While much of the casual shooting market has moved away from iron sights for economical reasons, competitive and occupational shooters know the value of a good set of back up iron sights (BUIS). Ultradyne has upped the ante, producing BUIS that are designed to be both rugged and precise. Today we’re talking about the Ultradyne C4 […]
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 […]
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. […]
Everyone loves the big flashy accessories in the shooting world. Â Each new scope, rangefinder or stock will generate quite a bit of buzz. Â Just as important are the small pieces that complete the setup. Â If you’ve ever had a sling break during a hunt or ruck march, you know their value. There seems to be […]

I love the mailman.  Wait!  No… I love getting a package in the mail.  It’s like getting a mini Christmas present.  A few days ago I was lucky enough to get a package from Precisionriflesupply.com .  They sent out a Solkoa S3 Pro Survival Kit for evaluation and it was burning in my hands for a few days […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Boots can be an interesting thing to review: we think of them in such simple terms (protect my feet) but in day-to-day use there are a number of metrics they are measured by. Â Failure to keep up in any department means the whole package doesn’t work. Â Does the heel cup chafe your Achilles? Â Too much […]
