Picking the best archery targets in is the single biggest upgrade you can make to your practice routine. I learned this the hard way after a season of shooting into stacked cardboard boxes and watching broadheads bury themselves in the dirt behind my backyard range. After three months of shooting 18 different block, bag, 3D, … Read more
Finding the best crossbow targets for your setup can feel like a guessing game, especially when modern crossbows are pushing 400 to 500 FPS and beyond. I have spent months putting eight of the most popular crossbow targets through their paces, shooting hundreds of bolts from crossbows ranging from 300 FPS budget models to 500 … Read more
I still remember the first time I tried a hinge release after years of shooting a wrist strap trigger. My groups opened up for a week, then tightened like nothing I had ever shot before. That moment is why I care so much about release aids. After 60 days of testing 8 of the most … Read more
Walking miles to check an SD card is the old way of scouting. The best trail cameras with cellular changed everything for me.

After 47 sits, hundreds of trail-cam photos, and plenty of blown stalks from spooked deer, I have a clear picture of which best ground blinds for hunting actually deliver concealment, silence, and durability when … Read more
I have spent more mornings than I can count sitting twenty feet up an oak tree, waiting for that perfect shot at a whitetail buck. Over the past several seasons, our team tested climbing stands, hang-on stands, and ladder stands across public land and private ground. The right tree stand can make or break a … Read more
I’ve spent the last 90 days hunting from six different climbing tree stands, climbing into everything from straight-grained oaks in public-land creek bottoms to crooked river-bottom cottonwoods. What I learned surprised me: the best climbing tree stands aren’t always the lightest or the quietest on paper. The real winner depends on how you hunt, how … Read more

Over the last decade, our team has tested just about every realistic turkey decoy on the market, from bargain one-piece foam birds to premium lifelike collapsible decoys that fold into a backpack. Turkey hunting … Read more
