I wake up on the third day of training with a sense of pride and accomplishment. The previous day went by so fast and the memory of seeing the steel swing at hundreds of yards away energizes me now. Tyler and his staff are ready to test us. Their mischievous grins...
Day two’s classroom session opens my eyes to many new ways to approach medium to long range hunting. For most hunters, deer and wild boar hunting is generally done within 100 yards. At times, and depending on one’s geographical location, it can stretch as far as 400...
For some time I buried the thought of trying my hand at long range shooting. Like a lot of shooters and hunters it seemed like the next logical step in my shooting and hunting experience, but with a busy schedule and lacking any kind rifle that would be up to the task...
Christmas time is here again! Many of you have been thinking about what to get the hunter or shooter in your life (or maybe what YOU’D like to get). We’ve put together some of our favorite picks of the year. We’ve tested some form of each item and personally think it...
Bolt actions are boring, I once thought. Kind of funny that my most spectacular filmed hog hunting shot to date would feature me shooting a bolt action Weatherby. Granted, it was a Hog Reaper chambered in .308 topped with an Aimpoint Hunter. Could I have pulled off...

Once again, it's way past midnight, probably between two and three a.m., and I'm kneeling in dirt, scanning a group of hogs though night vision. This is our third night out on hog patrol. I have half a magazine of .223 DRT penetrating frangible ammo in my suppressed...
Sometimes, the unexpected that happens on a tactical hog hunt can turn out better than you could have imagined—as I found out on a recent hog hunt sponsored by the good people at NRA Outdoors. I got to my hog hunting stand way late and well past dark. Actually, I’d...
The first official East Texas hunt for the SHWAT™ Team was an exciting success! We were well equipped with a wide variety of some of the best gear available and had good land to hunt on. Everyone we met - the lease manager, the folks at Wulf Outdoor Sports, the...
Regular visitors to SHWAT™ will know that I am a big fan of the ammunition made by Dynamic Research Technologies or DRT. My first experience with this fine ammo came last November in Oklahoma, when I used DRT’s 79 grain Terminal Shock in .223 to take down a 210...
