Any time I obtain a new gun, I try to run a variety of ammo through it to find which combination shoots best. Different weight projectiles and various bullet profiles can have significantly altered trajectories, with no way to predict (infallibly) which a specific firearm will prefer. With that in mind, I picked up three […]
Way back in the early days of 2001 I had just graduated from Basic Training and Infantry AIT in the US Army. Next up was the revered Airborne School. My brother (4 years older) had just received the same school as a re-enlistment bonus from the USMC. The only problem, I was slated for class […]
These are heady days we’re living in, with guns and politics at the forefront of the mass media consciousness. With politics continuing its ever downward spiral into total incivility, sometimes it’s nice to take a step back and enjoy some of what brings us together: people enjoying the simple thrill of shooting. The following video […]
You’ve got to hand it to a company that specializes in and produces products within one category. It takes ingenuity and focus to keep your product line narrowly defined, not spiraling out into every conceivably related field. Such is the vision apparent within Exotac, a company which is centered around Ranger TV: fire and fire […]
Morakniv of Sweden has been making blades for over a hundred years. Â While the company has undergone a few name changes, their commitment to crafting ultra-sharp knives for use at home or in the field has never wavered. I recently received the Morakniv Tactical for testing and evaluation. Â While I’m busy taking this thing out […]
When you’re out in the woods, it seems the one thing you never have quite enough of is light. Â Either it’s not strong enough, focused enough or just not where you need it. Â Princeton Tec is constantly working to make the best, brightest and lightest light you’ll find, so you won’t ever be stuck in […]
While it’s great to read up on a specific round’s accuracy potential before a big purchase, (for purposes other than target shooting) it’s equally important to know what kind of terminal performance to expect the projectile to achieve as well. As I’m getting ready to spin up an article on some handgun ammo reviews I […]
The fanboy debate on AR15 vs. AK47 has died down to an extent due to the former shifting the narrative away from a caliber specific matchup, to a comparison based purely on the merits of the operating system. A few companies have tried to blur the line by combining traits of the two platforms, creating […]
While in the midst of building up my ultralight AR-15, I came across the AR-15 Parts Weight Database (PWD). This wonderful little resource has compiled both advertised and user-verified weights for a vast multitude of AR parts and accessories which is great for planning out your build, as well as discovering products that you hadn’t […]
Everyone has their own routine when they hit the range: most will set up targets, many will check their zero. From watching a few casual shooters at the range, next comes practicing their ability to stand straight up and sling lead to an area +-3 yards around a target that’s about 50 yards away. Don’t […]
