If you feel that 2020 felt a little violent, you're right, it was. "The year 2020 likely saw the largest percentage increase in homicides in American history. Murder was up nearly 37% in a sample of 57 large and medium-size…
Typically, when any of us tests the accuracy of our guns, we shoot a bunch of groups, measure the two worst shots in each group, and then average those together. This method uses Extreme Spread to measure accuracy, and it…
