The Blessings of Living in BC

Matt Siemens·August 19, 2015

Living here in BC is a true blessing for sportsmen and women, very few places around the globe can compare to our natural beauty and diversity. It is truly a place of wonder, yet I never truly realized it until I moved back from living in various places around the...

.22 LR Reloader

Matt Siemens·August 17, 2015

Every once in a while I will see some new product that I just have to have, or wish I had produced it. Back in the beginning of the year I came across that exact product. While walking through the CSAAA show in Calgary I stumbled across a .22 LR...

Final Chapter: 450 Ackley Project

Matt Siemens·June 15, 2015

With the rifle finished and spring bear season in full swing, it seemed sensible to bring the rifle into the field and see if I could connect on a bear with it. First I would need to spend some time with it on the range. I was curious to see...

BC Outdoors, with its history of change, is changing once again. This time back to its roots, back to what made this magazine the most read outdoor magazine in the west.

Bear Attack: Reaction Times

Al Voth·March 8, 2015

...I began to wonder what the reaction gap is for a typical rifle toting hunter attacked by a bear.

Custom Rifle Build #2

Matt Siemens·January 12, 2015

With all the needed components on hand to get this rifle project started, it was just a matter of aligning a few schedules and getting it into the machine shop to get this build going...

Tracking Wounded Game

Duane Radford·January 8, 2015

What the devil happened, I wondered? Two good shoots, either one of which should have anchored the elk, yet it was gone! Let’s examine what a hunter should do to ensure similar situations end positively - regarding the art and science on tracking wounded big game animals. It’s only a matter of time before every hunter has to own up to this eventuality-it happens to even the best of marksmen.
