It's built like a tank, maximizes accuracy, is modular, uniquely mitigates recoil, and if looks could kill there'd be no need for a barreled action in it. It is the Cadex Defense Strike Dual chassis. Yes, I know, it sounds like propaganda. But seriously, when we set...
Here in the south where most wild hogs live, it’s getting warmer. The high today at my home is predicted to be 87 degrees. Soon, hunting feral hogs in daylight will be futile in many places. As tactical hog hunters, we will be forced to operate in darkness. We will...
SHWAT™ arrived at the Wild Hog Roundup in Center, Texas, on Saturday, April 6 in the form of long-time Special Hog Weapons and Tactics™ writer Dr. John Woods and me, Brian McCombie, SHWAT™ contributor and NRA Field Editor. So far, we’ve hunted two solid days, and the...
It's a wrap - 2012 has just flown by, and SHWAT.com is now a year old! In that year you've seen SHWAT launch from obscurity and - many thanks to you - grow dramatically. We hope you've enjoyed it as much as we have. We've been privileged to bring you stories from...

Like the wild hog population count, the world of hog hunting has exploded over the last few years. Once the exclusive domain of the traditional hunter, this phenomenon is now catching the attention of tactical professionals and enthusiasts. I have seen some very...
It couldn’t be done, I was told. It shouldn’t be tried, the internet bellowed. We are talking about dangerous game, of course. In this case, we were even returning to the same location where we’d taken four hogs weighing in at 150-350 pounds each, one with some...
In the minds of many, the hunting world and the tactical world are mutually exclusive. Their purposes, methods and gear are relevant to the field of application. Yet, I would venture to say that on some fundamental levels they both share a very serious theme: the...
