The Ruger Precision Rifle is a very accurate, affordable and capable rifle right out of the box. Advertising sub minute of angle accuracy from the factory cold hammer-forged 4140 chrome-moly steel barrel. Having shot almost 1000 rounds through the trusty steel barrel, I can concur with Rugers accuracy claims. Attending several long-range shooting classes at […]
Awhile back I introduced the HOTTAP v2 from Joolca to our readers. Well, I finally received my Nomad Kit from them and started tinkering around with it. I basically went through an unscripted first set-up in the garage with the sink. Followed by the shower in the back yard just to see how it all worked. […]
I recently finished a block of training with my Trusty Glock 19. Although we focused on the addition of the Red Dot Sight from Holosun, one phrase kept coming up. “We don’t shoot in the dark”. Not implying that we don’t shoot at night. Just that we don’t shoot at something or someone we can’t […]

Flashback a few years to Outdoor Retailer Summer Market when two military veterans walk into a massive convention center in Salt Lake City for the first time. Once we pick up our media credentials and shuffle into the overwhelming mass of vendors, manufacturers, buyers and the like. One of our first memorable experiences is observing a […]
When I’m packing my go-bag, there are two items I always have in the admin pocket. A good pen and a small light. In some of my travel backpacks, the Streamlight that I typically pack is a bit too thick to slide into a pen pocket. Fortunately, I recently discovered the OPen 2 from Olight. […]
When I was serving in the 2nd Ranger Battalion in the 90’s, we were issued a particularly unstylish but effective pair of ballistic sunglasses (pictured below). Not the “cool guy” Oakleys that have been in use by our soldiers for some time now. Oakley has really stepped up and poured tons of development money into […]
