Shooting Tips: Rifle Positions
Sport shooters and hunters alike often find themselves needing to take a shot from a variety of positions. Our video, Basic Shooting Positions demonstrates the common positions: standing, kneeling, sitting and prone.
Many competitive shooting sports place an emphasis on the standing position. This position is also important for hunters or anyone that keeps a rifle for home-defense. Here are 7 tips to improve your shot from a standing position.
How to Safeguard Firearms Left in Your Vehicle
How often do you travel with a firearm? Whether you're going to the range, heading to your hunting spot or carrying a firearm on your person, you may need to leave it in a vehicle. Watch the short video, Safe Gun Storage in a Vehicle for tips to keep your firearm from falling into the wrong hands.
According to recent findings, a firearm is stolen from a car every 9 minutes on average in the United States. This is triple the rate that it was just 10 years ago. Most of these firearm thefts occur from cars parked at residences.
Make sure you take the proper steps to prevent theft of a firearm from a vehicle.
