Professional Gear Reviews
We often see pictures of soldiers wearing an assortment of high-speed gear that is appealing to the eye. But there’s one piece of gear that’s appealing to their eyes, too. Eye pro! I received these custom Ranger and Navy SEAL shades from Oakley, and couldn’t wait to show the testing these guys put into their product. No matter who […]
Before the price gouging of weapons while I was stationed at Ft. Benning GA, I purchased an AK-47 (Romanian) at a local dealership for $174.00. I wanted an AK-47 after a few deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, everyone in those areas of operations had one and it seemed to serve its purpose for them just […]
I’ve been asked on multiple occasions, “Does rain or snow affect the bullet, and how do you adjust for it?” Some precision shooters absolutely freak out when it starts to rain, or may even go as far as to not shoot in those conditions. I like to look at rain, to a certain extent, the way […]
I’m sure everyone here knows that a bullet is most effective when it’s traveling through the air at its prescribed velocity. After all, that’s what the bullet is designed to do. The cartridge holds the powder, and once the powder ignites, initiated by the primer, the projectile unseats from the casing, travels the length of the […]
Every precision shooter should have a well-kept data book. If you are serious about long-range precision shooting, your D.O.P.E is something that rarely leaves your rifle—they go hand-in-hand. I know that technology has somewhat taken over what we used to do, and some consider paper and pen “old school,” but I’m a firm believer in […]

I am a firm believer in muscle memory. When or if you find yourself on a two-way gun range, you’ll find that your training and muscle memory will take over and things will just seem to happen without much thought behind it. Let’s talk about getting off the X. One of the downsides of training on many public […]
For an all around travel assault pack, the Vertx GAMUT PLUS assault pack has it. At first glance and trying on the pack, it reminded me of an MC-4 parachute rig used for HALO operations. It feels extremely comfortable and organizes the weight in a way that doesn’t feel awkward. Some immediate features that I noticed with […]
In the shooting community, we tend to find ourselves seeking out only the best gear to complement our weapon. There is nothing wrong with that, as long as the product does its job and performs. Some may want to purchase top-of-the-line equipment, but simply can’t due to the product’s price point. This does not mean that […]
The INCOG has made a very positive difference in how I carry. If you are looking for an upgrade or just want to try something new, check out the INCOG holster.
