Shot Variance: What Went Wrong?

Glen Stilson

Deer Season Game Plan

Shot Variance: What Went Wrong? by Glen Stilson Here in Arizona it’s no small feat to get drawn for a good hunt in our big game tag lottery. A rifle deer tag may only happen once every few years, sometimes longer, and once drawn there are not many hunters that I know who don’t put their heart and soul into the hunt, including pre-hunt scouting and equipment preparation. … [Read more...] about Shot Variance: What Went Wrong?

No, I’m not talking about the much debated green leafy plant; I’m talking about D.O.P.E., or ‘Data on Previous Engagements’. There are a few other versions of the acronym that I’ve heard, such as ‘Data Obtained … [Read more...] about The Importance of Dope

More Whitetail Reach

Ron Spomer

More Whitetail Reach by Ron Spomer  Extreme range shooting is today’s hot topic, but one questions whether it should be any day’s hot whitetail hunting technique. There is a point at which long becomes too long. That said, if ever there were a place for needing a bit more reach on a whitetail hunt, the West is it. Here in the great wide open (long may it remain!) we are … [Read more...] about More Whitetail Reach

Setting Up For Success

Glen Stilson

Setting Up For Success Glen Stilson When I was learning how to shoot a rifle as a young child, I remember being told, “Hurry up and take your time.” It’s a concept that I still use today when I need to make a good, clean shot or when I’m teaching others the fundamentals of marksmanship. The concept suggests that you probably won’t have all day to make a good shot, but if you … [Read more...] about Setting Up For Success

Steady Shooting

Steady Shooting, Taking the Shot

Steady Shooting by Scott Haugen I’d already filled my Montana whitetail tag, so followed along as another hunter in camp tried to do the same. We were hunting in sagebrush country that bordered brushy creek bottoms. At first glance, the terrain seemed flat, but once you set foot on it you realized the brush was tall and the ground broken. Before leaving camp, I noticed the … [Read more...] about Steady Shooting
