Orvis has been a go-to standard for me since I was a little kid. Their gear has never let me down and continues to be the first place I turn when it's time to refresh my fly gear. Their shirts and other products for home are great too. Couldn't get through a winter without a box of their fatwood to get the home fires burning!

"The great body of our citizens shoot less as times goes on. We should encourage rifle practice among schoolboys, and indeed among all classes, as well as in the military services by every means in our power. Thus, and not otherwise, may we be able to assist in preserving peace in the world. The first step – in the direction of preparation to avert war if possible, and to be fit for war if it should come – is to teach men to shoot!"
