Anytime you travel to remote areas, communication is often compromised. It’s a concern I have wherever I may be. As a former Ranger, communication was paramount for a successful mission. Nothing has changed since those days except the technology. Even with modern smart phones, travel to countries with a limited network will render them useless. Additionally, […]
TriStar Arms is proud to release the Bristol line of side-by-side shotguns in two formats and four gauges. Side-by-side shotguns offer a classic look and feel with a more dynamic shooting experience. A side by side’s shallower action makes reloading a breeze and the wider forend lays nicely in the palm for quick pointing, but […]
Studies and Observations Group (SOG) has been in the business of crafting fine blades and tools for both military and civilian markets since its inception in 1986. In 1992, when the SEAL’s held trials for a new knife, the SEAL 2000 from SOG won the contract and remained in production from 1995-2007. The 2nd knife in the SEAL line was slightly […]
A couple years back, my Battalion Commander took all his Junior Officers up to the North Georgia Appalachian Trail, where we all hiked about 50mi of the AT in just over 24 hours. We weren’t given a specific packing list, but told to “pack what you’ll need”. We knew with this type of terrain, for […]

It’s badass and I can’t imagine switching to anything else. The Vortex Optics Razor UH-1 has been adopted by anyone and everyone that can get their hands on it as the go-to CQC/CQB optic. It’s fair in weight and the eye relief is incredible (I mean it is a holograph so that’s not really a […]
As with many of us, the search for the next best piece of gear is never-ending. However, it is nice to hear feedback from other’s experiences with gear in order to save money and time. This article shares some insight into the writer’s favorite set of options for an EDC Flashlight. High, medium, and low […]

As I continue to build my SR 762 from Ruger (.308) I decided to acquire a chest rig. I have a plate carrier already (which this rig can attach to), but I wanted something lightweight I could use while hunting with this platform (WA a .308 is good for all big game). After talking to […]

If you’re a Veteran, then this is the day that we recognize, and thank you for your service. Often on Veterans Day, Veterans are […]
Let’s discuss pocket-carried / belt-carried flashlights. There are about eighty-six gazillion of them out there to choose from. The one I carry daily is the OLight M20SX JAVELOT. I won’t bore you with all the technical mumbo-jumbo, for I am not a professional flashlight reviewer. There are already many reviews about this particular product online from […]
About 6 weeks before the event, I get a text from a friend in Tennessee. The discussion turns to the Red Clay Rally scheduled for 16-18 October 2020. Having never heard of the event, I decide to dig a little deeper. Not too much info online, just a deliberately vague website and a few videos depicting stuck […]
Ever since the announcement of Sig’s new P365 micro-compact pistol, I’ve eagerly anticipated its arrival. At SHOT Show, I had the pleasure of handling the pistol at the Sig Sauer booth but missed the opportunity to shoot it on Range Day. Apparently, Sig Sauer has their own range day and doesn’t participate in the Industry Day […]
