BowHunting
While statistics indicate that hunting overall has stabilized over the past few years, Bowhunting has continued to increase in popularity. Bowhunting not only gives the avid hunter an extended season, but Bowhunting also provides true challenges which test and hone the skills of any hunter. We pledge our best efforts to help fuel the continued growth of Bowhunting for years to come.

Rifle Hunting
Perhaps "Matching the Cartridge to the Game" would be a better title. In any case, the point is to see what rifles are recommended for shooting some of the more common types of game animals. A good choice will have adequate killing power for the intended quarry, not too much, and certainly not too little. A sporting arm must have enough power to insure a humane kill if the shooter does his or her part. For instance, I don't recommend using .22 caliber centerfire rifles on deer; no .22 is an adequate deer rifle. Conversely, I also don't recommend using a .458 Magnum on deer. Elephant rifles are unnecessarily heavy and cumbersome, and there is no reason to endure so much recoil when there are far better choices for the purpose. Such a powerful rifle is best reserved for thick-skinned game. In any case, its very tough bullets are not designed to expand on light framed animals like deer. Read More

Muzzleloader Hunting
The popularity of hunting in Canada with a muzzleloading firearm has grown dramatically in the last twenty years. The largest growth took place after states began special muzzleloader only seasons. These regulations have drawn many modern hunters into trying muzzleloaders. Thousands of hunters take advantage of these extended seasons each year. Some have enjoyed the sport, some have become devoted muzzleloading enthusiasts and many have found it to be more trouble than it's worth. Muzzleloading has come a long way from spit patch round balls, soap and water cleaning techniques, powder horns, and bulky shooting bags. Only the intrinsic low energy properties of black powder propellants and the one-shot limitation inherent to the design restrain muzzleloaders from being as effective as modern rifles. Read More
