At a camp in Texas, women are learning the skills to become successful hunters.
And they’re having fun while they’re at it.
Shootin’ Irons
Iron sights are still useful in some hunting situations.

Shooting the Lightweights
Lightweight mountain rifles can be just as accurate and easy to shoot as traditional, heavier rifles.
Don’t assume that lightweight rifles are not accuate.
Shots at Spots
How to make sure your leopard is “dead under the tree.”
Larger calibers are not always the answer.
Single-shots on Safari
Are they really a good idea?
Boddington says yes, with a few caveats.

Having your firearms appraised helps safeguard your family when you’re gone.
Don’t let swindlers get their hands on your gun collection.

In between factory rifles and custom rifles lies a broad spectrum of other hunting rifles, including so-called “special runs” available from some factories.
