I’ve Shot The Future and Today It’s Closer Than You Think (Hopefully!) – the Integrally Suppressed AR
Ice hockey legend Wayne Gretzky has often been quoted as saying, “Skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been” to secure future success. Of course his future would have been seconds away while we’re talking short term and long term shooting and hunting. I...
Slap-Tap-Tickle – The Sensational Semantics of Shooters
With the test range tied up for a local competition, time on the computer this weekend increased. It’s a blessing and a curse, as while some of what’s on Social Media is interesting and useful, most is meaningless drivel. Mind numbing click bait aside, it does allow...
Remington 870 TAC-14 – A Quarter Inch of Freedom, Miles of Fun
The Remington 870 TAC-14 shotgun-like-firearm wasn’t on my radar. When it was announced I was as surprised as anyone and really didn’t know what to think. I’ve seen that kind of design before from boutique manufacturers but they never really caught my eye for long....
Possibly the Most Extensive Test of the Versatile Trijicon Accupower 1-8x Scope Anywhere
Trijicon has long been one of my most trusted sighting tools so I was eager to test their Accupower 1-8x and got one of the first available. My appreciation for Trijicon optics started years ago, running the venerable ACOG magnified optics and their reflex sight. My...
Trail to Table with Pulsar’s Newest Trail XP50 Thermal Riflescope
The Trail, Pulsar’s new flagship thermal riflescope, was released this year at SHOT Show in Las Vegas and is starting to show up on shelves across the country. Weeks before its release, I was lucky enough to be a member of a privileged 4-person team afforded an...
Hunting Saves Millions of Lives (Not to Mention Species!)
No need to convince me that hunting is good for people and good for the planet. But, still, this NSSF study is an eye opener for me. Allow me to revisit the first part of my opening line, "Hunting is good for people." I didn't grow up hunting. I grew up in a typical...
The Integrally Suppressed Ruger Precision Rifle We All Want (with videos!)
Ever play the “What If” game of firearms? Try this: What if you could get a precision rifle that was affordable and integrally suppressed? That’s been a unicorn proposition, but now it’s a reality. Witt Machine & Tool has partnered with Colorado’s Machine Gun...
ATF Changes Mind Again – All Pistol Braces Can Come Out of the Closet!
Yesterday the internet came alive with the news that the folks who control what guns and related gear you can own and what you can do with them changed their mind – again – on the subject of pistol stabilizing braces. Countless sources proclaimed the SB Tactical/Sig...
“I Thought I Was Just That Stable” – Review and Reaction to the Nikon Monarch 7i VR Rangefinder
The Nikon Monarch 7i VR has been traveling with me for a few months now. It’s gotten dirty, crossed state lines, gone hunting… You get the idea. It is unlike any other rangefinder I know of, but very much like the camera and video gear I’ve used for years. We’ll jump...
EDC or In the Field: Steel Will Knives Onrush 632S Review
It can be said the greatest tool you have is the one with you at that moment in time. For example, it’s better to have a small gun than no gun for every day carry. For me, knives are a part of everyday life. Like walking out the door without a cell phone in my pocket,...
