Champion Pivot Traverse Bipod
When we have a piece of gear that serves us well during a critical moment, many of us tend to stick with it for a long time. During my military service as well as a few hunting trips, my issued bipod was reliable. So reliable in fact, I haven’t kept up on the latest in the bipod market. […]

Savage Tactical: Veteran owned and operated
All of us on this earth have probably received a plaque or congratulations-type-gift at some point. Whether it was on your little league baseball team or from your unit when your time as a slayer ended, you probably received something in recognition for your efforts.
