SHOT Show 2011: Winkler Knives
4By David E. Petzal
About the Interview: Dan Winkler and his partner Karen Shook are America’s foremost makers of “buckskinner” knives. Now, at the request of Special Ops personnel, they’re making tomahawks and knives that are for use in modern combat.

SHOT Show 2011: Ram's Outdoorsman Pickup
By Philip Bourjaily
At the pre-SHOT Shooting day we saw lots of guns, most of them black, and tactical. We'll have more video from that event soon but in the meantime, here's a look at Ram's Outdoorsman pickup which has some cool features like locking gun storage in the sides of the bed. Forgive the audio, which is a little out of synch, but we wanted to get this up and start our SHOT coverage right away.

How to Shoot a Magazine for Fun and (Maybe) Profit
By Philip Bourjaily
We want you to take the July issue of Field & Stream out and shoot it. Well, not the whole magazine, but the target on page 49. It’s part of the special Gun Nut issue, in which DEP and I put this blog on the pages of the Field & Stream. In the section you’ll find shooting advice, lots of guns, Gun Nut rules to live by and such vital minutiae as my five favorite gun scenes in the movies and Dave’s nominations for the Three Meanest Gunwriters Ever. The issue hits newsstands on June 22nd.
Back to the target. We want you to shoot it. Really. With any gun, at any range. One shot or many – doesn’t matter – then shoot it again, this time with a camera. You can be in the picture, too. Whoever takes the photo our editors like best wins a Smith & Wesson M&P MOE in 5.56mm. And by “wins” I mean, we give it to you (via a registered FFL dealer) and you get to keep it. You can enter the contest here once your issue arrives.
I have shot... [ Read Full Post ]

Petzal: Barrett's Law
By David E. Petzal
While at SHOT Show and SCI last month, I saw a great deal of New Stuff that we will not be able to live without. The downside to New Stuff is that it comes at the cost of Old Stuff, and sometimes, the Old Stuff is a lot better than the New Stuff that replaces it. And that is why Peter Barrett, Field & Stream’s late Executive Editor, would take a puff on his pipe and say “Kid, if you find something real good buy two, because as true as God they’ll stop making it.”
A case in point is the Leupold M-8 3X rifle scope which was made from 1965 to 1979. It was light, simple, strong, took in 43 feet at 100 yards, and was one of the best scopes ever made for short range shooting, or for use on a dangerous game rifle. I don’t know of anything comparable made today.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Danner made a boot called the Elk Hunter, not to be confused with the present boot of that name. It was 5 inches high, lace-to-toe, no Gore-Tex or Thinsulate, and came with a heavy Vibram sole and a high “logger” heel. Elk Hunters weighed... [ Read Full Post ]

Why I Hate the Booth Babe Story, a Guest Editorial by Holly A. Heyser
By none
Editor’s Note: As part of our annual coverage from the SHOT show, the outdoor industry’s biggest convention, we always run a photo gallery of “Booth Babes,” those voluptuous women companies employ to get men to stop and take a closer look at their goods. We always get a good chuckle out of this practice when we’re at the show (and we freely admit that sometimes we do stop to admire the view), so we started this gallery so readers could share in the fun. It’s become very popular, but it’s not without its critics. There are many smart and valid criticisms in the comments section of the gallery, but we thought they deserved a larger platform. After coming across a particularly compelling argument on the blog norcalcazadora.com, we asked the author, Holly A. Heyser, a female hunter and writer from Northern California, to start the discussion here.
I’ve got to start this by saying I’m not a prude, and I don’t hate men because they love looking at bodacious babes. I’ve even started watching “Manswers” on Spike with my boyfriend because, seriously, it’s pretty over-the-top funny.
But I had a real problem with F&S posting its 2010 SHOT Show Booth Babe Roundup on this website Wednesday. [ Read Full Post ] -

Petzal: The Recession and Profanity-Free Speeches
By David E. Petzal
In two days at the 2010 SHOT Show I have yet to hear a discouraging word; in fact the place is bulging and throbbing like an unlanced boil. I’ve just fled from one of the law-enforcement halls because it was so mobbed that you couldn’t get through the aisles, and it is not much different anyplace else.
On the other hand, 2010 is not much of a year for innovation, at least in rifles. There are all sorts of “new” models that are only cosmetically different, but for actual new the only one that I’ve seen is the Blaser R8. Optics, however, is a different story. [ Read Full Post ] -

Video: Stuff Petzal Likes at the SHOT Show
By Joe Cermele
Yesterday I trailed Phil Bourjaily around the SHOT Show floor with a video camera. Today it was Dave Petzal's turn. Some of the items you are about to see are new. Some are not. But they all fall under one category where release date is irrelevant. Simply put, here's a showcase of "Stuff Dave Likes." Mr. Petzal, please take the floor. -- Joe Cermele

Live from SHOT: New Guns, New Gear, and Autographed Panties
By Joe Cermele
Greetings Gun Nuts. Though I never thought an occasion would arise that caused me to stray from my post at the Honest Angler blog and enter the realm of Mr. Petzal and Mr. Bourjaily, sometimes strange things happen. One actually happened today. I aimlessly wandered the SHOT Show floor with Phil Bourjaily, filming whenever something grabbed his attention. Here's a look at what we found, including some of the hottest new guns and gear, plus a booth babe that signs lingerie. I hope you enjoy the show, as Phil and I certainly had fun making it -- Joe Cermele

SHOT Show Report: Browning X-Bolt and Winchester Model 1894
By Jay Cassell
A guest post by Field & Stream Deputy Editor Jay Cassell
The day before the SHOT show doors open is the fun day, the day writers and editors get to go to area ranges and shoot all the new guns being offered by firearms manufacturers from across the planet. This year, I attended the annual Browning-Winchester event, held at the Desert Rifle and Pistol Sportsman’s Club 45 minutes outside of Las Vegas. Two guns in particular attracted my interest.

SHOT Show Report: Bourjaily Shoots the SXP
By Philip Bourjaily
SHOT Show starts tomorrow, and as always, several manufacturers held pre-show shooting events today that gave us press-types a little trigger time with some of their new guns. At the Browning/Winchester shoot, I had the chance to get reacquainted with the SXP.
The SXP is the Turkish-made reincarnation of the old 1300, an underappreciated, lightweight, inexpensive gun made in the old New Haven factory before it closed. Winchester announced the SXP last year but it wasn’t until this year that they actually received guns from their Turkish vendor in sellable quantities.
Anyway, the 1300 was briefly known as the “Speed Pump” because its rotary bolt helped it cycle very quickly. I remembered the guns were smooth, but I had forgotten just how smooth they were. The first two times I tried to shoot doubles with it today, I worked the slide and ejected the shell literally without knowing I had, leaving me pulling on the forearm trying to open an action that was already open. Once I figured out what was happening, I could shoot the gun very fast, and a butter-slick pump gun is a lot of fun to shoot.
I liked the way it pointed and shot, and the... [ Read Full Post ]
