How to build an AR-15 | Advanced upgrade options: Part 1
It’s always interesting to see which articles really resonate with readers on our site. Some reviews and “How-to’s” fade quickly while others stay popular for years. One such article is “How to build an AR-15: A Beginner’s Guide” by Nate Schultz. It was published in July of 2017 and still regularly registers enough clicks to […]
CTS Targets: Range-ready steel
A while ago I started penciling in the idea for an article titled “the expectations of accuracy”. Without diving all the way in, it’s all about defining your acceptable level of accuracy in training to match your required level of accuracy in the real world.

Electric Survivor Filter Pro X | Portable, Powerful Purity
Water: a basic necessity for survival, but often enough treated as an afterthought. When heading out camping, most usually grab a gallon of it in a jug and go. What happens when you need more?

Danner Acadia | King of the Mountain
My experience with Danner boots began back in 2001 when the Acadia was the issued winter boot for all Rangers within the 75th Ranger Regiment. It didn’t take long for anyone to figure out they were far superior to the green “Jungle Boots” in almost every application. Since that time, I’ve toured the Danner factory as well as taken […]
