We all know what a gun case is and the basic function.

Practicing with your firearm and live ammunition—whether at a shooting range or in the field—is unquestionably the best training for hunting season and shooting scenarios. However, if getting outside is difficult to accomplish, these 3 indoor shooting drills will allow you to improve your accuracy without stepping outside or burning a single live round.

Across the country, the popularity of the shooting sports continues to grow.  Men, women, youngsters are all enjoying competitive, tactical, and recreational shooting in greater numbers than ever before.  Hundreds of thousands joined the ranks last year. So chances are pretty good you have shooters – especially new shooters – on your Christmas gift-giving list.  Bass Pro Shops is here to help with gear to earn you big smiles and warm hugs when the wrappings come off.

My time at the Thompson Long Range Shooting School in Utah provided me a tremendous amount of information about long range shooting. So much so, I had to include five more tips for long range shooting.

In the Shooting School: Ballistics 101 post, I talked about the rifle and rifle scope used in the Thompson Long Range Shooting School's shooting system.

A while back I wrote about long range shooting schools. One of the schools I discussed, the Thompson Long Range Shooting School, recently invited me out to Utah to take the course and experience long range shooting first-hand.

Target shooting, or informal "plinking", not only helps develop the essential skills used in hunting and more serious target shooting, but it's good practice and just plain fun.

In a previous hunting blog, I wrote about a couple of hunting schools that offer some unique hunting education opportunities. This time I want to look at a few shooting schools.

Like so many other hunters, the first game I ever shot as a kid was with a Daisy BB and pellet rifle. I wreaked havoc on many a small furred or feathered critter with that pump air gun until it finally wore out.
