The Seax (pronounced as a cross between sea-axe and syAX) was a medieval short blade of legend. While the Vikings used it to devastating effect (and fame), many neighboring societies took notice and started using the distinctive shape. One part close fighting tool and one part utilitarian cutting tool, the Seax was a daily part […]
Solkoa S3 Survival Kit | Prepare for the worst
I love the mailman.  Wait!  No… I love getting a package in the mail.  It’s like getting a mini Christmas present.  A few days ago I was lucky enough to get a package from Precisionriflesupply.com .  They sent out a Solkoa S3 Pro Survival Kit for evaluation and it was burning in my hands for a few days […]
Watch | Beginners guide to IDPA shooting competitions
Shooting competitions are a great way to hone the competitive edge, focus your range practice and meet like-minded people. Getting started can be a bit daunting, so I wanted to find a good video to feature which might help open the door a bit for some shooters. The video shown below was made by American […]
Dark Hour Defense | Glock compensated stand-off device
Dark Hour Defense is a new company, a recent offshoot from Joel Allen of V Seven Weapons systems. After talking with Joel (and examining the first round of products to hit the Dark Hour website), it would seem that Dark Hour Defense is all the V Seven quality, minus the exotic materials. Easy assessment when […]
Caldwell Stinger shooting rest | Essential equipment
As a gear reviewer, I receive a pretty wide variety of kit to work with. Even if I’m working with a product I’m not an expert in the use thereof, it’s my job to show the strengths and weaknesses of a product as it stands alone. That means if I’m accuracy testing a rifle or […]
Danner Reckoning boots | Final Review
Boots can be an interesting thing to review: we think of them in such simple terms (protect my feet) but in day-to-day use there are a number of metrics they are measured by. Â Failure to keep up in any department means the whole package doesn’t work. Â Does the heel cup chafe your Achilles? Â Too much […]
Red Rock Outdoor Gear | The Transporter Pack
I’ve recently started getting into precision rifle shooting.  All of the sudden, my nice little range bag was stuffed full of tools I needed to keep organized and accessible.  My old range bag just wasn’t up to the task.  I had a chance to test out Red Rock Outdoor’s Transporter Pack and wanted to know if […]
Ammo Inc and Jesse James | Name brand ballistics
Co-branded products are always interesting to me. While many are a success and both companies are invigorated by the collaboration, sometimes it’s a flop and both parties retreat back to what they were doing before. So when Ammo Inc announced a collaboration with celebrity/motorcycle enthusiast/custom gun builder Jesse James in early 2017 to release the […]
Watch | 1000 yard shooter with an AR-15
Popular YouTube channel “Long Range Shooters of Utah, LLC” has a huge number of videos up, nearly all dedicated to, you guessed it, shooting at long ranges. One of their most popular series of videos details the building, then shooting of an extremely accurate AR-15, an SPR variant. While the first three videos cover parts […]
Aero Precision M4E1 Upper
My first experience with Aero Precision came about 10 years ago in the form of a stripped lower. Â The build went well and the lower was a breadcrumb on the trail to more parts from Aero. Â As a gun shop owner, when customers were looking for quality parts at a price that wouldn’t break the […]
