The Outdoors Belongs to Everyone
There’s a lot of stigma in the outdoors. What you’re supposed to shoot. How you’re supposed to hunt. What gear is “right.” Whether technology has a place in the woods. And, of course, everyone has an opinion.
The outdoors has changed. Technology has changed. Social media has changed the way we learn, share and experience this lifestyle. More men and women are turning their passion for the outdoors into careers and livelihoods, and there are more ways than ever to get outside and find your place in it.
There are things worth debating and things worth calling out. We have our opinions, too. But at the end of the day, Hook & Barrel is here for all of it. Every skill level. Every niche. Every shooter, hunter, angler, fitness junkie, gearhead, foodie and everyone in between.
You don't have to do it exactly like the next guy. You just have to get outside and make it yours.

Winchester’s new Super Match ammunition line covers pistol, rifle and shotshell loads built for competition. After roughly 4,000 rounds during an early range event, we came away with some strong first impressions on reliability, velocity consistency and what Winchester is bringing to competitive shooters.
We knocked this one out of the ring.
What happens when you start asking yourself what’s possible instead of where the limit lies? You stop looking for the stopping point and start looking for the next challenge. That idea runs through every page of this issue.
The Rambo Revolt AWD packs dual-motor all-wheel drive, full suspension and a compact step-through design into a hunting e-bike built for tight trails and rough terrain.
Trail cameras use PIR sensors to detect animals, infrared flash to photograph them at night and local storage or cellular networks to deliver the images. Here’s how the features that matter most affect performance in the field.
Modern crossbows can make arrow removal from foam targets downright miserable. We compare foam and specialized high-speed targets, explain why arrows stick, and test practical fixes—including arrow lube—to help you choose the right target for the way you shoot.
