Adam Moore
Few things rival the satisfaction of making a perfect (or near-perfect) shot. It’s a culmination of hard work, scouting, and a shooting routine that typically starts in your backyard or local shooting range months before you send an arrow. While what you’re shooting matters more than the target you...

The Greatest Deer Rifle of All Time
Jordan Sillars
The people have spoken, and by the narrowest of margins, the Winchester Model 70 has defeated the Remington 700 and been crowned the Greatest Deer Rifle of All Time. The Model 70 was always a favorite, but its path to the championship wasn’t easy. It had to overcome the Remington 7600 in the first...

The Best Climbing Sticks
Adam Moore
Lightweight hang-on stands or tree saddles might be the focal point of mobile hunting setups, but climbing sticks are the cornerstone. You might as well hunt from an old climber if your sticks add double-digit weight to your setup. Luckily, companies are in an arms race to produce ultralight and...

The Best Tree Saddles
Adam Moore
100 years from now, I imagine (at my disgust) that mobile hunting might include some type of hovering platform that allows you to set up literally anywhere. Instead of spending 45 minutes stressing over which tree to climb, you’ll simply ascend to your preferred height, and it will attach itself to...
