Do I Buy it Here, Or There, Or…?
Do I buy another gun, that’s not really a question, is it?!! The real question, especially in today’s economy, is where and for how much $$ do I buy that gun? THAT answer is often long and convoluted so we’re only going to delve into a portion of it here today. Today we talk about […]
Being First Isn’t Always a Fun Time
Imagine, you’re part of the crew of the newest, biggest, and strongest US Navy Aircraft Carrier and you’ve almost completed all the acceptance trials. But wait, there’s more!

ProTek Watches: Merging Military Precision With Rugged Durability
Back in the Day Way back in the early 90’s a guy I was serving with showed me his new watch and it was unlike anything I had ever seen before. It said “Navy SEALs” on the face, but I jokingly told my buddy I’d have a look at it anyway. The cool part was […]

You ever hear the line, “it ain’t easy being green”? Well it ain’t I’m 6’7″, flipper sized feet, piano fingers and a big hat size all crammed into one body walking around trying to make my way in the world, and some days I get the feeling the world just isn’t made for people my […]
A New Take On the Updated Salomon Xa Forces Mid Boot
Proud to present an article from Leland Keane, our gear review guru from the Nova Scotia.

Technology for your Health From SHOT SHOW
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.

Pic of the Day, It’s Graduation Time
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.
