyrocketed in recent years... and so has the interest in hunting the surprisingly resilient boars.

When I was young (how I regret that phrase), the old guys used to bore me with stories of how much better the hunting was, how much better the guns were, how much better—and simpler—cars and trucks were or even how much prettier the girls were when they were young. Now that I am among the old guys I am sometimes tempted to wax similarly. But was it really better 20, 30, 40 or even 50 years ago?

It's that time of year again—The SHOT (Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade) Show is back. SHOT Show is the world's largest and most comprehensive trade show for shooting, hunting and law enforcement industries, and the AmericanHunter.org team will be on hand at the Sands Expo & Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nev. from Monday, Jan. 14 to Friday, Jan. 18 in order to bring you all the latest news and releases.
