300-Yard Offhand Shot in 15 MPH Wind

Hitting a target at 300 yards standing and unsupported is a serious challenge, and 15-mile-per-hour winds make it even harder. In this video I take the shot with a Uintah Precision rifle. Watch above to see if it lands.

Bullet ricochets off three steel plates

In this trick shot, a bullet ricochets off three steel plates. It is a demonstration, not something to copy casually. Always use plenty of distance, safe backstops and eye and ear protection when shooting steel.

Why steel and ricochets need respect

• Ricochets are unpredictable: a bullet can change direction and speed in ways you cannot control.
• Distance matters: stay at or beyond the distance the target maker recommends.
• Use the right targets and ammo: only shoot steel rated for your cartridge. See Infinity Targets.
• Protect yourself: wear eye and ear protection, such as ShellShock electronic hearing protection.

Gear

Find ammo at True Shot Ammo and Natchez, and get range gear and cleaning supplies at Brownells.

Mossberg 940 Pro 12 gauge test

The Mossberg 940 Pro is a gas-operated 12 gauge semi-auto shotgun made for waterfowl, turkey and clays. In this video, I put it to the test at the range.

Where the 940 Pro fits

• Waterfowl: a semi-auto gives quick follow-up shots.
• Turkey: a versatile 12 gauge works with a range of loads.
• Clays: a gas-operated action helps tame recoil over long sessions.

Gear

Alligator hunting in Florida

Alligator hunting in Florida is a regulated, permit-based hunt, and it is a wild experience. In this video, a gator attacks and bites the boat. Gators are powerful, fast and unpredictable, and a hunt requires strict safety and proper permits.

What to know before you go

• Permits and rules: check current Florida regulations and permit requirements before you plan a hunt.
• Safety first: a thrashing gator can damage a boat and injure people, so keep everyone clear and plan every step.
• Be prepared: go with experienced people, and have the right gear for the water and the weather.

Gear

Dress for heat and wet conditions with Pnuma Outdoors hunting apparel, and find hunting and outdoor gear at Sportsman’s Warehouse. Compare binoculars and spotting gear at OpticsPlanet, and scout public land with the onX Hunt app.

Remington Alpha 1 in an MDT LSS chassis

Precision meets performance as we put the Remington Alpha 1 in an MDT LSS chassis to the test. From accuracy and recoil control to real-world shooting feel, this setup gets pushed hard to see if it lives up to the hype.

What we looked at

• Accuracy: how tight the rifle groups.
• Recoil control: how the chassis helps manage recoil.
• Real-world feel: how it handles when you actually shoot it.

Gear

Bolt-action rifle vs shotgun

A long-range bolt-action rifle and a shotgun are built for very different jobs. A rifle uses a rifled barrel and a single projectile for precision at distance, while a shotgun is designed for shorter range, where a spread of shot or a slug does the work.

How they differ

• Barrel: rifled barrels spin the bullet for accuracy, while most shotguns are smoothbore.
• Projectile: a rifle fires one bullet. A shotgun can fire many pellets or a single slug.
• Range: rifles reach out much farther, and shotguns are best at close to moderate distances.
• Uses: rifles suit big game and precision shooting, while shotguns suit birds, clays and close-range work.

Gear

Compare rifle scopes at OpticsPlanet, find rifle and shotgun ammo at Natchez, and get cleaning supplies at Brownells. Use ShellShock electronic hearing protection with either.

Beretta BRX1 Trick Shot: 3 Plates, One Shot

The Beretta BRX1 is a straight-pull rifle, which means you cycle the action with a simple push and pull rather than lifting a bolt handle. That makes for quick follow-up shots, and in this video I try a trick shot: three plates with one shot. Watch above to see if it works.

Pronghorn hunting in Wyoming with family

The Wyoming plains, fast-moving antelope and a family adventure we will never forget. In this video, we share laughs, spot-and-stalk pronghorn across miles of open country, and enjoy the beauty of the West together. This hunt is proof that the outdoors is best shared with family.

Tips for a family pronghorn hunt

• Plan ahead: check Wyoming licenses, tags and regulations before you go.
• Spot and stalk: good glass lets you find animals from a distance in open country.
• Scout public land: the onX Hunt app shows boundaries and access points.
• Dress for the prairie: wind, sun and cold change fast. See Pnuma Outdoors apparel.

Thermal AR-15 vs steel

Clip-on thermal optics let you add thermal imaging in front of a standard daytime scope, so you keep your zero and your reticle while seeing heat signatures. In this video, I run a DPMS AR-15 with an ATN Tico 6 clip-on at steel.

Why use a clip-on thermal?

• Keeps your zero: you do not have to re-sight your daytime optic.
• Keeps your reticle: use the scope you already know.
• Shows heat signatures: useful for spotting targets in the dark.

Shooting steel safely

Use steel rated for your ammo, stay at a safe distance, and wear eye and ear protection. See Infinity Targets and ShellShock electronic hearing protection.

Gear

Compare thermal and night optics at OpticsPlanet, find 5.56 ammo at True Shot Ammo and Natchez, and get AR-15 parts and cleaning supplies at Brownells.
