    Dominion Arms Backpacker 12 Gauge Review

    I want to make this review real quick: this is an inexpensive, very packable shotgun of limited, unique, uses. This is not a general application shotgun for deer, grouse, goose, etc. It’s also not a premium shotgun: fit and finish are on-par with a shotgun that I’d pay $100-$150 for, but locking surfaces are strong…

  • Ruger American Review

    Ruger American Review

    Within the budget bolt action rifle category, the Ruger American is one of the newer designs, near the top price-range in this category, but it also comes with the most features. I think Ruger has done a great job of jamming in a lot of high-end features at a low-ish cost, without making any deal-breaking…

  • Classic Ruger Mini-14 Review

    Classic Ruger Mini-14 Review

    I recently came across a classic, older Ruger Mini-14 that I had to get considering the price. These used to be a bargain compared to AR-15’s but after the last scare, it seems that AR-15 manufacturers have really stepped up their game and now there are a ton of great ones for great prices. Ruger…

  • Hornady Producing 17 WSM

    Hornady Producing 17 WSM

    I said I was going to stop the Rimfire posts while big game was in season, but just 1 more! Hornady has come out with a loading for 17 WSM. One of the main risks with 17 WSM ammo had been that it was only available from Winchester. Now with Hornady producing a 20 grain…

  • Why More Canadian Hunters Should Join the NFA

    Why More Canadian Hunters Should Join the NFA

    They shouldn’t. I wrote this article in 2014 to encourage more hunters to join gun rights organizations so they don’t lose their Browning BAR’s and Remington Versa-Max’s. At the time, the NFA was a good choice. In my opinion, the NFA is not a good choice anymore. These days, the CCFR is a better choice…

  • DIY Archery Targets

    DIY Archery Targets

    It has been too long since my last mini-post. This one’s on DIY archery targets. I’ve built the DIY archery targets with the foam puzzle pieces that people like to use for kid areas or for workshop floors and I’ve seen the compressed cardboard targets. Both work just fine. Where I think a bag like…

    Game Cam Oct 2014 and a Bit of Varmint Hunting

    Thought I’d share what’s coming up on the game cam. There was a lot more variety in animals than I was expecting for 2 weeks of footage. After seeing all the pictures of coyotes, I took off with my Stevens 200 in 223 to clear some of them out.  I didn’t see any coyotes but…

  • What Are You Hunting This Year?

    What Are You Hunting This Year?

    I thought it’d be kind of fun to ask a few readers and different media channels what they’re hunting this year. I went on Slam Fire Radio, Canada’s #1 firearms-related podcast (in my opinion), to talk shop with Owen and Matthew about what they were hunting. Matthew from Slam Fire Radio and mmatt YouTube Channel,…

  • 17 HMR vs 17 WSM

    17 HMR vs 17 WSM

    17 WSM: Is the Rimfire Speed King Worth It? Designed and produced in 2002, the 17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire is pretty new in terms of cartridges, but there is an even newer kid on the block. The 17 Winchester Super Mag (WSM), has been in production since 2013 and is attempting to cut out a piece of the…
