I’ve said it before, there was more technology than you could shake a gun at on display at SHOT SHOW 2024. Even when it wasn’t the most glamorous or “in your face electronics”, technology is making the shooting sports world better in a number of ways. Always a “thing” with shooting is your hearing protection […]
It’s not everyday that someone in the family graduates, and then it’s an even more rare occasion that someone graduates the Army Sniper Course held at Ft Moore, Columbus GA. Recently I was privileged to attend a graduation held there and came away with some impressions about the course and the people conducting it. The […]
Technology was EVERYWHERE at SHOT SHOW, you literally couldn’t walk an aisle without seeing at least two examples of it being leveraged to make something better in some way. Vaultek is one example of this in the way it uses technology to create safer and more useable storage solutions that give the buyer more and […]

Garfield’s “go-to tool” when dealing with brush, limbs, and small trees on his NW Florida rural property, and his Grandson’s favorite tool to steal away from him.

For those who like single-point slings, they don’t just like them. They tend to LOVE them. If you’re a two-point sling person, sorry, this review isn’t for you. I bought my Phase 5 Weapon Systems sling approximately five years ago and have used it on various long guns, with and without my vest, in various […]
Yes, I’m sorry it’s yet ANOTHER entry in the multi-tool playground. In this case, it’s not a butterfly-opening multi-tool; it’s a prybar and a dam good one, too. I own three of similar size and function, but this is the only one I’ve got 2 of, and I bought it as a Christmas gift multiple […]
Multi Tools tend to come in a limited number of categories, starting with totally useless (and I have a couple of those), to WOW, how did I EVER live my life without this? Most are difficult to use in stressful situations, aren’t put together well, or have one good tool and many cheap ones. Gerber […]
Watches Developed With the Help of SEALs I have to admit I’ve been a serious Luminox watch fan for a long time. I was fortunate enough to have obtained one of their first models around 1994, and I wore it for the remaining ten years of my military career. Our medical sergeant turned me on […]
