In the world of long-range shooting, it is often said that “Beginners talk ballistics, experts talk wind calls”. Indeed, there seems to be as much myth as there is math regarding the correction of the horizontal component of trajectory, so here’s a video from Outdoor Life’s “Gun Lab” series, covering wind reads. -Rex Nanorum @Rexnanorum […]

Watch | Best method constructing a homemade shooting range
More and more often, private landowners are eschewing driving to public shooting ranges when they could build a safe and private place homemade range. After doing a considerable amount of research on various construction methods, one of the safest and most economical seems to be to use old railroad ties backed by an earthen berm. […]
Red Rock Outdoors | Slingin’ It
Everyone loves the big flashy accessories in the shooting world. Each new scope, rangefinder or stock will generate quite a bit of buzz. Just as important are the small pieces that complete the setup. If you’ve ever had a sling break during a hunt or ruck march, you know their value. There seems to be […]
Emerson Seax | Viking blade for the modern age
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 […]
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 […]

I used Danner boots back in the early 90’s when I was going through the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center in the Sierra Nevadas. They were more expensive than most, but the investment was well worth it and my […]
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 […]
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 […]
