For the most part, waterfowl and upland bird conservation groups leave defending the Second Amendment to the National Rifle Association. There are a variety of reasons they do so, but these are no longer ordinary times for gun rights.

Some of the strictest gun-control measures ever dreamed up are on the march in Connecticut, New York and elsewhere. The federal government is likewise considering legislation that would curb constitutional freedoms without affecting any real solutions to violence. Private firearm transactions, so-called “high capacity” magazines, semi-auto rifles and—yes—shotguns are all in the crosshairs.

So, 31 major conservation groups have decided it’s time for their voices to be heard. Along with the NRA, they have signed onto a letter to the U.S. Senate laying out a 5-point plan to improve the safety of our communities without infringing on the Second Amendment.

You can read the full list of conservation groups stepping up in defense of your rights here.

In the interest of this blog, I’d like to highlight the waterfowl and upland bird conservation groups that signed the letter. I suggest thanking them and your NRA for their support by joining or renewing your membership today.

#SundayGunday: Chiappa USA Rhino 60DS

On this week's #SudnayGunday, we’re checking out the Chiappa Rhino 60 DS. All it takes is once glance to tell this is not your granddad’s revolver. Chiappa has flipped the script on wheelguns quite literally, aligning the barrel with the bottommost chamber of the cylinder, rather than the top. This low bore axis makes the gun recoil directly back into the hand, rather than pulling the muzzle up and away from your grip. Learn more about it in this exclusive video.

Member's Hunt: The Dogger’s Window

A dogger’s goal while pushing deer is to drive the prey into a pocket formed by others in his gang, those hunters who are posted about a hundred yards apart along strategic locations up to a half-mile away from the dogger’s starting point. When everyone is in position, the dogger weaves his way through the woods into the wind and pocket formed by the other hunters. The approaching sound of the dogger snapping twigs and crunching leaves alerts unsuspecting deer.

Federal Ammunition Awarded Contracts to Provide Rifle and Shotgun Ammunition to the Canadian Government

Federal Ammunition was recently awarded contracts to supply two Canadian law enforcement organizations with rifle and shotgun ammunition for duty and training purposes. These agreements will supply the Department of National Defense (DND) with .300 Blackout duty and training rounds, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) with 12-gauge slugs and buckshot duty loads.
