One of the highlights of the NRA Women’s Leadership Forum Luncheon & Auction is the presentation of the annual Lifetime Achievement Award. And although the 2021 recipient was honored in the same manner as many events worldwide since 2020—virtually, through Livestream—the heartfelt sentiments given by Mary Cabela during her acceptance were received as if we had gathered as planned for the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Houston.

With a couple of hunts already under her belt this season, Melissa Bachman can assure you there has been one common theme throughout: bugs.This is pretty common in most early-season hunts before temperatures have had a chance to drop below freezing.

Check out her review of this tack-driving rimfire rifle over at NRA Family!
