The first of a two part series, this article covers the scanning portion of thermal night hunting with a review of the IrayUSA Mini MH25 thermal scanner.

If you’re in the market for a new pack that can be utilized for a variety of hunts, from day to multi-day excursions, give the guys at Stone Glacier a call.

Holosun is creeping into the optic market unapologetically. They started as a budget optics manufacturer but have quickly earned a place at the table. The Holosun 507C is a worthy optic for a shotgun or handgun and hits a price point that’s tough to beat.

Full disclosure, this week’s review is on a product that comes from a teammate of mine. We go back so far we were building sandcastles on the beach long before we were running guns on the Tigris, and sometimes fast walking guns on the Tigris cause our cardio sucked.

The Axil Trackr Blu headphones provide fantastic hearing protection with an awesome audio component that offers Bluetooth compatibility for superior connectivity in the modern world. This is my first experience with Axil products and I can’t help but be impressed. They’ve since become my very favorite headphones and I look forward to seeing what else Axil has to offer.

You know how a lot of range bags are glorified purses and constructed in a way that tells you they were meant as disposable give-away marketing products? Today isn’t one of those days.
