The pointed soft-point bullet is a popular bullet type used in dozens of lines of hunting ammo. Manufacturers range from cheap factories you might not be familiar with, to premium lines like the Remington CoreLokt. The pointed tip gives shooters a flatter trajectory at long ranges compared to the basic soft tip, and experienced long range hunters can appreciate any advantage they can get. |

The open tip match bullet (OTM) is primarily used as a target shooting ammo, hence the word “match” – but what is match ammo? There seems to be a massive debate about this particular term (OTM), because it comes across as a hollow point when it's technically not, and it can cause some confusion. The military can use it because it’s technically not a hollow point, but some hunters can’t because it is a hollow point. This is probably the most controversial term of any bullet currently in use today. |

The smallbore individual championship round did not start how WVU senior Mary Tucker wanted on Friday at the NCAA Rifle National Championship inside the WVU Coliseum.
Tucker found herself in eighth place, last, following the first series of kneeling shots, facing an uphill battle the rest of the way.
“My kneeling position is really good and my hold is really good, but my brain doesn’t trust it,” Tucker explained. “I was just kind of fighting with myself there and not letting myself take good shots, which is obviously not what you want.”
The shooters took series of five shots in three positions, — kneeling, prone and then standing. |

South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster has signed a new law allowing adults 18 and over to carry loaded handguns without a permit or training. This law, which positions South Carolina as the 29th state to adopt permitless carry, aims to expand Second Amendment rights for law-abiding citizens while imposing stricter penalties for illegal gun use and possession, particularly among convicted felons. |

With Democrats calling it common sense legislation to get gun owners better educated, Republicans argued last week that the proposed changes to Colorado's concealed carry permitting process infringes on Second Amendment rights.
In its second reading on the House floor on March 8, House Bill 1174 mandates that all concealed carry permit training classes must be conducted in person with a curriculum to cover firearm safety, storage, state and federal gun laws, and self-defense and de-escalation tactics. Applicants must pass a written exam and live-fire exercise; renewals require a refresher course. |

Century Arms’ squat little 9mm AP5-M is a close twin to H&K’s classic MP5K at a far more enticing price point. Manufactured by MKE manufacturing out of Turkey and imported to the states by Century, the AP5 family has basically all the features of the popular MP5s minus the brand recognition and associated cost … or full-auto fire. |

Concealed carry can feel like a giant leap. These are the easy stepping stones for new gun owners. |

Heading into the final two shots of the individual air rifle championship Saturday, West Virginia junior Gavin Barnick trailed Kentucky’s Braden Peiser by three-tenths of a point, 230.6 to 230.3.
Barnick hit 10.8 on the penultimate shot to take the lead and scored 10.6 on the final to clinch his first career individual national championship.
“It was a tough final,” Barnick said. “I’ve shot a lot against Braden, we grew up shooting against each other. It felt really good to win and to bring another individual championship title home.”
Barnick finished with a score of 251.7, ahead of Peiser’s 251.2. Peiser’s final two shots were 10.1 and 10.5.
“I was behind before the 10.8, so I took it as I gave myself a chance,” Barnick said. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
