Are you an archer?
This week we’re talking all things bowhunting with Larry McCoy of The Outdoor Group, Elite Archery and host of “Respect the Game” on Sportsman Channel. Statistics show that more than 20 million Americans are recreational archers and/or bowhunters. Longer hunting seasons and the increased challenge of hunting with archery equipment draws a lot of people into the fold. However, becoming a skilled shooter isn’t something that happens overnight. So, listen in as Larry talks form, consistency, precision, shot placement and Elite Archery bows.
I was born in 1982, however the year 1979 has played a significant role in my life. See, my favorite show growing up was The Dukes of Hazard and I dreamt of my 16th birthday when I could finally buy and drive a 1973 F-100 just like Uncle Jesse drove. Fast-forward to present times, my fascination and infatuation with all things Ford Trucks has gone to a whole new level, borderline obsessive! Just as the Duke boys were southern redneck, noble, law abiding outlaws, I’ve taken a page from their book and conned my way into the lives of the Ford Truck Team and tricked them into dishing the skinny on all things new for Ford Trucks. And, just because they are awesome, they always oblige.
No, suppressors do not completely silence the sound of your firearm when you squeeze the trigger. If you believe that, you’ve been watching too many movies! Suppressors do provide a wide variety of benefits though, so let’s take a brief look at the advantages of putting a can on your hunting rifle./p>
How would you use an ATV or Side-by-Side if you had one? For those who own one, how do you use your ATV or Side-by-Side?
Are you an outdoorsman, hunter or angler using your machine to get to and from your hunting or fishing destination, to help you pack your animals out of the field or to haul your gear around? Do you use your machine to help you plant and maintain food plots or do other habitat related projects? Are you a farmer or rancher that uses your machine for a wide variety of tasks from feeding and caring for livestock to fixing fence or perhaps running between buildings or fields for various tasks? Do you use your machine for commercial projects like working on construction sites, moving people and materials around? Possibly your machine stays at home but takes care of things like plowing the snow through the winter, hauling firewood, and other home necessities. Do you like to have fun and use your machine strictly for pleasure, riding trails and trailering it across the country to explore trail systems? Maybe you take fun to the next level and race your machine.
You’ve saved, planned and are ready for that hunting trip of a lifetime. Now, the success of your hunt boils down to one thing: your rifle. Is your rifle fit for you, your hunting style and the game you are pursing? Not all rifles are created equal, plain and simple. For me, I want a rifle that fits like my favorite pair of jeans, it isn’t affected by the weather, can handle a total beating and performs no matter what. Here is my go-to criteria for selecting a rifle.
A successful shed hunt consists of a few basic elements and here I’ll break those down and walk you through scoring more bone.
Shane Coley is the captain of Team GLOCK, an accomplished shooter and the envy of every person at the range. He started his shooting career at age of 14 with his father, a retired Police Officer as his mentor and quickly decided that he wanted to make a career out of it. Immediately after high school in 2009, Shane enlisted in the military and joined the United States Army Marksmanship Unit as part of the Action Shooting Team. After spending six years in the service and locking down 3 National titles, 3 Team World Championship titles, and multiple Area and Regional titles, Shane left the Army and has been with GLOCK since. His accomplishments are nothing short of impressive and he joins us this week for a wide-ranging conversation, offering up pistol shooting tips as well as a look at the new GLOCK G43X and G48.
Do you carry every day? What do you look for in a self-defense load?
Jared Hinton is the Communications Coordinator for Federal Premium Ammunition and he’s back on The Revolution this week to talk handgun loads. Last year, Federal introduced Hydra-Shok Deep in a 135 grain 9mm load and they are expanding on that offering for 2019 by adding a 165 grain 40 S&W and 210 grain 45 Auto loads. Jared says the Hydra-Shok bullet was originally introduced in 1989 and was designed to perform well in a variety of different mediums. However, through the years there have been advancements, FBI protocols have changed and improved and there have also been improvements in ammunition overall.
When you unload your pockets at the end of the day, be honest, how much stuff do you pull out? It’s likely that your pockets are stuffed full with a wallet, cellphone, knife, cash, multitool, firearm, extra magazine, pocket lint, loose change and more. While that’s what pockets are designed to do, hold your stuff, the reality is that those pockets are only so big and there comes a time where you have to either cut down on what you carry or find a smarter way to carry it.
What’s new for 2019 in the world of firearms? Industry shows are wrapping up so now is a good time to see all the new products that will be hitting the shelves this year. Here to guide us through a few of the hot new arrivals is Eric Poole, editor of Guns & Ammo magazine and co-host of “Guns & Ammo” on Sportsman Channel, Thursdays at 9:00 pm ET. Let’s dive in!
