I had an opportunity to use the binoculars for a short time on a prairie dog shoot in Wyoming and came away impressed because the Fusion X binoculars pack a lot of functionality into an affordable package.

For many of you reading this and just jumping into the world of thermal optics, do not fret, it is not as complicated as some may suggest. While Thermal scopes are not cheap, they are an absolute game-changer in the world of night hunting. 5 years ago, I would have never believed how powerful of a tool thermal would become in my hunting game.

Stabilized binoculars are pretty rare on the civilian market, but they have a huge following in military circles. The stabilized part comes from an internal gyroscopic stabilizer, a mechanical device that makes them self steading. It is a weird concept, for sure. But in practice, it is basically magic. It really does work and is a game-changer for binocular work.

Described as a “performance heritage” hunting boot, the Recurve features a traditional hunting boot design made with the latest high-tech materials. It has a full-grain leather and suede upper with Danner Dry 100% waterproof barrier, removable OrthoLite insoles, and Vibram mid/outsoles.

ica family! Once again, we approach the Holiday season, which means a shopping list for that hard-to-please weapons fanatic in the family. Whether you are looking for others, or need to print this list and spray glue it to the fridge to avoid the pitfalls of amateur tactical gifts, we have your back.

Here are some Christmas knives that should be on your list this year.  Each category should help if you need ideas to upgrade your own carry collection, or perhaps need some ideas to fill up your wish list.  Not only are these practical, but each is also a great value.  These recommendations were the result of putting them through everyday use and a little abuse to see how they held up.  I hope they serve you well into 2022, whatever it may bring.
