The evolution of red dots has made many improvements in the last few years, and now having an experienced company like Springfield Armory providing its influence is sure to help that trend continue. Red dots are here to stay so get out and try the new models from HEX Optics.

If you live in an environment where a full-up variable power scope is too much, but sometimes a red dot alone isn’t enough, the combo is an excellent gap filler. At $1400 for the set, it isn’t cheap. But it does fill a wide variety of needs, and being from Trijicon, you know it won’t let you down.

Its rugged waterproof, shockproof, and fog-proof design protect it even in the harshest elements, and its battery life means it’ll keep going and going and going no matter how long you use it. If you’re in the market for a new red dot, I’d give the Vortex SPARC Solar a look.

Since it is a fact that most deadly force encounters happen in dim light where it is hard to see, having a light source you can use to illuminate your target is essential.

I have known hundreds of hunters over the years and I have to say turkey hunters are the most passionate, focused group of hunters I’ve ever encountered.

Whether it’s hunting or competitive shooting, precision matters. Leupold Optics has designed the Mark 5HD line of riflescopes to be the ideal offering for a competition-oriented shooter.

Flashlights that are powered by a battery go back to the early 1900s and the first weapon-mounted light did not appear until 1912 when George A. Seely of San Francisco invented his Night Sight For Firearms. We have come a long way since then.

There are credible stories around of a laser aiming device being pointed at a felonious aggressor and stopping an attack. For some reason, some bad guys see a dot dancing on their body and decide that they might get shot. Since they want to avoid that, they stop any criminal attack.

If you’re thermal-curious and have the budget, go buy one of these. If you’re a veteran night hunter looking to upgrade your set-up to something more streamlined? Believe the hype. The Pulsar Thermion delivers.
